No, that's incorrect -- you have heard my complaint.  And I would tend to
think that it counts as much as any other persons complaint.  [Remember Todd,
I am on Lugnet based on your specific and personal invitation and despite my
fiery writing style.]

At http://www.lugnet.com/dear-lego/?n=2007, Mike states:

So take your snide remarks about favoritism and elitism and whatever else and
stuff 'em.

"Stuff 'em" is a variant of "Stuff it."

stuff it Vulgar Slang.
Used as an intensive to express extreme anger, frustration, or disgust.

But just to be sure, I asked someone what it meant:

ME: how do you take the phrase "Stuff 'em?"  What does it mean and what does
it imply?
OTHER: I need context
ME: "So take your snide remarks about favoritism and elitism and whatever
else and stuff 'em."
OTHER:it means shove it up your ass.  But it is a nicer way of saying it

So if Tom and I can be banned for mere vulgarity, so can Mike.  Isn't that
fair?

I say all three of us, or none of us.  Anything else is you just choosing up
favorites.

Ine the meanwhile, I am going to post below what I responded to Mike's post as
mentioned above:

website.  I would have been THRILLED to stop doing it, as I know Tom would be.

So in reality, we agree -- you just don't like my word choice, rhetorical
style, or syntax?

Sheeesh!!!

And I did say it was a "generous gesture."  I don't know why you are so mad
about it.  I'm sure everyone appreciates it a lot.

So take your snide remarks about favoritism and elitism and whatever else and
stuff 'em.

Well, no, there we would have to disagree!

But BTW, I did not introduce the terms "elitism" or "elitist" into this
discussion.  In fact, it was either yourself or Poindexter -- I can't recall
which. Y'all have Richard confusions, and I have Mike ones. Sorry.
