Speaking as a physician who deals with a lot of behavioral issues (my patients and my own), the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
Such as this thread?
That’s heavy!
That and his pitting of SenorBeef over some Game of Thrones shit. I suspect that thread not going the way he intended jaded his view of the Pit more than this one.
I have to admit to a small amount of pride when @TokyoBayer and I forced him to admit the tales of his dad’s service in the South Pacific were bullshit.
This is exactly my experience as well. He even came into unrelated threads to continue the strange hijack.
He won’t “mend his ways”. He can’t.
I missed where this happened.
He’ll get worse, I suspect. If anything, this suspension will just make him even more obsessed.
This topic was automatically closed after 10 hours. New replies are no longer allowed.
Ooooo, gun ports uncovered, full broadside rolled out port and starboard side. Someone’s coming around to rake!
Why was it closed? And why opened back up?
If memory serves it was supposed to be an opportunity for a sort of fresh start after a long suspension when it closed (I’m not 100%—there was also an ATMB thread about it, but I’m not interested enough to review to see if there was a more explicit reason given). But definitely related to the suspension:
As for why it’s reopened… maybe he’s up to something in another thread? IDK. I just assume someone must have requested it. Still standing by for that broadside.
It was me - I wanted a dedicated place to mock that of course he knows the Wizards of The Coast staff and contributors.
Because Gygax is dead now, so being chummy with him wouldn’t work for this argument.
And the smarmy tone of it, too…
No, nothing devastating. But also nothing worth making a new thread for when this one was sitting in stasis, with its previous examples of him using the same laughable tactic.
‘My dad invented 3d6.’
Gary (I used to call him Uncle Gary) originally wanted all random outcomes to be determined by iterative series of coin flips, but dad helped him invent polyhedral dice.
This thread if anyone is interested
I mean, I know a couple of 'em too. Doesn’t mean I’m especially spiffy myself, and I’m sure not going to try to use my friendships to win an irrelevant argument (the argument isn’t even about whether they’re racist, it’s about whether the product has racist notes).
It’s kind of weird to pull a YOU DON’T KNOW ME I MEAN THEM about WOTC employees. But DrDeth is kind of weird.
Same thread which prompted this one in the first place, BTW.
Oh wow, so it is! 1,200 posts, and we’re right back where we began.
