I don't know about any suspension, but I do recall the comment and calling him out for it. Yes, it was offensive. I really appreciate his contributions here, though I frequently disagree with him. But sometimes his point gets lost in the tone of his comments which can be unnecessarily acerbic.Pointedstick wrote: I heard through private messages (aka the Dark Forum) that Reub got a 30-day ban for something particularly incendiary that he said about someone's child.

You have your moments. But I don't ever recall you suggesting that the son of another member of the forum was contemplating murder.MachineGhost wrote:If Reub is "unnecessarily acerbic", I'm awful curious how you would describe my fine self.Ad Orientem wrote: I don't know about any suspension, but I do recall the comment and calling him out for it.
