Out of curiosity, did the Mods got involved to confirm that no sockery was involved? Not that I’m calling you out or anything, **PRR** , just considering that I’d go stir crazy if I was gone for a year. Did you get $250? ---

[/QUOTE] The mods said back last year when this went down they would not get involved. However, if they caught **PRR** socking, he would now be banned like any other poster. There was at least one or two fake socks after \*\*PRR \*\* left. They were not determined to be him. In fact IMHO, they were obvious attempts to just stir some shit of course. I know what you mean about going stir crazy though. 😉 ---

There were many, but it sort of started here: [Thank you, Dopers and (eventually) Pitters!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=407718) [A pitting of Liberal and the Mods that let it happen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=408995). From here it morphed more to [Quiddity](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=410203). Keep in mind this was related to the \*\*BadChad \*\* stuff that was happening at the time. As a bonus [here is a summary](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8286888&postcount=580) I made at the end of my pitting of the events. Jim ---

The disposition of the money became less important to both participants during the time that the enforced absence was happening. As the money issue faded, the absence itself became less important to both participants. Eventually, **Lib** said I could tell **PRR** to post again if he wished, and that he considered the money unimportant. It was several months more before the final resolution, which you see here. I find that I am unwilling to give more details, since it does not matter to me. The participants can do as they wish. My preference is a fairly rapid fall to page two, and beyond. Tris ---

I never really understood why it was some huge fucking hairy deal that one poster offered another poster money to stop posting. Is there anything else that a poster shouldn’t offer to buy? Would it be OK if a non-poster offered a poster money to stop posting? It’s the **US** of **A** folks. Money walks and bullshit talks. ---

Why would she need to be spineless to put up with me or out with the girls. It is neither and maybe you could at least keep your insult to me and not totally embarrass yourself for the shrill harpy that you so often are on these boards. You ask a question about not understanding why what \*\*Liberal \*\* did was perceived as wrong by many and I answered that is was hashed out last year. You come back with flaming insults and I am the freak? You were part of this bullshit last year, so you already read the real answer to your question then in all likelihood. So fuck off yourself!
