You are not. I would assume I am on there because I swindled my way into being unbanned and then promptly disappeared for 4 years.

You can still spot him though because he's always trying to get scoops from Twitter.

3. Post more?
4. Post less?
5. Feed the trolls?
6. Post political shit in the lounge?
7. Spend time to make a thoughtful post?
8. Disagree with someone respectfully (plowing new ground here)
9. Give the mods shit or give them slack or god forbid, thank them for a thankless job?

Every person mentioned in this thread disappeared for a while. By evidence, they found better things to do with their time. Good for them, bad for us, in most cases. What are each of us doing to make this place the best thing for people to do with their time for at least several minutes of their day?

All I know is that if DaFace is getting fed up, we have a dead canary. He’s done more for this place than 99.9% of other members both on the tech side and more importantly on the people side. We’re running off one of our best members. That is never a good sign.

This is my thumb on the scale.

He wasn't banned. He didn't do anything to draw the ire of people who dogpiled him into oblivion. It was his choice, and his alone. Plenty of longtime posters have left over the years for a multitude of reasons. I know and am still in contact with many of them. I wish they still posted here, but they don't.

Life goes on.

And by the way Phil, if you're reading this - Why the **** would you put 'You are Gay' on my timeline the first day i was friends with you? FFS I know you were busting my balls, but have some GD consideration. I have Aunts and Uncles and cousins and shit. I'm not gay, never have been, never will be. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) But that pissed me off really bad. Call me when you can. I always liked you.

I think we might all already be dead and this is purgatory, or something. I keep feeling my pinches though - so that's encouraging.

basic white rice is really good w/ the broth, I'd say add some chopped parsley. Also I'd do a nice batch of green beans destroyed in bacon. Slow and low - onion, bacon, salt and pepper and a maybe 1/3 teaspoon sugar, maybe less if you're not doing at least 2 cans of beans. I like the french cut for canned. Fresh would be good too. A cap of vegetable oil will help for length stovetop cooking, helps balance the heat so the beans don't become pellets.

By evidence, you are not immune from being run off. None of us are. If we really give a shit about “missing planeteers” maybe we should treat everyone 20% better while they are here.

Big difference between being banned by a couple of egomaniac mods and leaving in a huff because somebody hurt my feels in the Covid thread.

Anyway, this weekend has made me realize that this place has been a net negative on my life for a while now, so I'm gone for at least a little while and maybe forever. So see you all at some point in the future. Bye.

Letting his own posts speak for themselves and considering his one whole post in the Covid thread in that timeframe, I'd say it wasn't just his last interaction or just the single Covid thread..... instead, exactly what he said in his last few posts (the majority of which took place in the Sturgis thread).

The vast majority of people are content with being part of the problem by either injecting political/social bullshit into every conversation or coming up with other complaints, but not so much being part of a solution, which could be as simple as reporting posts instead of some vague complaint in the gripe thread.

And in general, that's fine... mods mod and fix shit.

But, cdcox is exactly right as well. Saying any one of the mods is simply throwing a tantrum is absurd, especially for Daface, who is the most zen person there is around here (also see above: "for a while now").

I'm sure all of the 2020 bullshit played a role in him taking a break, and it's not 100% the board running him off, but to think he woke up with thin skin that morning and nobody around here has anything to do with it is laughable.

In general, I'm a believer in anyone who's here ~daily to take breaks from this place every once in a while.

Budgets have been tight and the mod lounge hasn't been immune to the weak economy... there's still beer Friday though, so that helps morale.
