You know your chances improve if you're here a lot, right?
You must have a life!

(10,000 posts)2. I'm here about as much as I usually am.
I used to get picked almost daily to settle flame wars, quell trollery, and decide longstanding grudges amongst posters in GD. Now my screen never turns blue.....not even for your controversy-laden posts, CP.

Let's hope there won't be any more of those...

(25,348 posts)4. I think it had something to do with your comments
I mean, your voting was fine but saying.
"The filthy bastard should be boiled in oil"
"I'd ram a 2X4 up the poster's ass"
"Find out her address and burn down her fucking house"
"Make him drink a pint of super-draino"
..seems just a little harsh. but that's just me....

(10,000 posts)5. I'd like to address these concerns, if I may
"The filthy bastard should be boiled in oil"
As you are doubtless aware, I did not make this coment during jury service. I made this comment about Skinner in Help & Meta when I saw the new price list.
"I'd ram a 2X4 up the poster's ass"
The jury alert was on one of Mr. Scorpio's many music video postings. How many of those can we all take, really?
"Find out her address and burn down her fucking house"
If you'd seen what California Peggy had written, you'd have doubtless felt the same way!
"Make him drink a pint of super-draino"
I won't try to defend that comment, but I wil say that the poster's comment reminded me of something Tim Tebow might say. I'll just leave it at that.

(25,348 posts)6. My apologies. From what you wrote, not only were your comments correct..they..
...were quite mild considering the situation.
