So I've been gone for a little over a week and...

[LMNO]

Oh, for Christ's sake.

[AFK]

Aww c'mon everybody.  Can't we just have fun and not think so darn hard about it? 

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Oh, for Christ's sake.

I don't think he drank rice wine. I'm pretty sure it was all grape in Israel...

[AFK]

In either case I bet it went right through him. 

[Iason Ouabache]

Aww c'mon everybody.  Can't we just have fun and not think so darn hard about it? 

NO!!!!   

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

In either case I bet it went right through him. 

Well, it wouldn't have except for that gaping hole on the one side.... dude looked like the Titanic post-iceberg.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Fuck this board.

Later.

[AFK]

In either case I bet it went right through him. 

Well, it wouldn't have except for that gaping hole on the one side.... dude looked like the Titanic post-iceberg.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was going for. 

[Elder Iptuous]

Aw, Rat... that was a pretty good pun you obviated, too.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Aw, Rat... that was a pretty good pun you obviated, too.

I am fail

[AFK]

That's okay.  You just need to enroll in the RWHN Puninary Institute.  Just send me $5000 cash and I will enroll you. 

[Elder Iptuous]

actually i totally misused the word 'obviate'.  WE are fail....  
what is the word for 'to make obvious' then?

[AFK]

Send me $5000 and I'll tell you. 

[Elder Iptuous]

Send me $5000 and I'll tell you. 

Do you accept Z$?

[East Coast Hustle]

1) Everyone stop being paranoid. This (more than likely) isn't about you.

2) ECH, just stop all of the bullshit right now and just ban Nigel and Rat.  It will save us all a lot of time and drama and that's what you want anyways, isn't it?  You've never liked them and want an excuse to drive them away from here. But you can't want to break the "moral code" that has been set up here because you know everyone here will turn on you.  So you are trying to get the other admins on your side to gang up on a few select users that you don't want around.  You can't ban them outright so you have to find a way to make them flounce. Tell me if I'm getting warm with this.

wow. I gotta say, I'm a little surprised that my desire to nudge this place back in the direction I had always intended it to go is being interpreted like this.

I have no interest in "making people flounce" or any other stupid shit like that. I guess I need to make it really clear that this is not part of some personal vendetta, hidden agenda, or anything else like that. I was just trying to air some of my concerns and also let people know that I wouldn't be around very much for the next little while so they could contact me through other means if my official presence here was needed at some point. It seems as though alot of you have some serious emotional investment in an internet message board and while that is understandable, at some point you need to remember that, you know, there's more to your lives than PD.com. This thread was never intended to be directed at any specific posters. Nigel and Rat made some bullshit comments that I took exception to, as I have taken exception to many of their comments recently. In fact, until very recently, Nigel was one of my favorite posters here. I certainly don't want her to leave, I just want her to pull her head out of her ass.

Anyway, you guys keep on building this mountain. I hear the moles underneath it all have some cold beer, so I'll catch y'all later.
