2. That was a good response

I think of it as like reincarnation. Yeah, you may screw up in one life, but then in the next, you learn your lesson and do better.

Or, repeat the same mistakes. Either way, it's the natural cycle.

4. Cool take!

9. The bigotry against zombies continues.

Just because we eat delicious brains is no reason to hate us.

13. I nominate Skinner for Nobel Laureate.

[ohiosmith]

17. Seconded!

[pipi_k]

18. He's just way too

cool for this place!

Sometimes when people get all pissy on him I can visualize him sitting there saying, "Meh. I wonder what's for dinner?"

hahahahah

[Wait Wut]

21. Gotta say...

...his replies over there can be hilarious. Just one well placed word...

He's like a word ninja.

[MiddleFingerMom]

22. Kudos to Skinner for recognizing that sometimes the predators (the hunters)...

.... can be worse than the prey.

Amen, brother... amen!!!

It's amazing how many purity councils spring up on this leftwing site.

[ohiosmith]

24. Yep!

[Phentex]

27. Well, I'm a spotter not a hunter!

I don't report. I don't alert. I just watch and wait.

Current one was fairly easy to spot. Trying to be clever and cautious but just can't help itself. Never caused much concern on DU2 but pushed its luck on DU3.

I feel a little bit sorry for it because it doesn't seem malicious but more just socially inept.

Don't ask. I won't tell.


P.S. I believe in second chances and am very happy a certain person got one.

28. What really sucks

is when a zombie becomes a witch hunter and ends up repeating the behavior that got them banned in the first (2nd &3rd) place. I've got no problem with zombies unless they're making DU suck.

23. Probably one of the best replies by Skinner ever....

"I don't want to empower the zombie hunters, troll hunters, and witch hunters on this site."

[ohiosmith]

25. It is!

[libodem]

35. He is wise

And incidentally very funny. I have lol through that whole group.

[Ron Obvious]

30. I suppose I should ask in AtA

But how does DU recognise a reappearance? Does the last known IP address of the PPR'ed poster get saved and any further attempts to register a new user name from that IP address get flagged immediately? That could be problematic in some cases.

Or do people just spot their posting style, possibly with the aid of text analysis software?

I've always been curious, but couldn't be arsed to find out. Thus, I'm asking it here.

[ohiosmith]

31. The answer to that question is hidden in Skinner's sock drawer,........

I've said too much already!

[In_The_Wind]

32. indeed

[Ms. Toad]

34. Join MIRT next term, and you will learn all...

[Ron Obvious]

36. I fear the power would go to my head n/t

[Ms. Toad]

37. I'd offer to give you what for every once in a while

to save you from that fate - but I'm off at the end of this term.

[Orrex]

39. I think that Sid is a zombie and has been since 2002.

That sneaky bugger!
