Banned for not mega-scoffing that clip-on tie crap. Ties on a collar with no shirt attached can look swell. Clip-ons just say "I hate ties but am too chicken-shit to go without one."
Philocthetes
Banned because these number bans are boring now. I'd rather hear more about ties, and I hate ties. Nice men's hats, on the other hand, can work with casual or formal ensembles and don't leave one feeling strangled.
Bitch, please. Banned upside yo' haid.
Banned for lapsing back into fragments. Gawds above, below, and sideways, why is the sentence so damned unpopular these days?
Banned because timing is nearly impossible when communicating asynchronously.
Banned for perpetuating abuse of the venerable adjective "epic." It applies to historical moments, poems, novels, and perhaps odd things like a cycle of plays or operas. No clothing ensemble or Hollywood franchise can be epic because they are fundamentally ephemeral things.
Banned to a limit approaching infinity. Also banned for lacking fashion sense and/or colloquial English vocab. That hood is so five centuries ago.
Banned to the nines.
Banned six ways from Sunday.
Banned for not taking me at my word. I'm smiling now, too, but with a bit of a quirked eyebrow to indicate curiosity about whether you were casting alcoholic aspersions against one or more of us around here.
Banned for making me smile while typing here.
Banned because the evil-power-lord mythos associated with your avatar depends on standards, and I'm just trying to do my duty by upholding standards like basic fact knowledge and the old-school notion of a proper formal essay.
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="38127" id="3022501"]banned for I agree. Not really sure what the hang up is on Smileys. Pretty entertaining I think. ...[/quote] Banned because I'm multi-tasking while grading essays and I have no idea with what you are agreeing. I (semi-recreationally) called third-party sourced smilies "clutter" but it looks like you think they're just plain fun. Semi-seriously, I still think a real s
Banned because there are worlds worth of difference between a real smile and third-party graphics clutter on a bandwidth-conservative forum.
Banned because none of the Silly Sinners banned you for typing CGII instead of GCII, and let you get away with a grammar nanny ban in the meantime. Also banned for not sharing the list of emoticon domains. Blocking emoticoner.com now...
Banned because you clearly understand too much to actually be serious about your military conspiracy theory stuff. Being able to thoughtfully distinguish officers from NCOs while considering gender politics means you can appreciate the fact that either group can gain status via corruption or honorable service. If you don't grok that yet, it's just a matter of time until you've read enough true and/or fictional stories about military orgs. p.s. Janeway was definitly
Banned for slavish devotion to fictional alpha males.
Banned for escalating downers.
Banned because no one seems to have the 'nads to do some ban-bitching about this so-called retroactive continuity shyte. My Public Enemy Number One is J.J. Abrams, on account of his 'new' Star Trek flick having a disaster-movie-worthy conflation of good casting and occasionally snappy dialog with a perfectly ridiculous plot based on a pathetically horrific 'revision' of Roddenberryland.
Banned because retconning is my second least-favorite neologism ever, not least because of what has been done to Star Wars and Star Trek stories in "it's" name. Fuck this franchise shit. I want to go back to the days when authors wrote stories from a fascination with their own internal worlds and not with an eye towards cross-marketing plans or the long term value of so-called intellectual property.
Banned for anti-masochism.
Banned for going nuclear.
Banned because, like most of us, you've only seen one small part of schooling in the U.S. @Oatsey: Have standards really fallen that far in the UK? Our empire is still dying and in denial about being an historical infant among nations, but I thought yours managed to cling to civilization even as it let go of naval hegemony?
Banned because school is part of real life. If it's done right, it makes your life after school richer, even if you don't actually earn that well. Also banned because I forgot you're a UPS guy, lucky to belong to an organization that does its job very well and pays its line level workers well. Most corps that size have no respect for labor. UPS knows y'all are a lot more than a pretty set of legs and a driver's license.
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="37921" id="3020003"]banned for 6 years into the position? Nope, that's not kosher[/quote] Banned because I never said it was kosher, just that it sounded typical. At the moment, "6 years into the position" is more like three years because the last three or four years have meant no progress for most of us who weren't already rich. Plus, I referenced stats, which are a big fuzzy mess easily used to spin lies and dis
