Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have a question. Has anyone been suspended before?

I thought averagejoe was suspended, but I just checked and he's still active. So the answer is - no one else that I'm aware of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes. Christiandollarstore was suspended. And he even sent an e-mail in reply to the effect of "oh. okay then."

Right - I missed that excitement.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Given the taunting nature of the troll's final post, would it be appropriate to delete the post? It would take away that certain 'nyah-nyah, I got the last word' feeling.

What a twerp. We disagree with each other all the time. Besides, I would hardly call Buffista discussions 'sanitized.'

Now tagless for your comfort.

I always find it amusing that folks pull the "big brother" argument when they get banned from a community. I thought this decision was reached rationally and with a wide consensus. I guess some people feel that free speech comes without the "responsible for what you say" stuff attached.

Our wings are not tired.

Leave it. I prefer that to the This Post has been deleted... which is more glaring. I don't expect to hear anything further.

Thrive to spite them

I'd rather have a Stompy Foot put in an announcement that he was suspended for 2 mths for his behaviour so at least everyone else in the thread has some idea of what happened.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Actually, since he's already violated the terms of his suspension, I'm all for permanently banning him. What do you think?
