Free Radicals

Ever notice that occasionally, a user breaks free from the tech forums, behaves erratically on the OT forums, and then is banned in a glorious reaction?

Sometimes this plays out over months, sometimes weeks, and very rarely over a few days.

Free Radicals?

Shouldn't a discussion about the Obama cabinet be in PARF?

I just fired a warning shot.

He kinda reminds me of a new guy at work -- was in our company about a week before he started telling everyone how things are supposed to get done, and what he expects from everyone. Note that he wasn't a manager - just another worker bee like the rest of us.

It is always better to get the lay of the land before opening your mouth too much...

As for free radicals -- anti-oxidants work well against.

better to keep your mouth closed , and have everyone think you a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

Free Radicals...better than jailed ones.

You need free radicals to get reactions going in a certain direction, heck without free radicals life wouldn't have happened!

My first day here, I made the mistake of not doing that. I already knew a few of the people here and we all joke and laugh so I figured I could just be myself right out of the gate.
Been here about 20 mins and I bring in a Caddy with an AC problem. Well John, the big biker dude at the other end of the shop, looks over to me and asks, what ya doing with the Caddy. My response was, "Fixing your come back b*&ch" I was joking, and it was all meant in good fun, well John didn't think it so funny. He stewed in it for about 30 seconds and started stomping right at me hollering, I got your comeback right here. (you know where he was pointing). The poor shop foreman who is about half my size, and John is just as big as me, just layed his head down, not going to get between the two of us.
It;s funny now and John and I have become good friends but, yeah, new guy, uh huh.

I don't know. They tend to leave things in disarray.

BTW, I'm still waiting for my Free Tibet. I could one of those.

The moderators here are horribly incompetent. In ten years, they've failed to ban me.

The title of this thread got me all excited. I thought someone was giving away free Radicals.
