Only 7 warning points in twenty years?  What a boy scout!

Funny story - it took SIX years to get my first one, and only because I had a companion who knew me from another board, who resented me moderating him.  It's fine, we are good frenemies, but he reported me so much that I got my first point in October 2007.    My second one took TEN years to show up.  After that, Charles was very aggressive about minor things called 'topic bumping' 'thread jacking' and use of quotes (Who knows why?  He and I moderated together and had looong topics via chat but he soured on me is my best guess.)  for which I got six warnings from 2017 to 2020.

Really I would protest all of these and if Greg removed them as a 20th anniversary present that would be nice.  @Greg ?

The thing is - the trolls and conspiracy frogs are actually more correct than they themselves realize.  But the source of the conspiracies isn't WEF or SHADO or KAOS ... it's the dollars in their pockets.  

Make money illegal, and move to the Star Trek economy and your problems will disappear my friends....

Greg,

And Michael - you both. And Charles Anthony - all deserve recognition.

I remember newspapers and the Internet of the late 1990s. 

Like small mammals after the asteroid, you have ensured that life continues.

What happened to bcsapper? I hear he was driven off the forum by a dastardly post deleter.

Congrats Michael. Nice to read your posts most logical and with moderate political views.
