    If even for a short time - like 2, maybe 3 years.

    Let's hear it people. I could use the silence around here personally.

    Now, now, apostle. She defines you. Without her, you'd be an empty suit. :itsokay:

    Why do that when running her off would provide more lulz? :shrug:

    Those people are very important to have around :soma:

    Shakespearean scholars tell us the most powerful characters are those who are talked about even when they're not onstage.

    I appreciate the sentiment, but why bother banning her?

    This latest 6 page drama simply highlighted what people have known all along: Margaret can't actually win a debate or settle an argument without being evasive, manipulative, and otherwise acting with a decided lack of character. If she stopped pulling these passive-aggressive stunts that have become her trademark, one might be able to take her seriously.

    Might.

    But that's not ever going to happen.

    Is she infuriating? Oh yeah, definitely. There's very little more frustrating than trying to have a conversation when someone's doing nothing to advance the dialogue, instead playing games to actually marginalize the debate and ineffectively mask indefensible positions.

    No matter how much she pisses you off, it's not like it's a big trick to hang her out to dry. Oh...she'll still plant her flag and thumb her nose at you as her flying monkeys come in chirping their "Hail to the Queen" mantra...but when all is said and done, every reasonable person here knows when she's been put down.

    Add to the fact that, if you ban her, she's going to turn that around as bragging rights to anyone who'll listen:

    I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

    This is WF not Big Blue, we aren't in the business of banning people. If you want to get rid of her, I suggest mobilizing an effort for everyone to use the semicolon in place of the comma for a week straight. That'll drive her to hurl her computer out the window.

    I'm perfectly okay with banning garamet; if; if; we can also ban Fleshy and Faceman in the process.

    And of course, Packard.

    I think there's a huge difference in someone who made one bannable error and a fucktard who got banned seven times finally being told good riddance. :shrug:

    Ban her if she broke a rule that is a bannable offense. I have not seen the signature in question, so I'll trust the mods/admins on that one.

    It's not like getting banned here is a big deal. You can ask to be let back in again.

    No one is getting banned.

    Also, wanting silence on a message board is about as retarded as you can get. :jayzus:

    Nah, they've tried that. But they keep letting him back in so they can say "See? We're not infringing on anyone's right to free speech - look at what we tolerate!"

    Besides, Face's agenda is clear. He wants to turn WF into his own personal ego trip. In so doing, he inadvertently shows the admins where the holes in the system are, and they've been assiduously plugging them.

    So he does serve a purpose.

    Yes, I know. He got here long before you. But you're much more subtle. You'll be giving him some real competition in no time.

    Who is it that's always bitching about people twisting things around?

    Oh...my bad.

    It's you.

    Since you seem to feed off her noise I understand your position.

    If the signature trolling is a bannable offense, I can see a temporary ban. Otherwise her losing her grip on reality is amusing, much like it was with POTN.
