So. Since we're being nice here in the Cabbie (well, nice for us), I'm too brain-dead to do anything productive, and there ain't nothing good on TV, I've been taking a spin through some old locked AW flame wars that resulted in someone getting banned.
My thoughts:
(1) Where do we find these azzhats?
(2) Thank you, Mods. I don't think I fully realized until now what a thankless job you have. << An actual sincere statement. Get it while it's hot.
(3) I've started mentally nominating some of these people/threads/posts for awards. I haven't even scratched the surface of the TIO forum yet, so I'm in no position to nominate posts in multiple categories yet.
However, I do have a nominee for "Person Demonstrating Greatest Likelihood in her Welcome Thread of Eventually Being Banned." Although she was banned a while ago, I'll leave out her name. But her post is too awesome not to share. With apologies to our own dear Reg, here it is:

Hey Reg Dog? A "Hello, how are you?" will do. I am a writer, I can read. I know it's 50 posts before I start a thread. This is not a thread this is an introduction, as in "Hello everyone!" I see your little anime now so I take back the not saying hello thing, but come on, don't start with the rules as your very first 'welcome' post. Okis?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*wipes away tears of mirth*
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh dear. Oh deary dear dear dear. Reg, I hope you laughed as much as I did when you first saw that post.
It's far too easy to waste time on AW. (Although weirdly enough, I actually did get a lot done today.)
