Damn. I go on holiday (very nice, thanx), and they throw out DM. And bk's been shut up too?
I'm only back for about a week, then I'm going back to the UK for a while, to see relatives and friends and to extend the visa so I can stay in the US.
WHO are they gonna ban while I'm away next time?
Nominations, please.
Be sure to include anyone who ever adds to a thread something that diverts it from it's topic (let's see, arguing over the definition of liberfukintarianism in a thread about banning someone for instance), descends into insults (

), "skirts" the rules, or uses sarcasm.
Seriously, DM could at times be annoying, swollen-headed, repetitive, insensitive, and just plain wrong. I was surprized when he reappeared a coupla months back that he wasn't thrown out almost immediately, since he came in swinging, and wasn't even always funny with it.
But after that he reverted to his normal acerbic, sarcastic, clever, funny self. And he made a damn good try to get the various god-threads sorted rationally for a serious attempt at 'em. I don't know what happened in the last coupla weeks, but frankly Andy the examples you've given are nonsense.
DM, respect to ya.
And if you see an old fat curly loud-mouthed atheist in a pub somewhere in the next coupla weeks, talking cobras, buy him a pint. It just might be me.
Incidentally, I'm not gonna change the avi -the cobra won't let me.
