To be fair the kindle thread probably shouldn’t be in GQ. You could move it to IMHO, since I’m pretty sure **TVeblen** once contemplated getting a kindle. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > Isn’t there a rule in place that if 90 percent (or so) of all a person’s posts are complaining about the board that they should be banned? There’s a rule along those lines for complaining in the Pit[sup]_[/sup] but I don’t think one’s been established for complaining across the board. [sup]_[/sup]Given that complaints about mod actions now go in ATMB, that rule probably should be updated. ---

I’d like to make stupidity a bannable offense in and of itself. No more quibbling over whether or not someone is a troll or an agent provocateur or what have you. Stupidity (general, not from time to time) results in an instaban. Hey, a man can dream. ---
