Overall and looking back at the tale that was over 20 seasons and 7 years in the making and the crux of the Forum Community for a long time, is Update a FS or HS?

Update with a 69% approval rating!

Isn't it funny how some people/things become so much more popular after they've died?

I don't know which group of posters is worse at this point- those pining for a child rapist in Southeast Asia or those who live to egg on the self-destructive behavior of another poster.

It's a forum institution. And certainly much better than anything the naysayers have contributed to this place.

It really was. And not just from Bushie. The input from other posters and the whole interaction was an integral part of the groundbreaking narrative. Unfortunately, the people in charge here are deeply uncomfortable with that. It was clear almost from the outset that the true believers in bootstrapism simply could not handle the Update's powerful argument. To say nothing of the Atlas Forum is Serious Business crowd. So, every day, this place looks more and more like PoliticalForum.com. In that case, why bother? That's not a world I'd want to live in.

I never read it. I didn't need to read the story of an overweight depressive. I live that story every day, so what was the point? I'm neither depressed not happy that it's done. It just is and now the forum moves on.

Didn't Bushie effectively leave? 

I thought it was only temporary?

And I just found out I was banned from the Political Forum. I didn't do anything bannable except that I was also a member at this forum. Does that mean no one here is allowed to ever join that other forum? Shouldn't we ban PFAdmin?

I am sure that if you asked PFAdmin, he would be happy to reinstate you. His comments here were that it was all unfortunate, and no hard feelings, and he wished there were another way, and tried to join here to discuss it first, but screwed up his signup, and he felt you could not wait any longer to defend against the perceived attack. No, we shouldn't be banning PFAdmin, as I am sure that you will agree Dukey when and if you read his comments. I was not banned from the site btw, although I never posted either.

You keep making that assertion, but never explain why you believe that.

He appears at the same time the bizarre pornbots do.  I don't have the ip checking methods available that you do but I'm no fan of coincidence.

I can request I be reinstated, but I wasn't sure why I was banned in the first place unless they just blanket banned anyone from Atlas who joined. They gave no reason for my banning.

Better, more revealing, and more entertaining than many of the reactions to it, I'll say that!

It provided commentary on how 1) enablement works, but also 2) how people expect a lot for doing very little, or at least for sacrificing little. You know, in "middle America" people want great schools, great health care, great roads, etc., but by God, they don't want to pay (i.e., do the work) for it!

The just banned everyone who signed up and poster on the theory that they are part of the troll conspiracy. He be delighted to have you join, assuming you are not there to discuss Bushie's personal life.

That is all you have - coincidence in time. Such things happen. There is no belief in the cave whatsoever by anyone that he has anything to do with the attack here. As Morden said, it seems to be one of our former banned. I think he named a prime suspect.
