I have been banned from a thread for the first time ever

The inevitable Ellie Goulding thread

what the hell? this is bannable material now?

Its not like I called anybody any names or posted inappropriate material or something I don't get it

thread starter is now site-wide mod iirc

I am not a guy to complain about bondings but yeah that seems totally weird & uncalled-for to me

OTOH I'm not going to post to that thread because it seems unless you are way into the thread's subject you will be booted on your ass from the thread

nice work dude

wish we could ban ellie goulding..... from making music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey forks, soto on wilson vs. harrison thread is much worse if you are taking requests

lol'ing at max's post

first they came for shakey mo, and we did not speak out . . .

i'm lol'ing at ksh lol'ing at max

gj forx kiu

congrats on your first excessive use of mod powers, forks. i'm looking forward to a long tyrannous reign of valiantly defending random british singer chicks

for the record I don't really care all that much. I was just surprised/perplexed.

I suppose if I want to wonder out loud about why the longstanding US-UK musical/cultural exchange has deteriorated into little more than an annual importation of talentless trollops from the British Isles, I can just start another thread amirite?

Or is that also not allowed

ban all mods

forks hasn't posted in like 4 hrs as far as i can see so it's not that he's ignoring this, if that's any consolation.

pretty sure this isn't what ppl who posted below yr request had in mind, forks

Shakey, I started a thread to discuss a particular singer and your immediate response over two threads was as follows:

christ every year there's some new British chanteuse (but only one! we can't handle more than one a year) foisted on the American public make it stop. honestly preferred it when the UK was cranking out electric guitar virtuosos instead of this bullshit

I took that to be extreme and dickish threadjacking (especially following "I love this" as an intro) and I still do but banning you from the thread was entirely too kneejerk of me. dick move to counter dick move is still a dick move.

mea culpa; i apologize and you're unbanned from the thread.

and not to put the twinkie defense to play, but i really needed to get some dinner and step away from the computer at that point; so if y'all can collectively chalk that up to growing pains, I will quit being a jerk

we're going to hold it against you for forever, forks -- sorry

you know how much we like to defend the honor of shakey mo

I will quit being a jerk

This seems to have run it's course.

Shakey if you have a further bone to pick with me about this, you can hit me up via ILX mail. Again though, you were right on this one.
