To everyone butthurt over AKK's banning.

[Doktor Howl]

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.

You're such a nice guy!  I wish I was more like you.  See now I just thought he was a complete douche at that point and I wished Dok had finally gotten that reach thru the monitor program finished so I could slap him upside the head.  Preferably with the club from my car.

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,

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, until the 4chan type of talk.

Twid,
Doesn't go on 4chan for a reason.

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.

Maybe next time we can get his understudy

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'm with Alty. But good riddance to bad rubbish. May he rot in peace. Insert further cliches here.

To be fair he was lame the first time too. We just built him up to make it more exciting for us.

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.

I'm glad.  He's the slime off of pond scum.  There never ever should be a question when it comes down to PD or some dumb fucker.  Yanno?

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.  

Fuck 'em. Send them my way and I'll be happy to explain things to them. I promise I won't be anywhere near as civil as you probably were.

Ultimately, it was my decision anyway so if anyone REALLY has a fucking problem with it, they should be taking it up with me from the start rather than bothering a man of SCIENCE and interrupting important work.

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.

It also isn't the same without Hunter.  Say what you want about Hunter, but the man could come up with some very creative and hilarious insults.

I liked Hunter, even if I was scrapping with him all the time.  Whatever happened to him?

The ones I don't miss are The Lamanite, Cowass, and DK.

He got into a shit fest with Lys that spiraled out of control.

So does everyone.  How does that translate into Hunter being the only person ever to escape PD?
