And again for the record, I am not entirely sure it’s an act. I said early on in the thread that it’s quite possibly intoxication.

I just didn’t have the motivation to go back and look it up. Your name is fine. I mean, mine is apparently some sort of nazi symbology. If I weren’t so lazy I might ask them to change it.

I don’t see how suddenly deciding he’s over the limit would be any less arbitrary. Giving an exact rule that has to be followed by everyone would be the exact opposite of arbitrary.

This.

Reading \*one \*of his OPs was fine. But every _ **post** _? Not so much.

Have you ever stopped to consider that other people might feel the same way about your own posts?

Seriously, the most amusing irony here is that the most boring and unimaginative posters are the ones throwing the biggest fits.

The point here is that a few people who have very specific ideas about what is entertaining to them shouldn’t get to decide what entertains everyone else. Stop thinking your taste is all that matters, or that you’re the final arbiter of entertainment. You don’t like it, don’t click on it. Now if it’s in the entirely wrong forum, fine, but your only bitch here is that you don’t think it’s funny and that you are somehow forced to click on his threads. The saddest part is that you folks don’t even realize how hypocritical and stogy you are being.

Much ado over nothing, but here we are having a thread asking the mods _not_ to boot this person on behalf of, well, people like you. It’s really quite telling that we have to do so.

Game, set, match.

-5 Auto points for misspelling ‘stodgy.’

huh?

Where do I ask anyone to boot anyone?

Why are you so emotionally involved in the posting style of SK?

I have no illusions about everyone liking my posts. But everyone can read them without trying to figure out WTF I’m saying. If you find my posts boring and unimaginative, I assume I’m on your ignore list. Which makes me wonder how you saw my reply to this thread. :dubious: And if you believe your posts are anything other than boring and unimaginative, please provide an example.

Here’s the problem as I see it. This board, like it or not, has a certain posting \*\*\*style \*\*\*to it. To ignore that style is SK’s right, I suppose, but one-trick-ponies usually have a short life span here. They become tiresome.

I didn’t read his posts until this thread and had never heard of SK until this thread, so I’m not too worried about it. Why you are, however, is really quite telling.

But the basis (for example ‘no more than 1 percent of your threads may be posted while stoned/pretending to be a gangsta’) would be arbitrary. Why one percent instead of two? And it would be easy to avoid any rule like that anyway. Make a couple of ‘me too’ posts and you’re back under the magic number. I think ‘once in a while but not every freaking night’ is a reasonable guideline.

And yet we’re not banning him and haven’t warned him. The thread is not necessary and neither is this hostility.
