Missing poster formation; the lost please check in

Recommended Posts

One of PA's last posts was about the closing of a popular thread, and he questioned the boards moderation. Maybe he was frustrated after being temporarily banned for a post in a thread we were told would not be moderated, when others had certainly said worse, before and after. He was also suspended for posting something 'bigoted' by a mod who often posts things that many would perceive as being bigoted. If I'm not mistaken, he has also been accused of driving away other posters. I wouldn't blame him if he left, but the board is worse off without his humor and contrarian points of view.

Seemed as though PA would sometimes take things to heart around here.

 

I never accepted - much less understood - the notion that he was somehow a net negative for the board. And I say that as someone who, on more than a few occasions, muttered epithets at him as I typed a reply to some provocation he seemed to have blithely planted in my path.

 

Once again: That short story about Lindy, game 1 of the 2006 ECF, the Cup, the orderly, and the ring.

Anyone who creates and shares that on a message board is on my message board team for life.

Dear god. This place is going to be a treat when we finally get April/May hockey back. 

 

I'm craving it right now.

 

"He used to draw them, make them criss-cross, urge them to join. His palette was a chalk board, and he had a captive audience. But now he creates only in his mind, and no one pays the least bit attention."

 

Even sad old Lindy understands puck support better than Disco! :P

Lolz. If we suspended pa every time he questioned a mod he'd have 12 total posts in the last 10 years.

P.A. is that you ?

 

But seriously I too have enjoyed his view of things. It would be a dull life if everyone sat on the same side of the fence on every issue.

Wowsa.  Left for a couple weeks (months?) and came back to a whole lot of 'whoa'.  

 

Between my job, twin boys (almost a year), and life, (and of course the Sabres being absolutely infuriating), I've had a hard time fitting this place into my schedule.  

 

I might come back when I have time.  Probably will just lurk from time to time.

Probably about the time the twins leave for college.  :P
