I just have one question...

Back on topic, yeah, I think they use it to show that you, ya know, act like Otaku Son (who I never met, but he is, presumably, a jerk).

[P-Sleazy]

Presumably, most of us presume he is a jerk. But the rest of us...we KNOW he is a jerk.

A title for a ban, using a former members name, has all the hallmarks of an inside joke that is better not to ask about, but rather just to pretend that you understand. No amount of information will really make you 'get it'... for Otaku Son... you just had to be there.

Agreed for the most part, though I would be deceitful to deny finding it amusing.
And there is also a cognition issue in regards to the meaning behind the phrase that the simple "banned" does not have.

I'll second that motion.

Are there objections, or may we put it to a floor vote?

Votes are for democracies! This is a dictatorship! You're in shiney's world now, bitches.

shiney's world is happy to accomodate requests.

I sort of envisioned it as a parliamentary dictatorship, wherein the power to effect action rests within the hands of the executive, while the representative body is permitted to advise upon and ratify the executive's decision, providing the executive at least the faint veneer of publicly sanctioned support for his brutal regime. The velvet glove around the iron fist, as it were.

...At least until I stage the revolution by which I wrest control of the Books & Comics forum, thereby to wage my brutal and bloody campaign against the slavering dogs of Chatroomia.

For the glory of the Burger Empire!

Precisely, sir!
Precisely one moment closer to your downfall, you overweening monarchial bastard!!
Concicely and, dare I say, poetically encapsulated, as only a Liege of your bold and dynamic prowess could be!

Mo' like your downfall, sucker. Though the Burger Empire truly IS supreme.
