It is unfortunate because we already did a mass unbanning, and many of the same old assholes couldn't keep themselves from doing the same old thing. Contrary to the belief in wingnut land I do not enjoy banning people. I don't want to even spend that much time on them. There is enough contention (for me) between the people who are here- I certainly don't want to moderate interparty spats. The old AMD thread epitomizes, for me, what happens when you get the 2 sides together- endless drivel and endless stupid insults. So boring. Who'd sign up to moderate that shit? I don't even want to read it.

So I have tried to rewrite all the bans for specificity- even though it was always very very very clear who should post here, and the people who came over here were doing some weird "raid" on another thread, so they could brag to their friends that they posted on a thread, with adults, who didn't want to talk to them, and THEY DID IT. Wooo hoo. They win the Very Idiotic Person award. So special.

It's a shame that SI management knuckled under to the demands of these people.
It wouldn't be so bad if they made this a rule going forward, but no, in order to satisfy
these pinheads they had to make it retroactive.
"i thimk SI management is tilted to the right just a hair."
