I might add the following equally stern warning, that Should Res Ipsa or Canpakes or Dr. Moore bring vulgarity over from Paradise to this thread or others in Terrestrial then I will edit or delete those also.
Aw f[moderated]!!
:lol: Another rule broken (using Shade's reserved red)-- but on the other hand, maybe Gadiantion The Moderator caught it instantly because he is Just. That. Good. Yes, that's it. I'm going with that. :D (You're never getting away now, dear Gad. The writing is on the wall.)

I literally lived up to my deal with Dr. Shades. I Mormonified my language above to be in compliance with this forum’s rules. And I still get warned! :|

And from what I can tell you've done a stellar job and are one of my favorite posters for a host of reasons. Certain people seem to want assurance that you aren't getting a free pass; so they can now rest assured. I might add the following equally stern warning, that Should Res Ipsa or Canpakes or Dr. Moore bring vulgarity over from Paradise to this thread or others in Terrestrial then I will edit or delete those also.

(up until Shades rips me a new one for this)
If you go down, I go with you.

In other news...

I bow down to both your courage and decisive nature. I thank you profusely from afar. Thank you for making a move here. We were taking on water and you started the pump if only for a couple or three hours to give the ship a fighting chance to right itself.

Technically though, and you know I don't like arguing :roll:, and I would never presume to argue with anyone for days, and certainly not weeks, months or years :roll: , much less would I do so for an entire decade, :lol: , what you are calling a 3 hour ban was once called a suspension.

Totally appropriate given the situation, I'd say. I'd love to see suspensions brought back.

If we both get canned, it's been a pleasure. I thank you from the bottom of my heart or my screen name's grave. Outcome pending.

Order of events: I said quit bringing vulgarity from Paradise to Terrestrial. I specified A-Mike because he was the only one doing it. A-Mike did it more. I edited out the vulgarity from a couple posts. So of course, he posted more vulgarity. So I deleted the next one; the next one; the next one; then I had stuff I had to do, and realized given past history, this could turn into a vulgarity explosion in Terrestrial, so I banned him for a few hours.
Dean Robbers, thanks for your diligent leadership here on campus.

Yep, he stepped up to the plate and swung that bat.

Home run!

I told you guys he was good. I wasn't lyin'. He's very intentional, decisive, even handed, and he doesn't care who he's moderating. Which is exactly what we need. Thank god, I mean the Flying Spaghetti Monster, that he took the initiative and in doing so, gave you all an example of his work.

He's not going to rip you a new one. Your service in all this was a Godsend. Behold, you have been called to the work. Thou art like a prophet in Israel, like unto Abraham or even like unto Isaac. Yes, you shall be Isaac in my little book.

;)

Amen.

Shulem, I like you man. I do not know much about you, but I like the passion you have for those stupid ass papyrus things or facsimile things. I like that you can be a bit disruptive and that you can do so with real content. I like that you laugh.

I nominate you for moderator of the lesser worlds. I voted for a moderator out of respect for Shades and his need for some personal care at the moment. I like your style.

I just ask that if someone quotes a post that was not moderated that you do not then moderate/edit/ban the quoted post and leave the original one to slide through because it was your buddy.

Well, thank you for your kind words but I must conclude that I am not moderator material. But that's not to say I don't have good things to suggests from time to time.

No, it won't be me. Someone else will do it.
Shulem, I would be in favor of having you guest moderate at some point. I think it would be great fun!

Well I can always offer my opinion or two cents. But I'm definitely not the judge type. Maybe I'll be a moderator in the next life but not in this one.

I love a great offer. I am offering a discount for anyone that can slam dunk a Mormon Apologist. You will save more than two cents and get a perfect night's sleep.
