Dear timesjoke

[ImWithStupid]

One of those numerous others was me, which makes me sound a bit hypocritical that I question his eventual ban.

 

I fully understand now.

 

When I was a mod over at GF, I banned or boxed jerkfaces for the same, immature sh!t.

 

You banned or boxed people for fun.

[eddo]

First of all, when you are placed in the "IDIOTS" group, that gives me the right to do whatever the hell I want to your account, this has always been the rule way back from GF, don't like it, tough...

 

While I don't have an issue with TJ being banned (his whining constantly is really freaking annoying) I do take issue with this statement, Bender. From the outset of Off Topic Forum, you and Cloaked have said that this place was different from GF, even down to the word filters. I, like TJ, think members profiles and such should be left alone by the admins, as constant messing with them will cause some serious trust issues within a board.

 

Don't let him get the better of ya Bender. they way you guys have been running this place has been very good. Please don't start stooping to old Phreakwars ways...

 

Eddo of course... he da man.

Nah, I think he's mad at me. Maybe I'll go chat with my half Venezuelan amigo:)

I'm not at all mad at you Chi. not even a little bit. Why should I be? Because you disagree with me? That isn't a good reason to get mad at someone, especially someone that still owes me topless pics.

 

 

I don't see how Timesjoke can be banned and Wez stays an active member.

 

Best. F ucking. Statement. Ever.

[phreakwars]

Wez is the Yang to eddo's Yin, why would I wanna get rid of him?

[phreakwars]

We all did... even the "I'M INNOCENT, PHREAKWARS DID IT" Tori Allen.

Wow. I am very, very saddened to see this. I hope TJ will be allowed to come back. He seemed like a very nice and civil poster.

ha!

Well I'm still pretty new and don't know everyone's personalities yet but one thing I can say is that I'd fight for pretty much everyone here if they were banned. Everyone seems really cool and to bring their own unique perspective to the table even if I don't agree with their views.

 

His personality might have clashed with some but that is not a bannable offense, IMO. I need to read through this entire thread before I say anything further. However, we should all be adults here and not wave the ban stick around towards controversial members. And like Eddo said above, I was under the impression JBS was not going to be ran like GF with staff abuse and account meddling? That is one of the reasons I joined. I would never have come back if all the old drama was the norm. It was hurtful, stressful, and unprofessional.

I don't think he should have been banned either. But who am I to question the Grand Bender?

Timesjoke was quite disrespectful. If you disagreed with his opinion, you were labeled a liberal. If you "didn't answer the question" (which he never did when asked), you were labeled a liberal. If you actually gave a true and honest answer, if it wasn't what HE was looking for, you "didn't answer the question"...and were labeled a liberal. He has to resort to calling everybody under the sun a liberal to "debate". I wasn't aware factual evidence was dependent on party lines. "Oh, look...that rock is right there points ." TJ: standing two feet in front of you, facing the other way "There's no rock. Just like a liberal, always lying about something." You: "Wait...what?"

 

[Phantom]

Is TJ really banned?

 

that sux... He was the only other conservative on here as far as I know...

 

Ahem.

 

Not so much offensive as it is annoying as hell. Have a complaint or 2, fine, but when you are given a reason behind it and you don't take it to heart and constantly dog on the admin/moderator, then ya, that's a problem. He's talking about letting things go, yet refuses to practice what he preaches... even when told by NUMEROUS others besides admin/mods to just shut the hell up and get over it.

 

The way I see it is when people fight for something, that means they truly care about it. Most people don't bother fighting for things they could not care less about. To me that says he cared about JBS and wanted to address the issues that concerned him.

 

Anyways, I liked the guy.

Oh so a man after my own heart, in other words. In that case, definitely bring him back! Death to liberals!

Absolutely. He did that with me, too. Even though I asked him not to label me something I didn't even consider myself.

Can I just call you an Obamite then?

Like I told TJ, labels are stupid. It's what segragates and automatically pulls people apart. It's what creates that US -vs- THEM mentality. It makes it more difficult to get past that initial "encumbrance" and finding common ground.

We don't like your kind around here.

What kind would that be? Label me:p

[Phantom]

Down with 'you people!'

[RoyalOrleans]

Exactly!! Hell, I am ALOT nicer then what I was on GF and alot more tolerant of the BS. I actually try to put myself more into the background and let IWS take on the moderating. I prefer to just post and BS like everyone else, not have crap thrown in my face. Hell that was the primary reason I stepped down as MOD in the first place on GF.

.

.

 

I concur.

 

Since certain expletives are blocked or "astericked" out, I try to watch what I say and tolerate the bs a little more. I also, do my absolute best, to word things the way my dear old departed grandmother would've said them.

 

Oh...

 

She had the heart of a saint and the mouth of a trucker.

[RoyalOrleans]

You banned or boxed people for fun.

 

I boxed people for fun.

 

I banned people because they damn well deserved it and it gave me a cool, tingly feeling all over.

[ImWithStupid]

Your kind = Them.

 

We = Us.

[phreakwars]

The very first so called "LIBERALS" were the Protestants who separated from the Catholic church. Basically, people who had a different view to what the Roman Catholics considered the definitive truth. Fast forward centuries later, the "LIBERAL" is now basically anybody who doesn't vote Republican. I really can't stand that US .vs THEM mentality, we are all the same, making those labels quite childish. If it wasn't for Liberal thinking, we would all be counting rosary beads. But that's simply not the case now is it? In essence, we are all "LIBERAL" somehow, even those who support Republicans and only Republicans.

I don't see how Timesjoke can be banned and Wez stays an active member.

 

 

I should be banned for what? Being annoying, disruptive, and defending myself? You don't like me? I don't care.

 

Unlike others, I don't try to manipulate the staff into doing my bidding or try to form a gang to bully someone out the door. I've never wanted anyone banned from anywhere and still don't.

 

I was banned.. last weekend. Other than some posts telling people to shut the hell/f ck up, I tried as kindly as possible to keep repeating actual events in response to accusations that my accusers are guilty of, and point it out to them.

 

How do you suggest I should handle someone hypocritizing me to gain some kind of illusionary upper hand? Reality is not something they understand.. They get what they give from me to the extent I feel like giving it. And what does what I choose to do in interpersonal relations to other people concern you? I don't see you appreciating someone telling you to accept something from someone else that's unacceptable to you to appease me.

 

I'm open to suggestions.. the one thing I wont do is stand idly by while people try to paint me out to be them or try to establish some kind of superior/inferior relationship.

 

Should you be banned for all your "wez is this and that" comments? Personally, I laugh at them.. perhaps you had something else in mind.. that's you, not me. Maybe if I cried a river all over the forum everyday and got pissed you'd fit your reasons why I should be banned?

 

Like the rules say.. put me on ignore.. Do I threaten you in some way?

Well wez with TJ everybody he disagreed with was a liberal and with you it's a hypocrate.

[ImWithStupid]

hypocritizing

 

Is that even a real word?
