Counter-offer: Don’t be here.
Can I translate that as: “Yes, you’re right Crow, I was wrong about the rules again.”?
No. It’s just a boring and ultimately pointless distraction. We all know to paraphrase Stalin it’s not what the rules are it’s who enforces them that matters.
I concur, you constantly complaining about what you think the rules are and what they should be is boring and pointless.
Just to clarify.
Well, I’m not really suppose to use the word Troll even in ATMB (unless announcing a suspension or banning). A guidance more than a rule, but it puts me in the Pit to communicate. Also this thread has brought up Roger many times.
FTR: I don’t think your post would qualify as complaining about modding. I would reject such a flag myself.
I don’t know how this fits into your plot to ban octopus . . . but I will figure it out!
Believe it or not, no plot or plan to ban him. I wouldn’t even say he is close to a suspension. I know he is disliked but he really doesn’t run afoul of the rules or cause any real problems.
I’m speaking only for myself though. Maybe I don’t pay enough attention to him, but I don’t think he has more than the 1 warning I recently gave him for hijacking.
Oh, I do know you were mostly joking, but I felt I should clear that up anyway.
In general, I don’t think any mod appreciates someone alleging – even in jest – that we have a “plot” afoot to ban a particular poster. I do understand it was meant as a joke in this instance.
I would even go so far as to say that it seems to me like we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to keep them around.
No, no, it’s octopus that claims that What_Exit is plotting, off board, to ban him.
I’m making fun of octopus’ claim.
I appreciate the clarification. I can’t say I’ve been following the discussion and took your comment as a stand-alone. If I owe you an apology for misunderstanding, you have it.
It’s less any specific discussion and more a convoluted conspiracy theory that pits octopus against a ‘hive’ of woke fascists who are out to get him because he’s super handsome or something, I dunno, it’s all white noise after a while.
This almost reads like a comment about a specific group of people and the job they’re doing. Here, in the Pit. Why, I never. clutches pearls, looks for fainting couch
I have a suspicion that the late lamented Roger is back already. First two threads (both in in Great Debates) by “long time lurker”:
The USA is horrible despotic oppressive country
The Supreme Court just killed the Republican Party
I can’t be bothered to go back and trawl through Roger’s prior body of work, but isn’t this a similar style?
I don’t think one can be banned for being a sad little man. So Octo is safe.
Do you think it should have happened faster?
If I call myself Amasamata can I count as a new poster too?
Funny…I had the same thought. The posting style sure see,s familiar, but I am terrible at recognising socks.
We must take care to be gentle with a legitimate new member.
I hope you are enjoying your time here and choose to stick around!
This comment by @octopus really bothers me a lot and I want to say so publicly.
