And shitting up the Steam Sales thread, and shitting up the Borderlands 2 thread, and... It's a body of recent work happening outside Sanctum, really. lol temp-ban, wtf jerri
Lum makes his sun rise on the evil as well as the good, and sends rain down on the just and the unjust alike.
Why would I ban you for asking a question? That's silly. It was totally a judgement call on my part, and it was not the first time this happened. I also think Brett's post was more vitriolic/nasty than BillD's but again it's a judgement call like everything else. I do hope it's a wakeup call for Brett as he has been a valued poster in areas where he's not vitriolic/nasty.
Yeah, he was sort of known to invite people to ask questions and then to come down on them when they actually, you know, did, even on those occasions when the questions weren't nasty.
You mean, as in the thread which was The Thread for Discussing Why I Banned All Those Bad People But Don't Question Why I Banned All Those Bad People? Like that?
Of course he can. That's the "tyrannical prerogative" reason, which I can only account for the continued lack of application as Lum having really amazing reserves of patience. Brett's a canker sore on the forum. In the grand scheme of things, his presence doesn't make the forum any less healthy, even repeated flareups don't endanger the forum's future health, they're not even that painful, but boy are they irritating.
Speaking as someone who was banned over there many times for bizarre non-reasons, people that uptight here need to go watch Lum sing Relax.
I thought the winner was still Theodotus 's epic first post in the Wardell thread, clocking in at 126 likes.
I don't count these Johnny-come-lately, flash-in-the-pan forum members who appear and disappear like so many fireflies, no matter how erudite and insightful their first posts may be. :)
Well, it should be fairly obvious that Lum is not like Tom, else we wouldn't be here in the first place.
That post is indeed in the lead. Second is Angie Gallant's earning her Bollocks Mahoney title in this LP at 114.
You have to tell me if you're a cop Lum. I have Miranda rights. You can't judge me based on what I say!
Primarily, that the denial of Brad's summary judgment motion means the judge is saying that his conduct was worse than [some really bad things]. That's not accurate at all. The denial of a summary judgment motion simply means that the judge is willing to let the case go forward to determine what the conduct really was and how widespread it was and how it impacted the alleged victim. It means he's not prejudging the evidence. It means he hasn't decided anything, except that it COULD be worse than in other cases where no liability was found. I thought Theodotus oversold that by a fair bit but didn't see the point in debating him at the time.
Come on, Jim, you know anniversaries are always hard times for anyone. It's been almost a year si- Oh dear god it's been exactly one year to the day (and in fact only 90 minutes ago!). http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=68032 He never sent that PM.
Well, not quite. Originally it was Jeremy Johnson on that list, not James Johnson. I forget if he got the accidental ban too or if that was someone else. Tom was never good with names.
