without naming names... do you ever...?
(nameless mainly so the thread won't be locked)

do you ever miss any ex-DUers who have been banned?

:shrug:

25. passionate bastard
and dangerous to the worst ideas in the best ways. I didn't always agree with him, but damned if I don't wish he'd been able to chill some. He knew it was coming.

30. Haven't used that pic since DU1.
I always figured it was only a matter of time until Skinner put up some Adult Swim avatars but I guess he's completely out of touch with the kids these days.

Not the easiest of lives, as I recall.

A toast to the greenish beverage. :)

28. That's because he was outlawed back in the 19th century.
But he enjoyed five minutes of fame as a rather tacky fad a year ago or so.

Waited all that time to see him get banned, and now I have no one to play with.

24. I think his ghost lingered for a couple of weeks
under a marginally different name. He's been exorcised to though.

23. I won't name names, but I miss a few
I can't recall half the names, and I'd rather name them all or none of them. :cry:

Even the ones who left for petty reasons, we're stronger with them.

Even the ones I disliked, we're stronger with them.

I keep forgetting that too, though I rarely attack people and only have to those who came across as being uncivil toward others (which is still very few because I don't seek vile posts and I obviously avoid the GD forum. :D )
