Re: Grimhacker (just like the Quakers did it)

How many votes did you need?
Now, how 'bout them Lakers?

What?
You mean it ** isn’t ** basketball season?

(face turns red)

Yes I am happy to join in the shunning of grimy-ghoul-snacker or whatever his name is.

I’m in; I’ll sign the pledge.

I was just planning on shooting him, but this’ll work too.

Who??? I’m sorry there has never been anyone here by that name .

Keith

I swear to never even view his threads.

I promise to never acknowledge his presence, no matter how incendiary I find what he says.

Shit.

I just finished responding to another post about him, trying to be helpful.

Sorry.

But how well did shunning work back then?

What were people shunned for? Wearing skirts that showed their knees? Saying that maybe God was a woman?
Listening to Rock n’ Roll music?

Maybe sometimes they had legitimate reasons for a shunning, but before one does this, I think one should examine the offense carefully and see if maybe the shunee is just Misunderstood.

But not in this case.
You got my vote.

I find these “solidarity trains” boring, so I’ll choose not to shun the stupid little prick.

Don’t hold back so Demo, how do you really feel about Grimmycreton ?

But he’s given me some of my best material! (whine)

you heard the lady, now knock it off.

Sorry, folks–not me.

What little I’ve seen from Grimhacker doesn’t impress me, and he seems like a jerk. I have yet to say anything to him, or–until this thread–about him. I may well never bother with him.

But while I have my own mental list of posters I ignore on general principles, and he might manage to end up on it, I won’t join in some sort of group effort to shun him. That’s too much middle school “popular people get to shit on the outcasts” thinking for my taste.

(If it makes you happy, you guys can shun me for not shunning Grimhacker–that too is how the Amish do things, not to mention the 12-year-olds.)

As an erratic and infrequent poster, I’m not sure how much impact I will have, but…

Should I see this “Dimhacker”, I shall know that I see nothing, for he is but dust in the wind.

Should I hear him cry out I shall be unswayed, for I will know that I hear nothing but the humming of a mayfly.

Should he stand in my path I shall walk forward knowing the way is clear; I shall walk pass through him as I do stale air.

He is nothing, less than nothing.

I thought it was Kindergarden to Collage Freshman…

Anyway…

MysterEcks, no one is going to shun you. Grim bought this with his attitude. We’re not trying to be cruel, just make the SDMB a happy place again.

And as for school… I would have given my Hands to only be shunned.

I gotta go with MysterEcks on this one. If I see a positive post or thread from Grimmy to which I would like to respond, I will. I won’t, however, insult him or call him names, or give the kind of negative reaction he (for some strange reason) seems to be trying to draw.

This only proves what a sad pathetic asshole troll you are.

poof

that was the sound of you disappearing.

About third grade to college freshman, I’d say. But there are people on this board as young as 13, and I’m trying to neither insult them nor have to qualify everything to show I didn’t mean them.

Anyway, since Grim has been hacked–for being the return of Concrete/Jebus/*et al,*I suspect–the whole issue has been rendered moot.

That didn’t take too long. I guess you can call off the shunning. Since you guys had Grim spotted as someone who was banned and returned, I had faith that the mods/admins would get proof and send him on his way once again. In case no one has said it lately, I’d like to thank the moderators and administrators of this board. You do a bang-up job guys.

Shunning is fine and posting a link to this or similar threads in response to a case like Grimhacker is fair enough, but I think the “shunning tree” idea is not so good. If someone has a problem with a member they can email a moderator or say so here on the Boards. To have a shunning tree would be to create a real board clique.

picmr, what is a shunning tree anyway? I’m relatively new to the whole shunning business.
