now... some of the people i have known and grown to like over the last 10 years or so ... are gone.....
and so are some of the ones i have gotten to know and dislike in the last three months or so .... are gone with them
And most of the former were driven away by the latter. Most of the latter were swept out in the 'big boot'. (Along with too many of the former, in my own opinion. But it is what it is.)
what are the chances that they will reconsider and let byfones be bygones ? who knows
In all but a few cases, I'd bet everything I have, on that being the case.
I think we'll see most of those names showing back up again, next week or so.
if i had to bet.... they'd dump the tavern before they'd give in to a boycott
Take it for what it's worth... I was very VERY concerned that that was already going to happen. Especially after reading some of the vindictive, incendiary, totally clueless crap that has passed for 'discussion' of the issue.
I am not certain that it hasn't already happened, and all that is left is the doing of it. Nor am I certain it won't still happen, if it hasn't.

We have been here before, and that threat has been put on the table before. It has been a real threat every time.
That same threat was made less than 6 weeks ago, and I am certain that most have already forgotten it. It was, and remains just as serious a threat as at any other time.
Continue to throw gas on the fire, and you'll only burn the tavern down...

As I said, the threat has been made before.
Each time, people calmed down.
For a while...
Then after a while everything went right back to hell in a handbasket.
After some of that, TPTB came back and took much more harsh actions. Then again, threatended the tavern.
People got calmer again, and then the cycle started all over again.
Each time, the action taken, has gotten more and more harsh, until now we have, what has just happened.
TPTB do not want calm... for a while. They want us to be civil and have at least a modicum of respect for each other... from... now... on...
I'm thinking that at some point, the cycle is going to get to the point where they have to do something again, and this time, instead of booting people with no explanation, the tavern will simply disappear, with no explanation.
And I think we are damn lucky that that hasn't already happened. I know it has already been pushed for...
It'll come as no surprise that I voted for the cooling off period.
