I just don’t see the point in discouraging prolific new posters. ---

OK, you win. What I meant to say was: I just don’t see the point in discouraging prolific new posters who refuse to do what a mod asks of them, and who threaten to troll if the mods (and we) do not bow to their demands. ---

I just happen to be reading _A Confederacy of Dunces_ now, and Sear’s writing style/attitude reminds me so much of that book’s “hero.” ---

Meh. I don’t care one way or another. He was harmless and boring; the only way he inconvenienced me is that he made me wear out my pagedown key. Someone that initially engages in poor communication I’m willing to give polite advice to once. After that, if it’s important to their ego to refuse advice, that’s on them. I found his style to be really stupid, so I ignored him. Bam! ---

This is a mild overreaction, I think. A Czeizure? Another alternative is out there, to be sure. CzusieQ is too demeaning? How about Czdog? That has a certain frat familiarity to it. "How ‘bout a kegger at the Deltas, Czdog?’ ---

We have other posters who are incapable of using the quote function. While I find those posters laughably dumb, I otherwise don’t consider it a big deal. ---

I think the point of this pitting is that **sear** refuses to use the goddamn quote button. He pisses me off, too, but he’s not the only one. I do hope the mods respond appropriately to his suicide note, though. Note, I’m not wishing death on him. I just mean I hope his account gets whacked, that’s all. ---

My initial post was not intended to support **sear** , it was intended to suggest that you are over-sensitive delicate flower. I don’t give a rat’s ass about **sear** , although I do think it is self-defeating to admonish and warn newbies. ---
