Tim,
A nice bit of fisticuffs is good now and then, it keeps things exciting and people a bit more honest.
So how fast was the thread locked?
Anyone involved who is a frequent commenter I might know? Stirring the pot.
Anyone get banned?
A few years ago I used to get into it with a former member whose name begins with Ja ck.
He just irritated me and I took objection to how I felt he was treating others.
He had two accounts, and the other account was always there backing the first up, kind of funny I thought.
I don't know about
any bans, but there may have been. There was a guy named David who liked to mix it up and was itching for a fight. There was another guy named Selmer who posted a lot of weird stuff. And, yes, Jack was a piece of cake and I'm sure got banned. A few posters have posted under multiple identities, a case of forum schizophrenia. I guess when you have an anonymous forum, anything can happen, but thankfully the moderators have kept things mostly sane. When I joined the forum participants behaved perfectly. Ha Ha!
And of course, a few wackos have joined, which helps me to feel a lot more normal by comparison.
