Alright, Monkey, try this:
The recognition that even posters one initially despises might contribute something of lasting value to the board, coupled with his refusal to give in to temptation by repeatedly declining the mod stick is what speaks volumes of B's character. It's not much different from what you said when you first came back:
Quote: …stop banning people for reasons other than the big 3, allow people to find there feet, the best posters are the ones that take a little time, not everybody here is being themselves some like to play characters and that's fine, a lot of people seem to have issues with it but windsock and guapo are two perfect examples they are always gold, they are playing a part and they do it well…
I take you at your word that you came back after a year to put an end to the more egregious bannings, and, in the end, it's a lot more fun to run someone off the board than to hit them with the stick. But it seems to me that the knives are being whetted for a Jihad the likes of which Steph has only seen in her wettest of dreams. And THAT would make us even more ADT like than we might have been in the past.
I love the newfound level of hate. Hate is good. Hate is GREAT. I've spent the last three weeks systematically destroying Maxi's latest protégée, while still finding time to bash the second coming of Sashamutt and chiding eblab about his latent homosexuality. And I've never felt better about being a poster here. Yet in all that time, I've never once thought about having these people banned. Why would I want to drive away such rich targets as these? Ban them??? Hell no, no matter how egregious their transgressions, even unto committing one of the Big Three. I've got much thicker skin than that and they cry like scared little girls.
As a distinguished Southern writer once put it: When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember you set out to drain the swamp.
Besides, when Princess Littlebrain calls me a Tard, I Know I'm doing something rught.
ok
