Title: AN ERA ENDS. CAPITOL GRILLING FINALLY CROAKS.
Post by: The Good Reverend Roger on December 17, 2012, 03:41:52 PM
Capitol Grilling is no more.  It's still up, but posting is disabled, and won't be reenabled before the site expires.

It turns out that Zeroflux at some point went from a libertarian/independent (and meant it, too, I've known him for 10 years) to a teabagger.  He called the election in Virginia wrong, and got pissed.  Then there was a gun control thread about the recent massacre, and he spazzed out, called everyone "morons", and then announced he was shutting the board down, presumably because there aren't any teabaggers left.

In its heyday (2000-2006), it was the best political board ever.  It declined from 2006-2008, as Zero took less and less interest in moderating it.  It's been on life support ever since, and it's probably a good thing that it was allowed to finally die.

So long, Zero.  You were a titan among men, but in the end you were just another putz.

I noticed Gore1FL signed up here the other day.

I have been registered at that place since 2008, and yet have not been able to post once.   :sad:

I had a standing invitation for Gore1FL, Walker Tom, Rosie, and a few others.  I hope to see them here.  Mostly, though, they will be asking you for your pick (at my suggestion) of what political boards would make a good new home for them.

I'm just pissed that out of all my efforts to make the place a toxic cesspool all it took was a relatively mild discussion about gun control to kill it off.  I mean c'mon throw a brother a bone for fucks sake, at least say that the place had become a cesspool and that discussing gun control was the last straw.

But no, Jesus doesn't love me that much.

Well, the cesspool part was really his doing.  Lack of moderation + closed registration = settling pond.  Closing it down right after the election didn't go his way wasn't a decision concerning the board, it was a decision concerning...

Zero's last post (and CG's last post):

Quote from: Weeping TeabaggerThis is going to be the last post on the forum and I'm shutting down CG. My right to self-defense is guaranteed by the Constitution, does not end at the home and I could give a flying fuck what you think about guns GW in Ohio. You don't like them, don't own them, however you or anyone else is not going to abridge on my right to self defense.

Also, a semi-automatic firearm whether a rifle or handguns shoots one bullet at a time. You gun control advocates are absolute morons and can't even educate yourselves on the thing you are trying to ban. Semi-Automatic rifles and handguns are also the the vast majority of the market, so in essence those of you that say you want to ban them are essentially advocating near full gun confiscation.

My last point is that businesses/locations that ban guns are essentially sending a message to criminals and the insane that they will not encounter any resistance until law enforcement shows up.

I am absolutely sick about the tragedy in Connecticut. But I am not going to let you idiots use this forum to advocate shredding the Constitution and taking away my and others right to self-defense. The right to bear arms is NOT a privilege it is a RIGHT. The primary scope is not for hunting or sporting purposes.

His argument seems to be that half a dozen middle-aged to senior citizens are going to "advocate shredding the constitution" the act of which seems to be "discussing something on the internet".

Fact:  Zero has become about as rational as Donald Trump or Meatloaf or even Nugent.

Fact:  Zero's board sucked longer than it rocked (2001-2006 vs 2006-present).

Fact:  No big loss.

Fact:  Zero is a schmuck.  Just another butthurt jackass who loved the sport until his team lost.  To hell with him.  He was never really serious about having a good time, and when he suddenly decided that CG was SRS BSNSS, it was only a matter of time.  The first step to becoming a DUMBFUCK is to take yourself seriously.

So long, Zero, you asshole.  After all the bullshit and the double-talk, you were just another useless tard.

Given the tards there who recommended shredding the Consitution on a daily basis there (torture terrorists, haebus corpus doesn't apply to non-Americans, indefinite detention without charge) etc...this just screams extreme butthurt.  If you want a soapbox, get a fucking blog.

Yeah, pretty much.

On the other hand, it's been a long, long time since any non-kook conservatives were on the board.  Except for Cooter, for whom I have nothing but respect.

Board is still up.  Posting is still disabled.

This leads me to believe that Zeroflux isn't actually going to shut it down.  He just wants to punish everyone for a while for having all the wrong values.

Doesn't matter.  I'll never give that place an ounce of traffic again.  The idea of shutting a political board down because someone proposed an argument that the admin didn't agree with is laughable and more than a little pathetic; it isn't a forum at that point.  It's instead some weird thing on which you are allowed to agree.

I can get THAT anywhere.  I mean, this IS America, right?

So long, Zero.  You were a titan among men, but in the end you were just another putz.

Well I went looking for Capitol Grilling a few weeks ago and it was gone, no archives, nada, not even a mention in a Google search. But I did find this thread and lo and behold the OP is an old poster from CG named Malaclypse or Doc Howl. Always assumed they were one in the same but wasn't certain.

These twins had a completely different personality in that other place and time. Bearing only a slight resemblance to their apparitions on this forum.

Back then if Mal wasn't a screetching partisan you would never have guessed it, he seemed to be so much part of team librul. Even wore the cap and cleated shoes into the bar thread. He didn't wax poetic like he does in his rants here. He didn't polish his sentences and bother with grammar and/or spelling or even give a rat's ass whether he was skillfully reaching his audience, or just alienating them.

Course I was a real dickface in that forum myself. Never was a partisan but I couldn't help but kick them at every opportunity. I was mostly there to study the phenom or partisanship and find out whether it could be cured.

I know how to challenge cognitive dissonance and once you crack that shell a person's own feelings alert them to the fact that they are full of shit.

You can lead a partisan to water but you can't make him/her think.

So here is an other Mal. One who doesn't have that much in common with his alter at CG. One who rants like his intended audience is gonna pick his speel up off the city pavement beneath a tall downtown office building manana and read it, toss it or step on it, almost by random selection.

It is what it is. You never really know anybody, not even yourself. We all change. We aren't a static incarnation of ourselves. We are dynamic and part of a dynamic reality.

Aside from Mal the welcome wagon on this forum has the charisma and warmth of a tribe of cannibals. I have no interest in dialogue with shit flinging adolescent howler monkeys. Life's short, no time, sorry.

But I think I read all of your rants, Mal. Except those that were blarged out of existence. And I hear and approve of your underlying emphasis on our freedom to choose. You come back to that theme in almost every rant. I hear ya.

Thanks Mal. You be well.

To each and every one of you, I hope your path leads you where you choose to go.

And that's my cue.

No. Dinosaurs were not cold blooded. Does everything you know come from an elementary-school textbook ca. 1974? How can you possibly know that birds are descended from dinosaurs, yet somehow not know that dinosaurs weren't ectotherms?

The funny part to me is that crocodiles and turtles are actually closer to birds than to other reptiles, and an arguement could be made to classify them as cold blooded birds.  So such a thing does exist  (depending on how you approach animal classification)

Hypothetically a planet on which an ice age extended glaciers to the equator and killed everything on the planet is certainly possible, but now we're talking about fantasy fiction, not about the Earth's history according to available geological and paleontological evidence.

Point taken.
