Or why you would been banned or Edsmacked if the nrew rules had been in effect six months ago. Let’s see… My pitting of **kanicbird** might have done it. Certainly my pitting of **lissener** would have, as I was entirely in the wrong. I’ve called many, many posters Fools of Tooks. And before getting bored with it, i must have threatened to violently overthrow all legitimate terrestrial governments dozens of times. And of course there’s all the cruel things I’ve written about **Cecil Adams** in disappearing ink the bathroom walls. ---

I will say “phuque!” and try to argue that it is an obscure Bulgarian term of endearment. ---

> [@Gadarene](#): > > Also gonna be locked. Yeah, most likely. But I’m not complaining, only being a goof. I am very goofy on Tuesdays. But since I hadn’t realized the new rules include not complaining about the administration hereabouts, I will officially request that this thread be moved to either MSPIMS and required to be a joke thread, or to ATMB and required to be about complaints. Just to be sure. ---

Apparently Chicagoans can’t handle string language. This would never have happened in a New York-based board. ---

Why will I be banned? Probably because I think that these changes are unnecessary bullshit, and so will probably go somewhere else, telling a certain admin exactly what I think before I go. - This is a signature This is a name\* ---

I will implicitly criticize board policy in a Pit thread. No wait, that’s you. Umm…I will tell someone that their intelligence rivals that of the creator of the new pit rules. I will be banned despite the clear ambiguity. ---

Well, I think your mother’s reputation is questionable, and I’ll probably be called to task over that. I’m sure it implies that, were we to meet in person I might sniff disdainfully and mentally impugn her. ---

I went off the deep end once and said to **Harborwolf** , “Oh fuck you, you pompous asshole” which I should have apologized for before now. Sorry … didn’t really mean it, I was just all het-up. But here’s the thing. I was pissed off at him. Reading back on it now, I think it was more from a misunderstanding than a true argument, and I honestly took a step back and thought to myself, “wow, that was pretty uncalled for … eh, water under the bridge.” But I’m pretty sure \*\*Harborwolf \*\*doesn’t hate me because of it – or maybe he does. But it was, as far as I’m concerned, a healthy vent. No different that what I’d say to my best friend face to face if we had been having the same argument. There will be suicide-FUCK YOU-bannings … I can feel them coming. ---

Because the OP doesn’t so much link to the new rules, let alone summarize them, however briefly, but merely assumes that any damn fool knows them. I don’t, so I may very well run afoul of them. No thanks to you, you blithe, smug twit of an OP. ---

I don’t, so I may very well run afoul of them. No, no, that’s why **SKALD** will be banned. You are not he. I know this, because I am he, and you are not I. I checked just to be sure.
