The OP that I responded to joined the board over a decade ago. He's not a newcomer. You've completely missed the joke.
You introduced reputation to the discussion with those oh so topical Pauly Shore comments (which were particularly funny as they immediately followed a suggestion to get new material). I'm not telling you I'm important here and should be treated with any kind of deference, but I do have an established and shameful posting history which is well documented, and the irony of a new member telling me how I'm being perceived and warning me of the reputation I'm earning was not lost on me. Again, you've missed the point.
Speaking of useless and misguided battles, the fight not to be silenced has got to top the list. Who is silencing you and how are they doing it? Whoever they are, they are failing miserably. You're all TBDers now. You're not being forced to wear a scarlet letter. The only way I or anyone else would know who is a former member of BBMB is if you continue to self-identify as one and #BBMBLivesMatter at every inconsequential joke.
