> **[Cecil's Lousy Call Letter Answer (repost)](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=2)** > > MODERATOR COMMENT: Please note that this thread is from 1999, revived in 2000, 2001, 2004 and a couple of other times. Please don’t bother to post anything that was already posted, and please don’t expect answers from people who may have posted... Okay, so maybe bumping a five year old thread that most Dopers have not even seen in this time that we are waxing nostagic about the old SDMB is not very bright. But it is not as stupid as making personal insults in the “Coments on Cecil’s Columns” forum. I’m bright enough to know that personal insults belong ONLY in the Pit, **Ilsa Lund** you ignorant slut. ---

Yes, I apologize. It was out of line. I was just trying to find a way to express my incredulity at the act without sounding like a “Junior Mod.” Bumping threads like that (just an observation) usually gets a mod-slap. Kinda like a joke thread in the Pit does. Once again, I apologize. I was just astounded to suddenly find a five year old thread bumped by someone I thought might know better. I shall refrain from making any more personal coments outside the Pit. (Let’s see, this makes IV) ---

**Ilsa** has sadly disappointed **Annie-Xmas** by refusing to insult her. I suggest that the rest of us should take up the challenge. **Annie** , you’re _such_ a silly sausage. Ha! Take that! ---

I’d be careful about this. The mods (especially Lynn) have been extremely ban-and-suspend happy about the forums these days. You know what they say about absolute power and all that. ---

I can’t understand why anyone who honestly felt the Staff were corrupted or power-mad or ban happy would stay here one more second. I wonder if there’s a little SDMB Leprechaun of Masochism that forces people to keep coming back for more punishment? Or are people unaware that there are billions of fun, interesting, and unusual websites and domains out there ready for exploration? So I asked one of my cats, and he directed me to post this link: I guess maybe I need to assist: [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=fun+interesting+unusual&btnG=Google+Search](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=fun+interesting+unusual&btnG=Google+Search) ---

I wonder if there’s a little SDMB Leprechaun of Masochism that forces people to keep coming back for more punishment? I’m sorry if my previous post was construed as an attempt to steer the conversation towards me. Nothing could be further from the truth. I simply wanted to report some **observed** behavior to prevent others from being reprimanded. Nothing to see here. As to why we stay, if I let one person’s behavior dictate whether or not I stayed here, I’d have left years ago. The SDMB is more than one person’s whims and/or rude words. I like it here, and have no intention of leaving. ---
