morbs could not have upset anyone that much

^^ I thought this about dom, cankles, ethan, et al

u thought people who went around stirring shit and insulting people wouldn't upset anyone? morbs was stubborn and trollish but never made a habit of attacking other posters personally

um you must never read US political threads...

not that I think he should have been banned.

um you must never read US political threads...

Exactly. Spending a significant amount of your time stalking one particular type of thread so that you can childishly insult everyone on it and then petulantly refuse any attempt to converse about the topic at hand or explain what your positions are goes beyond annoying to flat-out trolling, something you can get banned for. It is patently obvious that mods banning him flat-out for this would inspire a gigantic meta clusterfuck even though he deserves it, so we decided to let the posting community get sick of him. Now that you've spoken, he now has a month off to figure out how to express his hatred of American politicians and the people who vote for them without being an offensive asshole about it.

And "I was just blowing off steam," which he has trotted out in the past, doesn't cut it.

why i don't go on the political threads no. 7543, i guess.

ok i just read that morbs iraq thread--way to get baited you goofs.

It is patently obvious that mods banning him flat-out for this would inspire a gigantic meta clusterfuck even though he deserves it, so we decided to let the posting community get sick of him. Now that you've spoken,

I see your point here, but at the same time it's a little unfair to be like "hey this is what you want" when lots of people in this thread are saying that this isn't what we want and we think the current SB system is a bad thing.

completely otm. morbs would troll a bit, but i think he also added a lot of value in other areas to justify it. if we let everybody who was offended get their way, then k-punk wins! say NO to grey vampires!

Ny sb against morbs was for his pissing on ethan's grave.

^^awed by the Solomonic fairmindedness and total absence of personal animus here^^

"Now that you've spoken" is loltastic, though! Sounds like Ollie North's lawyer at the Iran-contra hearings -- "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!" All 52 of them.

As I posted in the hours before I was muzzled, i am done done done with the politics threads, as my Most Unpopular Opinion re The Slick "Centrist" clearly is not permitted there. Also, it's a waste of time. As far as "expressing hatred of American politicians and the people who vote for them without being an offensive asshole" goes, this has never been applied to folks who do that when it involves the Green Party, Nader, McKinney, Paul, etc.

Really, you can't chasten a man in his late 40s who's entering his fifth month of unemployment by anonymously telling him to go stand in the corner for a month on a messageboard. This largely unexplained policing procedure (nearly all I know about it comes from 77) is some bullshit, even for ILX, and I'm sadder and more pissed off about this place than ever.

I'm not going to use this cowardly Suggest Ban feature anymore, and I think someone more detached from the issue than I should start a thread demanding it be shitcanned.

Now I'm going to prepare for a job interview, and clean the crackers out of my bed.

So this is really how you want to come back?

"more detached than ME," shit.

xp

what can I say? I'm not fond of tribunals, even in sandboxes. Ever the maverick!

xpost HI DERE, you're an awful mod who exacerbates problems, that comment being one example of many, and i wish you'd follow up on your own offer to step down.

be fair, he addressed every one of my points!

yeah, I tried that. sterling results.

who are the mods? Who died and made them Mod?

Wb morbs

would blow morbs?

ive already spent way more time than i ever wanted to talking about the SB thing on other threads, and i have zero beef w/you morbs, but acting like getting SBed by 52 people is like some sort of miniscule every day occurance is kind of disingenuous considering that the list of people that have managed it is basically a whos who of controversial posters on ilx. it seems to me that youve taken the more constructive position of figuring out that the way you and ILX political threads get along prob isnt good for anyone - why not just leave it at that instead of concentrating on whatever personal affront youve taken to getting 51ed?

i love that this reaction with the names of TOMBOT or HI DERE or me used interchangably keeps getting trotted out like the boring dead horse that it is every time something happens on the board that somebody doesnt like.

