I'm getting a little sick and fucking tired of getting a dozen PMs a day and constant fucking hectoring therein, and to a lesser extent, the worried-sounding posts in other threads, here you fucking go:

I'm not here to fight, but I'm not going to turn down free lulz from the craft masters, especially since she apparently wasn't fifteen to begin with. :)
Nothing like having a towering, self-righteous display of wrathful trolling cut off at the knees. :sad:
If it's any consolation Howl, it wouldn't have mattered. Like I said, I don't take joy or pride in bashing people's nuts with a hammer, it just has to be done sometimes, whether they are 15 or 155. The older sibling should have warned her better about interacting with me or not brought her here if she wasn't prepared to deal with spoofed links to 2girls1cup.
Okay, for everyone who is seriously srsly worried about AKK's banning - either because he was such a character and you miss him, or because you feel that this is simply the first step in the admins frogmarching you all into concentration camps, there you are.
I warned him not to do this later in the thread, so he PM'd me asking if I could spell out the rules PRECISELY, so that he could have a little fun working the margins.
Bear in mind that ninja linking to pron is a FEDERAL CRIME if it is in a place where minors could reasonably be expected to see it (and he has stated his willingness to do so intentionally), and we have a rule about getting Faust and ECH tossed in jail or hit with civil issues.
If this is still a serious concern, if this is such a huge fucking sign of the Goddamn apocalypse, I will unban him, and then I'll go find somewhere else to hang out. I suspect I won't be the only one doing so. I'm not going to fucking stand by while this place turns into Camp Idiot or SA.
Dok,
Your fucking resident Kim Jung Il.
Personally I don't give a shit, the guy is a fucking douche. Fuck him.
If people want to interact with him so badly they can go to him.

I was screaming back and forth with a couple of the other admins about this. Not in argument, but in agreement...He was going, one way or the other, or at least one of us would be.
Then he sent me that last PM, so I said fuck it and hit the button.
looks to me like he forced your hand.
but it's a shame. with how he's been built up, i was hoping to get the full experience...
c'est la vie
As I said in PMs, while I saw no evidence of him breaking any rules per se, I think it is an unwritten rule of humanity that people who are obnoxiously, repeatedly wrong and have no intent of shutting up, and, indeed, go out of their way to hijack other conversations with their verbal diarrhea are not tolerated.
AKK had over 160 posts in two days. Most were the equivalent of having that guy at the bar who's an expert on everything banging his pint glass against the table and telling you to shut the fuck up, cuz this is the real deal.
Nothing of value was lost. This time.
Last time it took several months of this, every damn day, until some hero decided to up and hack his account. By that point, pretty much every decent conversation had been killed off.
Rules were broken, and he's a douchebag. E/O/T.

The go to the Facebook group "Friendbusters", and tell him you've heard about his music and outlandish attire.
Yatto's there, too. You should have a ball...When I left, they were (unsuccessfully) trying to raise a troll army.
Don't use your work computer, though. The site is 50% wannabe anonymous, 25% conspiracy freaks, and 25% neo-Nazis.

I took his announced intent to work around the rules to fuck people over as close enough.
I mean, the guy stated that he was willing to ninja link a 15 year old to 2girls1cup. Mind you, shoeears had by that point stated that she wasn't 15, but he said he'd still do it.

Yeah, I noticed that. But last night, when I said the above, I wasn't aware of it, and still approved.
Phone ate my response. Fucker announced intent ro post NSFW shit (extra vile, at that) with no warning, and the intent to try to rules laywer his way around things. No loss, and hopefully gone before he chased off any actual humans.

When it comes down to potential IRL job/legal trouble for PDers or the site owner, yeah.
If I was banning people because I just didn't like them, Uncle BadTouch wouldn't have an account (let alone two).
But judging from my PMs, I am 3 seconds away from fucking goose-stepping.
I can pull the trigger and make the announcement in the future, if you prefer.
ITS NOT LIKE, BECAUSE
I. AM. THE. FUCKING. ANTI-CHRIST.

