What is an exile?

“Now the mods have to read each and every post of mine before they zap me. That’s awesome. In the past they would simply zap me and wipe the slate clean of my posts, leaving no trace.

Now, they zap me and only some of my posts. They leave the ones with the useful information. There are still a dozen up from previously banned handles. Is this place that desperate now that they’re allowing me back in partial form!?

That might turn me off altogether. I have to admit I enjoy the adversarial relationship we’ve honed over the last years.

This will be zapped, but don’t you worry, I’ll be back in 2 minutes and 45 seconds (amount of time it takes to register a new handle). “
