Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

I'm working on a big new feature (more for BME than for IAM, but still very cool for IAM readersz) so I probably won't be online much today or tomorrow. To all of you who are causing TOS problems and fighting, thanks a lot, the more sleep you cost me the harsher I'll probably be with you.

Yesterday I had to remove someone (permabanned) because they tried to drag IAM into a legal battle… One now ex-IAM member was using IAM to broadcast charges of serial rape that they claim happened three years ago. I don't care if it's true, I don't care if you're justified in your claims — IAM is not the forum for that, and I'll be damned if I let IAM become a tool in some breakup lawsuit or even criminal investigation.

Then there's the assholes that can't figure out some free service on BME harassing me. Here's an excerpt from messages that started coming in at about 4AM this morning — check the times:
