You should be happy for him, he got what he wanted.  Hopefully the bigger troll will get what he wants too.

Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

Anyone that "mourns" him and at the same time reported him at any point in the past is a douchebag of the highest order.

I don't think I ever reported him, and even if I did it's irrelevant because I became a changed person through the power of Christ during his first banning and quite reporting people out of spite and started lobbying for the unbanning of Einzige and Libertas.

Of course you'll say it's irrelevant, you were the one being a douchebag (if you did report him).  You were a douchebag when you were reporting people out of spite and political differences, just like anybody else that does that.  It's good that you've asked Christ for forgiveness and that you've changed, it still doesn't change the fact that you did it.  Just like opebo is still a douchebag for reporting people and then bitching about the reporting system (assuming he still does that).  It's bad to report people out spite/political differences, it's several orders of magnitude worse to do it and then bitch about the system you're abusing.

dead0man look, of course I've sinned. Just as you've sinned. jmfcst has sinned. All the mods have sinned.

Quote from: Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

The difference is that I will not pretend that I am any better than others like you are. I am admitting my sin and my need for redemption. But the one man who never sinned, Jesus, was tortured and suffered on the cross in unjust persecution even worse than the unjust persecution that just occurred today. And through that we can be redeemed. Like that song that they played last Sunday "On Christ this solid rock I stand! All other ground is sinking sand!"

All of those who spit on and mocked jmfcst and actively took part in his persecution will one day have to stand before God in full knowledge of this, it is good for them that God is far more merciful and forgiving than they are.

But I am better than you, at least on this topic.  I've never reported him or anybody.  I'm no narc.

The fact that you are even comparing the two doesn't shine a good light on your faith, but whatever.

As I said, I never spat on or mocked him (by reporting his posts).  My conscious is very clean on the subject.

He asked me to forward this:

To my friends, which all of you are...

Goodbyes are never easy, and I haven't had to say goodbye very often in my life.  But goodbyes are inevitable.  And this goodbye hurts.

Sorry for the drama of this messy exit, it's all been rather childish of me, but I really need to move on.  I have asked Nym to do his duty.

Thanks for keeping me company, esp during my stay in Boston,  and keep your chins up.  I will miss you, you're a good group.  But it is simply time for me to go.

Love ya,

For the history books, this was the last infraction that broke the camel's back:

Well I would not infract I suspect, unless in a bad mood, but one little problem is that the question was about kissing, not a request to catalogue the entirety of your portfolio of sex acts, particularly when well, the actors involved are prepubescent. Just a thought. We live in a complex world don't we?

...obviously, there is always at least one Mod in a bad mood.  But, though unsightly, my account was just a kiss, and the poll did have prepuberencent (word?) age categories...so, at the every least, it was a slight case of entrapment.

Now that I am at 98 death points, the calculus has changed and I can't even pass gas...according to my calculations, on May 28th,  8 death points will roll off, taking me potentially down to 90...but then I have to wait until around June 15th for another 16 points to roll off.

Now, seeing that we’re about to enter a long weekend, I probably wont be logged back in until Tuesday, which could allow my total to drop to 90…but the idea that I could survive on an allowance of 10 death points until June 15th is possible, but, however….unlikely.

But..hold on a second...I have put pencil and paper and calculated that if I stay off the following boards until June 15th, I might just survive:

Off Topic
Forum Community
2012 U.S. Presidential Election
The Atlas
Forum Community
U.S. General Discussion
International General Discussion
Off Topic

Which basically means if any of the following events occur in the world between now and June 15th, I’m a goner: war (International General Discussion)…politics (2012 U.S. Presidential Election, U.S. General Discussion)…or more black girls posing for pictures in my living room (Off Topic, Forum Community, The Atlas).

But, I know my oldest daughter is having several of her friends spend the night tonight, so maybe I should just draft my Last Will and Testament and sign off…
