abstract
| - Written in the style of the sonnet of the same name by Elizabeth Barrett Browning in her Sonnets from the Portuguese, the poem concerns the provocations for administrators' action, and their arsenal of weapons for dealing with rulebreakers. How do I ban thee? Let me count the ways. With anticheat, or hand of God, or best: A stream of lead administer'd with zest By minigun, the forgèd steel ablaze. I'll ban with ev'ry instrument and tool By CrazyBob bequeath'd; with no regret, I'll ban thee freely, shouldst thou have abet The circumvent of ordinance and rule. I'll ban with every sinew of my might Whoe'er from gravitation doth abstain, And save the servers from th'incessent plight Of lawlessness, of gangmen's mindless reign, And those who would evade my watchful sight. All else, fear not: thy care is my constrain. — Renegade334 Sonnet 43