As I posted in the hours before I was muzzled, i am done done done with the politics threads

I have much real love for you sir but you know damned well that this ^^^ is at best a statement of intention not worth the paper it won't get printed on & at worse a total lie :)

welcome back tho!

i dunno i hear cafepress prints pretty cheap

wouldja like to make a bet, J0hnny? You can already see that "GOP antics" is going to be the Dem Ostrich poli-thread of choice til it's time to knock on doors in December 2011. I'd sooner debate a herd of freshly castrated wild boars.

jjusten, I have zero beef w/ you as well-- the fact that I've been here so long and don't really know who you are likely speaks well of you -- but sorry, no shame is eating away at me for being "controversial," one of those convenient words that can cover everything from ethan's daily adolescent monkeyshit to me pointing out that a historic rockstar president has no ideals. Dang P saying I need "to figure out how to express my hatred" -- sorry, nobody would say that to my face. It's chickenshit lecturing.

And you're right, this is really boring to discuss, or do anything about, I guess. Power-tripping student council weenies forever...

haha i have had drinks w/you!

i am unmemorable ;_;

i will remember you

I can't remember ppl's real and phony names simultaneously unless they're in my phone book!

haha no prob we were on a patio in NYC somewhere the day of some free show. IT IS A MYSTERY

oh, you mean the one almost no one got into?

it was at BOXCAR!!!!! iirc

I've met ppl for almost half a century, they hafta throw up on me or be A+ kissers to stick in the mind now.

^ great line

ban k3vin k.

you'd think a former stand up comic might have a better sense of humor about these things :(

ok actually that line kind of rivals meeting morbs and subsequently meeting the pavement.

Morbs <3 <3 <3

Please don't stay away from the political threads though, that would really be a shame!

I would like to make a bet! I will bet you an original of the pic I have taken of myself holding up the Sun-Times on that blessed morning this coming October when the Cubs win the World Series

I'd sooner debate a herd of freshly castrated wild boars.

lol @ "debate"

but if you're ready to debate rather than smugly hurl invective without commitment, then let's do it. The GOP antics thread doesn't provoke debate, you're right about that.

Well, that's part of it: I'm gonna "commit" what? More time? Am I nabisco? My natural inclination on poltix threads was to post links to more astute people who are expert at marking the Death of Everything. I get it, you hate it; I've stopped.

No tza, I don't have a sense of humor about being punitively and anonymously held to a different standard of BSin' on a freakin' bb.

smugly hurl invective without commitment

Many ILXors have this line on their resume.

you've been held to the exact same standard as every other poster on ilx.

but my comment was that you couldn't even have a laugh about BOXCAR!!!!
what has the world come to? ;_;

we respectfully disagree.

I assumed you legitimately meant I met JJ at the Boxcar Bar.

Nah, Dr. Morbius, what I mean by "without commitment" is that your politics (celebrating the Death of Everything) don't seem to be something you live, but something you talk about in order to point out to others that you're superior for seeing what they don't. You say that you're unwilling to do anything about it save sign a petition or post links on the internet. Whereas if you really though that the world is in trouble, if you were committed to that, I'd hope you'd try to do something substantive about it, instead of complaining that you're too busy.

I am committed to the concept that the USA ended in November 1980, and we're in a very long postgame show. As Beckett said, "Nothing to be done." And yes, unemployment is keeping me busy and terrified.

(also I shouldn't be arguing about the reason my ban was "upheld" by the mods, cuz I was never given a reason.)

the answer to life, the universe & everything is 51

Well, Beckett was committed to exploring silence. You're not (and for that I'm grateful, as I've said before; I know 51 others don't agree). I don't believe you're really that fatalistic; otherwise why not just be silent? My interest in this is having interesting views to argue against; echo chambers are boring.

why do ppl keep saying 51 when it's 52?

Eul, "rage against the dying of the light," y'know?

think it was 51 to begin with. maybe not. the point stands that treating it as a mod ban is facetious.

you will always be the master of ilx research, jaymc.

suggestion for sb system - an admin log of how many sbs everyone has used (and since when) :)

or maybe just how many over the last 6 months

Have you checked your number recently? You could very well be ILX's Patrick Swayze.

BOOM

captainlorax would only be ilx's patrick swayze if patrick swayze died of cancer, came back to life, and then died of cancer again

he did according to the National Enquirer

if you use that logic, Lj would be some sort of Buddhist saint.

what woudl that make Mr. Que?

lj should be unbannable
