No. Way.

Doesn't it require unanimity of the Back-Room to reverse policy change?  I veto his return, anyway.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

The main languish forum is not the backroom

He's got to be able to yell at somebody.  Why do you think I still post here?

Ed's irregular reporting of the condition of his stool?

No.

To cheer on the Wildcats with me?
No.
And he'd better not cheer on the Wolverines, either.

Everyone cheers for the Wolverines, one game a year.

And you don't think that that has led to... problems?

The Minsky Moment

I see no harm in it, at the rate things are going, Warsaw will be overrun soon by rampaging hordes of homophobic Russian conscripts, so he will only have a few weeks of posting.

His return will contribute greatly toward the languish GDP, and will definitely help pull the per capita figure up. 

Ypo are mistaken. Martinus only contributes to our debt,
However I support his returen brecause off freedom and shit.
Every body derserve a second chance.
Even Martinus.

Hmm, Martinus is a rich lawyer who works for some kind of huge international firm, right?  My impression is that he is easily one of the five richest posters on this board.  I remember some sort of contest between BB and him about their pay, and I think Martinus won handily.

I think it was a contest with Alcibiades over net worth.

Alci subsists on the government's dime while investing pretty much his entire salary, while Marti is paid in Polish money, so I can see why it might have seemed competitive. He must be paid a lot of Polish money.

But Martinus works for a big international law firm, right?  He was briefly transferred to London or something, if I remember correctly.  The point being, that he must be paid in a sum that is competitive internationally.  Even if it is in Polish money, it must be a ton of Polish money that is still extremely attractive when converted to other currencies :mmm:
