So, did you bump his pit thread before or after posting this. Let me check. ETA, you bumped it after posting this. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > You’re clear on the difference between blogging and posting, right? Does this board owe anyone their own blogspace? The only example I can think of was that they gave Liberal a debate-free zone (effectively) in Great Debates once so he could have a blog where first he set up his terms and then you were only allowed to talk to him in those weirdly, non-standard definitions of those terms. And you weren’t allowed to disagree with him in any terms other than his weird usages. There were a total of maybe 8 threads in that “series” but incident was a one-off. In every other case, people have either been allowed to essentially blog, as long as it was kept in one thread and with the understanding that others could challenge them, OR it was just shut down. ---

heh I remember when collonsbury and december were forced to ignore each others existence and both still managed to get banned …december for being a vauge moron and collonsbury for personality problems … ---

Been posted to less than 24 hours before (by you none the less). Two. Still way up on the first page. Three. Wasn’t just a bump. Was your post a bump? ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > I am not a troll **BigT**. I just have some strong opinions on a few things in the same way that you do and it pisses some people off even though I am sincere. You are the type of person that I was thinking of when I said I would happily go out to eat with even though we disagree on many things. There is no problem with that. I don’t expect most people to agree with me on some things. > [snip] I just wanted to say, I’d never go out to eat with you even if you picked up the bill. I’d worry about puking every time you opened your mouth. ---

> [@Green\_Bean](#): > > Do you genuinely want to see Shagnasty banned outright? Long time posters get banned all the time. **Dio** , **BrainGlutton** , **Markxxx** , **Otto** come to mind. **Stranger** was suspended for a month. So, no problem. ---
