did it crash?

Thankfully, no.

A little choppy in a couple spots since we took off in the middle of light thunderstorms, but otherwise a good flight.

More likely a Cessna Citation Excel. While you can fly with Microsoft Excel, landing is much harder.

Now here's an idea...

What, you mods have the red button right in toolbar? :blink:

I wonder more about the suicide button. Can the same mod remove the ban he put on himself?

IIRC, a mod can't ban a mod, only an admin can do that, so there's no problem with that mod self-banning in first place.

That would be my understanding to. On many systems (Novell, Active Directory, etc) as an admin you can ban yourself - of course once banned you need another admin level account to unban you.

So, if the only admin bans himself, it's a mode lock?
Sounds like a marked lack of idiotproofing.

In vBulletin, there is usually a main administrator who can be configured as uneditable user. That account can be banned by nobody.

For some reason that reminds me of a joke: can an omnipotent being create a stone so large that it can't lift it? If it can, it's not omnipotent. If it can't, it's not omnipotent.

This is only going to lead to a religious argument so let's not go in that direction.

Or you could read his post a little closer. I quote:

For some reason that reminds me of a joke:

It's a simple joke. Nothing more was going to come from it. The word 'omnipotent' doesn't automatically mean that it's going to spiral directly into a religious debate.

 

[Pipcard]

Except, it's not a joke at all. It's highly philosophical and controversial.

But here's the thing, he told it in a lighthearted manner.
If you want to continue into the "highly philosophical and controversial" matter it is, go seek out the company of the basement. You're turning this into the discussion you wanted to prevent.
