I don't know about fish.

My only problem with AS is that the same whiney message gets posted, over and over and over.....even with a few changes here and there, it gives me a headache to read. You could implement some restrictions for AS...for the first week the following must not be included in any post:

Bush
Liar
NRA
Gay

Which of course would eliminate 99% of AS's posts!

Unban everybody.

Re-ban them if things get out of control.
Then unban them at a later date.

Sort of like a timeout for 5 year olds.

I agree with Bill.

Unban AS and fishwhacked.....you can always reban if thread hygiene requires it....I do think you should limit AS to a certain number of posts per day....there's only so much stupidity like his you can handle at one time....

Yellowfish needs to unban his thread, although his thread is dead. Tell AS that she can't repost the same crap over and over again. I mean how many times do we have to hear about the homo crime gang in the white House

Awww geez....Just tell 'em it was me. I don't want to impose my views on anyone but I just see bans as a tool of the weak. I say let people post at will and if they say something stupid just eat them for lunch. Personally I don't feel the need for a moderated thread to use for safety. If others don't agree and would prefer that this board use bans to restrict PITA people thats fine. I understand that people get tiring after a while. I just think in most cases the PITA crowd is kind of a fun distraction. I like that Ionesco AKA ImAPainInTheAssCo can come over and post stupid things on this thread. Why ban the producers of the next generation of imbeciles? After all, if we don't convert them here their offspring will probably grow up to be the next consumers of all the special needs money.



This is Bob Barker saying thanks for watching the Price is right - And remember folks, stop the spread of SPED money ....have todays morons spayed or neutered.
