... morons to continue cluttering up the board with their pathetic whining and their petty insults... 

Hmmm... Interesting... I wonder how you would classify your post then?

Indignant grumbling, of course. I see your point, though.

Still... I don't believe it was the obvious pointlessness and insulting nature of their posts that got them banned so much as it was how they insisted on posting their insults every other second. Surely if you've been to the board and saw the trolls' posts you know what I'm talking about.

You make a few good points, Gabrielle.  All things being equal, I agree that it's better not to edit other ppl's posts.  I would be more inclined to delete the post or move it to a dead thread forum.

I don't agree with editing a persons post period, which is why I said something. Even one that is a personal attack on myself I don't edit. Let the world see this person for what they really are.

Yet you ban them anyways... Funny thing is the worst I have seen here is a edit to the person's post to make it more exceptable, not an outright ban.

So how is your way any better?

Yes. The administrators should have allowed those morons to continue cluttering up the board with their pathetic whining and their petty insults. After all, they're only annoying, and they're only wasting people's time, right? And time is hardly an important thing for those of us with lives.

Instead of banning them, the administrators should have let them continue on as they were, and the administrators should have wasted their time and energy editing the flamers' many posts to make them more "exceptable". Congratulations, by the way, on inventing a new way to spell "acceptable".

Edit: See below.

"Veritas credo something" is another. Veritas=Truth, credo=belief, more or less.

I'm pretty sure the last word is "oculus", which means "eye".

"Vita mortis careo"

vita: life
mortis: death.
careo/cario: if it's careo, then it's "be without, be deprived of, lack, want"; if it's cario, it's probaby a perversion of "caries", which means "rotten".
life, death, decay

"Scio didicti hecta"

Scio: to know
didicti: either an alteration of "didico" (to be told) or "dicto" (to say often), or even a bizarre combination of the two.
hecta: might be weird form of "aequitas", which means "justice, fairness"
to know, to be told, justice

"Incantus pulcher imperium"

incantus: Non-existant form of "incanto", which means "to enchant"
pulcher: beauty
imperium: power to command, authority
enchant, beauty, authority

Eh... I don't remember any others...

I never thought that Irenicus raped Imoen... I mean, what's the point of having concubines if you just rape your experiments? Irenicus is too logical for that.

When the dryads said, "He has used you as we," I don't think they meant it literally... Personally, I've always believed that Imoen was mentally raped rather than sexually, and that maybe Irenicus was searching for something in the innocence of her mind rather than her body to "instill emotion".
