I just want to say, and I won’t say why, that Miller, you really needs to run for POTUS. You totally have my vote Mr. President. In the event you’re unwilling to accept this nomination, we, the undersigned, would like to to offer you a lifetime subscription to _Trollslayer Magazine_. ---

NOT seconded.\* Not because I have any problem with how he executes his moderator avocation. I simply feel that expecting him to run the country AND continue providing the excellent service he does here is unrealistic. **Miller** , I salute you, sir. Please don’t ever forsake us. \*Except for the magazine subscription. THAT I can get behind. ---

Are you saying that the country as a whole is just like The Pit? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just asking if that’s what you mean. ---

The country as a whole, with some hard work and serious effort, over several generations, could _potentially_ be lifted up to the level of the Pit. \*Joins hands with **Loach** , begins singing chorus of _We Are The World_ while **Miller** does his so-so Stevie Wonder impersonation. ---

As someone who lives on _Main Street_, not Wall Street, like all you fatcats, we the good Americans in so-called “Flyover country” also would like to lend our support to the ever-growing, grass-roots all-American “Miller for Trollslayer” movement. ---

While I am happy that a certain troll finally got his just desserts (if that is the hidden agenda behind the rejoiceful OP)-I only have one question- **what took you guys so long?** Yeah, he’s banned, can’t discuss banned posters since they aren’t here anymore-got it. I just want to be on record about how you guys need to be a bit quicker with that trigger finger next time. I mean, you gave that guy enough rope to hang himself 200 times over. ---

Just curious… was this guy ever given his 1 week or 1 month suspension before being banned? ---

He got the full month. (And good luck trying to determine his politics.) ---

Completely aside from the individual we’re not talking about, our not talking about of whom will undoubtedly get this thread locked fairly soon, I have been on record for many years as being deeply, passionately, mindlessly in love with **Miller**. Also, apparently, with torturing syntax. I love **Miller** not for his banhammer. Not merely for his banhammer, at any rate. But seriously, **Miller** , I have a free pass for one–and only one–SDMB member. It could be you. Call me. ---
