The Return of the Queen

[Deputy Nutz]

I give Tank the credit for outing himself. He could have just posted and stayed in the closet. He most likely didn't have the will power to keep his antics controlled under another alias though, which should tell you something about his motives.

Again, it amazing to see how many whiners and babies we have on here that don't want someone posting here because they have the inability to defend themselves or their ideas, or even worse, not have the common sense and ability to use their maturity to simply ignore someone.

I hate when people whine about other posters. It's just plain unfair.

[Deputy Nutz]

It is really mean and uncalled for.

What makes you think people' complaints have anything to do with an inability to defend their ideas, or their inability to ignore a poster?

The simple fact is that the character or personality of this site (and every site) is made by each and every contribution to it. For myself, I don't care if the guy is allowed here or not. However, can you deny that the personality of the board is likely to change if he posts prolifically? When that happens, it will attract some who may not have been active without the change, and it will be less interesting to both new and old members who don't like the changed personality for whatever reason.

Its a lot like your favorite bar. As the patrons change, the character changes. Sometimes it causes you to come more frequently, sometimes it causes you to go somewhere else more than you did before.

What's one more turd in the toilet? Just make Bob Hanssen keep his name. It has a good Republican ring to it.









Edit: My post was better before it had to follow the thoughtful and rational musings of Patler.

He certainly upped the post count. IMO, the overall effect was to make it harder to find the good content. Less is sometimes more.

It is good to see the seasons change, IT IS GOOD TO SEE THE SEASONS CHANGE!!!

We just have to examine this situation see all angles and all sides to the inigma. Tank was banned because he had several accounts, not because he posted personal info, hell he didn't even threaten someone's life. He is just a pain in the ass, but we are not keeping him out because his past infraction is the issue, it is because we don't like him, and that just isn't what our founding father had in mind for this place.

Valid points. I am not excited about it, but I agree with the principle of the matter.

Yes, at times in our lives for some of us it is good to see the seasons change. Others, not so much; so they move to California or Florida where the change is not so pronounced, and some from there move here. That's all it is. Don't blame either those who don't want the change or those who do. Neither is right. Neither is wrong,

I see Nutz is still here trolling. Probably why he wants Tank back.

I thought I understood what it was all about until I read this post. Now I'm not so sure. Didn't the past infractions lead to a lifetime ban? Or did the ban inlcude the possibility of parole? Or is the possibility of parole now being decided by popular debate? If that is what is happening, I suppose I think that parole boards have the prerogative to consider anything and everything when making their decision. Personally I think one more trouble maker here might not be such a bad thing as long as it doesn't get out of control, but then again I understand there are many posters who prioritize discussions staying on topic more than I do.

C'mon. There is nothing nuclear powered about our Zombie Bees.

Parasitic flies turn bees into zombies before wiping them out completely

Zombie Bees don't seem to eat each other though. And they die shortly after infection without needing to be shot/stabbed in the head or otherwise decapitated and dismembered. They don't want brains. They don't go to the mall. What the hell?

I'm really disappointed they didn't include a comment from George Romero. I mean, this would seem to fly in the face of his highly influential theories about zombies.

I think it was a lifetime ban, but for the lifetime of the particular character he was playing at the time. In other personae, I suspect he never left.

But do the zombie bees in California or Florida want the seasons to change? Did you take the time to think of that?
