Can I get in on the pot? I’m guessing 55 minutes from the time of the OP. Oh, and BTW, what’s “Sha Right!” 😕 I love the sound of it. ---

Maybe they should add a “Say goodbye to our most recent banned poster”. Then if you have both, you know you’re special. ---

\*\*The Grapist \*\* is and always has been my hero/ine. But I do suggest that, in the interest of convenience, our friendly neighborhood mods perhaps preclude anyone from registering as, say: \*\*Tha Grapist \*\* (all y’all gangstas be warned) **Le Grapiste** (for condemning American foreign policy) **El Grapisto** (for fratboys) **The Gr@pist** (for 133t-freaks) **Grapist, The** (for the Library of Congress set) **The Grappist** (for Sicilians, or hip-hop aficionados, or strictly-observant monks) I mean, I can see it happening. ---

For newbies’ reference: [The Grapist just wants to love!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=182547) Given the senseless violets of the first banning, I’m disappointed that a mod/admin did not post… > [@The\_Grapist](#): > > This post has been Graped by the Grapist!

What I don’t get is that this person apparently subscribed. Post count and Location are both listed, and last I checked, that only happens when you pay. So this person paid $15 to make a single one-line post that they knew they weren’t allowed to make.
