Having reviewed my exchange above with the condemned
@Myles O'Reilly and although I thought I made it clear that it was Tiger and not AL who wanted Buddy Love banned.. I now see that the question asked by Myles was whether Tiger wanted Buddy Love or AL banned.
In further development, I see that
@AUL LAD has martyred himself (until Jan 23rd)
In the spirit of innocence and togetherness, I suggest that all bans - both imposed and self-imposed are lifted. It's what Buddy Love would've wanted
The Tale of James Dawson, the Forum Fossil
Oh, James Dawson, king of the trolls,
Lurking in forums, patrolling the holes.
With Wi-Fi as his armor, his keyboard his lance,
He’d argue with strangers in a digital dance.
But James wasn’t awesome—no, far from it, mate,
His hobby? Posting hot takes no one could rate.
About politics, science, and God he would preach,
Like a lifeguard yelling at fish on a beach.
One day, as he typed some pretentious screed,
A Tiger appeared, with a bone to knead.
Not a polite feline, but a savage roar,
This Tiger was ready to settle the score.
“James,” it growled, “your arguments stink,
You couldn’t convince a goldfish to drink!
Your logic is flimsy, your facts are all wrong,
And you’ve been posting this garbage all day long!”
The Tiger pounced, claws sharp as wit,
Tearing James’ arguments bit by bit.
With each brutal swipe, the truth became clearer:
James’ dignity died—and he couldn’t be cheerer.
“You need to log off,” the Tiger decreed,
“Go touch some grass, fulfill a real need.
Your memes are stale, your takes are rotten,
And your social skills? Completely forgotten.”
So James closed his laptop, his ego in tatters,
Realizing at last what truly matters.
He stepped outside, saw the sun in the sky,
And thought, “Wait, I’m outside... but WHY?
Now James meets people in person, not threads,
And uses his words for making friends instead.
The Tiger still checks in, just to ensure,
That James stays offline—and his dignity’s secure.
