Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Just trying to follow the technical details:

  • he's now listed as a user, but not active, under all those names?
  • if he tries to get in, the password won't work, because ita changed it on him?
  • if he tries to register with yet another email address, he'll be rejected because it's not unique?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

We cannot invite the poster to reregister, precisely, since an attempt with a duplicate e-mail address will fail.

Good point. But isn't that what we did with "Tim Minaer"?

How about,

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I think he's saying, "I'm lonely! Just slash me with somebody and I'll go away."

I'm getting the pig!

Consuela - If I still felt odd earlier today, I would not after reading some of the discussion that has gone on in this thread.
The mere fact that so many posts have gone into a decision on whether to suspend a poster or not endears me to you all. It is rare and refreshing to see a community with such a conscience! I applaud you all for being so human!!

ETA - I'm post #2002 - does that mean I'm over?

"I'm lonely! Just slash me with somebody and I'll go away."

I think there was a phrase some time back, which said "Do not annoy the Buffistas, for you are an easy target for being slashed." Or more poetic words to that effect. mieskie/Dark!Willow? Short but amusing.

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

Okay. E-mail sent to both addresses.

Nothing was done with Tim Minaer -- it was a bogus e-mail address to start off with, so it was never validated.

Right now mieskie and mmmieskie were validated, have been deactivated. mieskie/ and /mieskie were never validated, and the password reset so the validation e-mail will no longer work. And e-mail sent.

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

I'm a core Buffista? How'd that happen?

I'm caught up, and WOW are you guys polite. There's a time and place to go TWoP on people. This now be the time and place. He's done. He's gone, he's toast.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Yeah. This is just yanking people's chains at this point. Why would you let him post when you know he's the guy who you just told he wasn't allowed to post for two months?
