Not fair to say that suggestions on site improvement are ignored. I'd say about 10% of the suggestions are implemented (maybe 5%).  All the rest I definitely take into account, but for various reasons they don't get implemented - not enough time, not enough expertise, not practical, not really improvements, downside is too large. I feel bad when there are clear improvements we don't make, and with time I'd like to implement all the good ideas.

You thought Medford Tim and I were sock puppets...for months.

I cant take credit for the bytchbang victory, my wife a Doctor Phil type...( unfortunately she never got rich with quack pop medicine)read his posts for me.

She said he had real abandonment and lost sibling issues ...probably by the overbearing father...  He was most likely an orphan late in childhood and  passed from family to family as an unwanted child. That fueled his maniacal fixation with abortion and that he  compensated with an over developed self image and a low tolerance for criticism...or differing opinions, all of which he took as personal attacks.Of course those fueled personal attacks therefore reinforcing that behavior. Based on that and his frequent Im going to quit TYT rants he was probably unsuccessful at personal relationships, jobs and other tasks choosing to leave or quit before he was "abandoned" first.

She said either ignore him or take away something he cherished and he'll leave...and the goofy handle he used came to mind. Bytchbanq was born. He freaked and thought someone had hacked his account and stole his "identity" and his personal information.  His name by the way was B. B. Brown...the idiot had a blog and that was in his bio.

Of course she could have been totally wrong ,BB may have been a plain old thin skinned redneck asshole. I may have just got lucky..either way I'll take it.

So I openly admit to using  sock puppets for strategic reasons only only to thwart the spread of conservative raving lunatics flamers. First they knock off small sites like TYT then, like dominoes, they spread ...JFK said it best:

Now, we have been able to hold this line against this internal subversion by the Conservative raving lunatics flamers, as well as the external threat of Conservative invasion, because for many years the TYT has assisted these progressive websites in meeting their own problems. We are assisting the people of TYT. We are assisting websites from Air America which are faced with staggering problems. If we stop helping them, they will become ripe for internal subversion and a Conservative raving lunatics flamers.
