+1 for FADEC

I would actually laugh out loud at his/her posts.

FADEC was actually a great litmus test for other members… if you took yourself or your opinions too seriously, FADEC would elicit a negative reaction. If you came here with an even slightly open mind, you’d understand immediately that the posts were satirical.

Really FADEC should be part of the mod cadre.

Depends. Was he referring to the food that was often eaten by people with weak stomachs or the cartoon character who's name was derived from that?

Sigh.. let's see how the poll goes. So far not looking good

I would call what oofff does trolling, completely derailling a thread with back and forth non-sense on EVERY subject. At least Fadec limited his off-the-wall posts to a single humerous bomb that only caught the most gullible.

No clue what you’re talking about. Are you talking about me? Gtfo. You don’t know who I am or **** about me. I simply pointed out that Fadec is and was a complete tool on our NK threads.

Im pretty sure I remember reading FADEC posts that were obviously sincere/genuine.

As you mentioned, the moderation ISNT unilateral or “fair”, never really has been.

But if FADEC got the permaban, well, those that post sincere/genuine but are ALSO your favorite gas lighters should be considered to, just sayin’….

I think it’s pretty obvious he didn’t mean ‘milk toast’. He’s using it as an adjective.

Besides the food writer M. F. K. Fisher (1908–1992) called milk toast a "warm, mild, soothing thing, full of innocent strength". Hardly, the sentiment the author was going for.

I would defend ooff, as well…..and it’s no secret that I don’t much care for the individual. BUT…..a forum that’s merely an echo chamber is boring AF. This culture of hurt feelings being more dangerous than anything else disgusts me. When did we all become so fragile? If you banned oofff…I’d be just as irritated.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
