Who will be banned first?

[opebo]

It is terribly saddening that some of the few amusing new posters are destined to be banned under the new authoritarian regime.  The new forum sans-freedom of speech is very boring, but I still come because I'm so bored.

Why not try another political board?  It's not like this is the only one out there.  If Dave's policies are that depressing to you?

There's a history here.  I can still enjoy the personalities I like, even if they can't really say anything very openly.

Hj was banned.

Why?

Spamming the forum while threatening the forum's security, with rather intense trolling on the side, I would summarize.

I have no idea what that means.  He posted a lot?  He teased people?  He exercised wit?  

But anyway congratulations on the chilling effect - very effective.

I've never seen a single post of yours reported, while I've seen probably around 40+ of HJ's.  As long as you continue doing what you're doing, I don't see how you could experience a chilling effect.

Well thanks for saying so.  I did have 3 posts reported, I forget what for. 

But you have to remember that since the New Regime I have self edited to a very cautious degree.  I used to call people 'simpleton' more often than not, among other things.  While I only spoke the truth, it would get me disappeared now.

Hey, Opebo, you have the verbal skills to make it clear that you think a poster is an idiot without actually saying so, no? 

Yes, I use these things - '*', you ****** *** ***-******.

[opebo]

Its a hyphen, guys.  It just looks funny because my '***'s are so high up.  Now **** your ****-*****.
