LRPD deletion request
"It's a lot less messy in here when Karsten's absent..."
Is a bit painful now.
Thanks, Ben

I *have* called him
He has no interest in coming back for the indefinite future.

It's there... Regardless.
If Karsten wants to be a chum...
No matter what he is welcome back.
It is his feeling that are hurt.
His wound to heal.
No removal vote from me.

This isn't about HIS feelings, you moron
It is about mine.
I got the LRPD and was not happy. Many others would feel the same. Whether or not Karsten can come back, he isn't here, and many of us don't appreciatiate painful reminders of that fact.
Please lay aside any upset that you might have with Karsten, and see this from my point of view. A friend got in a stupid fight with other friends. As a result someone that I like most of the time is no longer hanging out with the old crowd. I don't like casual (albeit accidental) jokes about how good it is that he is absent, and I really don't think it appropriate for one of the people who was most involved in the fight to defend said (now tasteless) jokes.
Got it? Ben

Re: This isn't about HIS feelings, you moron
That's pretty much how I feel about it - and now, I can be blunt with friends when they are fooing up (what are friends for?) so I say Karsten should think of his friends' feelings and get back here so we can know what's on his mind.

I am of 2 minds on the subject
One agrees with Ben in that what was a joke while present seems in awfully poor taste while he's not, geven the circumstances surrounding the departure.
The other side feels, that while this rift continues, Karsten (whether he hates me now or not) is still part of the DNA makeup of this community...and to "purge" history of this seems (also) somehow wrong.
I wish him nothing but glad tidings at the moment, regardless of what happened prior. Both sides were right, both sides were wrong. Friends forgive and forget. For some it apparently takes longer than others.

We should kidnap him and drag him to The Party.

Concur
Nobody did anything *vicious* (because that would be hard for any 'neutral' to forgive) and while there was a certain logic to the chosen remedy; the haste with which that was applied - probably still grates, in some. And 'precipitate action' is inconsistent with the certainty, "friends-Do-screwup" (only bots are immune from this 'Do').
So currently, this LRPD violates the Prime Directive: that when persons' names are mentioned - it is only in Good, pref. arcane Fun {a rather large discretion, there; so far unbreached, I think}. [Ashton still Has "your other car" BTW]
I suggest: quarantine this one, for the duration.. which many hope is - a finite time, and not that ugly indeterminate thing.

Seconded
Quarantine it.
Here's hoping we can have a coming out party for it soon.

I wouldn't be the first to say:
"Be strict in what you emit, and liberal in what you accept."
Nor would I be the first to apply that to interpersonal relationships as well as computer programs.

I vote to muzzle the LRPD on this one.
