Andrew, I have an urgent question.

This is no big worry for me, just normal moderation work and discussion.  Certainly not anything that is going to get me so distracted I get killed.  Nothing has distracted me that much.  Worrying about Katie and the baby was probably my biggest concern, until little Andy was born.

In total, our reinforced Bn has lost 7 Marines.  None of those were from my company.  We have even been lucky enough not to have any serious injuries in my company, which is amazing, because I think, overall, we are over 20 or so there.

My Marines are fine.  I had one who worried me with obvious signs of stress, but he saw the Chaplain, all of the other Marines kept an eye on him, and he is doing well.

And watching the board is pretty easy.  There are a good number of moderators who take care of most trolls before I ever see them.  A funny aside to that too:  Velvet Brotha dropped in to dump hate posts on the comments system about a week ago, so I banned his address from there (I usually just ban them from the bbs).  It was a few months since he was blocked.  That dude has issues, if he cannot let it go after this long.

Look, The entire sendich thing WAS a joke that got out of hand. I am sorry about the disruption that I caused on the site. I promise, it won't happen again.

My friend explained that he was trying to tell me that he was on the site by doing all of the strange posts. I couldn't tell that he was on the site as I was doing something important could only get on when it was out of the way.

Now that I have explained to him about the multiple name rule, I think he realised what might have made him get banned. (We both suspected it because he tried to get onto the board and it said "forbidden") If he gets on, he swears he won't do it again.

Thanks for your time, Andrew.

You know Jack kinda reminds me when I first came here. I was fifteen and this was my first message board and I was a little overeager  about posting stuff. Not as often as Jack but I guess Jack has some good ideas. (But I never did a bunch of large spaces in between speaking parts)

I think he's not a troll but more like a goblin or an imp with no bad intentions (but I'm a little naive so I dunno just my opinion)

Really? I'm flattered.

Although I was thinking more of a zombie than an imp...
