Yes siree. I had to sit down and rest after reading their comments accusing me of habitually breaking the two posts per day blog. Hold on, I have to talk to my kid’s shrink. You have no idea how upsetting this has been.
Okay I’m back.
This is my second blog today.
Let’s review shall we.
Yesterday one post.
Tuesday four posts. ( four posts. Wow that’s a lot of posts. I see their point. Who cares? Fuck em) That’s one day the rule was broken. Proceed.
Monday one post
Sunday two posts
Saturday one post
Thursday two posts
Wednesday one post
Shall I go on?
Needless to say this has been very traumatic on family and me. I expect satisfaction. Nothing short of a suspension for these two scoundrels is in order.
Wait a second. I like having conway around. He means well. So just get rid of Christopher. In fact make Christopher serve his suspension then give him the one conway should have received on top.
You’ll get back to me on this, right?

Our rules are here. There is a rule against personal attacks on other BMGers which means: keep comments focused on politics and policies, not other commenters. We often ban or suspend people, sometimes with notice and sometimes without, sometimes temporarily and sometimes permanently, when they violate our rules. I’ll interpret this post as a joke, and the comments you reference as presumably well meaning but safe to ignore, and just remind everyone to follow the posted rules. Thanks.
Christopher says
…but it’s a little difficult when I’m the object of “F ’em” as I am above and in light of the fact that you deleted a gently ribbing comment of mine directed at him a while back. I believe I said I THOUGHT it was a rule and if I’m mistaken, fine, but I’m using my own free speech to say I still find it obnoxious. I have often felt there is a bit of a double standard when it comes to EB3.

you’d better have a logo next to your name.
On the hiking site I help moderate we can make trolls invisible. They can post and post and post – but no one sees it but them. It’s kinda funny, but I doubt eb3 would even notice the change.
petr says
… by any reading, EBIII routinely violates the spirit and often the letter of the rules.
By a close reading of the rules, there is no distinction made between repeated and crude attacks on ‘other BMGs’ and similarly malicious attacks and commentary on particular individuals in the public sphere, not that EBIII has kept to those distinctions either. Most egregiously, repeated and unsubstantiated claims litter his every diary in direct contravention of the posted rules.
The fact that you have to ‘interpret’ away his many breaches of the policy is insulting the intelligence of those of us who have read, and at least make an attempt to respect, the rules.

sorry for the snark.
Bob, I was once stopped from posting after two posts, this was some time ago but I had an automated prompt. Maybe something with the old platform? But some truth to the comments.
Bob Neer says
Maybe WordPress has some automated Spambot, but it’s not one of our rules đŸ™‚

They want two hundred big ones for them to have the honor of having me use their polling software.
Two hundred clamaroos.
How about BMG finding some polling software they can pay 200 bucks for and embed it in this site.
I’m going to Saratoga in a couple of weeks so I can’t be wasting good money on polling.

I view EB3’s tongue-in-cheek request to suspend you twice as a badge of honor!

that disturbed guy.

I wish he would spell & grammar check, but I can deal with it.
Mark L. Bail says
can get back to protesting the Market Basket thing?
SomervilleTom says
I sure hope he has something to get back to. Now that the Bulger and Probation Department trials are over, I fear he’s in danger of running out of material.
That’s ok though, I figure in another month the Democratic gubernatorial nominee will be Martha Coakley and then EB3 can have some REAL fun.
SomervilleTom says
Maybe we could have some polls (I think I remember these from somewhere) with genuine on-the-record statements of public officials, where the game is to “guess the Democrat”.
Such fun!
