I knew it was too good to be true. (Refering to the OP. Remember that? Way before all the mods joined the hijacking? And after I asked for that not to happen, too.) ---

Itā€™s true! I saw it over in General Questions. Barking Spider started a thread that asked if W really waved at Stevie Wonder, which shortly turned into a thread about the relative merits of Bushiness. Manhattan came in and said if anyone else talked about Bush other than the wave question (or something like that) he would ban them post haste. A soon to be former member (location Tokyo, name not remembered, but with approx 350 posts) darn near simulposted his disapproval of the Commander in Chief (may have been composing and going to the fridge) and he is now shown as banned. Another poster noted that it might be a simulpost and Tubadiva said no apology had been forthcoming. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gaudere \* > \*\*Maybe 'sprix shouldnā€™t listen to chat rumors. šŸ˜ƒ There is no new rule to ban people who hijack threads. I suppose if someone did it every thread weā€™d consider it ā€œbeing a jerkā€, but I donā€™t think any current dopers need fear banning. \*\* Iā€™m relieved! If this rule were implemented, practically everyone who posted to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95345&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) (self included) would be outta here! ---

My son is nearly 18, dark blonde hair, blue eyes, 6 foot 1, 180 lbs, barrel chested, swimmer, bright underachiever, but frankly, to date, his choices in girlfriends have left me underimpressed. Perhaps we could arrange an introduction? šŸ˜ƒ \*\* I do have two younger sisters _right in Flint_, before you start hawking prime goods all over creation. They are bright, musical, cute, and reasonably well educated. One blonde, one redhead. (Though they are a bit young.) ---

**DPWHite** - re-check the pit thread about that situation - the poster emailed the admins and has been reinstated. and **Medeaā€™s Child** - um, how young? I have strict rules about my son getting involved w/females under age of consent in MI (16). But, we can arrange something perhaps if the age is ok. šŸ˜ƒ as long as theyā€™re bright (and, not like the one he had, a psycho bitch from hell ) ---
