Hey Parolees

[Airhead]

Do you think we can keep it at a civil debate level? When Skuzzy has to edit threads from parolees, answer questions from members who want an ignore feature so they won't have to read the parolees, and generally has to go back to spending a disporportinate amount of time policing the boards, I have to believe he regrets letting the parolees back, and he does reserve the option to undo what he may believe was a mistake.

Personally I don't care if some of you get banned again- indeed, some of you richly deserve to get banned again, and you've been back for less than a week-  I just don't want you taking me down with you.

So try to keep it civil, K?

I don't think Skuzzy plans to ban everyone at once i'd like to think him a fairer man than that. Probably make his life a little easier. But then you'd need to check with him on that.

Never underestimate the power of a Skuzzy Script. "Batch files R us"

Yea seriously if i was Skuzzy i'd just either ban everybody or quit and throw away all forms of communication and move to Siberia and meditate for three years.

Wow i might just do that anyway. Maybe to Hawaii though...

I very much appreciate the O'Club.

There once was a time it had been taken away.  

Adults disguised as children saw to it that the powers that be were SO frustrated with their actions to the point that the O'Club dissapeared one day.

We had no place to talk about movies, our favorite music, post photos of our children, and give opinions about who might win the Final Four...Super Bowl...or even boast about the fact that we had the BEST chili.

Overnight, it all dissapeared.

It took a long time for it to come back.

Please folks, and I include myself....we're simply guests here.

Let's work on being a better guests.

Some of the most hilarious posts ever have led to bannings. The Members Profiled post, so artfully executed by the mysterious LOL! just this past weekend being the latest example.

While abusive language and senseless insults should be curbed at all reasonable cost, I think that it is only fair to pay homage to those who have sacrificed themselves (and in certain cases, their shades accounts) for the benefit of this forum.

Since when has waving a red flag in front of a bull sacrifice?

Yeah, apparently that was when Airhead(the OP), was banned, because thats where his posts end before the new board came online.


Btw, anyone notice that Ripsnort & lazs are "Radioactive Members"?

Sacrifice:    the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim.

An online identity is surrendered for the sake of getting some laughs, so it's a transaction, and thus, a sacrifice...

If the online identity in question was surrendered in the name of a senseless insult, or the posting of an offensive but otherwise irrelevant image, it would be, as you put it 'waving a flag in front of a bull'.

Either way, few members get banned for waving a flag in front of a bull. There is almost always at least some form of attempt at driving home some sort of point. Even if it appears senseless, most who get banned know what they risk when they make that final post. If they are motivated by anything other than the desire to get banned, it is a sacrifice.

It's Skuzzy's PC way of saying "Post potato".

and I looked, and behold, a pale server: and he that sat upon it was Skuzzy, and banning followed with him.
