He was banned for threats of physical violence.

What is sorry about that? You're sorry if you think Ben's presence was a good thing.

Ban him just because people don't agree with what he thinks?
That is not right.

Is this an accidental admission that DFG is a Sloww DL? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that turned out to be the case, but it's probably the same old illiteracy we've come to expect from Sloww.

Go play with your toys.

I was here first.

You guys are really a sorry bunch. Celebrating over a person getting banned.

Then why argue with him? Why not recognize and acknowledge that it's just healthy for him to rant? You think that I don't get tired of Drake, DaShi and Mobius?
Believe me, I do. But...freedom of speech and all that. It's one of the protections over which I served in the military. I might not like it, but they have the right.

[Docfeelgood]

I propose that DFG be banned from using the lol smilie. Or any other smilie.

I PROPOSE? what? is this a ****ing committee now?

[Docfeelgood]

I completely support this.

Do you want my job?

If you don't get paid, it's not a job.

"MrFun" is breaking rule #4 - clearly the current "MrFun" is an imposter http://apolyton.net/showthread.php/101506

Because I know everyone was just waiting to hear my opinion...

BK's threat to Loin didn't strike me as remotely credible. However, it was definitely repeated several times, and BK was already on thin ice for harassment of gays IIUC. The stupid sexual shock-thread copycat might technically merit a warning, but it's better IMO to do what all of us were doing, namely ignoring it and letting it sink like a big, tasteless rock. Making a fuss about it will only reward and give new life to a lame troll that was otherwise dying an ignominious death. It certainly doesn't merit a six-month ban all by itself.

I admit I'm biased here, since I believe BK's behavior was the #1 reason for hostility to Christians on this site (such as the vulgar thread in question).

Do you want my job?
