Bananas and Nuts

Charles:

The hilarity of your post is that you are one of the offenders.

And now with you throwing my past behavior back in my face, the circle is complete. :)

But seriously, it’s not that big of a deal anymore. Certainly not a big enough deal that you need to go into stealth mode over what you’ve worked on - unless it’s part of some kind of viral campaign where you don’t talk about it to get everyone interested in seeking it out. In which case, I will kill you in the face.

What did the wintermuse say legitimating her ban?

Dropped the ol’ tapir apparently, though edited it out. Plus 224 posts starting in October along with blatant trolling. I’m guessing it spilled out of P&R.

Oh, and apparently offensive images. Holocaust pictures, at that, which Tom deleted.

Hans_Lauring · 2010-11-05T03:24:02.000Z

Great, my statistic of ignoring people just before they’re banned is still holding true.
Anybody want to lay odds on Lynch and Octonoo?

Looks like Bago got the boot in that Iran/Holocaust thread, too. The image he posted was deleted though so not sure what he did.

Raife · 2010-11-05T03:53:23.000Z

Take a guess.

WarrenM · 2010-11-05T04:18:27.000Z

Holocaust thread? Why do you guys wait until I’m sleeping to break out the awesome?

Lynch · 2010-11-05T04:25:13.000Z

Bago too? He is a very insighful poster usually.

Kalle · 2010-11-05T04:27:22.000Z

Ze Germans. So antagonistic. Pace yourself before you invade Poland.

Robert_Sharp · 2010-11-05T05:11:25.000Z

The Holocaust thread is a myth.

It was a brutally graphic pic of a dead, mangled human being.

Probably the record for the most reported post ever.

Apparently the Queen Anne’s Pocket Melons have dull, flavourless flesh. They smell really good, though, so if you carry one in your pocket it acts as a kind of perfume. Hence the name!

A one-month waiting period to post seems like a good idea to me.

I’m not 100% sure of this, but I think it was a picture of Omar Khadr receiving first aid when he was captured on the battlefield. You can see it here:

WARNING, DISTURBING IMAGE OF BADLY HURT, BUT ALIVE, CHILD SOLDIER:

But yes, all the same, it is a disturbing image and doesn’t comply with the expected standards here.

Yeah, that was it.

I am neither in stealth mode nor hiding. I am just thinking about my own enjoyment of the forum. And it still happens. It was still happening as recently as a few weeks ago. It’s just more annoying than the enjoyment I get out of participating in threads. When that situation changes, I’ll start posting more. Until then, I’m fine with the way things are.

As to your “past behavior”, it wasn’t exactly a one time thing. And really, I haven’t missed your posts much. So there’s that too.

Neither a melon’s flavor nor its scent are important to JMJ. He only want to know if it’s easy.

Raife · 2010-11-05T06:31:12.000Z

Yeah, some melons require gifts and multiple dates.

I mean, uh, that’s what I’ve heard. From melon people.

WarrenM · 2010-11-05T06:33:36.000Z

Charles, you’ve thrown UT and Gears back in my face a few times so you can get down off the cross now. We all make mistakes but we move on and try to learn from them.
