Despite my recommendation Lys is not banned

[Deleted]

Maybe we should all just excitedly agree with every post Lys makes from now on? Make it an in-board competition and a winner judged by who has the maddest response. Standard procedure, first person who see's the comment from Lys posts is in its own thread, and off we go!

PS sorry IIOY, ever since I heard a comedian say "oops, farted. And that one had lumps in it" I have been laughing my ass off. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to use it.

I still like the rainbow dash idea.

I am finishing some leftover turkey and stuffing. I love Thanksgiving.

Now everyone with food safety concerns knows not to listen to me in "would you eat this?" threads.

I guess I've never realized how racist lys was. Nor have I thought about where she lives or who she is in real life. Or if she's a he. I haven't blocked lys, but I haven't read anything she's posted in years. YEARS. It's like if my cat started trying to talk politics with me. "LOL, yes. Meow! You're almost like a real person!"

Lys is almost like a real person! She sounds like an 80-year-old who never went to school. NO ONE SHOULD CARE EVER. The fact that there are now 9 pages on her is completely ridiculous. It's like when people complain that all the Kardashians want is attention, then go on and on about it... IS THIS REAL LIFE? Don't feed the fucking troll.

And it's 10 pages on my screen. 

BUNNY PUSHED IT TO 10 PAGES by complaining that this post was too long.  Tell me that isn't hiliarious.

I like reeve's suggestion and am going to start enthusiastically agreeing with anything lys says.

wait...why? Has your turkey been on the counter since last Thursday or something? Its only been a week!

I had free pizza. I love webinar days.

[heyjude]

Since she's not getting banned I'm just going to continue to use her posts as an example why all democrats must vote in 2016. She's actually a GREAT reminder.

since I saw the photo of you in formal wear my vision of you has completely changed. You are HOT girl.

I don't think matt bomer is really big gay carl material. But he is fucking hot in formal wear. Maybe more like cam on modern family? Nathan lane?

I'VE GOT IT. Rock Hudson.

Well, people have told me that poultry should be eaten or frozen within a couple of days of when it's cooked.  My turkey has been in the 'fridge, so according to those people I'm living dangerously.  But obviously I'm not too worried about it myself.  Mmmm, turkey and stuffing!

To be fair, a number of us are now talking about what we had for lunch.

Is it time to whip out a "never change, CEP?"

Eh. Lys is a practical numbers lady. If she saw that 75% of CEP didn't want her to participate here, I think she would get the message that she either needs to clean up her game or not participate any longer.

You're giving her too much credit.  This discussion has been had before.  Heck, in 2009 she earned the nickname "Pi", so at LEAST five years of this.  She's not leaving any time soon.

And I remember people saying the overuse of PI was bullying lys and uncalled for.

People are so weird.  Poultry when raw is more likely to carry icks than raw beef I suppose.  But that in no way correlates to it being more likely to grow icks once it's cooked.

My understanding is that leftover rice is one of the riskiest leftovers to eat. 

I go by color, texture and smell - if none have changed, eat that shit.  Also when in doubt microwave the shit out of it.

I'm not defending Lys.  I'm just extremely cautious on banning.

I'm cautious of banning, too. We've been here how many years and this is the first time I've actively moved to ban a poster that wasn't obvious chinese spam.

The only thing i have to add to this post is that i thought this said chinese sperm...and I got really confused

I don't remember anything about Lys and pi, but I sure do wish I had leftover pie to go with my leftover turkey for lunch!

Yes.  We must protect her delicate sensibilities.

I don't care what anyone says, "pi" was amazing and perfect.

[josieposy]

I have completely forgotten the pi reference too FWIW.

...obviously you just need to get a smarter cat.

Because Dexter and I have long, engrossing conversations all the time.

Chicken noodle soup and potato chips. NOM. Perfect on this stupidly cold day which I thought would be milder thus wore not-boots.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Since she's apparently not going anywhere, I'm going to quote everything she says and change the wording.

[ringstrue]

I'm bored now and you all are making me watch old episodes of Rehab Addict.

Couple of days?! And just yesterday I read that pregnant ladies are not supposed to eat soft serve ice cream. Pfft.

I also had no idea that there was such a strong anti-lys sentiment. Her opinions are pretty far out for this group and it always seemed like people generally ignored her. I'm surprised she bothers to continue.

^o)  who spouted THAT nonsense?

  who spouted THAT nonsense? 

It's a listeria thing, soft serve is made from pasteurized milk (and emulsified oils - at least at Dairy Queen it's more oil than milk) and so it's usually fine.  However, I guess if someone didn't clean the tubes well, they worry you could get listeria... that's the same for a milk factory that is bottling and doesn't sanitize enough.

[debatethis]

I don't think lys should be banned, but I really like the idea of a word filter for any time she posts.

You might not be able to post a photo, but plugin apps exist for forums incl proboards for profanity filters. Perhaps there could be a vote whether the word "lys" gets flagged on this board as profanity and all her posts are censored. I'm not really familiar with HTML but it might be possible.

Beyond that, there is no question in my mind that anyone who's posted personal identifying information should be banned. Doxxing is never ok. That's a pretty universal truth across any web forum.

Bliss can make an entire chicken last 10 days.

That is the only contribution I have to this thread.

I think ladydisdain's point is that the tolerance of her random interjections is less, because it's the only game in town, but I could be wrong.  It's more noticeable, since no one else is posting a dissenting opinion and people do come here for debate, in theory.

But see, that makes it sound like we are all bobbing our heads and agreeing with each other and she's the only one interjecting so it feels stark. But that's not the case. We argue over everything; her interjections add nothing and are often unrelated to the topic. That would feel jarring regardless of the number of dissenting opinions.

As a lone dissenter much of the time, I definitely think we suffer from groupthink on this board.  I am glad to see that there is a willingness to acknowledge that to some extent as well.  I would offer my opinion more often, but I dislike being piled on, and watching others being piled on.  I either need to step away or stick up for myself knowing it won't work, so I disengage.  I've never left here because I have actually learned a lot over the years, softened my position on some issues, hardened on others and generally feel it has contributed to my development.  But I find the call to ban someone with different opinions incredibly disturbing.  I do think that is why the block function exists, but frankly, I don't even believe in blocking.  I think it is helpful to see all the points of view out there, especially those you disagree with most strongly.
