Hi Hannibal, enjoy lurking and posting, which are two of our favorite pastimes now.
This must be a new record. Being banned after 1 post. What a way to make a first impression.
Hi Hann! Welcome.
I wish someone had gotten banned in my welcoming thread!
Eh, look at his post. That’s not his first post, just his first post under that name. We don’t just ban names, we ban the people behind them, no matter what name they’re using. Some folks haven’t caught on to this.
Lynn, I don’t want to disgree with you in ATMB, so I posted to this related discussion in the Pit.

In the middle of all this hoo-ha, I’m wondering whatever became of HannibalV. He/she popped in to say, “Here I am,” and then desappeared without another post. Then his/her innoccuous little thread becomes a hotbed for troll bashing (or at least troll related issues, shall we say).
Jack, that’s not so odd. With Mu Mu, EVERYTHING becomes a freaking troll-related issue. Give it a rest, lady!

You know damn well I’m a man. Don’t pull the gender game.
It insults women, more than it insults me.
They can see that when you call me a woman, like it was an insult, like calling me a junior student, it means you think little of them.
Well I’m a man and older than you so get real.
I also noticed lately the mods said you were not a respected poster. I guess they keep the records on that game.
You also know damn well I come to about 5% as many of these troll threads as you do.
I may have been to 5, tops.
Also, it wasn’t a troll thread until TubaDiva overreacted and started a fight with some newbie.
If it had been “Homer” would she have blown up over that remark?
Try it this way, and check.
Would this have been even possible as an exchange?
I do? Point out one instance where I recognize your masculinity.
Uh. Yeah.
Show me. I’d like to see. Yeah, I’ve fucked up. I’ve also paid my time. I don’t think I’m being called into question here.
Mu Mu, I see you in nearly every troll thread in ATMB, and the Pit. And nowhere else. What does that tell me? While I also frequent ATMB and the Pit, I also talk in MPSIMS, share in IMHO, and help in GQ.
I don’t find her remark to be an overreaction. If someone was always questioning YOUR tactics and policies, wouldn’t YOU always be on the offense?
No. That wouldn’t have happened. Do you know why? Because I’m known to joke around. You are not. I’m also known to do more than just bitch and moan about the message board. You are not. I’m also known to take part and particpate. You are not. THOSE are the reasons that you’re taken to task.
Do you want to speak about this more in the pit? I do. I get God-damned tired of your ho-humming about complaining about this and that, and how terrible everything is, defending the scum of the earth, saying how everything’s wrong, and then not adding a SINGLE WORTHWHILE THING to this board! I can think of a dozen other people JUST like you and they all piss me off. Got it?

Mu Mu, this is not the appropriate forum for your little vendettas.
Homer, that goes for you too. You should have taken your own advice - and posted your rant in the Pit.
I have no idea whether or not one of our administrators has anything to add to this obviously derailed thread. But for now, it is closed.
