If I were gonna do a Republican gal, I’d opt for Susan Collins. If I can include female DEM politicos, I’d go with Mary Landrieu from Louisiana (yowza). Palin has that schoolmarmish thing going for her. And not in a good way. ---

A lot of the other faculty and staff I worked with then would be shocked if they ever read my internet posts. This is my vent. ---

Damn, I worked 12 hours today, with no internet access, and I come back and find all the good stuff has happened without me, _again_. Would you guys save the meltdowns and board drama for when I can read and keep up? And just to make my place clear, I think **Otto’s** banning was unjustified. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > I totally understand the banning. I used to teach in elementary school. There are times when you need to get control of a classroom. You tell them all to shut the fuck up and the next fucking kid who says a word is going to take a hike down the hall. There’s always one little shit who just _has_ to pipe up and test the teacher. **Otto** was that little shit, and you _always_ have to follow through and make an example of that little shit or they’ll _all_ start doing it. > > A temporary suspension is about right. I bet he’ll shut the fuck up next time. My sympathies are entirely with Ed. Whoa, **Dio**. That’s quite…disappointing coming from you. Well, anyhow, add my name to the list of posters who will not be coming back. Sucks that I just wasted that 15 bucks a few months ago (can that be transferred to a guest account?) ---

Wait, Ed [apologized](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=482772)and the bannings are now only very short suspensions. Please reconsider. Jim ---

I dunno if i’d come back if i was him after reading how many people dislike me. Eh. If I were **Otto** , I’d come back just to spite them. 😃 Disclaimer: I am highly entertained by many of **Otto** ’s posts. I also enjoy reading posts by many of the people who dislike him, so I’m not saying they need to be spited, just that I would want to disappoint people who posted that they didn’t like me.
