Well, I would just like to thank the staff of the SDMB and Creative Loafing for making it quite clear that it is the administration that is the problem here and the forum is rotting from the head down. I’m hoping that everything will pull itself around but Ed and Tuba seem to be doing their damnedest to drag the whole durn thing down with them. You just can’t be that arbitrary, capricious and disdainful to your public. We are what are going to generate your revenue. If we get irritated or feel unwelcome, (Especially the newbies) then we will leave. We provide the content. Without us you are left with Tumbleweed Junction. Why is this such a difficult concept?

This happened a while back. He was banned for calling someone a C\*nt in the pit. It was a ruling that seem to come out of nowhere and after much protest and reconsideration, the ban was overturned. He was struck by a lightning bolt if you will. Then the admins relented.

He left this year completely on his own. You can ask him for the details on both.

What brought that on?

**PricciaR!** Long time no snark, buddy. I have a second son, now, and was reading him _Pat the Bunny_, too. Your legacy is now assured. 😃

Forgive him. He has to work with Windows. That kind of thing can turn a man sad and bitter. :mad: I try to ease his pain :eek: by adding absurd :rolleyes: and unnecessary ☹ graphical content :dubious: that obscure ☹ meaning 🆒 and degrade :smack: performance.

It seems 😕 to make him more comfortable. 😃

(He’s an old friedm just saying “hello” in his own inimitable style.)

Me, too. As a board user, I found the post helpful and informative. As a computer weenie, it was even more helpful and informative.
