Not true. But i'm not getting involved in this argument. Exo has made the point clear enough times. No reason to keep going.

That's not exactly fair.

Say for example, a healthy bit of bantering is going on in a thread that she is interested in. She walks in to observe the discussion, and sits quietly in the corner. All of a sudden, Yorkdaddy makes an off-hand comment about MJ and SoulfFlower pulls out a hand grenade, yanks the pin, and throws it into the group of posters.

The grenade explodes, shrapnel flys everywhere, knocking members senseless, and shredding all posts made in the thread hitherto with a bombastic blitzkrieg of paragraphs rife with logical fallacies in an all-out, wall-of-text post.

She then subsequently loses all rational thought and pulls out an M16 and fires away at anyone who opposes her. He hail of hollow-logic bullets did not discriminate. Mods, women, children, the elderly, transgenders (?), no one was safe from her sights. She didn't just de-rail threads, she blockaded the thread from ever progressing, and THAT is why she was banned.

Her behavior was also legitimately disturbing. She made quality posts, but it was like she had split personality disorder where 25% of the time she was cool, but the other 75% of the time she was a schizophrenic. I know of at least one time where she completely and totally contradicted herself outright right in front of me, and she ignored it! That's not the mindset of a contirbuting member, that's not even the mindset of a sane person!

I really don't think you can argue that she didn't consistently break rules enough to warrant a ban, but her sure fire, thread de-railing behavior will not be missed, and as Yorkedaddy said earlier, you can now be free to speak your mind without a wave of vitriol being sent hurtling in your direction.

That's a little over the top, man.

Good, then let that mark the end of it.

Also I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Halo 5, which is partly to blame for the talk of guns and grenades in that post.

Dumb post. There's an ignore feature on here isn't there?

Does he? People tend to get pretty up in arms if they think mods are ignoring things. Now, apparently, the mods are also getting scolded for not ignoring things. It's really a no win situation for them.

As far as Soulflower goes, I used to stick up for her and she still would be on attack mode with me. It's just how she is, especially with mods. I think there's a point where you have to draw the line with people who are hostile all the time. The fact that she also had multiple accounts which she used to post insults in the shoutbox doesn't exactly help her case.
