JWB will take the place of whomever I ban.

You've been warned.
Thank you.

^ Thanks for stepping in, grindy. I hope this will stop the bitter personal attacks that have been springing up recently. To me, OH's post was possibly the most unfair and unwarranted personal attack I've ever read on MB. With a slew of topics from family relationships, personal history and real-life personality, it broke an MB rule with almost every sentence. I'm sure that as a poster Chula is not a saint either, but I never find his insults so offensive, probably because they are usually more generic and so appear to be much more casual. "Get a life" for instance is much easier to shrug off than OH's personally tailored attack.

I have a lot of respect and gratitude for the MB mods, and I imagine that adjudicating in a quarrel between members is the toughest part of the job. That's why it must be a great temptation to turn a blind eye when you see a fight that breaks the rules - but if there are any mods who read some of the recent posts here and let them go by unchallenged, I think they should consider going back to Mod Training School for a refresher course on what modding is about.

Hawk's post was harsh no doubt but it's no different to stuff Chula has directed at other members.

^ OK, I can go with that assessment too - so much depends on which threads you've been following when.

Not a chance.

Yeah, at this point, the return of JWB would be like a breath of fresh air around here.

Over and over again you’ve encouraged others to kill themselves and you go to straight to the extreme like an erratic drunk. After 40 years your wife just rolls no goodbye. That **** doesn’t just happen. Like everyone on here has seen your cantankerousness. Then you’re suddenly Mr. Sunshine again. People want to be free of you and by people I mean your family. But you blackmail them into forced interaction feigning ridiculous health concerns and posting horrible **** on Facebook. Constantly judgmental and maudlin and sentimental and angry and dishing it out but not taking it. There’s volumes of ridicule on here targeted directly at you because you bring it on yourself with your repugnant ways everyone in your personal sphere has rejected.

But other than that you really like him, yeah?

No, I'm only optimistic in comparison to you. Hell, any form of optimism is considered Pollyanna to you.

Either way, great that you can point out facts that have absolutely nothing to do with what I said as if they do.

Isn't there a lake of salt there or something?

Good man grindy! About time someone stepped up. Please don't ban me for the above.

In which case, they both should be warned or banned. Grindy's right: **** has to happen sometime and it can't just be okay because it's by or directed at certain people. Justice for all, not just for most. One rule for all, one rule to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Or something.
