It does. I thought he was serious and was bragging or something.
Welp, the not so good captain has been banned.
No announcement, if you’re referring to kirkrapine. Sock, perhaps? Whose?
That’s the part about socking that I don’t understand. Say it was a sock of a long time poster. I can see no announcement for sock, but would there also be no announcement for the banning of long time poster?
So I would guess just short term troll, banned, no announcement.
I took a look at his posts via the “search” feature. I didn’t see anything too inflammatory. I didn’t look for warnings, but I didn’t come across anything ban-worthy.
I know accusing a new account of being a sock is fun for you guys, but you tend to overdo it. I was once accused of being a sock on an LJ forum, so I just went along with it even though I had no idea who the original antagonist was. They were all nannies anyway, so I left a few days later.
Not when the sock belongs to a previously banned poster.
Post #10077:
Pity, because this guy was considerably less awful than the other new troll. As in, he actually contributed something to the board, even if that something was mostly teenage-level questions.
That makes sense. Thanks.
Really? The “Minstrel shows, they sure were great!” thread didn’t at least make an eyebrow twitch?
Way over here in western Pennsylvania I could feel your eyebrows twitching. Kudos to you for not blowing up and getting a warning.
I would guess the trock planned on moving in that direction over time.
I just did a cursory look. That one escaped my attention. And I don’t condone or subscribe to that viewpoint.
That was weird. I mean, he was literally the only person I have ever heard bemoaning the passing of the minstrel show. And in 2019!
Speaking of trocks, I wonder when King Nifty last tried being clever, man.
Per this thread, kirkrapine was indeed a sock.
Odd practice, that. If I am ever suspended and I don’t feel like I had it coming, you’ll never see me again in any guise. Why give the site ad income if you’re pissed?
And Max S seemed damn near obsessed with that banning. He started like three threads in ATMB about bannings.
Maybe he just really, really likes minstrel shows.
Emiliana, I’ve been meaning to tell you how great your OP was. I still see it when I mouse-over the thread title.
It has been my experience that when newish posters are banned without comment, they were inevitably a sock.
To answer your question, it’s because they’re right and the brilliance of their ripostes would make everyone see just how right they were if only those meanie mods didn’t ban them.
IOW, it’s a crazy person thinking doing the exact same thing this time will yield a different result from all those other times.
