(83,637 posts)I was just trying to find more images of Beyoncé to post, she must be one bad ass to have gotten me a 7-0 hide.
I missed you all.
Number23
(24,544 posts)But posting a picture of Beyonce flipping the bird gets somebody a 7-0 hide.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was that very hide or the deep, profound stupidity of bravenak's "probescito" comment getting hidden that were the two things that made Skinner say
on letting these folks around here decide who can and cannot talk.
sheshe2
(83,637 posts)They may have been the tipping point, I PMed Skinner on mine. Alerter was a no comment. I asked Skinner if alerts were multiple choice now, Choose your reason to hide.
Are you sitting down? Two alerts on me tonight, both leaves. I have two stalkers biting my ass. One followed me from another site. I am being followed closely.
All that said, I am so happy to be back. So good to talk to you #23. Love ya~

(11,243 posts)Remember, it's a marathon of stupid, not a sprint. Gotta pace yourself!
1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)I can't sprint for 400 meters at the stupid, then sit down and rest for a couple hours ... 27 times?
wildeyed
(11,243 posts)Because you have to sleep! I prefer the tactic of sprinting head on at the brick wall of stupid. Usually end up knocking myself out, but everyone needs a hobby
So glad you are back!

Look forward to communicating with ALL our dear friends here!
Sorry if this has been posted upthread or other places. I'm so excited about it that I wanted to spread this message and haven't even read the rest of this thread yet.

(32,342 posts)I hope folks come back. I could understand not wanting to, after the abuse, but they make this place 1000% smarter when they are here.

(89,239 posts)maybe the admin will realize this goes back even further and we have lost many posters of color because of the types that were allowed to run this place.

(51,308 posts)I thought they weren't suspending people at this point.
Besides, the last hide was completely bogus and insane. Wtf?

My mistake; the new admin rules have me confused.
I'm glad I was mistaken.
