Further post remarking that the meaning of my name in Greek/Latin/other language from a unrelated country/era actually means man/woman.

So it fits that it is a male/female name in my country and it's the rest of the planet being wrong using it as a female/male name.

Followed (or preceded) by an apology for not being aware of this GeekList until a year and a half after it was begun. Optionally, with a preemptive disclaimer of having dutifully read the many other responses before responding oneself.

Comment from moderator, copied to all posters' PM accounts, to say that calling another user a 'shill' is offensive.

Comment from moderator realising that he has used the word 'shill' himself, causing a feedback loop.

Comment featuring Youtube link to the Knights that say Ni saying 'it'.

Comment saying that it's better over at the road warrior free-for-all that is F:AT.

Overly abusive response to poster, by poster who was being chided.

Vulgar obscenity.


Chastisement from moderator. Directive to "reign it in."


Censorship.

Explanation that BGG is a private business, not a government website.


Mention that BGG is "Aldie's House" and obligatory story demonstrating that you wouldn't want a stranger to do something unsavory in your home.


Another complaint about too many nested quotations.
