They have latkes parties?

There are those of us that might not "enjoy each other's company". That's the way life works. The regulars still treat each other with a level of respect that we should all take pride in.

I don't contribute anything here, but I love it. I'm thankful for being allowed here in light of that.

I get upset when someone blatantly posts vulgarity here in an effort to push the limit.

Then again, people act like they are offended by me squatting in the Shoutbox.

I'm not dumb enough to think one is better than the other and I salute the tolerance that makes it all happen.

Yeah, that's at once the benefit and downside of this site having proved so resistant to the wider meme culture of the Internet - you miss out on a lot of obnoxious stuff, but every once in a while something like that slips through and you haven't built up the right immunity to it so it's all too easy to take at face value.
Having read through some posts I must say it's almost a miracle that it had to take a Reddit copypasta to get CDB a temp ban. Seems like a poster who is always on the edge.
I have another 15 minutes, so let's start ranting.

I applaud the administrator for letting CDB go as long as he did. CDB was offensive, but smart enough to skate the edge and not get in trouble. I admire an administration that can handle a situation free of the emotion that comes from someone shhting on your living room floor and deal with facts.

Ummmm...Iro is a slick one, but...

CDB is just a button pusher. Humans evolved to deal with conflict and now lack daily threats. Some exercise that muscle through a new medium that doesn't carry with it a fear of swallowing teeth.

Let's not give Iro credit for something he doesn't deserve.

I do however, fully Stan the "vents" shout. Primo stuff there.
I say yes.
I've been back for a few hours. Minio has left and Cynema was banned. Is me finally becoming a regular the last straw that can end MovieForums for good?
