Missin U <3 - lamentations for those felled by the SB

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!

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.

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.

isn't it subject to their review? if not, that's even worse.

It's 51 that triggers the autoban script or whatever. It runs once a day, I think at midnight UK, and Morbs wound up at 52 before that script ran for that day.

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

What "reason" do you want? The "reason" is because at least 51 people SB'd you. Don't claim you don't know how that works, because you've SB'd other posters! What did you think you were doing then, inviting them over for ice cream?

xpost it is, but not in a tampering-by-default way, is my understanding. i'm open to correction on that.

What did you think you were doing then, inviting them over for ice cream?

Yes, because 1) for a long time, no one I knew of was banned, and 2) it's all undemocratic bullshit. (No wonder "state secrets" don't draw any any anger on ILE.)

Really, if it's automatic, i'm doomed. Do you really think I'm not gonna piss off ANY 51 ppl again?

I would not trust 51 random ILXors telling me I was on fire.

nothing to do with john justen/tombot/hi dere obv but I love how the site programmers ignore the fact that suggest ban is an obviously stupid and useless feature that needs to be removed immediately

considering how every time someone is suggest banned a clusterfuck happens and nobody feels good or satisfied about it

petition, plz.

speak for yourself

i like sb

wtf I've never even considered using it

what i'm saying is, don't say "nobody feels good or satisfied about it" because you don't speak for everyone

sorry

bb lawyering, all of a sudden. from that guy.

52 / 4,821 = 1.08%

okay seriously, enough of this
