WTF? Otto was just banned by Ed.

[What_Exit]

Well apparently people are showing different means of their displeasure. Some are here bitching or asking for Ed to reconsider his action. Some are saying goodbye, which is sad and bad for the dope.

Then a few are taking it to the next level.

Ed, I understand you’re angry and I don’t blame you for that. You take a lot of shit and so do people for whom you seem to have sincere affection. But you should have stepped away from the keyboard. What you did was capricious and inappropriate in this consumer’s eyes. You’ve just made it clear that this is nothing but your vanity site but with ever diminishing charm. You screwed up.

About the only thing I know about Otto is his user name is a palindrome. However…

I’m [del]Spartacus[/del] Otto.
…and so’s my wife! <grin> Bye!

There is a white font message at the bottom, highlight to read.

UPS brought it by today.

I refused to sign. Sent it back to Amazon.com.

Timing, folks.

This would be a really good time for **Ed **to reconsider his decision.