I'm getting to that point, myself.
When I finally keel over for real, I am willing you my password. I want you to post the first 5 pages of my PMs (those are the keepers), after scrubbing the names (or not).
:lulz:
Now that sounds like fun. I'll have to make the decision on names as and when I see them.
Quote from: Cain on July 06, 2011, 05:52:27 PM

The first page consists of almost ten years of PMs from LUNATICS. Shit like "I WROTE YOUR NAME IN FIRE WITH MINE BUT IN THE MORNING I CRIED IN SHAME", etc.
Then there's about 4 pages of people explaining why I am a terrible person and why everything is all my fault.
We should as a group, come up with a list of 5 (or more) really good "Why you are banned" responses. And let them be the standard reply. then all you ever have to say again is the membership has spoken :wink:
Something along the lines of....
Dear (to be banned member);
The membership of PD would like to inform you that you have been banned from PD.com because......
YOU SUCK GIANT DONKEY SCHLONGS!
Sincerely;
The Management
I didn't see AKK do anything against the rules besides be a colossal dickhead with a pathological inability to shut the fuck up or let anyone else get the last word on anything.
BUT, if he expressed an intent to deliberately do things that were both completely fucked and could possibly get ECH or Faust in legal trouble, then I see zero problem with banning his obnoxious ass.
I was very close to sending Dok a PM asking what was up, but then I thought, "Hey wait, the past 9,672 times I thought Dok did something overblown for no good reason, I turned out to be wrong. I think I will wait this one out until he decides to spell it out for everyone why he did this."

You're just doing that to throw me off balance. :tgrr:
:lol:
Me, I just figure I don't know everything that goes on and that he begged for it. (If I ever manage that Holy Quest, I'm hoping for enough Holy Points to buy Omniscience. :mrgreen: )
I came to the conclusion pretty quickly that I was going to ignore him and he was going to end up getting rebanned sooner or later anyway. Looks like it ended up being sooner.
I look at it this way. There are people still here who are lucky I have no input into the decision making. So I don't question when any of the admins do something because I trust them to have PD's (not their own agenda, PD and it's continuation) best interest in mind.
I was concerned initially, because like Cainad, I didn't see him do anything against the rules and because, honestly, I think his demeanor this time around was much less annoying than when he first arrived. But, for what it's worth, if he was intent on doing something to get Faust, ECH, etc. in trouble then it was obviously warranted.
That said, I do think some people here were looking to be annoyed by AKK. I think part of it is simple human nature and curiousity. Let's face it. AKK has been built up as a character over the years. There are many people on the boards now that weren't around when that stuff actually happened. It just felt like some folks were itching right away to get riled up, to be part of that legend.
I could be completely wrong, but it's just what I observed.
Again, I'm not saying this to disagree with the banning, but I really think some folks, some newer folks, decided before he even posted all that much that they were going to be offended by him.
And if you are looking to be offended and annoyed, well, chances are you will be.
RWHN,
donning the flak jacket
I personally had no real issues until the dick sucking bullshit. At that point I just walked away. You can't argue with stupid or crazy and AKK is a little of both.
I'm not convinced he was being all that serious in that thread. I think he was honestly just playing to get a rise out of the group.

Posting for negative attention is one thing. 160 posts for negative attention in 30 hours or so is something else, entirely. See his opus thread in Principia Discussion. The OP, such as it was, says everything you need to know about the pompous prick.

I think on a certain level he is a complete douche, but I also think a part of that is inflated and exaggerated as part of an act. I guess I just don't take him that seriously. I think he was just here to perform.

Good idea.
Hey, someone go dig up Lamanite and bring his sorry ass here. I have a hankering for some Soup.
I found it amusing. He has been built up here, actually I thought he'd be a little less blatant, the dick sucking/arm jewelry thing was pretty damned obviously meant to get a rise out of us considering the context of that thread and, you know, every syllable he posted.
It was fun. Kind of.

