It would seem that we have received clarification from the administration.
At a guess, I suspect that this final post in GD, subsequent, as it was, to this admonition may have played a part in the decision.
Yup. Looks like Suicide by Mod alright. I’ve seen it time and time again. Good Lord, why do they do to themselves? Don’t they have anything to live for?

I wouldn’t worry for Milum, I’m sure he can easily get a job writing editorials for Fox News.

:smack: Goddamnit. I tried to warn him. 
Seriously, though, chances are this thread will be closed, since its main subject has been sent to Coventry.
I’d say that the chances of this thread being closed are close to 100%, since I intend to do it after this post.
