Pretty sure that's a joke. I saw that banner being joked about on another thread somewhere.

Yup, it was something like that. Someone else saw it and thought it would make a cool avatar

I think it's not customary in EN World to ban and taunt people; it's always either the one or the other...

That is part of why I find it so funny. EN World would not label someone, it would just happen. All behind closed doors.

PS - if it is/becomes an issue I will remove it but "Smeagol liiiikkkes hiiis precious."

Glad to see you're venturing out from your story hour more, diaglo!

Hope all's well in your area- hi to your honey and that sweet ol' dog.
