CT Shooter Thread in the Pit

Closed pending staff discussion of policy issues raised by this thread.

What policy issues?

Looks like a sticky wicket, hey?

Yeah, those wicket need a serious discussion on how to keep them from getting sticky.

I suggest Pam cooking spray or Vaseline.

Gun policy. Take it up with Joe Biden.

Maybe it was because Starving Artist was attempting to sell his cites instead of just giving them away, and deals like that belong in The Marketplace?

All threads that go over 15 pages will automatically get a Starving Artist tag?

Was curious about what policy issues myself…

I expect it’s about the speculation on a poster’s location. I wish it was about the way people respond to Starving Artist and allow him to dominate threads.

I suspect you’re right, but really they only were using information that he himself has posted to the boards. It’s not like they were bringing up anything he had put somewhere else on the Internet.

I imagine he’s probably 20 different kinds of butthurt right now.

It makes me smile.

Gonna go brush. Bated breath and all.

Not to mention that he basically challenged RickJay to figure it out:

Yup, if SA doesn’t want to discuss his location he shouldn’t discuss his location. Any mod or admin could always determine the location of his IP address anyway, but this was deduced entirely from the things Starving Artist himself has posted. He was pretty much taunting participants of the thread to guess where he lived, and they did.

Much like the paper towel tube incident, now he is apparently seeking special protections from TPTB in preventing people from discussing information he has posted publicly because he no longer likes the context it is being discussed. And much like the paper towel tube incident, there is really no turning back the clock at this point.

We weren’t debating whether or not it was for sale-we were debating the price.

I know. Too easy.

There a few potential issues that could be involved like SA getting to dictate what people can discuss, Mods goading people into disclosing information, wagers being made on the board or god knows what had gotten into Zotti’s craw this time. I mean who could have possibly predicted what ensued that last time Ed decided to get involved.

What ensued? Did it have anything to do with fucking a cactus?

Well, it wasn’t penis that ensued. Definitely not penis.

I think it is becoming clear that SA is becoming a megatroll, I decided to virtually avoid replying to him; unfortunately, many are continuing to feed him and IMHO several threads he is getting involved should had been closed a long time ago, in the attempt at containment the moderator even merged another stupid thread with plenty of SA material to that monstrous rapist one.

I know that the intention was to keep him committed to his “WINNING” thread, but instead he is metastasizing to other threads.

Meh. I look at SA as trifling performance art.

SA is the new Dio.

No he isn’t.
