Originally Posted By DlandDug I have foresworn WE for quite a while, but I have decided to enter this thread, but once. I have joined the ranks of those pointedly ignoring the Abusive New Poster, including his (for now) successful foray into the mainline threads at LP. I am also rigorously lurking here and reporting ANYTHING he posts. It is my privilege to do so, as it is the privilege of anyone here to post, report, or ignore. No one has the "right" to post anywhere in LaughingPlace.com. I know the Abusive New Poster. He knows me. I have no idea what is going on in his life right now, or what has brought him here again and again. I would like to believe this is just some sort of aberration, and not indicative of what he (or anyone, for that matter) is really like. As to the question of why some people get a pass for what they say here, and the Abusive New Poster does not, I would say the answer is found in the story of Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch. As Brer Fox is extricating himself from his thorny mess, he asks Brer Rabbit how this could possibly be the LaughingPlace. The Rabbit just laughs and tells him, "I didn't say it was YOUR LaughingPlace. I said it was MY LaughingPlace." This is NOT your LaughingPlace, Beau. I sincerely hope you will find one, somewhere, that will satisfy you. That's all.

Right. Sometimes regular posters here can get heated, but usually when there is a stalemate, or tempers flare, it's not personal. I won't say it never gets personal, but comparing that to what the trolls do is nothing.
