Banishment is in the eye of the beholder. I thought of it more as freedom from limitations. :-)

My feeling was, one thread was fine -- even that monster thread! -- but when Lumptonianisms started to spread, they weren't so easy to ignore and started to affect the feel of the board as whole.
> Anyone can "join" Lumptonia, it is a fun, silly thing, and creative, and lighthearted.
"The Lumptonian people" certainly have been welcoming, and the fun and creativity have been remarkable. But others can feel left out even if that's not the intent.
I appreciate how open-minded everyone's been about this. I'd like to try, for now, limiting Lumptonian references and expressions to the "Labrassador" thread. OK?
The eGroup question is up to the Lumps themselves. :-)
