Removed the arson conversation.  mainiac jumped right to personal attacks, and has done that many times, and there was a thread warning over a mainiac fight a few weeks ago in here, so mainiac has 3 days silent time.  Some others should also be cautious too, however, and this post should be considered a further thread warning.  I'm not inclined to lock the thread, but I will be moderating more severely in here if people can't post responsibly.

Ouch, I was certain LW would get moderated before mainiac... I hope he manage to not get banned, I'd miss the guy.

I don't want him banned either, but he needs to learn some social skills. Lately it's like he's been going out of his way to condescend to people.

Things just keep getting better and better for Chicago PD.

On another note, who calls their child Quintonio?


Chicago sounds like it's trying to become Chkillco!

I dunno, for me it's just a quirk, like LSP bad orthograph. You know he's an asshole (but a smart one) and roll with it. Plus he's aware he's an ass, if you point it out nicely, or need more details, he will usually oblige.


Maybe I need to do a bit of stalker-fu and add him on FB before he gets banned here.

Way ahead of you: Just asking people usually is easier and more effective.

I've seen him respond decently well when he's told he's being too much of an asshole with tact.  I've also seen him do the complete opposite.  I don't want to see him banned, either.  He offers valuable perspective and knowledge fairly often.  But self-aware assholes are the type I generally have the least tolerance for.

If that's how you classify yourself, it's of a much different order of magnitude.  I don't think I've ever got any abrasive vibes from you, to be honest.

In on-topic news, the politician -and former KKK Grand Wizard- David Duke has publicly spoken in favor of Trump's "more radical than mine" rhetoric, although he refuses to endorse Trump due to the latter not being antisemetic enough.
