you see the mods never spend any time on these pages,
That is an inaccurate statement. I try to read all the new post in OD on a fairly regular basis.

This is an accurate statement.

A "tool" is a bad word/term? IDK that, sorry I'm not hip to the new underground code of bad words. I don't view signatures so I cannot judge people by those. Why does anyone want to view signatures when they seems so divisive?

One of the features of this forum software, unless opted out by a member, is the ability of another to view a summary of your current forum activity, such as the identity of a particular thread you may be viewing. A few nights ago I was viewing this website and apparently I had been viewing a thread when I walked away from my iPad for a period of time. When I came back and refreshed the page, that particular thread had a post from BB, asking me how long I was going to read this thread. He must have been monitoring my forum activity. As he had a few posts on that thread, I replied with a post to the effect of "Until your posts no longer amuse me".

Yesterday, I was on the forum, saw that Billybob was on this very thread, and asked HIM how long he was going to read THIS thread, unfortunately misspelling "thread".

Mister BB did/does have a penchant for scouring the past posting history of his "frenemies."

By TW's own admission, I was infracted by him for a certain post without a flagging/complaint from another member. Just remember mods are members too!!! Rest assured when some one gets the attention of a mod, they keep a close watch on the members posts.

Good lord. Must one include the :satire/sarcasm: specification on everything? That was tongue firmly in cheek. The likes of Billybob and others who shall remain nameless (it must be tough on them in life to be nameless, but oh well) seem to think that everything they say or do is witty, charming, and utterly appropriate unless some so-called crybaby complains to the mods via pm.

I've been incorrectly blamed for doing such a few times and it can get annoying.

Friends, enemies, and cohorts: take responsibility for your own actions, please.

I think that you're right, and with his banning, he'll be even less busy.

I believe your eye roll is misplaced. Billybob initiated the quasi-stalking behavior. Paul was just stick-poking him on it.

Billybob! We hardly knew ya!
