I honesty dont understand what you want. Someone said goofy was “run off”, maxcut said “captains” were run off too. Soulman asked who. I replied with a list of names some might not even be known as “captains”.
Just take a breather dude.

While this is true, posts like this:
He was posting here and getting into rows on his honeymoon so it’s probably for his own sake he left.
are the biggest reason why we are having this conversation today. I’ve respectfully asked that the poster fix this. Guess we will see how that turns out.

My own mental deficiencies clouded my ability to see what was obvious and what this thread really needed.
Next time you think about pressing that rancorous keystroke, think about the fact that J died in a hospital bed, desperately trying to finish his last album, his mom by his side and receiving hand massages to power through immense pain, to love the world one last time.

The other notable point is that while most non-Captains were sad to lose most of the people on that list, the Captains seem uhh unruffled at best about the members they’ve driven off.

Do you think it’s accurate to say “the Captains” drove off goof baller or j man? Seems totally absurd to claim that. No one was more committed to the forum wars bullshit than Goof Baller and J Man, if they’re casualties of the Great Forum Wars then they’re much more like jal and churchill and jbro than microbet or mystery conman. They did it to themselves.

We could have had an elonbot. But for some reason which I really dont understand, apparently we were so collectively awful to Goofy that he left.
This didnt seem to result in any pause for reflection.

lol Goof baller acted like a total asshole to certain people, including myself, for literally years. I tried to ignore the guy, with varying amounts of success. Acting like he’s some innocent victim is absurd. But of course the time for reflection isn’t when mystery conman left, or when johnny truant left, or when microbet left, or when rexx left, or nunnhi left, but when one of the most abrasive and combative posters leaves.

The fact that someone who modded here for a while wants to believe that goofy was anything other than a continually abusive and shit stirring poster says it all about the problems here.
But he wrote a bot so let’s forget all that.

One captain most certainly did, yes, and it was because of Forum Wars. But we can’t talk about that!
I’ve been posting with goofy since SSNL days in like 2005, and damn I’ve gotten heated with him more than a few times and made fun of him even more. Describing him as abusive and shit stirring poster is fucking laughable, especially coming from you. The next time you contribute something unique and meaningful to the forum will be the first. The only memorable attribute you have is to stay mad about something like being told your complaint about smell or whatever that stupid shit was is racist. Your ability to hold grudges is the only unique thing about you.
This is true… to a point. Churchill yesterday posted something from a well known anti-vax YouTuber supported by a well known anti-vaxx and anti-Trans twitter accounts.
I don’t see any reason to give him the benefit of the doubt, and that shit shouldn’t be accepted here, but it is because Jalfrezi lied about what Churchill did to the people who want less moderation so he co-opt his complaints about Wookie and the like. It’s fucking pathetic.
Meanwhile, I’m supposed to just accept [redacted] that I can’t even talk about because of [redacted]. Really solid work.

In the mid 90’s, progenitors were dropping templates that would stand the test of time for the next 30 years+. Even as a mix, this fits right in as far as sheer influence.
Equally enjoyed by midwest stoners and uptown professionals. Vol 1 is really good too. Leans into the house aesthetics a bit more than this one.
Play this at your next social gathering; it never disappoints.
The healing power of this immense.
This might come as a shock to you and MaxcutPerusing, but there are longtime members who were driven off who are not Jman and Goofy, don’t really fall into the Forum Wars category, and also aren’t fortunate enough to post on NMNM and thus qualify for Yuv’s list. Maybe consider not “othering” or erasing them.
Combining posts since we’re throttled - the distinction here is that [redacted for wichita] he provided a ton of content and value to this place aside from the shit-stirring (and even aside from the bots).

You’re kind of rant mumbling here and no one has a clue what you’re so angry about. Take 5?
You said it.
For all the people finally reflecting on the site because they miss Goofy- I’m sure if he’s posting elsewhere then he’ll tell you if you message him on discord. Dude posted constantly (and largely good and substantive content imo) for almost 20 years so it’d be surprising if he’d whole heartedly stopped because of this. Also maybe people should learn how to program bots if they’re only learning goofy is gone because the bots are?

Sure I’d be happy to but I honestly don’t have any idea who you’re talking about. It isn’t easy to remember everyone who’s posted here or if they left or why they left. Of course I remember my friends better than people who I haven’t seen post in years or months. That’s not “othering” that’s just not remembering.
That’s true and everyone has different experiences with posters. But the context here is this post started this discussion:
I don’t know why Goof Baller left but this retelling of events ignores the obvious truth that he was one of the most committed Forum War Guys here.
So refute it in a non asshole way if you can and move on. Or even im an asshole way. I disagree it needs to be purged. If your argument is better it will be enough.
I agree with 6. This is a discussion forum.

So your plan is… 4chan? Ok then, that’s worked out well everywhere.
It’s also interesting, as several of these people complaining about people being run off or talk about less bannings wanted me permanently banned. It’s all bullshit.

lol ikes who the hell wants you banned? Literally no one. Many people are saying you suck, don’t know anyone who says you should be banned.
I mean Trolley Trollson was bigly worried about you showing up but that was years ago.
