No, really, when did Skinner take down the "ok, fun's over" sticky? 'Twas up there for 5 months...

If this is something else that I "missed" last night, my apologies.

3. You mean that
someone who is now banned was responsible for 90% of the sex threads in the Lounge, and now they're gone there's no need for the ban any more?

6. I don't think that's what she meant.
I think she just meant that was one of the things Leading up to it. The Lounge has been...odd LateLy (to say the Least).

4. I got that impression also...
but...if it was taken away because one person was ousted from here, that means the entire forum was barred from 'fun' for months because of that one person's abuse? So, my question is...why wasn't that one person banned earlier when we were told the 'fun's over'?

5. If that is in fact the case, I'm sure that
it had to do with the "it takes two to tango" in that even if it was one poster largely responsible for INITIATING or inciting said "fun", that additional, subsequent posters likely added to it. I know that were this MY board, I'd be torn between banning the original poster and banning all involved. I guess it was better to issue a warning.

Who knows. All I know is that the fun is no longer over.

13. It seems that you're having a problem with your keyboard.
One of the keys must be stuck.

25. Actually, I think there was some kind of shortcut involved.
I tried doing it one one message as well (not last night; a while ago before the eruption), and it seems like it would have been really hard to maintain through many posts. I do think I remember hearing something about how it could be done automatically.

21. Wow ... this place is like a jr high dance
And that isn't a good thing. Most of the folks are decent, but a handful of maroons have nothing better to do than show how "cool" they are by giving the 'chaperones' a hard time then saying "Whatt'd I do?" :sigh:

28. I'd Like to see a cooLing off period...
in cases Like these, instead of outright banning. EspeciaLLy since in one case, the person was not banned for non LiberaL/progessive ideas. The other banned person did go to 'that site which shaLL not be named' and started shit there. (not trying excuse behavior, just a suggestion)

38. You are more correct than you know
I always spot Repukes by their reaction to criticism. They do a character assasination on anyone who is even slightly critical of anything they do.

We have that syndrome here, so be careful if you criticize anyone. There is a pack of wolves ready to rip you a new one for having the audacity to speak up. It's kind of sad, know what I mean? But the MAJORITY here are adults. That's the good news....:hi:

9. Damn - I hated that thing
If fact, when it came time to renew, I delayed it because of that perennial wrist-slap. Just way too Catholic School.
