FWIW, I won't be posting vicariously for Duffy. But, I will provide updates on how he is holding up, what with having to carry Trump's balls in his mouth all the time.

Just look in the giant crank length thread. Franks comments are being made under daves profile.

What I'm unclear on is if Dave himself is posting them or not, based on some of the comments Dave (as himself) has made in that same thread.

Who did that? And you know that how?

Honestly, not that I'm slamming you or whoever else for doing so, but I figured you were the one who alerted Dan to the thread.

that's not what i said. i wrote that katy did not contact me. yes, i did get contacted about that thread. and i read it all. and there wasn't anything in that thread that was any more insulting than what i've read here a thousand times before. but i guess you could say i just finally hit that point. i just got tired of misogyny for misogyny's sake. of insults for insults sake.



i wrote it here post 51. and it's not the only place.



i'm not going to parse every element of a possible post to try to come up with a standard for civility that justice potter stewart couldn't define for obscenity. just, i could point you to a hundred posts, two hundred, where i pled for civility. some folks here just laughed and scoffed at that and okay. i took some action based on my best available wisdom and maybe it was entirely fair, maybe it was partially fair, maybe it was ill-advised. is what i did irrevocable? i don't know. but not a single person i banned has come back to me and said, hey, maybe i've been impolitic. can we try this again?



yeah, i think that's probably fair.



i can't say that i disagree with your view.

i was alerted to that thread by multiple people, none of whom were klehner or katy. i'm not going to go down the list of "clearing" various potential perps. which really would not solve whatever it is anybody might want to solve by the exercise.

I'm pretty sure I've met Katy before. If she's the one that's friends with Ironclm, then I am not surprised in the least at her reaction in that thread.

Its hard to understand why there is so little clarity on whether someone has been banned and why they have been banned.

lighten up Francis, I'm not asking you to. I wrote that to Ken, and figured if he cared to, he would respond...that's all.

Or as we say, you can lead a horse to water and sometimes you just have to shoot it

Nobody needs to worry about Duffy. He'll be busy eating fish tacos, surfing, kicking' dudes asses in the BJJ gym, and generally gettin' laid or fighting off the multitude of dudes and ladies who want to lay him. He's the greatest,...just ask him.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Referring to Windy or Duffy - or other banned former STer? Calling someone an asshole after they’re no longer here to defend themselves says a lot more about you than them.

thank you.

i was thinking a similar thought while reading dan's reply of how duffy is, probably, doing. imo he seems to be mocking him, which i believe can be taken as a personal attack. an attack on someone who is unable to defend their position. it's that ban-worth? or hypocritical? or both???

Dan didn't write that. I did. Slowman vs slowguy.

then i stand corrected and apologize.
sorry

To quote the not-so-immortal Rodney King: Cant't we all just get along?

And thank you for your patience with us. There are some very strong personalities here, naturally. And the place sometimes resembles a monkey shite fight at the zoo, but the perspectives of everyone here helps add to the conversation, I feel. As proprietor, you may or may not have some legal liability for what goes on in this particular hell hole, and I think we all understand that.

Personally, I like Mr. Duffy and Mr. Windywave, just as I like all of my internet friends that inhabit the left side of the aisle here. I hope one day soon those two gentlemen will be back in here, slugging it out and otherwise being memorable. :-)

you are nevertheless correct. that's another tradition around here. no ragging on someone who's not able to defend him/herself.

Uh huh. Must be one of those brand new traditions.
