all -- I received, in reply to the post to which this is a reply, the following deeply thought out and highly articulate private message from one of the longest-standing of our esteemed banned posters:
"Only on yourcloistered chicken sh*t cowards board"
of course, when I went to see if I could reply to said private message (I wasn't actually gonna reply, just wanted to see if the guy who'd just called us chickenshit cowards was willing to risk getting a reply to his private message), I got the 'Profiles in Courage' message "Sorry, this member has blocked you from sending messages to them or you have blocked them." (for the record, consistent with the fact that I'd received that private message in the first place, I don't block anybody's private messages)
