Was he banned for socking or trolling? Maybe chat has a “b” side of the saga. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > It bums me out a little. Just another loss for the diversity of thought on this board. I will disagree. If his POVs had ever been supported by facts, or even what passes in some cases for Facts for various Right Wing individuals, I’d agree. But the sheer volume of misquoted, misattributed, and flat out wrong cites had for a long time indicated a person who had no actual willingness to support an alternate viewpoint. They just wanted to win for their ‘side’ at any cost. This is not an attack on your or other points of view, just an evaluation of the poster in question only. ---

Well, it was a men’s prison I worked in 99% of the time. Didn’t spend too much of my career over at the women’s facilities. Tho what time I was there was rather scary, but in a different way. ---

Ha! And yet again, he has sent me a private message, scolding me for sharing the fact that he is sending me private messages. Somehow, he thinks it is cowardly for me to do so. Dude is wack. @Novelty_Bobble: I will post the full content of any future private messages you send to me, or whatever portion of them I see fit. Send me any more, and I will feel free to post the ones you have already sent to me as well, so others can enjoy seeing your fussy scolds. I have no interest in corresponding with your sorry, idiot ass in private. Send me a private message, and I will respond in public. Get it through your skull. ---

> [@chela](#): > > Maybe chat has a “b” side of the saga I did try to get it to add a mention of “sealion”, but what came out was a little _too_ jabberwocky: the ban hammer went snicker snack and the beamish mod galumphed back with Sam’s head. Which was a bit much and I roundfiled it. Hmm: I should have asked it to end the narrative in a cornfield. ---
