Johnny Hildo's banning reason

That, my friend, was beautiful.

[QUOTE=Telperien]
Was that a lame joke, **Liberal, ** or have you just misread “antagonistic”?

It could be worse. He could have lit into me for calling Johnny a nasty little Shi’ite.

But don’t you think criticism of Johnny’s banning is coming a little too Sunni?

Naw, guy was a Kurd.

[Moderating]You may repost something similar, as long as you don’t attribute the quote to Puzzler.

I offer my sheepish apologies to you and Puzzler. :o That rule totally slipped my mind.

Ironically, that rule was instituted precisely because someone threatened to sue the Reader for libel after a poster here altered his words inside a quote box.

Really? Even though (I assume) that poster’s original quote was still available to be read unaltered in the thread? What a punk-ass bitch whiner, whoever it was. Aren’t there laws that protect obvious satire?

Actually, as I hinted at the time, I was quite surprised that Johnny Hildo was not officially warned at the very least based on the first thread he started with litigation threats.

No harm, no foul. However, since as has been said that rule itself was prompted by the threat of a lawsuit, it isn’t permitted.

What can I say, the guy was a lawyer (or at least claimed to be). :wink: And nothing will protect you from a frivolous lawsuit.

I can understand the Reader taking the measure to protect itself, I just can’t understand someone seriously threatening a lawsuit over something so ridiculous. I mean, I’m not surprised by it, I just don’t understand it.

If you Mods have any of his pants, you better damn well get them back to him.

So, Johnny Hildo has been banned.

That’s no way to treat a paying costumer!
[/QUOTE]

We really don’t know if he was a costumer or if he had to pay for the privilege.
Maybe he supplies the jackboots.

I for one would rather not know what costumes people wear around here, with a few exceptions, but that would be a different thread.

Personally though, I change costumes depending on which forum I post in.

So, um, what are you wearing now?

That might be license you don’t want to give me.

Well, Klaatu always has a necktie, or so I’ve heard.

Klaatu bare-ass-a nude-o?

CMC fnord!

Sweet Og, that would be a bad visual.
