Oh LOOK, Michelle Bachmann is being a little trooper, ignoring criticism from her own party, the Democratic party, and the reality-based community, to double down on crazy and accuse ANOTHER high-ranking political-type person of Muslim Brotherhood ties.
You too, kiddo. As you may or may not recall, I nuked my Shave The Whales account in a snit over the new Editrix's Ruelz. (That is, I happened to be pretty drunk that night). I lurked for almost a week before concluding that I had, shall we say, overreacted, and made a new account.
Thanks for the update (and the free beer, never forget).
While I prefer the minimum <i>possible</i> amount of moderation, I&#039;m old enough to have watched several once-interesting newsgroups and websites go up in flames. IMO, the tipping point is personal attacks -- not &quot;what you said&quot;, but &quot;who you are&quot;. Ban the fuck out of that.
CK: Sometimes on Wonkette I feel there is a parallel universe that I don&#039;t occupy.
I don&#039;t know the incident(s) you describe. I&#039;ve read Barb&#039;s comments and she is not only the funniest person here, but seems to be a remarkably kind, together, thoughtful person who has been going through a very rough time.
There is never an excuse for someone to be a bully. Barb shouldn&#039;t have to put with any crap - and, of course, neither should anyone else here. We have enough problems in this world that need to be handled.
I thoroughly agree with CK that we should treat each other with some reasonable level of respect - and there is no cause and no place for anyone being a bully.
I don&#039;t see the bright line to your rules. I can&#039;t agree that you &quot;caused&quot; any of this hot mess - people here need to accept responsibility for their actions.
I&#039;m almost certain I said &quot;thank you&quot; for the free beer, but if by some circumstance (e.g., too much free beer) I did not, Thank you very much for the very indeterminate quantity of free beer.
And for the chance to meet you and other Wonkadoos in person.
But mostly the free beer.
Edit: that last line was a joke, in case we&#039;re still running snark threat level turquoise.

Thank you for that.
I&#039;m a pretty big supporter of SETI, but I also wish we&#039;d conduct a search for terrestrial intelligence.
CK:
But a good woman can always get down.
Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go everywhere.
Barb:
Welcome back! It just isn&#039;t the same without you.
I know your p-ness will be bigger than mine by this afternoon. But, this morning, I don&#039;t even have to be jealous!
And to that potty-mouth Wonketter who left me a Mean Girls post [deleted] - you must be a South Pole elf.

That may teach the folks who are still defending his rotting corpse.
Um, I think it&#039;s more like the consensus of voices in her head.
How do you get to restart with 93p? Henngh?
(Edit: probably because you are far wittier than I am).
