Words really do mean something. sosage, I agree, I was very careful when I chose my words "dude that says it how he sees it" with regard to my thoughts on gambit. This is a far cry from "telling it like it is", if it would have been the latter, I would have joined in with the discussion. It's okay if some don't get it now, some day they might. 
Quoted from PW79:Not a single locked thread on page 1 today... First time that's happened in what, years?
Maybe some people are too sensitive?
Things do appear better since Robin's purging. Though it seems like people are just on better behavior, not because the few who were banned were the ones causing all of the problems. Hopefully this will continue.

I'm sorry if it came off like I was jabbing at you personally/specifically. I've just been hearing that saying a lot lately and got a little snarky about it.

The only real big fighting going on right now is in the Bumper Amusements thread. I think it might get overlooked because it's taking place out of prime time and far away. (I like to read it in the early afternoon and catch up on things. It's like checking Olympic results)

It also doesn't have WOZ in the title.
It just proves that we can do as good a job of moderating ourselves if we want to. In this "want it now" society, it takes longer to think things out logically, most shoot from the hip with their posts and hope they hit the target. A discussion stops when someone looses the ability to reason, then you get an argument fueled by frustration, which there can be no reconciliation in most cases.

No problem and I agree with you, it gave me a chance to clarify my post from earlier so I took it. 
Hey! Where's my poster? LOL

That's for sure. It doesn't seem to have become a WOZ battle just yet. Right now they are beating up Noodlebox pretty good down there. (That's a strange thing to type)

Is that when you wonder WOZ-up ???

Is there a way to bring up a list of only locked threads? That would make for hours of good reading.
lmfao

What did you mean by that??? It's Ban Hammer Time!
Quoted from PW79:Yes, right here.
Now THAT was funny. 
Quoted from blownfuse:Yep, and when/if your time comes, I *might* post something similar about you too. (or not )

Um, actually my time did come. But you know that.
I see that Gambit is still in the top 10 in Pinside Forum Fanatics section at 90 posts.
Man, ...he's been temporarily retired for like 3 or 4 days now, and he's still near the top in number of posts and thumbs-up count.
Perhaps we need to put a temporary ban on Gambit and o-din for a few days each week, just to "keep it fair".
Must be a Thumbs up leader for a reason, right?
What did gambit do wrong? Challenging false statements? Expressing his opinion on a subject matter? If I missed something, sorry.
disclaimer: have never met or talked to the guy.

Post tag issues I think...Robin cleaned house on those using it to stir the pot...or be really funny.
I've noticed several people adding "disclaimers" to their posts since Robin shuffled the deck.
Quite amusing.
I included one myself in another thread in the last day or two.
I predict we may see some good disclaimers going forward.
I'm not sure I agree with everything said by everyone who posts here.

Odin has over 200 posts in the last 7 days. That's nearly 30 posts a day! 
Quoted from jayhawkai:Gambit should get a reprieve if only for his "Jack could fart in an elevator and Lloyd would thank him" line.
One of the most epic lines in Pinside history.

1) No idea why Gambit was banned. Surprised.
2) Too damn lazy search and find out.
3) Better play some pinball...

I'll gladly trade places with Gambit for a while. After all, I've got pinball machines to wax.
Quoted from jayhawkai:Really?!?
Say what you will about FamilyArcade but he tells it like it is.

There is no spoon!

But what if there was?
Quoted from jarjarisgod:But what if there was?
Id have stuck it up someones wazoo already...

I still think you are going to cross the 100k karma thresh hold before me. With that lead I had (50k or something like that) I am simply shocked. LOL
Quoted from turbo20lbs:Words cannot express my feelings of centerflank returning, this sums it up though...
