## Yes I did. But since you seem not to have checked the thread since then, I’ll do a copy and paste… quote: ## Originally posted by Michael Ellis THEA, PLEASE MARRY ME!!

Hi. I’m **d\_redguy** , and I know **Thaidog** IRL. **Hi, d\_redguy!!** OK. Anywho, I never posted to one of his threads. I didn’t want to take away from the mystery by telling you that **Thaidog** is actually quite sedate and normal IRL. I haven’t really talked to him in quite some time. Several months, in fact. We work on opposite 3rd shift schedules. I in no way take any responsibility (or credit) for anything he may have posted here. I winced when he used the dreaded “f” word in his last thread, having a feeling that that could be his last hurrah. I’m not really embarrased though. I thought he was funny as hell, by and large. Let’s see, what else…I dunno. I know he got **esprix’s** ass up because of the “f”. And I understand that. That word sits right next to the illustrious “n”. I’ve read those threads, I don’t think **Thaidog** has. I imagine you’re reading this **Thai** , and if you are, do search around for some of **esprix’s** (and other’s) threads on the subject. Then maybe if you want to come back, do this: Compose a nice, serious letter to both **esprix** and the mods. I certainly won’t speak for them whether that is enough to let you back in. They quite possibly won’t. (Oh, and **esprix** you vanity-searching monster ;): a. Man do I love busting you for vanity-searching! 😛 b. _IF_ you actually get an email of this variety, look at it with forgiveness in your heart. We miss the burning dogs!) At any rate, I for one welcome our new dog-burning masters. Peace out. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zenster \* > \*\*You are not allowed to be this funny. Decease and exist. \*\* OK, I’ll slip back into lurker’s row in a second. But I wanted to give you all an update. Having seen my post, **Thaidog** called me a few hours ago. We talked about a great many things. Regrets, successes, simple pleasures, etc. I won’t get into any of the details here. However, there is one thing that I feel I can share openly, and that he did make _very_ clear: He really does fucking hate those “rocks in a box”.😃 ---

I’m imagining the thread title being shouted at a really weird protest before the White House. “You banned **Thaidog!** Now I burning **your dog!** The people! United! Shall never be divided! The people! United! Shall never be divided!” “ROCK IN THE BOOOOOOOOX!” ---

I have no sway over who stays, goes, or returns. The only thing he would _need_ to do to get back would be to contact the Mods/Admins (although I _personally_ think he would have zero chance of being let back). Now, he might _consider_ an apology to _the entire board_ for his comments should he be able to return, but that would be up to him. Why you would single me out in this instance I don’t understand.

I would agree with you that an apology to the entire board would be in order, but a reinstatement would have to occur in order for that to happen in the first place. An email to you could help in that venture. Healthy communications with you, who was in that thread. And clearly offended. As a SDMB veteran, I have little doubt that if so inclined, you might have the opportunity to lubricate the gears of reinstatement for everyone’s favorite Southeast Asian canine torcher. Anyway, that’s why. No persecution intended.🙂 ---

As a SDMB veteran, I have little doubt that if so inclined, you might have the opportunity to lubricate the gears of reinstatement for everyone’s favorite Southeast Asian canine torcher. 😕 Where are you getting this? I hold absolutely no sway whatsoever with the administration of this board to influence having someone banned or unbanned, other than the same power we all have - that little “Report this post to a Moderator” link. (Trust me, if I did have any power, things would change around here! 😃 ) Neither **Lynn** nor anyone else ever asks me for advice, and I don’t offer it, 'cause it’s not my business. (Basically, there is no Clique[sup]TM[/sup].) Also, it looks like a lot of people were offended by his remarks, not just me, so, again, I’m not sure why you noticed me and no one else, and that’s why I said (IMHO only) that he ought to consider a board-wide apology for that reason. Besides, personally, I barely noticed him at all - I just wanted to help stomp out a little ignorance on his part.
