I imagine you're referring to Maldo's ban. Which is sad. Especially given the circumstance that several posters have been spreading slanderous rumors about Maldo without having any evidence. That's a shame and it has me very disappointed in the attitudes taken by some in this thread.

Does Maldo posts a lot? Yes. Could he tone that down? Maybe. Is he deserving of a witch hunt based on a rumor, not a fact? Absolutely not.

That's my take.

Anyway. Is the girlfriend feeling better?

There was evidence to suggest some of the claims are true. It's being investigated. I won't say much more at the risk of being slapped by the mods.

Clusterfuck would be a more apt description for what happens here when too many people start posting too many posts in too little time.

One can only hope, Taoju. One could even pray for it to be so, but that would pretty much defeat the purpose of my statement.

I fail to see what's the problem in that. This is a chat thread. Did you expect something other than people posting?

I'm inclined to agree. I'll be honest and say that Maldo annoyed me from time to time, but that boils down to vastly differing views, and I'm sure I've annoyed more than one poster in my time here.

There's a very unfortunate habit of turning dislike into persecution here. Innocent until proven guilty, etc etc. I'm staying neutral on this one until proof comes to light.

The purpose of this thread is quite clear, but it's nice if conversations do not tragically drown in a deluge of greetspam and other forms of white noise. Moderation is the key, so to speak.

Understandable. And I must say I agree with your take on persecution. There are several posters whose styles of posting and the things they say annoy me to no end. But I don't go running to Moderation to get them in trouble. I ignore them or tell them straight that their mannerisms annoy me.

Petty. This all was so petty. I just wanted to say it.

Whatever.
But the pace of TET right now is really good. For once we aren't having 5 different conversations. There are just 2 or 3 right now.
