Ok...since the Martial Law has started....I've noticed the community is a lot cleaner. I see no flaming, and everyone is being SUPER nice to each other. This is great, I am so happy to see the new atmosphere. Yay for progress!!!!!!

I don't think it is pointless....may be stating the obvious, but I appreciate Xianti taking a stand and like where things are headed.

He made a post dripping with sarcasm.
It's impossible to make a good point with sarcasm.

It's not a prediction. I was just voting because you put the poll up. Should I not vote?
You honestly think I thought about a number? I don't even remember what I voted for... other than I knew I wouldn't be banning you just because you put this poll up, hence, I didn't vote for "bye bye lambchop."

I voted 1-5, but I apparently underestimated the immaturity present at FTR.
My revised prediction is +20.
This will eventually include everyone who voted for "Bye bye lambchop, nice knowing you". Ironically, lambchop will still be here as he's the only one who has been civil.

I would have to agree. lambchop knows how to be funny without insulting or degrading someone.

FWIW, loanhorse was banned some time ago.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.
