In as much as he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way - myself included at times - I do miss Lanny. Especially for his epic wars with Bicycle Bruce Dowbiggin on HF. He was a good poster who made too many mistakes.
Fortunately, I've only made one similar mistake in my time here. I have been banned at a few other places in my time, however. Two of my favorites were getting kicked off of skyscraperpage after an Eastern Canadian administrator decided that pointing out that Western Alienation actually did exist interfered with his utopian view of Canada under a Liberal government. I also got IP banned from CNNSI's forums a few years ago after taking part in a rebellion against some incredibly restrictive posting rules. In short, saying "F this" was a bannable offence given what "F" stood for. The group I posted with all got blocked, then moved to the completely unused forum of the Columbus Post Dispatch of all places. Total anarchy. I was once offered a job as their webmaster when I sent an email pointing out some problems that were happening on those forums.
I've also been an admin/mod at a few places... which will drop some jaws, I'm sure.
I actually miss Cerebral. He was one of the few Oiler/Canuck fans I actually liked.
