Are you the only one who doesn't get that 99% of my posts aren't serious?

Sorry Bama but it is obvious when someone is angry.

Despite the fact that I have come close to losing my Berggeistian poise with Rick and despite the fact that his unetiquette almost demands that he be banned, he is the most formidable foe on the left whom I have encountered.  He makes me work harder than any other liberal poster on any forum.  That I respect in Rick; however, the decision of admin is final and is not to be second guessed.

That is indeed the issue...  He has talent, but can't seem to hold it together long term...

How about if I put my account up as collateral?

You are too overleveraged...

I voted to let him stay... I enjoy reading the back and forth.. I learn alot from that kind of discussion.... IMO the mods are good at staying on top of things before anything can get out of hand...

^-^ :)) ^-^ :))

I like Rick too, but I voted no because we banned him once.  We don't want to have an LNF type policy.

I will say that if you let him back in, people like me will definitely take notice.
Then if you have to ban him again, it will be a talking point forever and a day.
Still, you only live once and what is the point of not taking risks? If you risk nothing,
you gain nothing, unless you are a crony corporatist/predatory capitalist/Wall Street banker.
Do you want to be known as the forum who was afraid of the likes of our Rick?  Really?

You have to convince the forum, not me...   I'd like him here...

Oh dammit...  I didn't think about that...

Slip me a 20, Bam Bam. I'll change my vote.

So you admit letting him in is a risk? Which affirms my original decision to ban him.

Disrupting a forum, trying to convince people that you are smarter than they are, when we've all seen the same old tired circus act over and over again, is nothing but slight of hand when crafting sentences....

I highly doubt anyone fears him, loathes? Absolutely, but fears? Hardly.

Not too bad beau...

Harry wants a twenty, Bert just wants a poem.
taxed wants a place with walls and floors that he can call his home.
Solar has a forum, Ricky wants to join.
Berggeist calls them fora, amidst the words he'll coin.

Can't we all just post together?
Can't we all talk, laugh and sing?
Though birds of varied feather
Get along like Rodney King?

Or must we ban and must we hate?
Must we never see the day
When we join our voices all as one
And tell kwiller "It's okay."

So Solar with your forum, and Ricky with your smarts
Put old grudges to the side and think now with your hearts.
Give yourselves another chance and the mods something to do
So the rest of us can all sit back and watch carnage ensue.

I could use you in my creative writing class.

That's littering.

No, that's GRATIFYING.   ;D

We realized it before you did. Including that 1%.
