I am now announcing my own blockade of
Lightning Lord Rule
's (a very nasty guy, and rude!) blockade of the pol subforum. NO posts will be allowed in or out of the forum. All posters that have paid
Lightning Lord Rule
's (ilegal and very stupid!) toll of soybux to transit the forum WILL be turned back. The forum MUST be opened to all! And it will be very soon! Dr. MSW- 1

Can I get some clarification on what constitutes "trolling" in the grown up section? Only one of the posts for which I was infracted would even come close by traditional definition. Sorry, I'm just a little confused. I understand that my post to
Noodleface
was slightly trolling, and that quoting a
Cad
post is strictly against the rules (even though that post was factually 100% true to my life and not made up), but I hardly think a benign joke about taxes and AI is worth an infraction? I'm just trying to contribute content to the community I've been a member of for almost 30 years and I'm suddenly at a loss as it appears I'm no longer welcome? Should I start a poll? Please advise, I want to be helpful.

And I disagree. Tough.

I genuinely apologize if any offense was taken at this post. I hope you understand that I consider you a friend and this was only intended as a playful ribbing. You are a handsome gentleman and I hope your eye heals swiftly.
To Amod
and
Lightning Lord Rule
, I profusely apologize for breaching decorum. It's been some time since I posted in a "grown up" thread and forgot to tuck my sack back before posting. I am deeply embarrassed and humbled, please accept my apology, though I do not expect forgiveness.

@Lanx I am deeply sorry if this irreverent and inappropriate post in the 'grown up' forum caused you any undue stress or offense. I should know better and hope that you can one day find it in your heart to forgive me.
To
Amod
and
Lightning Lord Rule
Again I can only give my heartfelt apologies. I should have known by the (totally understandable fact) that this is now a community where near 30 year members are immediately and permanently banned from the only forum in which they regularly participate without warning, that any post in the 'grown up' forum would be up for increased scrutiny. I AM SORRY. I was wrong. I will do better.

Cad
, noble
Cad
. I hesitate to even address your majesty, but I feel compelled, nay required, to address my abhorrent breach of etiquette. I foolishly thought that perhaps engaging you in genuine, jovial conversation might still be allowable. Clearly it is (rightfully) not. And in the 'grown up' forum no less! How dare I! I am embarrassed and ashamed. Please, do not forgive me, I do not deserve it. All I ask is that you be merciful, though I doubt I deserve that either.To
Amod
and
Lightning Lord Rule
, I beg your mercy. I (again foolishly) thought that perhaps maybe someone whose been a member of the community for nearly 30 years, since he was but a young pre-teen lad, and has served as a moderator multiple times as duly elected by the community, and assisted in the transition of this community to it's current abode from the tumultuous Rerolled collapse (
Cad
can no doubt tell you how instrumental I was in this period as he nobly served as Amod
in the same term) might be due more respect than an immediate permanent ban from his favored subforum with no warning or possibility of return. Obviously I was wrong. I am at your mercy. All I ask is that justice be swift, and that you know that I am truly deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart for attempting to bring "fun" to a community where it clearly no longer (and rightfully so as decreed) welcome.- 1

I was clearly wrong and deserve my punishment. I actually quoted and responded to a
Cad
post. It's unbelievable and unconscionable behavior. I am lucky and blessed by
Lightning Lord Rule
's infinite mercy to even still have an account. I give my undying gratitude to him and the noble Amod
team.- 1

I was merely attempting to contribute to the threads which I am (was) still allowed to contribute to. In my defense, I have been on sabbatical and did not understand the new arbitrary and capricious (yet of course totally justifiable) rules in which severe and permanent punishments are meted out with no warning for minor offenses. I PROMISE TO DO BETTER. I'M SO SORRY

Presumably you're now able to see me posting in Hebrew in the jew thread was also playful mocking, and will be appealing on my behalf too

Most exalted
Cad
, paragon of decorum and unassailable arbiter of propriety, I humbly beseech thee lend thine ear, if only but for a fleeting moment! For though the penitent soul before thee
Mario Speedwagon
hath spoken with admirable contrition, I wouldst offer but a gentle concordance to his lament, that harmony might yet be restored within these hallowed halls. Indeed, what grievous folly it is to mistake mirth for misconduct, and levity for license. Yet who among us, in some unguarded hour, hath not erred thusly? Verily, the line betwixt jest and judgment is oft more feather than steel, and easily crossed by even the most well-meaning of spirits.
To thee, most venerable Amod
and steadfast
Lightning Lord Rule
, I echo not defiance, but understanding. The burden of stewardship is no light yoke, and the preservation of order doth at times demand a severity that may seem, to lesser eyes, untempered. Yet it is precisely because of such diligence that this realm endures!
And still, might there be room, if nothing but a sliver, for measured grace? For one whose years of service stretch long into the annals of this community's memory, whose hands have helped shape its very foundation in times of upheaval and rebirth, as during that most chaotic passage from the ashes of Rerolled collapse? I cast no stones, nor seek to undermine decree, but merely to suggest that mercy, when wisely bestowed, doth not weaken authority, but rather ennoble it! Thus I stand in agreeable witness! Let justice be done, yet if it please thee, let it be tempered, if only but slightly, by the remembrance of past deeds and long-held fellowship. For what is a community, if not the sum of both its laws and its laughter?
I remain, in all due humility, thy obedient and conciliatory servant.
