Popular doesn't equal breaking news. It's an editorial. If you can't figure out the difference, educate yourself and try to do better next time. YOU turned it into a problem by 1] misposting, 2] acting snide when it was brought to your attention, and 3] failing to admit your mistake. Don't get mad at the adults just because they're trying to keep this site out of the toilet (and out of the control of the not-so-bright).

Rubbish. If you wanted to handle this in a mature way, you would have messaged me privately. Rather, by posting this in public, you showed that you merely were hoping to provoke an argument. By doing so, you knew precisely that people would argue right back at you - and you did in such a superior, insufferable tone that it was demanding a response. This hardly marks you out as the guardian of the site's values and mores - a role which was not assigned to you anyway.

And you have the gall to claim to be the "adult". A genuine adult knows when to be discreet, when to fight, and when to remain silent. As I understand you have been banned from here before, I suppose you have difficulty with the last point.

My friend, everyone with a brain has been banned from here before. Haven't you been paying attention? It is one of the ways we measure who is thinking for themselves and who is part of a herd of mindless cheerleaders. To have lasted, what, four years without being banned is not something to be self-satisfied about.

And for the record, I am using my original handle, the one I first signed up with.

I guess you have to be a Web designer or programmer or something to understand the value of keeping a site well organized.
