When you took our physical threats, I said nothing for I did not threaten to kick anybody’s ass. When you took our jokes, I was passive because, frankly you scare the shit outta me. [But now you come for my drunken posts AND I WILL NOT GO GENTLY INTO THE SOBER NIGHT!!!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5681435&postcount=13) Look, my days of drunken posting are gone forever but please, _please_ do not take away the last little bit of fun I can still have with alcohol. ---

If posting while drunk is against the rules, then I’m breaking them now. As was the case with half of my post-count. ---

It seems from past experience: Drunken posts like **Eleusis** ’ OP in MPSIMS… OK Drunken posts in the Pit… Buh-bye. Don’t ask me why. ---

I looked at it as an improperly placed thread, pro’lly 'cause the poster was drunk. T’wasn’t a rant. poster was waxing eloquent as it were about the movie, meaning of life and all that shit that we think is deep when we’re drunk. at least that’s how I took it. IRT: posting while drunk - we’ve had some notable meltdowns via posting drunk, but I’d see it more as a “if you can’t stand to read what you post while drunk” and /or “can’t seem to obey the rules while posting drunk” than “don’t post while drunk”. ---

Luckily I rarely drink anymore, and when I do I’m rarely at the computer, but god, don’t read any of my posts from more than 3 years ago. I was likely drunk :D. ---

:rolleyes: Jeezus, next it’s gonna be ‘Don’t post while you’re high’ or, ‘Don’t post from work’ or ‘Don’t post if you’re in a bad mood’ I’m all for restrictions, and maybe the post was in the wrong place, but IMO, better it be moved than closed. Pimpy. ---

Oh, come on people… I’m usually the last one to kiss up to the mods/admins, but let’s be realistic. The post was in the wrong forum, rambled on in a nonsensical (yet strangely poetic) way and pitted absolutely nothing. I think y’all can cut Lynn a break in this case. Doesn’t she take enough crapola to have to explain why she locked that post? And do we really need folks to nitpick and ask things like what constitutes PUI? ---

[But now you come for my drunken posts AND I WILL NOT GO GENTLY INTO THE SOBER NIGHT!!!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5681435&postcount=13) This looks a bit like a self-referential joke posting to me. Lynn hand-tore me a new one when I posted a parody pitting several months ago; no mercy, no forgiveness. I learned my lesson, but I think I’m still probably on her s\*\*t list. Hope you have good health insurance. ---

Doesn’t she take enough crapola to have to explain why she locked that post? And do we really need folks to nitpick and ask things like what constitutes PUI? Yes, she does take a lot of crapola. It comes with the non-paying job. All the mods and admins are suckers, if you ask me. Taking all that abuse just because they love this place. Still, when an Admin says “Please don’t post while you’re drunk” we need to make it very clear what is meant. I’m hoping she’ll come in here and say she meant "Please don’t post while you’re drunk, **Eleusis** and then this will all be an unpleasant misunderstand which we will laugh about with our grandkids. ---

I meant “Don’t post nonsense while you’re drunk.” Actually, I should have just said “Don’t post nonsense, no matter what state of mind you’re in.” And apparently, the only grandkids I’m gonna have will have four legs and whiskers.
