So…who in SDMB board lore went out with the biggest, funniest, strangest, most profane blaze of glory? I am thinking someone with a parting shot that was heard 'round the board. Something a poster did to say “fuck you, SDMB!!” with passion and alacrity. Anyone? ---

None of them, really… they were here, they posted like jerks, they got banned, life goes on. ---

IIRC, freak freely’s flameout was pretty interesting. ---

That was pretty epic. I was wondering if there was someone (maybe even a longtime poster) that had been like unfairly warned a couple times in their mind and just decided to chuck it all and curse out their enemies, real or imagined, in order to facilitate their own suicide by mod. ---

Lissener kinda went crazy near the end a few years back. He wasn’t banned but his personal life drama and posting drama was pushing 11 before he sorta left. He was a generally good guy when the drama wasn’t in motion though. I hope his life has taken a turn or two for the better since then. ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > … dafuq did I just read?😕 Ditto. But hey, it was 2003. Trolling wasn’t exactly NEW then, but folk have had a decade since to learn how to actually do it and not just sound like an idiot. ---

I don’t see any useful purpose being served by this, given that we don’t generally permit people to take inventory on posters who get banned.
