I temp banned Paul

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Hi.

Tdarcos kept telling people to go fuck themselves.

I disabled his account for a week.

All Paul has to do, to circumvent the weeklong ban, is to post as a guest here and state that he will stop telling people to fuck off if they correct his posts. That's it, that's all.

Let's be honest. Paul is a *valued member* of this BBS. I am going through a difficult piece of life right now. All I want is Paul to stop doing what he did the other day.

Your decision. Your move. PAUL.

Totally agree, Paul got a little out of line but there's no reason to be too harsh on the man as long as he's willing to admit it. Plus, you guys are all friends here. Forgive and forget.

Yes, especially since there is no way for us to validate when messages have reached people or not. So I think this can work for everyone involved. Let's have a good week!

Totally agree, Paul won't read any of this until he comes back in a week. He can't complain about the ban because of it, you get to feel like a generous person for extending the olive branch, and Flack and pinback don't get insulted in the meantime. It all benefits everyone in the end.

On the other hand, I could log in with my emergency account and ask for my alias account to be restored since I was gone for the whole week. So I do so now.

I'm only doing this because Retroromper called me and recommended I come back.

And he's been added to my emergency contact list. Those of you who have your address listed on my Emergency List should have received it in the mail or should by Monday. Those whom I e-mail a PDF should be receiving it tonight.

You going to stop telling people to fuck off, every single post?

Wrong. It was not 'people' it was the same single person.

One person had a spelling error - which the spell checker should have caught, meaning he ignored it - so I pointed it out. Okay, so in response, does he pick on me back once, twice, three times? Which would have been funny. No, he has to do it ten, twenty times, for every single item. This crosses the line from teasing to meanness.

I was polite about the one item. He comes down on me like a ton of bricks smashing on me many, many times. But if you're going to be sarcastic and mean at me, you take the risk I'll respond in kind.

But, I'll give an even bigger response. You said I did this to 'people.' "People" implies more than one person. Please show where my response was directed to anyone else, and I'll even apologize.

As I noted, I was being a little bit nit picky by correcting his spelling mistake. So rather than maybe two or three times, he comes smashing down on me with a mean response that went way over the line.

None of you liked the equivalent response to his pound, and pound, and pound on me, over, and over and over and over. You know, if you kick a dog often enough he's liable to bite back.

Did I overreact? Yeah, looking at it now it was probably too much and maybe I needed to be less insulting. But I was pissed off by his clear overreaction which went from potentially funny to downright mean. So maybe I overreacted.

Let's not forget I'm going through this goddam shit with the fucking Jury Commissioner's office that I can't get those morons to understand that if I can't get there by 7:30 but can get there by 7:45, the answer is to give me permission to arrive 20 minutes late, not give me a new 7:30 appointment a month later. (I got the new summons in the mail on Thursday.) I can see nobody there unable to understand and this escalating so much that either I have to demand an accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities act or get a disability lawyer to take it on a contingency basis and make a federal case out of it. Which I shouldn't have to; I'm in the same situation as if I was an ordinary man who could walk and had to take The Bus.

And Flack, I should not have cursed at you. Your chronic, constant, continuous pounding upon me a myriad of times for a single, minor nit pick just pissed me off.

Since getting corrected pisses you off, either this should have started "I can see nobody there able" or "I can see nobody there is able" or "I can see everybody there is unable"

You need not thank me, the fucks you give are enough.

I have to take Paul's side on this one. Sure, his timeline of events is completely wrong, but how can anyone stay upset at this man:

Okay, I thought it was one person and the same one picking on me. I was wrong for losing my temper so badly. I apologize and I regret my actions which cause this incident. I wish I had chosen a different response.

Oh yes, "I state that I will stop telling people to fuck off if they correct my posts. That's it, that's all."

Yeah, well it as Billy Mays who did it first, and the problem with old software here that won't let you scale an image. Even Caltrops will accept the width="400" or whatever size desired on the <img tag.
