Bananas and Nuts

That was aimed at a deleted post, but it works for Bahimiron’s too. It gave me a stroke while my brain tried to put it together.

I also liked Mightynute’s ‘faceballs’ statement. The thread is going places.

Mightynute:

It’s the internet. Therefore you shouldn’t take ANY of it seriously.

Well then what’s the point?

Ninja quote fail! We all have a duty to preserve others’ stupidity for posterity.

Shoot, I figured I had submitted at least 10 spam reports just from the great Ban nhac hay nhat the gioi scandal of March 2010. A record high of 20 reports from one person seems really low. I expected more.

I’m in the single digits somewhere myself (stusser can confirm the exact figure; perhaps it’s low teens but I doubt it), so 20 seems fairly high to me.

Bahimiron:

I don’t really know how unrelenting it is. I called you dumb, no one denied it, I got banned, life moved on. Have I been harassing you in thread after thread without realizing it?

Judge for yourself:

stusser:

OK, OK. So in the 623 total reports since we got email working on 3/9/09, the winning number still stands at 20 total reports, but #2 is a tie, ladies and gentlemen, pulling close behind at 19 reports. These three competitors are lapping the rest of you.

Your comment:

Bahimiron:

Would it be inappropriate to congratulate Lorini at this juncture?

Why are you harassing her here? What’s the background of all this?

Tyjenks · 2010-11-22T14:22:23.000Z

Now I want to know how many times I have been reported since I am abrasive in going off on people. You all suck!!! Eat me!

Athryn · 2010-11-22T14:24:05.000Z

I report every post of yours.

I miss the days of Qt3 when people could dislike each other without being retarded about it. When someone could share a stupid opinion and get ripped for it and not instantly burst into tears and demand report button retribution, but roll with it even if they sulked a bit. When dumb wasn’t the worst thing someone could call you and people didn’t act like you raped their cat when you expressed your dislike of someone.

And I haven’t even been here that long, people. More Bill Dungsroman, less retardation please.

Bahimiron · 2010-11-22T14:55:03.000Z

I was making an educated guess, folks. I don’t hold a grudge against Lorini. Lorini did not ban me. Hell, I don’t even have a grudge against Tom, even if I don’t agree with him a lot of the time. If anything jerri, you’re kind of going after me here, which kind of mystifies me since I don’t think we’ve ever really clashed. It’s fine, though. Nobody really has to like anyone else.

jerri_blank · 2010-11-22T14:55:15.000Z

I miss the days of Qt3 when people didn’t randomly call other people dumb.

Oh, wait. Those days probably never existed.

Yeah, those were good days. And then you and Bahimiron and the fun police showed up, with your report button attack dogs.

That’s a funny opinion, because you are one of the culprits whom made this place the report button/escalating sissyfighting arena it is.

How so?

Think you’re making some major assumptions here.

When dumb wasn’t the worst thing someone could call you and people didn’t act like you raped their cat when you expressed your dislike of someone.

Or when people just didn’t pick fights out of nowhere with people who aren’t even involved in the conversation, and aren’t flaming idiots like Koontz et al so probably don’t deserve it.

And I haven’t even been here that long, people. More Bill Dungsroman, less retardation please.

Well, even Bill admits that his approach to disagreements of nuke-the-bridges-and-salt-the-earth isn’t a sustainable approach to forum posting. Do it to people and posts who deserve it, not just because you’re having a shitty day and don’t care about making enemies unnecessarily.

I honestly don’t know who you think I reported, but unless it was the guy in the Kindle thread posting about penis pills or spatzi, you are incorrect. So, does this mean you’ve been lying all this time about having us on ignore? Cos your dishonesty makes me sad.

As for JM’s post, which I can’t quote due to iphoness, I really wasn’t trying to start a fight. It was a guess, though considering the subject was confidential reports, I see that it was a pretty tasteless guess to make. So, with no conditional statements or hedging attached, Lorini, I apologize.

I’m not going after you per se; I’m just mystified by the randomness of your attacks on Lorini. Maybe I’m the only one who’s curious about them. I never thought of her as a particularly inflammatory poster deserving of random insults, but I’m willing to concede that I might have missed something in another forum.

And don’t forget who brought her up in this thread today. Hint: it wasn’t me.

EDIT: Dammit, you weren’t supposed to apologize to Lorini while I was typing. Dick move.

JM1 · 2010-11-22T15:11:04.000Z

Good enough for me, I don’t want to bang on about it. Everyone’s on the same page I think.

Staff_Sergeant · 2010-11-22T15:11:56.000Z

Other than this thread existing for people to whine about things in, nothing has changed over the last 2 years other than Tom’s moderation. People were never less whiny, they just had the fear in them from one of a multitude of posters who would destroy them for the kind of posts that happen now. Now those people are gone, have chilled out, or don’t read this thread.
