Lib, For purely selfish reasons I request you not exile yourself. I 'd say that your contribution to this board is substantial. Some of your posts have been the most informative, most well thought out posts on these boards. I’ve learned quite a bit from what you’ve had to say. Your leaviing will leave a whole not easily filled, if at all. Hang around. If you have to, give someone a good-bitch slapping in The Pit. It could be just what everyone needs. ---

Jesus. If a message board is having such a destructive impact on your life that you’ve got to beg to be banned from it, you’re either a drama queen, as **Tuba** said, or too mentally unstable to function in society without the aid of some serious meds. I’m surprised he didn’t just try to fake his own death like **WallyM7**. ---

You all realize, of course, that by posting his request publically, this type of thread is exactly what he was expecting and hoping for. ---

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ What a bore. It’s just a freaking message board, it ain’t the biggest deal in the world. Go. Stay. Whatever. Who cares? Not me. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > In an era where American conservatism has become almost indistinguishable from Bushism, **John Mace** is that rarity, a principled conservative. While lately we’ve seemed to disagree 95% of the time, he and I have agreed on quite a few things. Thanks. Since this thread is in honor of **Lib** , though, allow me to make what you might consider to be a semantic point. I’m not a conservative, although I do try to be principled. But, if we insist on a one-dimensional political axis, I can see why you’d put that label on me. ---

**Liberal** , I’ve got a lot of respect for you, but this sort of thing needs to stop. It’s overly dramatic at the least and downright attention whorish at the worst. You want to take a break from posting? Groovy. Cruise the forums. Read the threads. Don’t post in 'em. It’s not that hard. You don’t need to make the board staff do the work for you. Learn some self control. ---

Aren’t we coming up on the point where we have to re-reguster and everything. Couldn’t **Lib** , in essence, keep himself from posting by just not paying to re-up? ---

**Liberal** , if you’re reading this, please reconsider. I tried to send an email but it’s not in your profile. Anyway, I enjoy your posts. ---

Stay, go, makes no difference to me. Just glad/surprised to see you’re still alive. Do me a favor though, stop hugging all the wood. ---

If he’s really afraid that _he_ can’t make himself stop reading the boards, then nothing would stop him from paying later. 'Fact, I don’t think anything would stop him if he doesn’t have the self-discipline to stay away by his own power. I’m not sure what he stands to gain from this little debacle. Okay, I know what he stands to gain: some more attention. I agree with him philosophically and politically more than, perhaps, anyone else who’s posted in this thread. And even I can see that he’s being baby. ---

Adults exercise self-control. They do not beg to be suspended - they just stop visiting the board. > [@Squink](#): > > What, no **piss**? ☹ > > 😉 That’s $30 extra. ---

I agree with everyone. **Liberal** is intelligent, often insightful, provocative, and a huge fucking drama queen. ---

'Fact, I don’t think anything would stop him if he doesn’t have the self-discipline to stay away by his own power. So, he can’t be counted on to act in his own best interest with regards to money and he wants the authorities to regulate his behavior for him? Hold me Mommy. I’m scared.
