the MODS really need to get out more!! . Losers.

It's fine AE, trust me. Really.

I've heard from FBM, and he's quite thrilled at the whole experience.

He was a bit shaky on his feet, poor old lad, as the whole thing happened quite quickly, but now he's as happy as Larry - a bit upset he wasn't able to grab his favourite tartan slippers to take with him, but he's got his second-favourite pair and his best cardigan, and an old trooper like FBM can't go far wrong when he's got those with him.

I'd like to thank everyone concerned for helping make FBM's dream come true.

Seeing the old chap achieve his lifetime aspiration was...well.....really rather emotional...um....

<snuffle>

Sorry. Thankyou, thankyou all.

Ok, lets take a vote. Who want's FBM back, yay or nay.....(see who his mates really are) :D

(voting will close midday 14/06/11)

If he comes back he is only going to insufferably boast that he got there with only a thousand votes and if he doesnt come back he will only end up on the darker side with all those lesser mortals who got permanently banned so on balance i think

We should only let him back if he promises to behave and not boast

Obviously, as FBM's election agent, I'm concerned about the conduct of said poll.

We need to be clear if we're talking first-past-the-post, single transferable vote, or true proportional representation.

If the latter, we could end up with a 50% mixture of Guppy and FBM.

i.e. very grumpy, but prone to forget what it was being grumpy about before it finishes typing the sentence. Not, I'm sure you'd agree, what we want at all.

I got banned because I was rude to Guppy. Am I in an exclusive group?

all my thread and forum bans are on JB
currently on a nine day ban from 'Climate change debate'
:}

Oh go on then, but only on the condition he tells us about how his world collapsed around him when he was banned!

get FBM back, he sticks up for me being !!!!e at spelling and grammar.

Just thinking, if he stays banned for a further 24 hours he can boast an extra feather :E :E :E

With over 6000 views on this thread that must say something for Guppy.
Get him back the place is getting boring

Pace

Well I would have them both back. Posting waspish comments on a forum is hardly grounds for a ban and as for PMs to moderators ....... People like Guppy add some spice to a debate and the ability to agree or disagree robustly is what makes debates interesting.

We need a campaign. FREE THE GUPPY.:D:D:D

Has at least FBM been let out of jail?

In all seriousness (for a moment), this isn't going to happen, as he overstepped the mark in a big way.

By all means enjoy the present discussion, but don't expect to see him back - at least not using that name (but I suspect it would be easy to spot him by the nature of his posts if he registered under a new ID).

Crash One
 

With 71 postings I think you're the one to start the thread "Free the Guppy" cos you need at least 1000 posts to get banned.... :ok:

Also I think your alias will get you some additional credit with the mods.

I suggest the readers count will be the "signatures" in support as your quest as most posters here will only write some garbled text in order not to get banned.... My text will be something like "@#$%^@#$%^ on saturdays only"


:D

My personal moderator (my other half), freed a Guppy.

It was almost dead anyway, so it went down the loo.

I think you have confused his age with the numbers of his posts. Both numbers are pretty high though, so it probably makes no difference.

Can't wait for FBM to be freed and hear what it is like to be banned.

If it is worth it I'll rush 700 plus posting of nonsense to reach the magic number 1000 and then burp in Italian in a mod's ear and get jailed :)

Actually, I'm starting to get rather worried.

He should have been back here hours ago. :eek:
