Edits would be a nice feature. No one is going to agree on this. The Legume devotees believe everything he does is wonderful, intelligent, witty and that it is a great loss to the community to have him gone. There are people, I suppose who hate him or who are jealous of him, or despise him and are glad to see the last of him. The vast majority of us don't care and have no interest in him....I never found his art or his postings to be particualrly interesting, or intellectually stimulating....but I understand that I am one of those few who also find the fascination for Adam Sandler a mystery but that doesn't keep his movies from making money. I am surprised that people are so attached to someone who has been outspoken on the topic of making fun of the people here and despising the community. Oh well. What is very sad is that no one on either side (members or administration) can be trusted to do the right thing. Legume didn't force anyone to vote for him...if people created clone accounts at his urging, it's because they have no ethics which says something sad about them and nothing particularly good about Legume (and I say "if" because I don't know if he did this or not--it's a subject I haven't researched and won't bother to because there are already too many people who can quote Legume chapter and verse). However, in Legume's honor, I provide the following amusement which seems to be at his level of ultra-sophisticated and social comment as I had privilege to experience it: The Genealogy of Mr. Jack Schitt The lineage is finally revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt." Now you can intellectually handle the situation. Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt, and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins: Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her parent's objections, Deap Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school drop out. However, after being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later remarried Ted Sherlock and, because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they produced a son of nervous disposition, Chicken Schitt. Two other of the 6 children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens wedding. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt. So now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt", you can correct them.
