Kruger, Suspended for 5 Days

Kruger, suspended...

User Attacks cause Heaven

To Weep for Five Days

The Offense against the August Administrative Personages occurred here, and have caused him to lose the Mandate of Heaven, coming so soon after the Moderator of the Middle Kingdom's admonition to cease his undisciplined ways. Appeals may be inscribed upon silk and burned in the proper ritual fashion in front of a jade statue of Ubermonkey, or alternately emailed to the Celestial Administrators' joint account.

I love you.

 

[Tait Ransom]

So let it be written. So let it be done.

I love you.

Seconded.

Worship is probably more in order here. I may have to reconsider atheism at this rate.

I count eighteen syllables in that haiku, FVB. The Obsidian Court frowns upon superfluous syllable usage in these desperate and trying times. We will be notifying the Divine Bureaucracy post-haste, on behalf of Xochipilli, He Who Guides the Blood-Stained Pen.

That is, of course, unless you might be willing to donate a sizable amount of uncut Jade to our people. The ollamaliztli team here could sure use new uniforms. Go Fightin' Jaguars!

A return of the banning poems! YAY!

I count eighteen syllables in that haiku, FVB.

"Now the August Emperor has unified all under heaven, distinguishing black from white and establishing a single source of authority. Yet the adherents of private theories band together to criticize the laws and directives. Hearing that an order has been handed down, each one proceeds to discuss it in the light of his own theories. At court they disapprove in their hearts; outside they debate it in the streets. They hold it a mark of fame to defy the ruler, regard it as lofty to take a dissenting stance, and they lead the lesser officials in fabricating slander. If behavior such as this is not prohibited, then in upper circles the authority of the ruler will be compromised, and in lower ones cliques will form. Therefore it should be prohibited."
