Should Marty be unbanned?

No - close the door and hammer it shut. Keep Languish Marty free.

Maybe - the current Marty break is good, let's keep it going. We can potentially examine a return at some future time.

Yes - Marty should return to languish in the near term.

Much needed is some clarification of what constitutes a bannable offense.

Although I suppose if the clarification were that anything goes, but Marty being Marty, he will be banned every once in a while on a whim, I could probably live with that.
In soccer, sometimes you get booked not for one dangerous tackle, but rather for a serious of merely bad tackles.  It's isn't any particular bad tackle that gets you booked, it's the entire series of them.

So what you are saying is that Martinus got banned because he kept tackling guys?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The good thing about Marty being here is I don't feel quite so dumb.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

marti might be obnoxious to some posters, but he isn't dangerous to the personal lives of anyone here. if few people take him seriously, what's the problem? that his posts annoy certain people with particular sensitivities? languish was originally created as a haven for people like that.

it's not like marti has threatened to contact the employers of languish posters about their internet activity. that's, imo, far worse than anything marti has ever done (including a drunkenly PMed "I wish you offed yourself")

plus, internet forums aren't exactly popular these days. why permanently banish extremely active posters when there's no real evidence that the active poster's comments are actually driving others from the forum?

I remember telling Martinus that kind and sensitive person was not appropriate language around here, but he had come to the terminology and culture of where such language belongs too recently and could not contain his exuberance. That was a matter of decorum and taste, though, rather than a concerned advisory seeking to prevent his banning. Languish used to pride itself on being the free and rough-around-the-edges alternative to EUOT、but seems to have become less so as members age and the number of posters fall off.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

I suggest a liberum veto for any Languishite on this issue and let hilarity ensue
