He may be in a wheelchair, and he may look like a guy, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a butch lesbian.
Clockwork, you missed my edit. etv78 is acting alone.
I know? 
I’m posting from a grassy knoll.
Let me explain it simply.
There is no chance of a board war. We have a guy that acted independently and trolled another board. ONE guy. We know that, the mod from the other board knows that. There is no “somebody else”. It’s all etv78.
Nobody else. Just him.
Marley was talking about a hypothetical situation in which etv78 caused a board war. I’m perfectly aware, as I’m overwhelmingly sure is Marley, that there isn’t going to be a board war and that etv78 was acting alone.
Ok, 'nuff for me.
One question though; why the “dubious” face?
I can’t see how getting further data is not a good idea if you are researching a book.
That aside, Private Messages (IMHO) should be kept private.
Finally, this whole thread is rather “strange”. ATMB is supposed to be about the administration of the board (mainly) and bitching about other posters goes to the Pit. There is nothing said in the original post expressing dissatisfaction about administration.
I get the hypotheticals, but I don’t buy them here. Marley is looking at the forest, and I’m trying to point out that the forest is going to stay there - but there’s a tree about to fall on his house.
It’s really not that strange. This thread is about what the administration should do when a poster is a known troll - just not necessarily here. We know the guy is a troll. He said it in his OP. Do we harbor trolls, or not?
Now, as I said earlier, I recommend the mods do nothing - except watch the guy like a hawk.
But thats the way the powers that be want it.
You can bitch a person out in the Pit for doing what you think is stupid thing X…but since it’s not in ATMB its just bitching and or name callling. Or you can complain about action X here in ATMB but you aren’t technically supposed to mention the actual poster that is the reason you are bitching about X in the first place.
Whatcha gonna do?
Dio milked this “problem” for years
I agree. Marley himself said this is not the appropriate place to put etv78 through the wringer. How is it this thread hasn’t been closed or moved to the Pit?
I didn’t post the PM, I just vaguely described (to the best of my bad recollection) the general content. The actual PM remained private.
But let me just say, he was actually asking about someone with spina bifida. If he has spina bifida himself, WHY would he ever ask another person- who doesn’t even have the condition-(but is simply also handicapped) for information about how that condition affects the daily life of those it afflicts?
Bolding mine.
Is ATMB for that? I have never quite figured out what this forum is for. Bug/ad/malware complaints get joked away, and a lot of the griping about mods ends with “take it to the pit” or a polite version of “fuck off”.
Mods, maybe you should make a sticky about “What ATMB is for”.
It is half toilet, half daycare.
Of course not. Trolls live under bridges, not in harbors.
Talking with you I feel like I’m on crazy pills. Voltaire was the one advancing that the hypothetical was plausible.
The reason this is in ATMB is the question auolycus quoted above. Do we harbor trolls? What should the mods do if someone talks here about troliing over there?
I think that’s a good question that deserves to be in ATMB.
Wait until the poster does something actionable? It’s crazy but it just might work.
Where have I heard that before? Oh, right, me:
That’s still a hilariously over the top reaction. Why, so the minute he posts about his aircraft hangar of a vagina, he can be banned on the spot? If he loses his cool, the half a day it may take to ban him won’t touch you in the no-no place so relax.
