Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Recon on a bad day:
*troll face*
*blanket-ban entire Flood forum*
I recall blanket bans across 2-3 dozen porch threads one night.
It's a sign that a particular ninja hits their personal tolerance limit and says, "okay, funtime is over, time for me to remind people that this isn't a litterbox."
Members hit their personal tolerance limit all of the time, and they make a "______ should be a bannable topic" thread. Ninjas have a similar limit, but are equipped to react differently. I don't consider it a bad thing. It certainly is cathartic.
*waits for those who had to Google* You're back? Good. I will continue.
Those who want consistency, I believe that they don't realize what they are asking for. Because a blanket ban is what we're capable of doing for each and every bit of nonsense we encounter. The fact if we were literal and basically an "if this, then that" human script, the blanket bans would be everywhere. Yeah, you don't want THAT consistency.
These are the times where people need to realize that when we're "at ease", we're being tolerant and pretty cool cats. As Dr. Banner once said, "You don't want to see me angry. You won't like it."
Appreciate our ability to relax and watch the kiddies rolling in the mud, dirt and sand. But when we decide that "enough is enough", that is not the time to cry.
You won't believe the number of "I wus unfarely bant" PM's that I got for people who were whining about a 3 day. I banned myself for a week to try to demonstrate that a ban is nothing more and nothing less than what it is supposed to be. A time out to review the rules and reconsider your interpretation of them. That anyone who cries and wants "this horrid black mark stricken from the record, I was only being lulzy!" needs to step back and gather some much needed perspective.
Well, back to being tolerant and waiting until I've "had enough"..... tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock..... boo!
