I suppose God should be banned as well, for this thread.
TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW, you need to consider the positive aspects of multiple posters. You, for example, would probably benefit from letting other people post on your behalf.
I’m just wondering which one of you is actually PepperDingus.
That’s not fair. Way back from the beginning, he firmly had one foot in each ‘jerk’ and ‘asshole’ territory. To TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW’s credit, his ignorant, short-sighted, pompous statements tend to be more entertaining than the run-of-the-mill jerks and assholes that pass through.
Oh come on, we’ve all seen those flicks where the nerdy guy hires the cool chick to go to the big dance with him.
Actually, we’re doing no such thing.

Really? I’ve found that a great many school girls are fascinated with planes on treadmills, words ending in “gry” and discussing the differences between British Empiricism and Continental Rationalism.
Basically, I’m saying, I agree with you Cal.
Occasionally, I will chime in on a GD thread, where it probably becomes apparent that I failed to research the topic at hand thoroughly enough. (Colloquilly known as “talking out my ass”.)
Therefore, in light of the OP’s concern, I guess I must confess to being my ass’ sock.
Haw, haw! Great thread! Too bad it’s such a zombie. I wanted to ask what would happen if you tied a piece of buttered toast to the back of a giraffe and dropped him from a tree.
Couldn’t let this thread pass without highlighting this inspired post. I tip my hat to you, sir.
And while I’m at it, I would also like to toss an acclamation to the following snicker-inducing comment:
AKA “Argyle”.
I’m just glad that we’ve all come to somewhat of a compromise and understanding here. I look forward to “MilliCal” joining the board in a few years when she’s legally old enough to!
You are such a wacky fucker.
You presume that you will still be here.
If you’re one person using three screen names and CalMeacham is three people using one screen name, doesn’t it all even out?
Yeah, you’ve really made the world a better place through your efforts.
that’s almost, but not quite, the same phrase I had in mind
Facky wucker?
“I’ve created something that bans posters. And in that purpose, I was a success. I’ve done this because, philosophically, I’m sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you, with no ego, this is my finest banhammer. If, on your board, you should encounter God, God will be banned.”

Now for some potentially unpopular opinions that don’t come from a twit. (If I may flatter myself…)
Since TPTB have apparently not deemed him either a troll or a jerk – apparently he hasn’t crossed the line despite his rampant idiocy – TLDR(etc.) is just as entitled to share his opinion on the board’s administration as anyone else.
This is kinda OT, but related. Cal, I have nothing against you (and I’m sure you don’t know me from Adam/Eve), but it does get a little … oh, not annoying, it doesn’t even rise to that level, let’s just say mildly cloying?.. when you refer to Pepper Mill in posts (e.g. “Pepper Mill was walking past” or “Pepper Mill and I…”) as if we’re all supposed to know who the heck she is. If she was a member ‘briefly’, most of us probably don’t know her. Even fewer may know she’s your wife. Isn’t it clearer and shorter to just say “My wife”? OTOH, if it’s on topic, for example if people are asking about families on the SDMB, that’s a different story.
It’s not a big deal, and I don’t mean to sound like a harriden, even though this is the Pit. It’s just that this shtick always makes my teeth hurt, no matter who it comes from. I frequent TelevisionWithoutPity, for example, and those forums are filled with people saying the equivalent of “Oh I was watching Food Network and HusbandOfChoie happened to walk by and said the funniest thing about Rachael Ray!” or “Two-year-old ChoieDaughter thinks Katherine Heigl’s knees are hideous too!” Why not just say “My husband” or “my kid”? Yuck. The cutesy, it burns.
