A Toast to Banned and Disappeared Posters

[jingofever]

Oops! I have no idea why I thought she was banned.

Her account was suspended for a week and she stopped posting after that.

Here's to castanblaidd. We hardly knew ye.

Here's to castanblaidd. We hardly knew ye.

Ha, I never even noticed. Good sleuthing there, barracuda.

Your posts are like a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a steaming pile of crap.

It's true that that's not very welcoming.

[Telexx]

Sepka said she was a "she" several times I recall. I think orz is definitely a bloke.

No, no, no, no way. Sepka was a "he", I'm as positive about that as I am that you're a "he", Mr. Ed -- if he told you that he's a "she", he lied.

He is a weasel. That's what they do.

P.S. The one I really wonder about is orz. I keep getting "she" vibes from her/him, but I'm not sure.

I very much miss the contributions of Attack Ships on Fire.

Yeah, whatever happened to him/her?

[barracuda]

I miss numbers. Always good to have accountants around.

[Sepka]

I'm still around, actually. Just not too active. The place has turned largely to politics (and rather rigid lock-step politics at that) as opposed to the free-ranging discussions of high strangeness that first caught my attention.

Poor Sepka. How alienating it must feel to know that you're the only one here who appreciates Israel and the U.S.' hard work to "exterminate the terrorists"...

Don't worry baby, lots and lots of sand-niggers are being exterminated anyway, even their nasty terrorist babies. Snuggle up to your fuzzy wuzzy and think happy thoughts about how great it will be when they're all dead and the whole world belongs to you and your kind.

moved to GD b/c of cowpoke's complaint.

[Cosmic Cowbell]

Both Alice and Nathan's comments are out of line here, in this thread. A little moderation is in order IMO (but I ain't holding my breath).

I can relate to (and sympathize with) Sepka's observations.

Sorry, I don't have mod powers right now, and even if I did I probably wouldn't do anything.

As per usual.... ... Anything goes right?

Please refrain from personal attacks, and let's try to keep arguments issue-based.

I can't monitor every thread and post, so I ask for your help in maintaining the health of the board. If you see something that you think needs attention, please IM me with the link.

Thanks for your cooperation in helping to generate more light than heat.

Like said, I'm not holding my breath, your cooperation (or lack thereof) notwithstanding Sunny. Grow some will ya...

However with that said, kudos to Nathan for moving his comment.

[Hammer of Los]

Today I am reminded of marvellous posters from the past such as stickdog, JD, and, of course isachar.

I also bitterly regret that Vigilant and Antiaristo no longer post on this board. It is lessened by their absence.

[compared2what?]

Vigilant's voice still rings out in these threads, HoL. Shhh. Just listen. Can you hear it now?

Battily yours.
