No one threatened to make him gone except himself, mind you. Not because he disagreed with a warning, or even a mod note, but because he demands an apology… That being said, The Horror Of Blimps was pretty funny. ---

Being conservative, despite what some people think, doesn’t mean being a jerk. It doesn’t mean glorying in pwning the libs, and it doesn’t even mean punching down. Scylla’s not being criticized here for taking a conservative position. Making little kids cry isn’t, last I checked, in the Republican platform, especially not if they’re American citizens. So talking about not attacking conservative posters is a canard, unless you think we need to handle them with kid gloves lest we scare them away, rendering them immune from criticism for their non-political activities. > [@bobot](#): > > No one threatened to make him gone except himself, mind you.

Sure, the horror of blimps was pretty good, let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > I’ve never even finished reading the tedious thing. Same. I could never understand the internet masturbation over that thing. Especially since you can smell the smug of it and most of his other TLDR attempts. Should it be a board rule that if somebody asks to be banned that their wishes should be respected immediately? ---

**Moderator Action** Since this thread is now mostly opinions of Scylla, I think we’re done here. Thread closed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/response-to-loach/839111.md?page=3)
