Don't forget to include politicians too. And whale-watchers. And the buzzing, stinging spawns of hell we know as bees.

Anyway, what's your point and is it only scientists you have something against or is it also engineers? Because I can fully back you up against engineers; they lack creative ...

Don't forget to include scientists in that bucket. They have their share of intolerance and pushiness too.

I actually think the quote is very profound no matter who said it. The point being that just because you choose a label doesn't make it valid. I think that's a worthy statement to remember no matter who said it.

You're right, I made a typo, it's fixed.

Well I have had three major injuries but I was young enough for all of them that I don't actually remember any of the pain.

1. When I was about 4 years old I was riding my little tricycle next to our house doing pop-a-wheelies. Well one was a little too good and I flipped over. At the same time my ...

I'm now properly chastened.

And smelly.

Is it really necessary to fish-slap banned people?

Actually, mathematically double axes and two-bladed swords are identical in damage. Let's look at the full equation:

For reference later (you can create a matrix in Excel to verify this if you want):
d8 = 1 - 8 = 4.5 average
2d8 = 2 - 16 = 9 average
3d8 = 3 - 24 = 13.5 average
Axe damage = d8/d8 ...

The Arreat Summit has a bunch of very useful information on this, as well as other topics. Check this out:

No, a higher Defense Rating reduces the chance that ...

Fiona,

The technical implications seem reasonable to me, but since I've never run a forum others would be able to support/debunk the reason given better.

But quoting someone's PM isn't generally polite. Maybe if you removed it and just paraphrased the technical reason given instead? It's up to you ...

The only thing that I continue to struggle with is that the justifications for the change is listed as purely administrative; one being that it is easier for a SYM mod to manage and the other that it is better for the database to have shorter threads.

For the first point, no one other than a SYM ...

How are the Buckeyes going to get to the Fiesta Bowl after they lose to Texas in the 2nd week? :D :p

And Shana, what I meant was I returned to the forums after I got home. Most of my posting is only from work but tonight I came back to the forum from my home PC.

And on that note, I am off ...

Sorry, I was going to let it lie, but your last comment made me reply again.

I'm not talking about being banned. This discussion isn't useless or trivial. The ...

Well, this night has been draining with all the reading and whatnot. But I'm glad I came back from home to watch the show.

Btw brilliant arm-chair moderating SYM with the 1500 posts limit idea. I never knew you had it in you. :)

Come on now, we're all at least close to civil at this point. Passive-aggressive comments like this will just bleed back into bashing, thread closures and hurt feelings.

Can't we try to be ...

Chu, what do you do at the end of the track?

Read the new sticky and Buck's final reply in your 3rd thread.

I think that's about all we're going to get.

I am a little disappointed that it was phrased in such a way that it implies you should expect your thread to be deleted (at a minimum) if you have anything critical to say of management.

Why they were demoted is (almost) not the issue. The powers that be could very easily say that it was discussed and they gave Rav/LA their reasons and that they will not be discussing it further. Whether you believe the reasons given or not is a different matter, ultimately this is Buck's site and ...
