Like I said, fuck that.

Unstuck Too.

I can see the branding opportunities now. Podcasts, books, speeches. We can maybe start a new movement.

Yeah, Mat was looking for any excuse to nuke the forum and decided (ironically enough considering the discussion we’re having) vaya’s post about ambergris was good enough.

LouisCyphre · February 26, 2020, 9:36pm

These two should not go hand in hand.

otatop · February 26, 2020, 9:37pm

zarapochka’s more American than she thinks.

I feel like we do a pretty good job of running off the worst posters. The number of people currently posting that I would label bad posters I could fit on less than one hand. Either ignore them or blast away at them.

I frankly think that the lack of modding and the fact it is self-policing are some of the best features on the site. So obviously WN should be allowed to post. If he is a shit poster he will get told that relentlessly until he is gone and if not he will be a valuable member. No downside.

I tend to dislike folks who play footsie with racists.

otatop · February 26, 2020, 9:42pm

I just didn’t want to miss an opportunity to make fun of Americans in general, it was nothing personal.

In the end this will just be another fun drama thread for a day or two. No one has been or will be banned from this site AFAICT. His forum will be dead in 6 months or so and he’ll ramp up the posting and influence over here.

That’s gonna be a no for me lol

Concern trolling imo. I don’t believe the people suggesting he will be a mod actually believes what they are saying.

Jalfrezi · February 26, 2020, 10:08pm

Probably depends who comes over from P&S with him.

anon10396289 · February 26, 2020, 10:09pm

need to ban these concern trolls imo

microbet · February 26, 2020, 10:10pm

No one is “with him”.

Trolly · February 26, 2020, 10:10pm

Yet

Jalfrezi · February 26, 2020, 10:10pm

You know what I meant - “At the same time as him”.

ffs

cassette · February 26, 2020, 10:10pm

At least @ me

microbet · February 26, 2020, 10:11pm

I didn’t really know what you meant. Love muffin has been here for a while already.

Jalfrezi · February 26, 2020, 10:15pm

Yeah but rarely posts. If P&S continues to decline and they still want to trigger libs, here is the obvious choice for them, some of whom I believe created accounts here on start up just in case.

microbet · February 26, 2020, 10:26pm

I seem to be the only person with a bee in my bonnet about finding out who anachronistic and NotbruceZ are. :shrug:
