Unleashing the Kraken

[gowlerk 2,190]

As I have contemplated the end of this forum it seems like facing the prospect of losing a large partly dysfunctional family all in one fell swoop. Of course it has been slowly dying anyway but some of the participants that are still here are outstanding in many so ways. At this time however I would like to thank the mods for their decision to let pretty much anything go in the dying days. The resultant decline in the quality of the discourse by allowing people of such low ability to think rationally is making it a lot easier for me to prepare myself for the loss. Seriously, it was the right thing to do for other reasons as well. I certainly will miss the chance to interact with some great people in a way that I will probably never be able to replace but at least I will also never have to deal with the crazy nonsense that comes across my screen.

I agree, the mods have done a lot and it’s been good.

Yeah, it was interesting to watch how fast the decline happened.

Absolutely agree across the board. And I thank you personally.

It has made it significantly easier to let go of this place.

I hadn't realized that Q still existed, so there's that.

 

Thanks for your work over the years here Bill, seriously appreciate the effort the greenies put in here.

I've got 5 for being an asshole sometimes, you're welcome to them.

One of mine was honourable. For insulting BillyVance. The other I don't really remember.

I actually never got a warning... I must be a perfect angel 

Either that or too boring to bother

I got a bad one for attacking Billy Vance for being what he was.

I still think I was right for saying it, and it was right to ban me for it as well.

I'd do it again too.

I had 5 for a day but it was vacated, I think because if they're Canadian it's not an insult but I'm not certain.

I don't have any, but some of my acerbic comments went strangely missing.

 

[wmw999 2,439]

For a dime, I'll give anyone who wants one a warning. That way you won't feel left out

You're not inadequate, you're Canadian.

The surprise for me is I was certain I had the winning hand with 4 of a kind and I'm surrounded by straight flushes. Good luck with your new gig and thank you for elevating the game here. Have great holidays.

Banned? Let me count the ways…

posting off topic, posting link without comment X2, “move out of your mom’s basement”, a visual representation of COVID being replaced by Monkey Pox, describing the characteristics of the AR platform, thread drift, “Trump must have cut you real deep”, “ birds of a feather……Moderator bias anyone?

Definitely.  It's not you; you are a lone voice of reason crying out against a biased woke system.  You are the victim here!
