re "the child molestor", he was on PPP/TSW/OTW for so long because he had made friends over the years at tailgates, which is where he shared the details from his past that have been brought up to discredit him
re The_Douche, he was hear for a far shorter time before awakening the mythical mods. What you saw as tolerance was really disdain. A good number of PPP had The_Dude on ignore and others such as myself had him on an implicit ignore. And to be honest, I have you on the same list. I sometimes read The_Dude (as yours and Tibs) and sometimes I just kinda glance over, meh don't care, and move on to the next post. Sometimes I'd feed the troll but never pay much attention.
everyone is hungover from St Pattys
somebody better warn the moose
