A Conversation for Discussions Relating to the Lifetime Ban of Quincy
Don't Ban Quincy
The H2G2 Editors Posted Jan 21, 2002
Just FYI, we've asked Quincy for permission to reproduce our correspondence with him on h2g2 (we've now received permission from Satyagraha to do the same - see the Satyagraha Conversations for the link). As soon as we receive it, we'll publish them.

FYI we have now published the full correspondence between Quincy and the Editors here:

We only received permission to publish these today, which is why they are appearing now.

Hi everyone.
Due to the large amount of contributions to the discussion of whether Quincy should be banned from h2g2, we're going to spend part of tomorrow discussing it in the office, and will post up our decision then. This is a day later than promised, but we think it is important to read and digest all the h2g2 and private communications on the subject before making our decision.
The decision on Satyagraha's account will also be announced tomorrow, a week after the transgressions process was put into operation.

New here, have been trying to discover the facts about this legendary lekz character. Am following the transgressions procedure with interest.
Thought I'd set up a big coffee and donuts table for the office staff as they mill through the ever increasing correspondence connected with lekz

If you are new here, why not try reading something that is more representative of the community. The H2G2 Post is a good place to start.

*tempted to make a joke comparing White_Rabbit with Lucy from "Twin Peaks," due to the coffee & donuts table, but no one would get it*

Careful, White Rabbit: a newbie adept at smileys could be construed as a manifestation (personifestation?) of LeKZ...
Since I've never seen 'Twin Peaks', and I can't drink (caffeinated) coffee anymore, and I never much cared for doughnuts (too sweet), I guess all I can do is to make one last comment on this 'transgression' process before the decision is announced.
We have been told several times that the PTB don't care if a banned researcher comes back under an new identity, as long as they behave themselves . But it appears that Quincy and Satyagraha were suspended primarily because they came under simple suspicion for being one of the LeKZ (the charges of "flame war" and offering "medical advice" re: Quincy have been deemed trumped-up by many, including those who aren't considered a part of the Mindless Zombies of LeKZ.)
So it is this juxtaposition of statement and action that, to me, would be the most useful resolution to come out of this past week's postings.
Thank you. I'll just head over to the table with the Dr. Pepper, the tortilla chips and the habanero salsa (truly the breakfast of the higher powers...)

*follows 7rob7 to the Dr. Pepper and Chips and Salsa like a Mindless Zombie, almost forgetting to nod in complete agreement with whatever was just 7said7*
Yeah, which is it? Banned researchers who behave are ok, or they're just ok as long as they're not LeKZ?
You *really* can't get Dr. Pepper in Africa. You really just can't.

Good catch - I thought they were testing us to see who was paying attention.

What exactly is all this about. I've read all the banning notices and the don't seem to say anything. Who is Letz? What did she do? Where have my conversations with Q and WFG gone?

the autist formerly known as flinch Posted Jan 23, 2002
is there a "Discussions Relating to the Lifetime Ban of LetZ" pages?

Oh you had to ask...

Don't try to absorb it all at once: there's over 1500 posts in the 'Lifetime Suspension' thread alone. And probably twice as many emotions...

What, if someone asks you what crack is, you pass him the pipe?
Run, Flinch, run! You don't want to know! You'll end up looking like us! *points to scars, wrinkles, tatoos, rashes, extra fingers and toes, membership cards in strange societies, etc, etc*
but, technically, 'Intelligence' [sic] comes before 'Lifetime Suspension'... might as well do things in order.

Look, I'd've thought it was obvious: since we don't reproduce, we have to recruit...
C'mon, Flinch... such a pretty boy... Do you like the candy? There's more candy *and* a puppy in the back of the van... let's just open the door and you can climb on in...
