FWIW, Morbs has posted links to his professional work on ILX, so his true identity isn't exactly a state secret. That said, people wielding govt. names like a weapon is NAGL.

I don't care that much, it was in my display name for years. The real point is that I was not the first person to play the "real name when shit gets heated" card; I also think that if dude is going to spend 90% of his time on that thread saying hateful content-free shit, he should occasionally have his name tied to it but that's just me.

yeah but as you pretty much just said, using his name is different, so it was a conscious, provocative escalation on your part. this was kind of my implicit point, that morbs, not being so buddy-buddy with some of the mods, might not be getting equal treatment.

for the record whiney i had a morbs irl display name about 2 years ago ^_^

I just hung out w/morbs a month ago and had beers! I genuinely like the dude and have mentioned that multiple times on ilx, so you are def off wrt at least one mods position.

I like him too and he keeps things peppy, but he's definitely also:

morbs is cool but he p unpalatable in the darkness of my soul let me show you them mode

lag∞n, Thursday, 6 September 2012 18:42 (eleven years ago) link

i wouldnt say morbs had to be banned but i would say that someone had to sit down with him and say "morbs, look at this"

flopson, Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link

so you're saying he didn't have to be banned just sexually harassed

omar little, Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:40 (eleven years ago) link

i'm just saying if someone had just asked morbs "morbs: how would you feel? no--how do you really feel?," then touch him on the chest, "...in here" then maybe we never would have had this problem in the first place!

flopson, Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link

Uh, does Morbs really seem like the type to respond positively to an empathetic plea?

This Whole Fridge Is Full Of (Old Lunch), Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link

i'm just saying if someone had hired a skywriter to write "Keep it real, Morbs!" over downtown brooklyn this morning maybe--MAYBE--things would have turned out differently

flopson, Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link

I think what flopson is trying to say is

i'm just saying someone needs to have "morbsplained" it to him, if you know what i mean ;-)

the grinch's ballsac grew three times that day

vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Thursday, 6 September 2012 20:07 (eleven years ago) link

lol

flopson, Thursday, 6 September 2012 20:07 (eleven years ago) link

& morbs ballsac (presumably) remained the same size -- and here we are wondering why he acted the way we did. it's selfish of us, really!

should be the moderator's creed

the late great, Thursday, 6 September 2012 21:02 (eleven years ago) link

just wanna say: i didn't want Dr M. to be banned, nor did i ask him to be banned by my good buddies the mods, i just wanted that dumbass post to be deleted.

I have some perspective on this whole thing but I'm not really at liberty to divulge and though the whole Que thing was a little over my head, I thought it was as low as calling the FLOTUS a chienne but morbs is def not a happy camper right now.

links to "my professional work," hah! Never got paid a red cent for any of that. What decade do you think this is, No Lunch?

Well, that sure learned me! The ostensible rumored reason for my ban (there's no way to know, of course, since the Star Chamber Log lists no reasons) makes even less sense than the M. Obama one. People have been using offboard info to shit on me for years and never been touched (they did during that clusterfuck).

― Hungry4Ass, Thursday, September 6, 2012 8:54 PM (2 days ago)

without having seen the redacted posts and whatever notionally terrible things morbs said, i am reasonably confident that this ban was not deserved

nonetheless i hope morbs will appreciate some black humour occasioned by his travails before the star chamber

Pretty sure we're in the 'working for free as a badge of professional integrity' decade, Morbs.
