Blackacre.

Well, he spent his $14.95 like the rest of us. You can’t blame him for trying to get the most out of his allowance money, can you?

I’ll second the opinion of others; since he (and his familiar, snaggletooth) is so gung-ho on killing “insurgents” he should seriously consider putting his money where his mouth is and “be all that he can be.”

Once he graduates high school, that is.

If I’m correct in my recollection, only admins can actually ban a poster, not the mods. Perhaps there’s a temporary admin shortage, soon to be remedied.

A mod has the power to close
A thread that makes folks hold their nose
But admins are the ones
With the really big guns
That can BANg out the troll-slaying blows.

I’m a lumper, not a splitter. :slight_smile: But yeah, maybe the admins are on vacation this weekend…

I think you mean Reagan. According to Kinky Friedman, a “Nixon” is what comes out.

Kinky Friedman, much esteemed leader of Kinky Friedman and His Texas Jewboys, holds a place of the highest regard in this country boy’s heart. Nonetheless, regarding the proper names for stinky orifices, I will keep my own counsel.

I seem to think that publicly berating the administration, especially with a whine for them to ban someone would also be in violation of board etiquette.

Keep in mind, that most of your links go back to 10/22 and 10/23. Without wanting to waste my time with a detailed analysis of his posts since then, perhaps it’s the case that Blackacre backed off from his violation of forum rules… until just recently. The other link that shows his ‘jerkiness’ is recent, as is his troll warning from TVeblen, which was only issued only this morning (and by a Mod, who can’t do bannings).

Give the admins time to react. Or should they all spend the entirety of their Sunday clearing the boards of jerks?

I don’t suppose you sent an email, which is the proper way to handle this?

That our friend is a jerk is beyond argument. That his lust for blood is obscene is likewise beyond argument. If you talk to the people on these boards who have wrapped their comrades in their ponchos and left them for the choppers to carry away, who have seen friends killed and maimed, who have had to write to the widows and parents of their dead soldiers, who have looked in a man’s eyes are they shot him you will find little of the enthusiasm and blood lust our friend exhibits.

What amazes me is that our friend’s comments are not met with the silent disdain the deserve. A response simply gratifies the poster and dignifies his contention. We really ought not to encourage this sort of horse shit.

::Puts “Asshole from El Paso” on the stereo and dedicates it to our friend Blackacre::

I think refering to the OP as “berating” the administration is a tad hyperbolic.

Petulantly demanding?

Aah yes, that’s so Moriah… :wink:

If I wanted to pit the administration, I would have. I pitted Blackacre. I asked why he was still here simply to express my exasperation at his asshattery. But don’t let that bring you down off your self-righteousness high, moriah.

Asking why someone is still here after having broken forum rules is in effect asking why they haven’t been banned yet.

That is a question only the admins can answer. Thus, you’re directing your whine at the admins. Rather, the appropriate thing to do is to email them in this situation. But you haven’t answered my question of whether you’ve done that yet.

A pit of Blackacre (despicable moron that he or she is) would have been directed at Blackacre. Not a thinly veiled rhetorical question that is pointed at the admins, your exasperation notwithstanding.

Guardian of Paradise my ass. More like unofficial bratty Jr. Mod.

No, fuckdip. I am not whining for the admins. I am not pitting the admins. You seem to fail to grasp the distinction between the apparent intent of a rehtorical device and the actual intent. Something tells me you are not a Verhoeven fan.
The pitting was directed at *Blackacre. I take it you’ve never responded to someone who annoyed you by saying “You’re still here!?” (The inflection generally involves much feigned disgust and rolling of eyes.)

Given that he has been warned twice in three weeks for trolling, I am surprised he hasn’t been banned, but that is only tangentially relevant to my pitting him.

Yeah. Me. Junior mod SNERK Oh, excuse me. Have a little cough. Are you getting enough irony in your diet?

[robert’s rules of disorder] Point of Order:Just want some clarification, but I thought that questions about administration of the boards were supposed to go in the pit? Am I to understand that any queries of the admins decisions are, instead, to be handled in email? Is this an official rule, or simply an practice that has evolved? [/robert’s rules of disorder]

I really think we need to go back to this. What group to send him to. My vote goes for the Peoples Front Of Judea.

How about Otakus for a Better Tomorrow?

How about to the Kamchatka Lutheran Fellowship*?

  • With my luck at silly ideas lately, though, there are probably thousands of Chukchi and Kamchadals having lutefisk dinners to celebrate Reformation Day.

WHAT!?!?! The Front Of The People Of Judea desrve him!

Y’know, I thought BlackAcre II was the best. I mean, BlackAcre I was just snively, and while BlackAcre III and IV had great sarcasm, I just love the Elizabethan setting.
