Well, you see, it was really an accusation of being a repeat guest, which is a no-no, but which isn’t a sock or a troll.

:scrapes and bows like the toadie he is:

Realizing the ironclad logic you presented in your post, I went ahead and suspended myself. But, then, after a minute or two of deep thought, I also realized that I was a dashing fellow who brought cheer and happiness into the world; so, I extended my hand in mercy and unsuspended myself.

It’s quite possible my riveting and heartfelt story will be on Oprah next week. In preparation, I plan on getting all gussied-up by buying a watch from Hermes.

Sorry, I’m speaking too loudly.

And how did you unsuspend yourself whilst you were suspended ???

I’m guessing that’s classified.

I would’ve loved to have been there while **SkipMagic** was explaining this to the other moderators …

While this is fun and all, it really belongs in the **Pit** because, wackily enough, it’s a (tongue-in-cheek) comment on a Mod action. Unfortunately, even I, twee as I am, can’t justify moving such a silly thread to the Land of Hot Sauce and Volcanoes.

So, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to close it before I end up doing something kooky and suspending myself again. 😛
