Ahem. Let's hear what the self-proclaimed resident expert on everything
said about posting limits back during the period when they were being debated
as a way to get HER and two other idiots to stop making 100-150 posts per
week and STFU:
If anybody thinks Barry would be so insistently--
and *nastily*--complaining about the top posters
here if they were critical of TM and supportive of
Barry, rather than supportive of TM and critical
of Barry, I have a nice bridge you might want to
have a look at. - Judy Stein, Nov 3, 2006
In other words, making 150+ posts a week was just FINE with her, when she
was making that many to stalk other people, as she's done consistently for
almost 20 years. But when Richard cleverly turns the table on her and the
other Mean Girls, suddenly *she's* the one trying to sell the posting limits
bridge to other people.
Can you say Karma, dude? I think you can. :-)
Here she is proposing the *exact same strategy* currently being used
against her so effectively by Richard (bold emphasis mine):
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but it's awfully
convenient for Barry that the three top posters
just happen to be among his chief critics here--
so he can try to intimidate us into silence under
cover of complaining about how much we post.
It would be fun to see what he'd do if we
were to limit our posts to criticisms of him.

Richard didn't even have to do that. Turns out he has *plenty* to say,
about many topics, pretty much all of them more interesting than Judy Stein.
All he had to do was up his quotient of posts criticizing Judy and she goes
batshit crazy, and now (ironically) is one of the people screaming for
posting limits again.
The bottom line here is pretty simple, and pretty clear-cut: NO ONE but
Judy's clone Ann seem to be the least bit bothered by Richard turning the
tables and doing to her what she's done to so many others for so many years.
NO ONE is rushing to her defense. Instead, pretty much everyone is kinda
*enjoying* seeing her get a taste of her own medicine.
Richard has, in fact, given the rest of us who've had to live with this
woman's insanity for so long a kind of Christmas present, letting us see her
demonstrate how badly she handles someone doing to her what she does to
others. I therefore n ominate Richard as FFL Santa of the Year. :-)

I have to agree, except I'd rather make it a 75-post limit.
However, I don't think there's any chance of the limit being reimposed.
Alex is very unlikely to want to take it back on, and Rick's too busy to
even read the posts here except once in a blue moon. Plus which, apparently
Neo has made managing a group nearly impossible. As long as the group pretty
much runs itself, that doesn't matter, but if it involves removing and
then reinstating posting privileges on a fairly regular basis, it's likely to
be a huge hassle.
But something really does have to be done about Richard. Either he's
deliberately trying to kill the group, or he's developed some kind of mental
problem that keeps him from seeing what he's doing--maybe the onset of
dementia.
I didn't think I would hear myself say this (and I haven't because I'm
writing it) but I am formally asking Rick for the reinstatement of posting
limits. At least at 50 I might, just might, be able to stick it out with
the, shall we say, obsessive troller Richard. He is nothing if not
persistent in his need to drive this forum into the basement. FFL will end
some day
but it would be nice if it wasn't because of Ricky. He's just not worth it.
