Trying to get banned for Digital Blackfacing on your first post of the day, eh? Strong work, counsellor.

Sure I can see that. But I think the guys that say that to him genuinely like him so that's why I see it as more of good natured ribbing. But yeah harsh.

I don't think the guys that use Kleenex to address Ken really like our respect him so to me it's used to mock, deride and shut down the conversation.

Like most of this stuff it's open to interpretation.

Seems very apropos to me.


For the record, I'm not crying about it (and you can look it up). I'm trying to figure out why people are using a middle-school level of mockery, right up there with "Obummer", "Shrillary", and the like.


Hey. I am the guy that everyone calls moose fucker. I feel like I am right right person to tell you that you really need to lighten up.

To be fair, we only call you moose fucker because you fuck moose.

That’s sooooo mature, dick cheese.

I actually had some, like, real work to do for the last several hours. Did they really get banned, and for what? Mr. Duffy and I and several others were communing with Lieutenant Dan over on that comportment thread earlier today. Now this?

Funny, I thought you were just a bot that mirrors google news headlines onto the LR.

Why, that's the most complimentary thing said to me yet here in the LR! ;-)

Agreed. Ken's okay by me. Always has been. And he knows me too well. ;-)

Are you fucking kidding me?

Because Katy complained about a "women are from Venus, men are from Mars" joke?

Katy should be banned.

So should Dan, for that matter. Pussy.

I don't believe that the bans were because Katy conplained about the joke.

Read Dans statement about the reasons for the bans. The joke wasn't the reason for them.

Whatever. Not interested in Dan's mealy mouthed explanation, really. He's not generally honest about who's been banned and who isn't, and who does the banning, and why or why not. The whole thing started with Katy flying off the fucking handle about a totally innocuous and even-handed joke. And Dan has had a boner for Duffy forever. Fuck all that noise.

Dan very much looks after the wimmins, and in the unwritten "constitution" for this place there is indeed a right to not be offended if you are female. I'd imagine this is for both personal and business reasons, btw.

Mm, hm.

"She started it" is an excuse that 6 year olds use.

Some of you guys spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about the guy whose house you are living in rent free. This isn't a democracy.

Why don’t you start your forum, announce it here, everyone will follow you over there, where you will moderate with wisdom, freedom and courage. Problem solved!

Unless you deleted some posts there didn’t appear to be anything of particular malice in that thread that warranted banning.

i don't believe i said that that thread is the cause of any actions i might have taken. in fact i think i said the opposite. there's been an accumulation of uncivil speech and behavior and i'm not going to host it any longer. nothing more complicated than that. i fully appreciate the freedom some folks want to have to write whatever they want. i am inviting them to write it elsewhere. i am showing them the door, graciously i hope, but the door nevertheless. i'm happy to leave a forwarding address. if anyone wants to go wherever it is that speech migrates to, i'll post that link here, and if we lose half our audience that'll be good for everyone: those who leave and those who don't. i don't know, i can't predict the future, but i suspect others might fill that open space if they feel they can post here without someone going out of his way to hurl an insult. i'm fine with whatever the outcome.
