I posted a response to a GQ thread. **Louis B.** insulted me in GQ, a bannable offense, and was mildly scolded. Then a Mod stepped in and ordered me to not respond anymore, or I’d get banned. Every heard of that before? Don’t post any reply to a specific thread, not even to defend yourself, or you’re banned? Didn’t think so. Then I opened an ATMB thread asking about this policy of restricting posters from replying to a specific thread - asking about a message board policy in “About This Message Board” - and it was closed for some bullshit random reason. But not before **Reeder** stepped in and accused me of being a sock, and asked that I be banned. Another bannable offense if I understand the rules correctly, yet was he banned for doing so? He accused me of being a sock and requested I be banned, and wasn’t even mildly scolded. Well, was he right? Mods, am I biographylongnameidiotboy? No, I’m not. Nice try, and fuck you. Like I need another screen name to deal with you fools. Get over yourselves. It works like this: special rules for certain people. Sound familiar? Goodwin’s Law is what I think someone once said to me. I’m not allowed to post again to defend myself against an insult in GQ or I get banned. I’m not allowed to ask about a special rule created just for me w/o having the thread locked. **Louis B.** and **Reeder** CLEARLY VIOLATE BOARD POLICY, and they don’t get banned. What the fuck? If you people think you have an impartial forum that welcomes new ideas, you are sorely mistaken. **Enforce the same goddamn rules for everyone, or don’t enforce them at all.** Fucking hyopcrites. ---

:rolleyes: That’s right folks, Uekte is whining becuase banning wasn’t used as the first and only punishment around the SDMB. I don’t see where calling you a sock puppet is against the rules, let alone a bannable offense. The other guy got his punishment, so what is the problem? Godwin’s law does not apply to you. Not even close. Get thee to USENET and learn or shut up. ---

Well hey, at least **Uekte** is expanding his repertoire a bit. No longer can it be said that he only posts on the general theme of “old people are a menace to society.” He’s now a _two_-trick pony with the addition of the “All mods are Nazis” schtick. Congratulations! ---

My only wonderment is that the Mods haven’t banned you yet. Shit, you ought to be remanded to a psychiatric health facility, as you are clearly a sociopath with a dangerous obsession. If you’d bothered to read the rules, you’d know that General Questions is for just that. You did not provide any attempt at an answer to the OP, you just made another snide comment. FTR: everyone who responded to you in that thread was warned not to ‘bait you’ or they would be banned. So obviously you aren’t being picked on, _little boy_. Go see if you can get someone to change your diaper, as you’re obviously festering in your own shit. ---

Eh? Speak up sonny, I can’t hear you. FYI, **Reeder** accused biographywhatever of being _a_ sock, not your sock. He was correct. Contrary to your apparent belief, you are not the only asshole on this board. We’ve got a few, including one who likes to create socks and who has way too much time on his hands. Your thread in ATMB was closed because this is the proper place for complaints about the administration of this message board. As to the GQ thread, I barred you from replying because you are very stupid and could not possibly have a factual answer to the question at hand. As to your (equally stupid) _opinions_ about the aged, they belong in other forums. But you just go on believing that I have the time for persuing a personal agenda against a pissant. Can you guys believe that I’m counting on _this guy_ to fund my social security? I think I’ll go up my 401-K contribution now… ---

How can you say the ATMB thread was closed for some “bullshit random reason” when everybody told you it was in the wrong forum. Pissst… Hey **Uekte** , I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Don’t tell anybody but. . . . the mods _really are Nazis_. It’s terrible here man. I’ve been trying to leave this place for almost **3 years** but the admins have got their Nazi, arbitrary claws into me. It’s not too late for you, though. Get out!

Not only are they Nazis, but they’re all really old. I mean, these guys were with Hitler on the Night of the Long Knives and the 1936 Olympics and all that, so you can imagine how damn old they must be. ---

> [@](#): > > FYI, Reeder accused biographywhatever of being a sock, not your sock. Wrong. He said “Socks don’t have a long lifetime here. Here’s hoping all the handles involved get banned.” You’re telling me he wasn’t suggesting that I get banned? That I wasn’t the other handle? Uh-huh. So, in your OPINION, I couldn’t possibly have a factual answer. Your OPINION allows you to create a special rule just for me? In your OPINION, my ATMB thread was a complaint. Wrong. It was asking for clarification about where the rules say you can forbid a poster from participating in a specific thread. So what will your excuse be for closing this thread? Or rather, which OPINION will you pick to abuse your power and close it? I can’t wait to see how the rules are once again bent just for me. And for the record, **I** was the one accused of being a Nazi b/c of my suggestion for a large scale government regulated old people home. I’m suggesting that a message board that changes the rules when it suits them to deal with a specific poster is more Nazi-like. Get your nose out of each others’ asses and READ rather than immediately piling on, and maybe you’d see that. ---
