I think a couple of people wielded the warny stick, right after we instituted the policy, but that it didn't get to the Actual Implementation of the warny stick till Caroma had her meltdown. Everybody else just waved it around, like svelte and non-mustachoied Teddy Roosevelts.

See, in my head, Wolfram was warned and then became a good poster, but perhaps it was just in thread warning, like bon bon (which I don't remember at all!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And actually, I think that's why our current system works: People who care enough to be part of the community respond to the in-thread and general waving of the warny stick. At the same time, we have a formal procedure for people who don't get it, or don't want to.
Go team us.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
OK, that was genuinely weird; I saw a bunch of new posts, checked, and saw my name on a post I didn't make and didn't know about. Now, that's what a call a genuine OMGWTF? moment, first thing in the morning.
I think Perkins and I accidentally got warped through some sort of bizzarroland internet ST:TNG-type wormhole, or something....

Nutty, you are on a TEAR today! I have such a visual of this.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Did I ask for Allyson to be warned at some point?
It was a doblerization, Jesse. I think I had my account deactivated (not a flounce, just a break) for a little while.
I think Wolfram asked that I get warned, though I can't remember why.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For stealing all the good hair, which you, totally warrants it.

OK then. But see how well everything's worked out?!

Maybe I wasn't clear about my plan to befriend you, get you drunk, and seal you inside the wall of my castle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not sure that revisiting every fight we've ever had is exactly the right way to go about this.
