Whatever Happened to the Punishment fitting the Crime?
Okay, so those pretentious fucks at straightdope banned my new accounts again, despite the fact I wasn't even botherin' anyone. Naturally, I complain about it.

And then, as retribution, I get Box'd for 96 hours, until April 8? What the fuck, man.

You're not much for following rules, are you?

Rat Diva will be along to serenade you on her tiny violin. Right before she delivers an almighty KA-BONG! on your fuzzy noggin.

Complain here, or in the Pit. But don't fuck up the Durp Snark thread by whining about your own stupidity.

Also, we all think you smell like pee.

That said, is it true that smoking pot helps you lose your inhibitions and perform at drag shows? Because that's what everyone's saying.

It's deeply immoral to be a conservative bigot, so you probably got banned for that. Bigot. Probably a Russian spy too.

The Dope has a policy: no sock accounts, whatsoever. Like it or not, those are their rules. If you get caught, you get banned. That's what they do, so there's no use complaining about it.

All the electrolysis and Nair in the world is not going to make you look like Julie Andrews no matter how baked you get, so you can just give up on that dream right now.

It's over a sock puppet? Geez dude, are you so stupid as to not understand cause and effect? They'd ban Ed Zotti if he used his Cecil Adams sock puppet.

If you want to be allowed back, apologize and plead ignorance of the rule. As you are a conservative, and a hard core one at that, they will assume you are as stupid as a fucking box of rocks and that will be believed. Of course, as you are a conservative, they will also be shocked that you apologized and correctly question its sincerity.

I know some will find this upsetting, but ol' Connie Dingus is right. His punishment falls far short of fitting his crime.

I recently read about a man in Memphis who has spent the last 31 years in jail for a crime he was never guilty of and now that he has finally gotten cleared of the charges and can go home if he even has a home to go to, the only money that he was given to get started on his life again is $75.00 and he is now somewhere in his 60's.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

P.S. What is the point of this story? Well if one person is going to get screwed, so can another. I feel bad for both you and him, Hardcoreconservative880.

Getting banned from a message board is miniscule compared to going to prison for 31 years. Ol' Cameron didn't get screwed, he was banned for acting like an ass. The only reason you sympathize is because you were banned for the same thing.

When people go out of their way to be an ass and make the place unpleasant for everyone. Then they need to be called out on it. I prefer to tell you what I think of you directly. Some people are more circumspect. But allowing antisocial assholes to run amok unchallenged then soon all you'll have is /b.

UsMessageBoard is kind of fun. They even have a section on the board where you can spaz out and say whatever.
