Hey folks,

I'm one of the Journal-World online staff members. We've banned the "Jimmy" user from participating because we got many complaints about how inappropriate his comments were.

Now this is a question that couldn't possible turn into a Bush/Kerry debate could it?

To answer the question, 10 minutes is the bare minimum. I've had to go from JRP to Dole in 10 mins and that's tough. 15 mins would be nice..

Jonas, consumer1......

I'm under the distinct impression Jimmy got booted out of here too! If you go back and look at his earlier posts from a week ago.......They're all gone! Hmm......

However (just thinking out loud).........If he got booted, under the name "Jimmy Olsen"........Couldn't he just come back using a different moniker?? How does that work when a person is "forever banished"?? Does the LJ World track IP's? Is that how it works? I mean, I'm sure if he came back under a different name, we'd all recognize his "venomous" tone/rant. Wouldn't we? I think I would. His posts had a rather distinct way/sound about them!

Jimmy was too insulting. His positions on Bush was one thing.....but his personal attacks (and in some cases, downright vulgar attacks) on other posters here was what did him in.

My first semester of college I had to go from Melott to Smith hall, and that was stretching it. Since then, I've learned to consider the building locations when I'm making my schedule.

Of course, if Bush is re-elected, I've heard he's going to make legislation that will cause the buildings to be even farther apart than before, supposedly so terrorists couldn't hit two of them at once. But we all know it's just so we miss class and flunk out. He's afraid of intelligent people who can see what a chickenhawk, fascist, terrible, horrible, very bad president he is. He's going to cut the bus service too, to save money for his tax cuts for his rich buddies. Good luck getting to class if he gets re-elected.

(just for you rohdek)

I don't want to sound "conspiratorial".... but do you suppose that there ever really was a "Jimmy Olsen"?? The other day, I think it was the "Original_Bob" (Correct me if I'm wrong, Bob!) who brought up the idea/possibility that "Jimmy" may have been a fictitious LJ World plant/character. I mean think about it for a minute.....Jimmy Olsen was/is a reporter for a newspaper, right? Well, the LJ World is a newspaper..... Coincidence? What a perfect name for a fictitious character---asssuming it was LJ World inspired!

Hmmm....something to think about..........

Hi-Jinks: Actually, there was a Bruce Wayne and a Clark Kent who spewed vileness in the same light as Jimmy, and sure enough they got booted too. Don't know how that works, but it's my guess that if he does come back, and continues the same behavior, his new moniker will get kicked out as well.

I have my doubts about lulu being an ljworld employee. She posts on the Readers Reaction forum as well, and I seem to recall just a personal e-mail being tagged to her. Not enough to conclusively say, of course, but enough for me to doubt the idea.

Me: Thanks! Always good to be appreciated.

Yeah, LJ World, I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my brother Original Bob! I'm not really into conspiracies! I was just speculating!

Boy! Things sure are nice and cozy around here now that Jimmy's gone! We're all one great, big, happy family! Aren't we, everyone?

Original Bob, Jonas, consumer1, you're all coming over to my place this weekend for that big BBQ I got planned? Yes?
