"Keep the monkey around because it amuses us" is a more sympathetic argument, but understandably it's not one that holds much appeal for anyone responsible for shoveling the monkey's feces.
Yes yes yes, i'm no ignorant, AN. I understand that the socks create headaches for our mods, and that they have very thankless jobs. But the murder of opebo had long-lasting repercussions where a lot of us want to be big rabble-rousers in FC, for lack of a better term.
That's not quite what I meant, HD. My reaction is less a matter of glee over the banning of another Kyle Mercado sock than it is of relief that "Napoleon" never existed, except as a performance put on at our expense.
I just wish more people would understand. When you say "I didn't like Hamilton but Napoleon was my friend," it just sounds that person isn't all there.
Napoleon as the person most people "knew" never existed, so I can't believe there are people who keep saying we should keep this persona around because he was nice to them. For those of us who Kyle's Napoleon did not like, we know he hasn't changed.
It's a little odd seeing people in this thread talking about Hamilton like he's some sort of carefree teenager who went joyriding and spent time in juvie. What he did went far beyond youthful indiscretion and it is very unlikely that he is capable of changing.
