Recent Restrictions

Interesting, I think one of the worst culprits in this entire flame war wasn't even involved in the 1st place...

As Lefty says - I can safely say that my opinion of some of the posters involved has definitely been negatively affected after this whole episode.

Nope... and leaving this alone now.

Even the more skilled internet trolls can slip up at times. An IP comparison search might run across a previous DL, with pricinpal indentified by some means, which used the same (presumably proxy) server. Perhaps a troll who stirred this controversity at another site. One that would not shrink from a frame attempt.

Obviously not... maybe the should spend as much effort in the real lives

Does that mean the dinner party is off?

Looks like Mrs Horse and I might be able to go now - I have to take the MPV to Sydney for some panel beating this weekend

I was wondering what the restriction actually does? I'd think that you are not able to post but are you able to read the posts?

Anyway, I would think that people would be able to relax and cool off, I mean after all it's a board. Most of us will probably never meet each other and thus it's easy to just brush off childish immature comments/threads directed to you?!?!

So long...

It means that you can't post, but can read threads, send PMs and visit the chatroom all you like.

This whole situation got wildly out of hand... saying "just quit it" is of course the logical thing, but it won't do any good I'm afraid.

Jeez I'm glad that all went off when I was sound asleep hugging my Teddy

[notyoueither]

Yes, I believe you are.

**wrings hands** Oh my goodness! Those naughty boys! (Edited to appease Cybershy below.)

What more is there to say?

Jesus H. Christ.

What more is there to say?

no, the question should be "What not to say"
and the answer would be "THAT". (I refer to the first line)

Ming: However, after reviewing EVERY post JM made, I would have to agree with him that he was trying to be a voice of reason at all time. I made a mistake in restricting him.

One day I'll vote for you to be the president of the world. (note: not yet yet! one day pherhaps, but you're on the right way )

You can't view anyones profiles (including your own) or change your profile. You also can't use the search.

[spartak]

Unless you have a DL to use.

(Not that I have)

I thought about that, but my creativity doesn't amaze anyone, let alone MarkG.
