To clarify, that was not creative writing. I was being quite literal. Also, do we need to sticky my cliffnotes?
This is what set me off, and after that, I was subscribed. This made me mad and laugh at the same time. He probably couldn't differentiate his way out of a wet paper bag, let alone make a decent debate. Either way, it is what it is.
Basically Taras threw a narrow minded blanket statement out calling everyone that puts their parents in nursing homes 'evil.' Then wall of tvs told him that he had to put his father in a nursing home because it was the only way he could get the proper care he needed. So Taras backpedaled and gave sympathy, but everyone called him out for it. Also, he insulted piddster by saying Dan's post indicated that he must not have gone to college as if that is some kind of insult. Especially coming from someone that goes to college and 90% of his posts have 3rd grade spelling and grammar. Then later he tried to BS everyone into believing he didn't condescend people based on their education.
In short...he is better than us because he takes care of his parents, is educated, and loves animals and liberals. I wish I was so lucky.
That's the thing, he doesn't act this way in person, he only does this on the internet. Which is one of the reasons I don't like him. I like consistency.
The unfortunate thing is that people think "Oh, it's OK because I'm not like this in person." Well, you should be the same person in real life and behind a keyboard. If you wanted to troll some random forum, fine, but if it's a forum where you meet and make friends with the people on there, that's a different story. Especially on a local forum, someone is likely to find you and kick your ass for being a ****tard.
I think that is where it came from. Although, there is a better one by the Penny Arcade guys that replaces the ****wad part with a more blunt term. And the barking of the jackass isn't censored.
the one on the chalkboard? i have it...but i dont feel like getting bitched out by the crabby mods :hsugh:
So what'd he get banned for this time? Wanting to buy things for his new Spec-B? or because people couldn't stay on topic in his WTB thread? I didn't think wanting to buy something for your car was considered "trolling," prezawagon. Definition "Troll" -An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion. If you want to ban someone, why don't you ban EVERYONE? Especially the people who only commented on his spelling of "Throw" in his WTB thread. The only on-topic post was from Taras, where he also stated for people to stay on-topic. "Internet drama - Prior to the term being looted by teh gays to describe their petty little cat fights, drama was considered a genre of literature intended for the theatre. It was later found by users of teh Internets to describe their petty little cat fights. Since then, drama has come to mean any incident, scene, gaffe, rumor, opinion or disagreement that is blown entirely out of proportion. IRL drama almost always starts with infidelity and ends with lulz. Drama is best left for yo momma. Drama results when matters are made into a bigger deal than need be, and it is used to draw and keep much-wanted attention, but it waters down everything to a degree where no one actually cares. Most people will often declare they hate drama, but they are usually lying — because, honestly, why else would reality television be so popular? Drama is often started by the Angel of Death. Drama can also be started by the Lepars."
Taras received communication from me last night with a simple, yet very specific set of instructions. He didn't follow them at all. None of the mods including myself ever had a beef with taras. It's too bad it came down to banning him permanently, but he was racking up more infractions lately then even we could keep up with. When Prezawgaon was referring to "trolling" he was referring to the infractions Taras received yesterday.
Blatant pissing in the face of authority. Repeatedly. Generally childish behavior. Having an A in stead of an E in his rear window banner. Too many rally pigs Pick one ^^^^.
IMO people should have been ignoring him on their ignore lists instead of just egging him on then getting mad about it. I think he was mobbed. fact is if you don't like someone, use the ignore feature. Taras certianly was trolling at the end for sure, but the people with their endless complaining about him were being just as annoying.
The ignore feature here does not work when people quote the ignored. Also, it tells you when the ignored member creates a thread, so you still gotta see them. He was on my ignore list. But I stayed out of it this time. Thank god.
So, the guy couldn't even make a new thread, in the correct forum, to buy something? WTH kind of policy is that? Somebody makes a thread where someone else is only supposed to post? And that becomes law? Seriously guys...being the internet Gestapo doesn't fix the constant flaming, trolling, and general bad attitudes of half the people here. It's a lynching really. Admit it.
i'm not disagreeing with you. I think people need to get better at just ignoring people who they don't like.
I agree with you 110%. However, you do not know the facts behind Taras's infraction(s) this weekend so please do me a favor and leave it be. If you want to know why taras was banned please call him
