I remembered that and was going to mention it but she semmed to keep that particular opinion under the radar unless specifically asked about it – that’s my recollection, anyway. The handshake = rape thing she liked to bring up often. Of course, to be fair, posters would bring it up as well just to get a rise from her and, naturally, she always took the bait. I actually do miss her. As long as the topic wasnt handshakes or children, she was a interesting poster. ---

Topic bans go way back. There have been a number of specialized bans over time. One guy posted so many anti-President Bush posts in the Pit that he was finally only allowed one at a time on the front page. ---

I don’t mean a ban on creating topics, but a ban on discussing a particular topic anywhere on the board, such as **YWTF** and transgender issues. ~Max ---

IIRC, he was back a few months ago and had/wanted a new user name. Can’t recall the name, but I don’t think he posted more than the one thread. I sometimes think we should have a pinned thread where posters could drop a note before they leave. They wouldn’t have to explain anything they didn’t want to, but it would be nice to know they didn’t suddenly die. It would have to be modded for the usual “don’t let the door hit you in the ass” or “who cares?” posts that always occur in threads like that. Not really sure it would get used a lot tho. ---
