Why only 2 weeks? The guy deliberately broke a pit rule, admitted it, and then told a mod to fuck off when called on it. I’ve seen other people recently get 30 days for considerably less than that. This just doesn’t seem fair.
Note: I am not knocking Gfactor at all here. There is no doubt a suspension was warranted…hell, the guy practically begged for it. I just do not understand how Xan gets off so light for deliberate misconduct when other people got more time for what appears from the outside to be less severe misconduct.
I saw the “two weeks” part and started thinking really hard at what could get someone only two weeks. Perhaps a cooling off period but nothing else came to mind.
Then I read his post and wondered why it wasn’t far longer.
Not yet. We’ll see how he behaves after his suspension.
In the meantime, can I interest you in burning a spammer or two? You may have your choice of either SDMB spammers or some from my own personal email box. I will require you to put their heads on stakes afterwards, as a Warning To Others, of course.
Burning spammers? Hmmm…that would be a chemical fire, wouldn’t it? All those preservatives, might have to get some kind of permit from the EPA. Also, I claim at least half of the heads on stakes to decorate my driveway. That ought to cut down on local missionary visits…
I seem to recall from reading about the Tower of London that you are supposed to dip the heads in pitch (I think that’s the stuff - I’m not near my torture references at the moment) so that they stay intact for a long time.
