    Of course there are those who don't think they have to rely on intellect because they have an ongoing converesation with God or at the very least go read the Ensign and conference talks. This gives them the ability to tell others what they should think, because after all it is how God thinks.

    Edit: I tried, no one bit. I guess no thin skin folks are here.
    '71 is such a sandbagger. Tries to come off as slower old guy, then he throws a 'whom' into the message, completely ruining his rep.

    We all know he's the guy from the Dos Equis commericals

          Oh yeah, and please leave your girly mags in the bathroom when I come to visit.
          If I had to guess, I am going all in: BYU71 has one of of those jars of blue liquid in his bathroom....the one where you put your black plastic combs.

            I edited it for you.

              This isn't a defense of Lingo, just amusement at what I view to be a pretty significant collective overreaction.
              I'm shocked. I actually agree with Indy.

              I didn't see a big difference between Lingo and 75% of this board (myself included in this group.)

              It seems like a better solution would have been to force a certain poster to put Lingo on ignore. My guess is this ban gives Lingo exactly what he wanted, attention and satisfaction in knowing he could push people's buttons.

                My personal philosophy is that, if you can't act like an adult on your own, I don't think the committee needs to waste their time holding your hand. Now, whether we should be subscribers to a three-strikes-you're-out or fool-me-once-shame-on-you philosophy before asking you to move on, is something I'm more open to discussing.

                  I think Lingo got his three strikes, I'm just curious how many strikes one gets as a provoker?

                    • Hi Lingo,

                      I woke up this morning wanting to PM you just to check in and ask about work, etc. This isn't as good 'cause you can't reply, but I'm guessing you'll at least see it. I hope life is okay without CUF and that you'll have many more riverboat business trips to take you far away from here. I have no idea if you'll really want to come back once you get away, but my best guess is that there really are third chances. Whether or not they're worth taking is a question only you can answer. You probably know more about all this than I do, though.

                      Best,
                      RB

                      • I just noticed the chat room feature in Tapatalk, and it seems Lingo posted in it a few weeks ago, lol. I wonder what moniker he uses here these days.

                          This made me chuckle reading this thread. More alike than he knew!

                          • Ten years hence and I can barely remember what Lingo said to me to get banned. Something about dying from my gallbladder maybe, but I don't care anymore. If the EC were to un-ban him in a jubilee spirit, I would welcome him back with open arms. Also, ten years? Good grief, time flies by as I age.

                            • He was unbanned a while ago but nobody knows how to get hold of him to tell him.
