yeah, uh, I'm confused, why was he banned?

Read your PMs.  Refer back to the conversation we had 3 months ago, at the end of the DK business.

Then unban him, if you like.

alt maybe?

you guys have more information then I do

Quote form the banned guy: "the random and slightly weird threadstopping comment is my favourite asshole move"
The reason for the ban: "Stated objective of being here only to kill threads."

I'm not going to have any further input on this, I said I would not deal with any new people on the site and I have held to it for over a month and a bit now.  You decide if you think that it was fair or not.

Deal with it as you like.  I'm not gonna be butthurt, either way.

Basically, as far as I can tell, a particular individual is stirring shit, and we are seeing the results.

Storm and Vex.

You see, apparently I fuck friends over, so Badges is fixing that by causing as much trouble as she can.

The real reason, of course, is that I wouldn't bow to her "discipline" like the pussies she dates.   :lulz:

So tell her that.  I apologized to Cram this morning.  The only one who has a problem now it Badges, because she's apparently unhinged.

I told you to quit being a huge fucking baby.  Obviously that didn't work.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

I have no idea who Storm is.  I didn't see your little tiff with Vex until after you banned this dude.  I don't need help dealing with assholes.

Also, it's funny that you're calling me a psycho when you go on paranoid rants about people obviously hating you because they leave threads after you post in them.

I personally am tired of Roger dumping on people whenever he's bored.

If my vote counted, I'd say give him another chance. Not least because if you can get banned for stirring shit, then I should have been banned 10x over for all the shit I've stirred up.

So I read through all of his 20 posts, pineal and bland, but I don't think he was here to kill threads. There's a pattern here:

Newbie: attracted by the "fuck-authority" vibe put out here and tries to interact, albeit ineptly
Community: shits on newbie for "doing it wrong"
Newbie: "fuck you I'm not going to take shit just because I'm new here and I hit some landmine, cut me some slack or fuck off"
Community: "yawn - we've seen it all before (which is true), you fuck off"
Newbie: "You're acting all 2nd circuit in your coordinated shit-flinging"
Community: "Yeah, but at least we're aware we are monkeys"

To which there really is no rejoinder - the nicest thing I can think to say about this is that it teaches a lesson of the importance of blending into a community, because we're almost always part of some community and "winning an argument" doesn't keep you out of jail if you're stupid enough to get yourself caught.

What this kid failed to pick up on was that he pissed people off, and regardless of the reasons - being smug about it, or glossing over someones grievance will piss them off further - unless you're one charming motherfucker and can do it with some style. This kid also failed to pick up on the concept of thread "ownership" - it's not a hippie commune (yet) - and jacking TGRR's threads will piss him off enough to want to ban you..  sometimes he'll succeed.

The attrition rate here seems fairly high, and maybe a similar lesson applies to this community - you may be right to mock newbies into coherence, but if you start banning them for not fitting in quick enough then I think we'll inevitably stagnate and die.

:lulz: True. But read his posts again - was he trying to fuck things up, or was he just returning some of the attitude thrown his way? He's not bright or brave enough to admit his mistakes and apologise, but I can forgive him that, if he can learn that.