I agree with you completely. I don't see how anyone who wasn't here for the initial AKKness had any business jumping in right away this time. But I've also noticed that it seems to be a pretty common thing here. And probably everywhere else. I suspect it stems from a sense of wanting to further cement one's sense of belonging to a group, but when done carelessly and needlessly it can be pretty annoying, and can end up being quite off-putting to long-time members of the group who are paying attention and would rather see people be embraced for their genuine merits rather than their manufactured attempts at being in on whatever is "cool" to be in on.

I am stunned that anyone had a problem with AKK's banning. I am perfectly willing to wear the hypocrite hat in this instance and say that I wouldn't care if he didn't break any rules at all. For a minute I thought it might be funny to have him back; turned out it wasn't, because he just has to troll in EVERY POST and he's the Jeff Dunham of trolling.
Sometimes I think he's a collective with a script, because he's online trolling apparently 24 hours a day, and clearly barely read/skims posts before he responds to them so the replies are usually only tangentially relevant (that's MY technique, the fuckers).

I'm fine with him being gone. My sister can take care of herself (otherwise I wouldn't have extended an invitation), but he's a giant pompous douche bag, and that's not even counting the BS in the women thread. I stopped paying attention to him after he screeched "intellectual checkmate!" at me when there was no intellectual discussion going on, so I'm going to trust the admins' decision.
And on the Shoe Ears note, I only gave her a heads up that there was a dickbag reappearing so she would be aware of the potential shit storm that might erupt during her arrival.

Actually I've been going with that assumption for more than a couple of years now. Whenever I think he's being too quick to judge, I remember that 9 times out of 10 he turns out to be right in the end.
Great quality to have in an admin.
Id be careful sending him a PM

threatening to post porn is a bullshit reason to ban someone. Banning someone based on the fact that they are annoying as hell and have verbal diarrhoea, is more acceptable in my eyes. Either way, I wasn't invested in standing up for someone like AKK
I don't agree with you roger but I'm not calling you Kim Jong Il either so I'd rather I wasn't tarred and feathered to look like I was.
That's kind of where I'm at with it as well. If it were someone else I might be more concerned about banning someone over threatening to post something. But as far as the other stuff, I really think he was playing a part. He smelled blood in the water. He knew what this group was expecting out of him because of the legend that has been built up around him. He was giving the audience what it wanted.
And I must really object to the earlier posts saying it is okay to ban some people because of stupid posting and not others. Just because of who they are. I'm not talking about the porn stuff, just the annoying posts. I think either we do ban people because they are annoying or we don't. It's what I have appreciated about this community as long as I've been here. We have the nerve and the stones and the wit to put up with bullshit. If we start to condone making arbitrary rules for banning (again, beyond the porn, PI, etc.) then aren't we basically taking a step (even if it is a baby step) towards that from MW and TCC that we abhor and rail against?
I dunno, something to think about.

It's what I have appreciated about this community as long as I've been here. We have the nerve and the stones and the wit to put up with bullshit. If we start to condone making arbitrary rules for banning (again, beyond the porn, PI, etc.) then aren't we basically taking a step (even if it is a baby step) towards that from MW and TCC that we abhor and rail against?
I dunno, something to think about.
We haven't banned Uncle BadTouch. If we haven't banned HIM, we're probably okay.
I thought he was already banned from before, and therefore wasn't upset that he actually is now.
Once again reality aligns itself to my spiritual expectations :D
I hate to give the guy this much credit, but he basically singlehandedly derailed the entire board for a period of a few months back in early '07.
He's a threat to our way of life (or rather, he's the achilles heel that overloads our immune response to the point where we eat ourselves) and as such I have absolutely no problem with making a singular exception for him.
It was nice of him, then, to spare me the trouble by threatening to ninja link people here to illegal material. If anybody here doesn't think he'd actually do it then they haven't interacted with him enough.
