Where are the hard-flaming e-gladiators of yore?

Yeah, the list owners broke their own no-rules rule.  I think it was
Oxymoron who stepped in and threatened banishment, but what behavior
warranted that was never clear.  He did banish me for a while - he
unsubscribed me w/o even a warning - but I just resubscribed as
Ghettalife (which I obviously need).  Then, when Oxy realized he was
in over his head, he dropped the whole thing...

Doug got bored and left a long while ago, after he was studiously
ignored by almost the entire list when his over-the-top hysterical
behavior became too much for anyone to justify anymore.  He just loved
to be flamed, and when he was finally just ignored, he lost
interest...

Once in a while these old P-list stalwarts will pop in again.  But
this list is a lot less active than in years past.
