Melin’s banned, Bricker left but is back, PurpleCrackWhore and kellibelli have departed. That’s as far as I got. The “Melin Has Been Banned” thread in the Pit has become an unwieldy tome. So, where are we? Status report, please. Who’s bailed? * * * “Nothing is so firmly believed as what is least known” - Michel Gyquem de Montaigne ---

As far as I know, that’s about it. This whole affair makes me want to take away everyone’s Play-Dough until they learn to play nicely. ---

Don’t forget that Quadell came back, too. Pretty damn satisfactory all around, if you ask me. ---

I can back since she was banned, which is quite ironic, since I left because of the events surrounding her ejection as moderator. _shrug_ Your Quadell ---

Guys, I am emotionally and intellectually exhausted. I can’t think of a single logical, level-headed thing to say that might have _any_ impact, no matter how minute. Christ, now I remember why I hate the Pit so much. This seemed like an appropriate place to put this note. I’m stepping away for awhile. I don’t know how long. We’ll see. Eventually, I’ll return to the chat room, probably in a day or two. I’ll probably come here to lurk a bit by then, too, just to see how everything turned out. Maybe. I know it’s silly to let myself get upset over an MB, but I really liked this place and now I’m feeling kinda betrayed. It’s just not as much fun here as it used to be. I know that some will think of this as a protest. It’s not. I couldn’t give a shit whether I’m missed or not. (God, this is taking me a long time to type…) I guess that’s it. See you. * * * _God is my co-pilot. Blame Him._ ---

Uke, be nice. “Satisfactory all round?” The horror! I for one will not be happy until everyone in the world is a poster on the SDMB. Think of how many fora we could have! When you post a message saying “Who likes Lotte Lenya” you would get a multiple of responses! Heck, we could have a whole forum dedicated to Switzerland cultural issues!

Not to be a pain in the ass, but… (who are you kidding that is exactly why you are doing it) … that should be “who’s left the board” rather than “whose”. (are you happy now anal boy) Yes. Damn the voices in my head. ---

Hey, I’m leaving now and never coming back! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . God that was hard! OK, I’m back. Did you all miss me? No? {{{Hey, DD, of course “no”. Do you think anybody even **knows** you exist? Hell, you kill threads faster than Michael Masterson.}}} Shit, I’m never gonna’ be popular around here. Ah, well. Time to go and find the next cause to cling to and beat my head against the wall over :rolleyes:. Seriously, though, I wish PCW would think about what she’s doing before she actaully gets up and does it. She’s the last person I want to see leave.

Majormd is gone. She will not post to this board anymore with the exception that she will continue to patrol the pit threads and correct any perceived misconceptions. Other than that, if any of you are willing to bet that she will be back prior to Melin being welcomed back, I will cover those bets at 10-1. I would quit, except I have never been a big part of this board. I lurk and learn and occasionally something strikes me as needing my input. Since I have (I think) 150 posts in nearly a year, I don’t think y’all need me much. I will continue to lurk and watch and post occasionally when the mood strikes. * * * “You can be smart or pleasant. For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.” Elwood P. Dowd ---

> [@](#): > > Majormd is gone. She will not post to this board anymore with the exception that she will continue to patrol the pit threads and correct any perceived misconceptions. I haven’t made any comments yet on the whole sorry affair, but now I have to. What the hell is this all about? If you are so irritated over the thing that you feel you can’t post here anymore, please leave completely. Posting exclusively in the pit on one topic only is the surest way I know to destroy your credibility. This is probably one of the lamest things I heard here. Pathetic. ---

Yes, Unclebeer. My thoughts exactly. I think this is my first post in three days. The board just doesn’t seem to interest me that much anymore. ::shudder:: I’m definitely not gone, but I’ll post less. BTW, this has NOTHING to do with the whole Melin thing.

Posting exclusively in the pit on one topic only is the surest way I know to destroy your credibility. This is probably one of the lamest things I heard here. Pathetic. Er, I didn’t make things as clear as they should be. I didn’t mean that Sue was going to be a pit poster from now on, I meant she was going to watch the two pit threads that she has been participating in the last couple of days. When those threads die (and they should start dying quickly) then she will no longer participate on this board at all. And she will only post to those threads if she thinks something has been misrepresented. Sorry for the confusion, it was late when I posted. PUN ---
