Right?

Nope. And "bowing out" or "leaving" aren't accurate descriptions.

Please can you tell us why MMD. I want to know if I still want to be here..

bb is great but why do people make such ze large fuss

he comes and goes, is part of the cycles of nature

MMD

I don't know why, no. Sorry. I know he was banned permanently. That's it. I looked through his posts and didn't see anything inflammatory today. I just saw his usual jibes and then a couple of really thoughtful posts

Bennyboy has said plenty of things that could be seen as ban worthy, but today he wasn't too bad.....
Why'd he get banned?

tellmemomma1966

guys stop talking about it here we'll get in trouble

annoy the mods instead, they love that :roll:

there is nothing to do but feel a bit sad and move on

MMD

Get in trouble for speaking of it? Well, that would be too creepy. Who would have the gall to threaten people for talking about BennyBoy being banned? How would someone phrase such a threat. Perhaps I'll find out.

How very small and disappointing it all is.

Here's to smaller and blander voices coming out from under their covers and out of their holes.

tellmemomma1966

the mods have a problem with public discussion of mod decisions. i don't agree with this, to be honest (lol irony) but it is so. we'll find out the next time one of them is here.

MMD

Well I suppose then that all of this will be bravely deleted. Very nice.

Allow me to usher in the new regime of toggle button posts:

option a) Yay! Bob is the bestest in every way!

option b) Yay! Bob is the bestest in every way, but I like _____ more than _____, but if you don't that's fine, I won't make a case for my views because that might bother you and plus I don't care enough about my views to think about them or explain them. And, also, I am not interested enough in you or anyone or anything else to challenge you to make a case for your views. Whatever!

Yay!

is kinda liberating posting things knowing that they'll be deleted within minutes

I got the impression BennyBoy was just saying goodnight, it's late over here. But if he has been banned then that's seriously x up. Can Bob fans tolerate no dissent or gentle ribbing of their views?

I saw Ben's last tara and thanks for all the fish post (timed at 22:13 BST). If he's banned, he's done something irreversible since then. If he has, I'm sorry - I'll miss his generosity and wit and poisoned barbs.

it's all gone wrong if he is banned forever

You're not wrong, Andy.

tellmemomma1966

will await official confirmation before declaring that it has, indeed, all gone wrong

How long has it been since blandness won in the ER world? Just a few hours I think. Feels like an eternity. I wonder if the new regime will require all posters to festoon their posts with smiley faces and paste stock phrases of mutual acceptance while avoiding any actual thought?

All hail blandness! And smiley faces.

I wasn't eye-rolling, I was shaking my head in disbelieve of the ignorance prevalent in this place. If Bob isn't relevant now, he never was. He's not a nostalgia act. As he himself has said, "Nostalgia is death." If he was nostalgic, he'd get a band to perfectly reproduce the sounds of those years that might sell best to most people, whatever they are. You (TMM) judge him saying it's not 2012 music, I mean who are you to judge? You'd rather he stopped playing? He happens to be alive and willing to perform, so what in your opion, or anyone's opinion here, should he be doing differently?

Today at school, my boyfriend's brother says to me... are you and my brother gonna get a VW bus and go to see Bob? I said, I don't get it...
He said, A VW bus was popular in the 60s... so to be like in the 60s

I said Bob Dylan hasn't been like the 60s since it was the 60s
