Why would I deny it, when you’re doing it right now?
You were so-close to a “Gotcha!” yet you missed because you don’t understand that when I post I am not attempting to silence others. If I don’t like a poster or a topic I can exercise my so-called free will and not engage with said poster or topic.
Don’t forget “hive mind” and buzzing.
Coolcoolcool–you weren’t trying to silence others when you were mischaracterizing posters in an attempt to provoke a response. That makes it spiffy keen.
If I was saying that, I would say that. I don’t do passive aggressive. I was however mocking your tendency to try and make pit threads about you.
As Bender said, “Not this one, he blew all his money on instant lottery tickets.”
I don’t have the power you think I do. The most I do is make a comment and respond to some of the comments that are made to me. I don’t control how or what others post. I am not the fabled Pied Piper of the Pit and these folks responding ain’t my rats.
No, but you sure as shit try your best.
This is probably where posters start posting recipes.
Holy shit, don’t let that asshole take over this thread! What the fuck?
Anyway, I suggest JimB be allowed to post all the bullshit he wants, as long as he does it in the Pit so we can ridicule him, call him self-hating and a homophobe, misogynist, etc. The problem is that he puts these ridiculous threads in the regular forums and no one there is allowed to call him an idiot or a transphobe, or an asshole, as necessary.
Band name!
You overestimate his appeal.

Maybe not so low as to be passive aggressive. But you have no issue with off-board gossip mongering.
You always get me laughing, Stranger.
Ah, well on that note, I’ll remind you not to bring up off board crap even in the pit. I will be flagging this for @Miller, but any further off-board stuff in this thread and I’ll suspend you 1 day while he makes his decision.

As noted, if you have an issue with how someone behaves on a different board, go yell at them on that board. Don’t bring it up here.
No warning issued.

I long ago learned that when I opened a thread and find the OP is jimbee, the best course of action is to immediately close the tab. That has served me well. Anyone that sends their science theories via USPS to random people, definitely has a van that looks like:
Sometimes if I’m really bored I’ll skim one of his OPs just for its amusement value. With regard to the question about whether he’s a low-grade troll or just a moron, the “moron” theory is partly supported by the fact that his writing style (not just the content, but the style) is suggestive of a genuine halfwit. So he’s either putting in the effort to pose as an authentic moron right down to the fine details, or he actually is one. Occam would have believed the latter. In the end, it really makes very little difference.

I’m not sure what you think the Pit is, but it’s not a place where you can go to ignore a direct instruction from the moderation staff. You were told:
This is you not following those instructions:
This is a formal warning for ignoring moderator instructions.

Yes, most clearly perhaps in the Jokes thread, where his submissions seem genuine, even innocent.
(If it’s acting, kudos — that’s a bit like when good professional actors have to pretend to be BAD actors for some scene in which their character is acting badly. Not just anyone can pull this off.)
