Nine since 2008, one of which was for a month. And everyone's up in arms about lenience. This zany world we live in.
Oh and I guess there was that self-imposed vacation I took after being told that my not finding TV sitcoms funny meant I obviously only laugh at rape and the Holocaust.

People like Koki and Zylonbane will never "tone it down" or mellow out.
A bit unfair to equate Koki and ZB. ZB is a bag of snark, but he does occasionally have a valid point hidden deep within.
Koki, however, is just a bag of snark.

Personally, I sometimes get a kick out of the zings certain members here deliver. I mean come on, some of them are funny! What I find boring and a tad frustrating are the flame wars that go on for pages between two or more members. Again, sometimes the derailment of a thread can have me roflmao, but when I see those 16 paragraph posts of rage (complete with extensive, multiple quotes) explaining why the other member involved in said posting battle is a total asshat, I just sigh and go to a different thread.
I like the fact that as of a couple years ago, ComChat became a nicer place. In all honesty, I was afraid to post an opinion on any given thread for awhile because I was afraid to get flamed and ridiculed by some of the more acid-tongued members here (just because they could). I also cringed when I saw a new member go down in flames after posting a 'Hello' thread. I'm glad that's changed, even if the niceness may seem a bit forced at times, it's good to know people here are at least trying.
There's bound to be some growing pains and a sorting-out in general here for awhile. But we've shown in the past that we're able to take changes in stride, so why should this time be any different? We're lucky this place is still up & running and that we have mods who give a rat's ass about it and us.

If "Koki did it, so I will too" is going to be the order of the day, we're going to find ourselves with a pretty shit forum pretty quick.
Yes. BA, you're a moderator now, and like it or not you're the public face of the changes going on behind the scenes.
When the hall monitor gets in a pissing match with the class dropout we all lose.

Koki is a trolling moron. I'm a curmudgeon. A subtle but significant distinction.
Dethtoll's just a sentient fibrous scab.

I'm not even sure what that means. Is that better or worse than curmudgeon?

I'm going to file that away for posterity. Thanks
