Dom, you're one of those guys who whines that people are better/fitter/more networked/richer than you as if there is a vast metropolitan conspiracy against your sorry, provincial, undervalued arse. Your solution: the only way to become memorable is to be hateful. Public response: MEH. When they find you as a pensioner, freeze-dried to a chair three months after your lonely death, wearing a bathrobe and dried remnants of excreta, and with more unpublish/ed/able work than Colin Wilson to burn off, nobody who was here will be very surprised AT ALL.
If you really need to insult me, feel free to take well-informed pot shots at my career, friends, looks, physique, sexual partners over the years, or social class. It will be as enlightening or original as anything else you 'contribute' here.

Not that I have anything against this poster, but aren't there double-standards being employed if people are getting temp bans for bumping a particular poster's threads, but others aren't for wishing someone die in their own shit?

that is not a wish, it is a prediction.

Dom has been throwing snark at Suzy for years, Louis. What goes around, comes around here, I think, and I don't think it's "cause for reprimand".
Nobody is at present temp banned for going on a revival spree.

...and seriously, for all I find Dom occasionally utterly infuriating, the guy at least is pretty thick skinned, and can take what he dishes out, so I think he's the last person who needs someone taking up the cudgel on his behalf.

OK, fair enough. I'm trying to be even-handed here, but clearly there's a lot of undiscovered history in the reckoning. Next time I'll schtum.

Louis I'm not having a go at you but established posters having a pop at one another has never been a bannable offence (anonymous or new creeps, maybe). Consistent, unprovoked OTT snark is. Can we please stop this 'he said, she said' trying to get one another banned stuff?
