Lucio seems to be essentially correct, actually.

Not really. As far as I know, the word was used by the ancient Greeks to refer to foreigners. In other words, I don't think we have any reason to believe that the term would have been used to describe a Greek person with a stuttering problem.

Coordi,

I'm not sure what happened with Mets but he's banned can you free him?

Also-- free Lagtight please.

He can't. Mod A is not able to lift a ban imposed by Mod B.

Someone with admin authority of course could do so.

I guess I'll announce that I'll be helping out with modding P&S. If you've seen my posting you will know that they must be pretty desperate to bring me on.

My general vision for modding is that hopefully you wont even know I'm here. Don't be a relentless overt PoS and I'll never have to do anything.

I'm mostly doing this to give myself an undertitle. Any thoughts?

Good Luck everyone starts as a mod with a clean slate

Yeah, I’m actually still a mod, so no. No one can do that, and they shouldn’t either way. I already discussed his ban in the moderator forum. It’s been amended to a perma for the last time.

And he’s banned because after I lifted his perma the first time, he again engaged in the same harassing behaviors like spamming me with PMs, calling everything and everyone under the sun an antisemite, his total inability to control his own emotions like a big boy, and finally calling me slurs. He’s not getting any more special treatment, we are not gifting him with any extra lives. Mets should spend his time IRL becoming a better person. He needs it.

We’re currently experimenting with keeping the forum open with extra help. Coordi is that help. I am taking a short break by the seaside at the moment. If it all falls apart, the forum gets closed, so maybe try not to be an insufferable pita in the meantime. Thanks.


Is it a three month ban or perma for Mets?


He is gone and he will not be back. He is the problem. And he will never stop. I wish him the best, but he will no longer be allowed to harass and mistreat people here.

Facts, nor math, care about a MAGAs feelings.

You seem to use MAGA as a pejorative. Imagine thinking Making America Great Again is a bad thing.


Implies America is not great now. Love it or leave it, malcontent.

It sounds like Coordi is the substitute teacher while the usual teacher is on break. It sounds like Coordi is going to be taking a hands off approach. This is quite different from your more micro managy approach. When you get back this forum is going to be different from when you left it. Will there be a transition time for posters or are you gonna come back guns a blazing?

America is not great now. It's getting a heck of a lot better under Trump though. The Biden administration destroyed this country.

Really? Let's start with this. When was America great?

Literal smooth-brained take.


Coordi isn’t a sub, Mongidig. He’s the literal reason the forum is remaining open. Stfu. You’re disturbing my peace.


by jjjou812 m

Way to miss the point!

One day, if you ever grow up, you may stop seeing monsters under the bed.

I don't live near any monsters so I'm good.

Literally what happened.


by Gorgonian m

Up through the 50's and 2016-2020.

I expected no less than you doubling down on your smooth-brained take.

not fast enough tho. hopefully Trump can finish the job.


by mongidig m

So prior to feminism, birth control, and civil rights. Got it. Very white male dominated society at the expense of literally every other demographic. That was great to you?

And lol at saying 2016-2020. The final year of Obama's presidency and then Trump's presidency, after he already ran on the slogan "make america great again." It's your contention that he was referring to 2016-2020 when he said "make america great again in 2016.

Got it.

Just an incredible post.

Edit to add more color to your "prior to 1950" era great america.

We had segregation so whites benefited from building their schools and buildings with black tax dollars.

It was arguably one of the most socialist times in American history. It had the highest corporate and high-end tax rates in history. Additionally the new deal was in full swing (for the white man): building cheap houses, throw money at education and housing, and providing amazing government jobs basically all over the country.

Don't forget the top tax rate was 90%. We don't mean that part, though, right? I think the only part you were actually referring to was the racism and sexism.

He accomplished more on the first day than Biden did his whole Presidency. It's nice to have an available President who actually goes out in public and answers questions. It's great that we are getting back to moral values. It's great that we are using common sense.


mong, you didn't understand what Victor wrote.

I wasn't around in the 50's it's just what I heard. It seemed to be a more classy time. Better family values.

I personally did quite well in the first Trump Presidency. I wonder what he could have accomplished if he wasn't being harassed by the Democrats and the Never Trumpers. The years of government waste are over. The years of weaponizing the DOJ are over. The US is taking back what is rightfully ours.

I think I did. Why do you say this?

Things are demonstrably better today (well, as of a few months ago. Seems to be circling the drain a bit right now). And sure it was a great time if you were a white male.

There's a reason for that. See above.

Not according to Trump.
