I’m a long-time lurker, who posts only occasionally. I recently returned from a lengthy, and IMHO well-deserved, vacation to Cabo San Lucas. On my return, I saw that Satan has been banned and was quite surprised. Brian was always one of my favorite posters.
Without taking sides, or stirring up dissent, can someone direct me to the thread(s) leading to the ban? I searched a bit on my own, but didn’t see anything on point.
Oh yeah, since this is the pit, [insert gratuitous expletives here].
The thread you need is “Olentzero flamebaits himself for Satan.” It’s pretty recent, so I’m surprised your search was fruitless. Maybe you forgot to set your search parameters correctly – the default length of time it searches isn’t very long, so you may need to expand it.
there’s a nifty little feature in the upper right corner of your screen…when used properly, it can give you the answers to all the world’s greatest dilemmas
Sapphire, I have such a crush on you.
“dead horse” for the link name. heh
“Dead horse”. Hehehe…
Nope, nothing to add here. ::snicker::
If you want to catch up with Brian, you can find him as Satan Here and as NYCNative Here.
And this isn’t an endorsement.
And some of you could care less.
It’s just an FYI.
I screwed that up, like the stupid idiot just-crawled-out-of-my-Mom-wet-behind-the-ears-newbie-bait that I am.
Click here for Satan.
Click here for NYCNative.
That should do it.
I’m gonna go find my horsey now.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
Forget it.
You wanna find him, HIRE A DETECTIVE.
The announcement and links are in “About This Message Board”.

Pariah, it appears you were trying to say that Brian may be found as the poster “Satan” at Fathom and as the poster “NYCNative” at the The Pizza Parlor.

Erm, what MeBuckner said.

You forget to put “” around the url.
Yes, he is over at those two other boards and he is quite nice, as usual.
The bible is very clear on Satan’s fate:
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Isaiah 14:12-19 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
Uh, or did you mean the guy named Satan who posted here?
OK, I think that this question has been answered to everyone’s satisfaction.
