I’ll hug you. Just let me get my razor-blade vest. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MachineHead \* > \*\*No hugs from Lorenzo either?☹ \*\* You know what, I am a pushover for hugs, so yes, you get one from me. But dead straight: Based on my observations I will tell you that on this board: Posters will cut you a certain amount of slack here initially, but if they don’t see any improvement you can expect eternal seperation whether official or unofficial. The prime directive is “Don’t be a jerk” as interpreted by the mods. No one is entitled to act like a jerk here. Other sand boxes on the web are much less restrictive. Most of the posters here have very sensitive BS (can I post that here?) detectors. Mock repentence is worse than no repentence at all. There’s no sense in being a member here if most of your fun is coming at the expense of other posters. We try to lift each other up rather than tear each other down, when possible. In case you were wondering, yes, I do sometimes think of myself as the conscience of this MB, deluded as that may be. ---

Don’t worry Jesus loves you. Everyone else doen’t though. ---

Then no-one loves you (Jesus, assuming he was a special dude [which I don’t] was not a God. So being an atheist does not mean you don’t believe in the J man) ---

I’m still waiting on _my_ apology for that lame and unwarranted Pitting. Perhaps if that’s forthcoming, you might begin to be accepted here. It’s not too late, even for you. ---

No. I’ve already given my apology to Jeff Olsen > [@](#): > > Also, I’m not a troll. I apologize for that thread, and my actions in it. Please forgive me. But that still doesn’t excuse you for being a jackass and a postwhore. ok? ---

I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Apology accepted and I sincerely hope you don’t do anything to make me regret that. 🙂 ---

Just one thing, I believe **Q.E.D.** already has a designated basher regarding that high post ratio. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lord-i-need-a-hug/164952.md?page=1)
