You're welcome.
Technical difficulties, as far as I know.

I've tried both hyperlinks and it's frankly hard to tell the difference. At least the ADL doesn't subject you to Jaybird round the clock.
By the way, has Lucky Lindstedt been [I]banned [/I] over here? That's ridiculous, if so. I understand he's abusive but his sort of "abuse" is more comedy relief than anything - I oughta know, I catch more of it than most regulars here. Anyway, believe it or not, he occasionally has things of merit to contribute: for instance, on the nuts and bolts of local electoral politics. I may come to regret this, but I'm signing the petition to bring him back to OD (ES).

We all found him funny and interesting at times, but overall, its just too much work dealing with people who fundamentally are uneasy and unhappy with the rules of your forum, and feel the need to constantly test them. We just don't have time to watch people like that all the time.

Yeah, I noticed.
Best Phora development yet: Raina's a moderator! I guess water really [I]does [/I] find its own level after all.

It is a joke, she was made moderator of a forum that does not exist.

She'll be bumped up to SuperMod any day now. Jesus Christ, have you [I]perused [/I] the Phora lately? It's not as if [I]Raina as moderator [/I] would reflect poorly on the otherwise high level of discourse there....not with Jaybird on the job!
I also notice Fade has begun to post FoxNews "stories" minus commentary of any kind:

which is par for the course, really, given his prior thumbs-up endorsement of Jonah Goldberg and company.
