This will be bad for the community and you know it.

Squirrelloid should be ok. He's tenacious (in the same way that a pit bull prefers not to let go) but pretty much argues the point, not the person. But I'm glad Zeldor took a break from posting and I agree with you and WL about toning it down.

We had an age thread once. I forget but I think the average came out around 30. I was surprised to find out at 50 I wasnt the oldest or even in the top 10.

@Squirrelloid
What I was trying to do was say something nice when I didnt feel like saying something nice, and qualifying it so I didnt feel like a liar. Call it whatever you want.

I apologize for any passive-aggression but I would say it was taught. I used to post only much nicer posts. But such posts got jumped on instantly with name calling and snide remarks. I might admit that some "teaching" occured there. I will now be seeking to restore my old demeaner while I can.

It will be a bit different with Ganfalf banned, but well, maybe you are right that removing users that spoil the experience here is something worth trying.

If only everyone could learn from their mistakes, and adjust their behavior appropriately, then noone would ever have to be banned. We all make mistakes, as human beings, afterall.

Philosophically speaking, it's when we won't admit that we're wrong and refuse to learn from our mistakes, and then try to incorporate those errors into an idealogy and movement, and when those movements then gain momentum, that problems arise (the Nazi party, etc.).

Honeybadger,

Are you getting PMs from *edit* as well? Your posts in this thread look like responses to the crap he is filling my inbox with.

[HoneyBadger]

Yeah, I reported him after I asked him (politely) to no longer contact me, and he persisted. Tim's gonna sort him out.

And Godwin's law is achieved.

Don't give the guy personal info; whatever he is playing at goes beyond a forum grudge.

[HoneyBadger]

Oh I didn't.
