Right around the time Cesario was posting, we had some other guy sign up and claim to be a pedophile, and like Cesario, had never acted on it. Only unlike Cesario, he realized he was messed up, and wanted to seek help for it, but didn’t want anyone to find out. Okay.

Later on, he started revealing stuff about his past, like his father was insane, and had abused him and his siblings. Apparently he kidnapped them from their mother, who had full-custody, held them hostage and almost got into a shoot-out with the police. And that recently his father got out of prison and wanted to contact him, but he didn’t know how he felt.

Shortly after that though, he was banned and his posts were cornfielded.

What does it mean, “cornfielded”?

I had fun with **NotFooledbyW**. A one man assault on Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

Whether you agree with that invasion’s legal justification or not, **NFBW** had the unique ability to get posters from all sides of the political spectrum to shit on his theories.

It’s from an old _Twilight Zone_ episode where a young kid had the power to teleport people he didn’t like to the “cornfield”, a sort of limbo away from his reality.

Everybody had to kiss his ass and agree with everything he wanted unless they wanted to get sent to the cornfield for upsetting him.

Kewl!

Thanks, I’ll study up on that.

Does it mean banned on the SDMB?

I believe “cornfield[ed]” refers to threads or posts, not the the poster, and means they’re deleted (but not really, they’re still on record but not visible to us normal mortals).

And technically it’s not really from a Twilight Zone episode, the episode itself was based on an original sci-fi short story, though for the moment I don’t remember the title or author.

I’m fine with being corrected–ignorance fought! I just remembered the TV show.

Believe me, you don’t want to see what’s in the cornfield. Three-headed gophers ain’t the half of it.

You guys never get to see the _real_ crazies, at least not for very long. Necrophiliacs, purported cannibals, Justin Bieber fans…

I had forgotten that thread. I was happy with forgetting that thread. Why did you put it back into my memories? ☹

- **KSG** (I think that was his name), who was a diagnosed schizophrenic who had this inivisible friend named Nathaniel that he’d send out to terrorize people he didn’t like.

That one kid ( **Kyle Raynor**?) who thought that a vigilante like Batman would solve all our problems, because cops sucked.

And while the most infamous anti-circumcision poster was JDT, we also had some dude who insisted that circumcision was the same as being raped.

Okay, not necessarily that odd of a poster - just a different level of squeamishness tolerance. But this was maybe my favorite early :eek: [threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=37847). Enjoy :).

we had a college aged poster who was normal around here until hed get stoned drunk or both …Well one night he did the aforementioned got the munchies and couldn’t decide between a frozen bean and cheese or a frozen beef and cheese burrito at the 7-11 and posted an epic drunken rant on why they don’t make a burrito that had all 3 in it (oddly enough most places don’t )

the thread was kept open for a few days in which harility ensued

but why I remember is the am/pm here gets a gourmet burrito that’s as long as my forearm cost about 5 bucks and advertises its self as the only frozen burrito that has all 3 in it

The Simpsons version from Treehouse of Horror II is pretty good also. Can’t find a free link offhand.

Am I on this list yet? I swear my posts are highly unorthodox at times (or the way I write them down is unorthodox), mostly due to the fact I’m not used to chatting in a normal message board- outside of this board, I’m on message boards that deal with pornography, others for anime, retro games and weather simulators (er, make that one weather simulator.

Maybe I’m more sane than I thought.

Out of the whole whopping four months I’ve been here, the only odd one currently in the bunch seems to be ZPG Zealot.

Seems like we ought to be able to steer the Justin Bieber fans to the cannibals. And then, if there’s anything left of them, to the necrophiliacs.
