DUmmy Skimmer Drops The Hammer

[GOBUCKS]

After looking at Vinnie's whining post in the ATA forum, I ran across this one. It's like the prototype of what it must be to deal with
DUmp democrats day in and day out.

DUmmy Yavinnumber leads off with a typically whiny, spineless complaint:

May I Make A Suggestion: How About An Appeals Process?
Yes, we have to have rules, and when a DUer violates certain rules, they get banned. I understand that. However, as in life, there are shades of gray. There are situations where it's not so cut and dried, and I do think that it's unfair to pressure Skinner to make a decision.

For those cases where it's borderline, why not have an appeals process? How about a petition for re-instatement which needs a certain number of signatures, then an appeals process, and finally a vote by the DU community.

We would not have to do this for everybody that got banned, and it would be under Skinner's discretion to grant an appeal process.

However, we would at least have something in place for those shades of gray situations.

DUmbasses constantly make the mistake of thinking Skimmer cares a whit for their opinions.
They seem to believe the monkey island is a club, and Skimmer is just another monkey on the island.


So, over and over, Skimmer has to drop the hammer:

1. We have an appeals process, albeit an informal one.

I can say with certainty that we would never have an appeals process based on someone's ability to collect
lots of signatures, or a vote by the DU community.

The DLC isn't paying $kimmer nearly enough for the job he does, keeping teh Stoopid contained on the Island of Misfit ****-ups as securely as he does.  His job is like all the worst parts of being a Kindergarten teacher with none of the upside; and instead of a class of 20, $kimmer has about 100 times that.

Ain't that the truth.

Ain't that the truth!  They should be paying him hazardous (to mental health) duty pay.

But, I would submit, the same aggregate maturity level is present iun both.

Still, the kindergartners would be preferable because they at least show up with a generally-positive attitude.

From Yavinnumber:

Yeah, from what I've seen, Skinner's decision making process goes something like this:

Dummy make a complete fool of himself in the process of posting.
Skinner checks the posts to see if he or his partner and sidekick are made to look even more foolish
Skinner checks the offending poster-Dummy to see if it's a donor of some means.
Skinner ponders whether the Dummy-offender is likely to make additional contributions to his vacation slush fund.

Answer YES to the last and the Dummy gets off with a severe wrist slap, maybe a timeout.
Answer NO to it and the offending Dummy is an ex-Dummy, consign to the ash heap of Skin's Island mass grave.

Some pressure, more like suffering from the weight of a Kleenex upon one's head. He doesn't call himself "SKINNER" because he used to be be a wagoneer with mule teams.

I didn't say that the kindergartners would be less preferable.  Moreso, actually.

How un-Democratic of him.

All I can say is, you go, Skins; you're the man.

I've always said--and I'm always happy to repeat it--it's rather presumptuous of the primitives to think they're as good as (and even better than) my fellow alum, which is utter nonsense.

And take naps if you give them chocolate milk.

It appears this request is premature, the White House has already patented it.

We the People: Announcing White House Petitions & How They Work
Posted by Macon Phillips on September 01, 2011 at 07:00 AM EDT
Something exciting is coming to WhiteHouse.gov. It's called We the People and it will significantly change how the public -- you! -- engage with the White House online.

Our Constitution guarantees your right to petition our government.  Now, with We the People, we're offering a new way to submit an online petition on a range of issues -- and get an official response.

We're announcing We the People before it's live to give folks time to think about what petitions they want to create, and how they are going to build the support to get a response.

When will it be live? Soon.  If you want to be the first to know when the system is available, sign up for an email alert.
