[cali]

5. is that necessary?

I don't agree with him on a lot, but he posts great threads about woo, and is good people.

[MohRokTah]

6. .

That's a Sid Dithers signature posting. Jesus was paying homage.

[cali]

7. oh, sorry. would you like me to delete?

[MohRokTah]

8. No, actually. You post should stand as is.

It will let others know. I'll remove the emoticon from mine.

[longship]

4. Yup! A good guy. R&K nt

[Gothmog]

9. We are glad that you are back

[justhanginon]

10. Good to see you back! n/t

[octoberlib]

11. K&R ! I agree.

[freshwest]

12. A hearty welcome back to Skinner, uh, SidDithers! n/t

[Hekate]

22. Ha! Yes, hope Sid is now rested and ready for the Mad Hatter's Party that is GD.

[Codeine]

13. The board would be a poorer place without him

and a handful of other posters standing firm against the woo onslaught.

[tammywammy]

14. Welcome back Sid!

[NCTraveler]

15. K&R

Can't wait until Hillary invades Canada and Sid becomes a Murkin. That alone would be worth the invasion.

[whatchamacallit]

16. Thud!

[MADem]

17. Hurrah!!!!!

[raouldukelives]

18. I don't agree very much, but when I do, I agree very much. A boot to the thread! nt

[Shrike47]

19. I join in the welcome back.

[stupidicus]

20. thanks for the heads up

since I don't live here, I had no idea he got the medicine he deserved.

I also had no idea that the presumably abusive/etc behavior that sent him on vacation had so much support or was/is openly celebrated as well.

I guess it's about time I learned something around here.

[MohRokTah]

25. Love your handle. eom

[stupidicus]

59. since when I'd ask

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025177005#post10

I'm not sure which is funnier -- the "poor sid" routine seen here like he was the victim of jurors rather than the victimizer, or you apparently laying claim to be of the proper temperment to be an unbiased and accurate judge of all that.

ANd one need not be a genius to understand that trying to make hay out of a "handle" pretty much bars one from that status

[riqster]

21. We, the netizens of DU, would like to present this Laurel

...And hearty handshake to our new... Skinner.

Seriously, big ups to Sid!

[NuclearDem]

23. DU's best troll hunter returns!

[Damansarajaya]

39. Never mind that 2 out or 3 of those "hunted" aren't actually trolls. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

45. and you know this how?

I served on MIRT twice- nobody has a better nose for trolls and socks than Sid.

[Damansarajaya]

52. Begs the question.

How do you know they were trolls? Because they were banned.

Why were they banned? Because they were trolls.

[pintobean]

53. Sounds like you've had a bad experience.

[Damansarajaya]

54. Seeing posters who've been here for a decade get banned for

one heated exchange in which an ill-advised comment to the wrong person made them a "troll"?

Yes, I've seen that happen.

We need all the people we can get on our side. Not just the ones who meet with "the cool kids'" approval.

[pintobean]

55. Sid hasn't banned anyone

unless it was a newbie and as part of MIRT, and had MIRT consensus.
You're blaming him for something he didn't do.

[pintobean]

56. Then again, most banned members claim innocence

or, a history of behavior is claimed to be just one comment.

[awoke_in_2003]

57. MIRT doesn't ban long time members

their purview is 100 posts or less. Long time trash is taken out by the admins.

[Bobbie Jo]

58. Sounds like a personal issue. nt

[randome]

24. I'm sure Sid would say...

"I would never post in an appreciation thread that has me as a subject."
[hr][font color="blue"][center]You should never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[R B Garr]

26. Free Sid! I will say his smilies have never let me down.

They are entirely accurate and well-placed.

[Scurrilous]

27. K & R

[merrily]

28. Not long after I posted that I had decided that sid was one of my favorite DUers,

he got himself suspended. Coincidence?

Welcome back, sid.

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. To Sid.

[Spazito]

30. It is good, indeed, to see Mr. Skithers back posting again!

Oh, and to quote Sid, "DU rec for pissing off all the right people...nt"

LOL

Welcome back Sid!

[KamaAina]

31. Nice post, Skinner!

[d_legendary1]

32. Was Sid Dithers banned and unbanned again?

That's the second time I see a thread like this.

[MohRokTah]

33. Sid Dithers has never been banned to the best of my knowledge. eom

[d_legendary1]

34. Good to know.

I've been seeing some good people get the ax lately. I had to ask.

[kath]

35. He had a time out for having so many hidden posts.

[Rex]

36. Sid Dithers...

[JoePhilly]

37. Sid!!

[Damansarajaya]

38. Wishes we still had the un-like option . . . nt

[MohRokTah]

41. When was there ever an "un-like" option?????????????

[stevenleser]

51. Long before that posters account was started. Nt

[Skittles]

42. or just an LOL one

[kath]

48. Yep. Would be nice.

[Codeine]

61. Your profile says you joined well after Unrec went away.

Who were you before?

[sheshe2]

40. Good to see you back Sid!

[great white snark]

43. As he would say, he pisses off all the right people.

Glad he's back.

[Number23]

44. Yep. And NO ONE has a nose for zombies like El Sid

To Sid. Pouring GD a cold one since 2002.

[pacalo]

46. Unrec.

Just kidding.

[m-lekktor]

47. I appreciate his anti woo and pope criticism stuff!

Politically he is more of a party and politician loyalist than I am so I would by an annoyance to him, one of "the right people to piss off". I am an issues person and don't care too much about politicians or party loyalty though I always end up voting all DEM, complaining all the way to the voting booth. : ) Also, I don't mind the people I often disagree with on here and don't put anybody on ignore. For me, everybody with all the different opinions and different personality types are part of the charm of this place for me. If i didn't like it here I would just move on, it's only a discussion board.

So welcome back, Sid Dithers!

[treestar]

49. Haha

Welcome back Sid!

[betsuni]

50. El Sid -- I'm a fan.
