Because people finally realised what an obnoxious jerk he was?

Sorry to hear that. People say things on line they would never say out loud face to face.
I am amazed the ways people find to hurt each other.

That's probably the best definition social media that I've ever heard/read!

You are correct in that it is social media.
I have never really thought of that.
I have always just regarded the lounge as a BBS, ahem, a Forum.

Some offer this but most don't.
I can understand why.
You could at least put up some cheesy avatar on your profile. I think you're being ironic and that's not appreciated in The Lounge!

Would rather look like Bob. Not into cheesy unless it smells great.
...and of all people I wouldn't have thought that you were a sworn member of the irony police.
However, yes I stand guilty. I admit it.
I can send a sworn statement and make amends, but, you are going to be really disappointed when you see my picture and i am sure that you will then request that an empty Bob be returned to my profile image.

I have a very similar story, finding this site around 12 years ago via Google and joining for the newsletters. (Thanks Kent for the daily zingers! )
Also like you, I spend the vast majority of my time here in the Lounge enjoying the wit, sarcasm, and mostly interesting conversations, thoughts, and rants of the cast here. There are some really smart and witty people here!

What is this site if not real life? I can assure you I'm real enough.
But now I'm beginning to have doubts...

Being unreal used to be a good thing.
Being real and unreal at the same time now is still OK.
Well better than Ok.

Well like the broken quote goes
I [submit posts] therefor I am.
But I cannot prove that all the other posts are posted from real people, and not some self generating posting machine.

A great post grralph1. I start my workday with the newsletter to get the neurons firing. I often end up here. It's a pleasant little eddy in life's river of BS.
Thanks to all who make this happen.

Absolutely not. You are interpreting hints as being literal. The reference to gematria is a hint that the hexadecimal contains letters.

Best I can come up with is BAFFLE but I can't work 32 into that no matter how I try.

I'm thinking 32 could be space and we're talking about a word that would mean something different if split by one ...
