And given that you already know the answer to the question you asked, I'm left to assume the rhetorical is for purposes of what you believe to be sly grave dancing. Nice.

This is just so silly.

Not picking on you bean, just all of these posts re the recent banning.

I've lost track of who is on whose side. And I don't care. Just silly.

If the banned poster wants to come back, I would assume there is a way to do so.

That point is very obvious to many here, hence the bugs in support.

However, all this gnashing of teeth when someone is banned gets tiresome.

If the poster wants to come back, I would assume they can contact the admins.

I just don't get all the wailing about any specific poster, the endless eulogies, the wringing of hands, the heart-rending good-byes...the person is not dead, not gone. It's a damn message board for crying out loud. Get over yourselves.

All the bugs in the world won't bring a banned poster back.

17. Loonix, recently banned had that gif as his avatar

Many DUers are putting the gif in their sig lines to remember Loonix and protest the ban.

He was also a mod at the Bernie Sanders group so many HRC posters have another gif of Loonix's bug getting squashed.
