I actually wish types like pashley and CalifBoomer were not so quickly banished. What good is a kingdom without a few village idiots and fools to kick around?
But I guess there will always be a steady stream of new ones applying for the position. Without exile, we likely would be awash in them.
I think we need a Sockpuppet Filter: all the puppet’s posts would be replaced by “Hi, I’m [name of puppetmaster]. I have a weak argument. And a very tiny dick.”
I swear, kids these days…why, I remember the halcyon days of sockpuppetry; when I managed to sock-puppet “andros”, “Clark K” and “David B” flawlessly, registering them well in advance of any need and being sure to post several thousand posts in a distinct “voice” (well, except for “Clark K”, I never could really figure out what his motivation was supposed to be.) Heck, I even made sure to simulpost with my sockpuppets! You know, this sort of shoddy attention to detail is why the Japanese are going to kick our butts… ::g,d&r::
Yeah, it takes a real Grade-A Christian to be purposefully deceitful by creating false personages for message board posting; to brazenly defy a contract to which one is a signatory; and to openly, publicly and obnoxiously defy the duly constituted authorities on this MB, in defiance of Paul’s admonition to obey earthly authorities.
You must be very proud of yourself. I’m glad they aren’t all like you.
I believe Satan was the first to indicate that Everest was a sock puppet. Does he get some kind of award for that? I think he should, or at least a title.
I think it’s fine of you to admit your identity this way Everest/Pashley/Apologist, especially after the small dick/village idiot comments above. It takes courage to admit you are a village idiot with a small dick who was caught cheating. So I say “Kudos to the jester for putting on his motley for the enjoyment of onlookers!”
AFAIK, CalifBoomer hasn’t been banned. Nor should he be. He may often act the putz, but he has more personal integrity and intelligence in his little finger than pashley does in his whole body. I may be damning Boomer with faint praise here.
I think pashley/Everest/Apologist has earned our obligation to post only “DNFTT” in our responses to him. Accordingly:
DNFTT
Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
C’mon, guys, if you want to fling direct personal insults (at an admittedly extremely tempting target), just take it to the Pit. “Apologist” has hopefully been banned already, BTW.
Yes I think it does. You get the award/title/whatever. Anyone want to think of an official award/title to be handed out. I think Esprix would get one to, as well as some other people. You could add it to your sig line.
Oh well. Doubt I’ll lose much sleep over the loss of Boomer. Kind of pisses me off, though, that I really did try to turn the guy around and he has to get himself booted for puppetry.

in regards to SingleDad’s comments.
I think it does tell us something about their respective characters though. These were people who were fanatical about their beliefs, I think that having no one else agree with them, having no one else see “the truth” drove them nuts. They had to construc followers to agree. Ithink it shows a fundamental doubt over the truth of their own arguments.

And everyone keep your eyes open - there’s another formerly banned poster who is back, but hasn’t revealed himself yet. Be patient, young pupils, and we will be rewarded…
