Can we unban Turrican and welcome him back to this board already?

I’d rather have doompatrol come back if we are re-enlisting controversial former posters

Honestly I would vote neb back in before Turrers fwiw

No idea who doompatrol is but if he's a doom dick metal gatekeeper, I'm all for it.

Dick metal sounds interesting

Blimey, if mark s is correct in his assumption, his posting style makes so much sense to me now.

Then cast your vote:

pomenitul is a graceful and generous ambassador for real music played by real musicians and his presence here has further obviated the need for a contrarian voice as oafish and jarring as turrican's tbh, although I do wonder what he and Sund4r are cooking up on their francophone enclave

Thx lj, although I also like fake music played by fake musicians.

I know! All a matter of degrees of course

Here I am
51 me like a Turrican

I felt like Turrican's thread derailments regularly made ILM feel like a more belligerent, stupid and frankly boring place. And that's the sort of thing that drives good, valuable posters to just give up, and puts would-be posters off staying. Usually without any big statement or histrionics, they just quietly stop.

I have to say, It is pretty nice to not have to avoid threads where Turrican is hanging out.

Also, what is FP'ing?

We would also have accepted "sock me like a Turrican"

Anyway I feel a little skeevy trying somebody in absentia, even this nudnik, so now we have the mods's view and it's satisfactory I'm gonna shut my big mouth

― enochroot,

Flagging a post as objectionable. If a poster gets FP'd by 51 different users within 6 months, they get a one month sitewide ban.

Turrican sucked and we are well rid of him.

Although Turrican was useful to have on one's side during a McCartney album knife fight, he had no capacity for arguing on the internet. If I disagree with an opinion, I might counter it at most twice but eventually walk away from the discussion. This dude, in the most oafish and machista way, would insist that, no, you were wrong. I'm not sure of his age, but I reckon he never had internet lessons.

i know the board is getting old and is going to die at some point, but unbanning old posters who were banned for very good reasons seems like a bit of a drastic move, not to mention unnecessary. if the goal is for more cheap heat that drives up the level of noise on the board, we could always just start another trump thread. or we could have an argument over whether or not turrican should be unbanned, that would work. but actually unbanning him? gods no.

it will not die, it will be reborn as a discord server

it will die, but many years from now it will train the ai of our least productive robots.

lol

Make turrican a mod imo

And the least of ye shall become the first

I can't believe the Aeon Flux board has posts from this year on it

I've known him for a very long time across various fan and music communities. I'd say going back 15+ years. He always ends up exiled. It's just a matter of time. He can be alright in private conversation, but something wicked sparks inside him on these forums.

xp from the creator of Aeon Flux, no less!

It is possible to break the cycle, but...only if you're willing to listen I guess

will the circle be unbroken
in the sweet ole by and by

I want to delete this thread so bad...

FWIW, I have specifically thought how much the R.E.M. Monster thread would be stunk up if he were still around

Does turrican have another outlet where he can talk about music? I always feel bad when these energetic posters get banned

Deadspin

'energetic'

in all seriousness, shitty or not I think Turkey has been dunked on enough and it sounds like the decision's been made.

lock thread?

Lock thread and then blow it up.

there's all kinds of energy, and some of them give you cancer

all flashing pulsars!

The fact that (iirc) what Turrers said was borderline transphobic... yeah, that’s an actually legit criterion.

Is this true? I don't recall this.

in before..

um, one more person would like to dunk, sorry. one last thing, responding to OP

FUCK NO
