if I was chained to a chair and forced to listen to 24 hours striaght of ranting - I would FAR prefer Bowser's variety over RL's

Bowser is a stubborn mule with the blinders on, and fixated on the evils of the right, but I can respect that Bowser has, as far as I can remember, never resorted to the level of intense 'hating', 'despising' and character assassination RL has engaged in. EP, when he get's nasty, acts as a mirror for RL's nastiness.

Equating Bowser with RL, is IMHO, really doing Bowser an injustice.

And the bottomline is RL WAS banned. Robert said so. Terms of his return were that he treat posters in a more civil manner and accept Robert's terms. He never did. He just started posting again.

If that's banning, I guess no one need fear being banned. Because it's literally meaningless.

Bowser has a legitimate gripe.

You've received only very few RL rants over the years Tom, others here are tired of wiping the spittle off their faces.

RL can be a productive member of the HZ community when he wants to be but all too often he goes completely nuts.

I realize the L brothers are probably the youngest members of the community and therefore are less mature than the rest, but the HZ needs to have civil standards of discourse - that's what made the HZ the HZ. RL fixates on one aspect of HZ (anti-anomalism) while completely ignoring the other aspect - civility and respect.

So comparing Bowser to RL is apples to oranges.
