Interesting, I think one of the worst culprits in this entire flame war wasn't even involved in the 1st place... 
As Lefty says - I can safely say that my opinion of some of the posters involved has definitely been negatively affected after this whole episode.

Even the more skilled internet trolls can slip up at times. An IP comparison search might run across a previous DL, with pricinpal indentified by some means, which used the same (presumably proxy) server. Perhaps a troll who stirred this controversity at another site. One that would not shrink from a frame attempt.

I was wondering what the restriction actually does? I'd think that you are not able to post but are you able to read the posts?
Anyway, I would think that people would be able to relax and cool off, I mean after all it's a board. Most of us will probably never meet each other and thus it's easy to just brush off childish immature comments/threads directed to you?!?!
So long...

It means that you can't post, but can read threads, send PMs and visit the chatroom all you like.

This whole situation got wildly out of hand... saying "just quit it" is of course the logical thing, but it won't do any good I'm afraid.

no, the question should be "What not to say"
and the answer would be "THAT". (I refer to the first line)

People like that don't belong anywhere on Poly, or then we would need to have a new "Village Idiot Forum", where members belonging to the Village Idiot user group could only post and they would not be allowed to enter the chatroom or post anywhere else on Poly. PM's would also be denied from them.
I think the use of the Village Idiot title should be more frequent than now.
And if they would dare to enter FACF or SPF, they would be sent to Phobos quite quickly. And that's a promise.

He had been personally warned not to bring it up again.
The only that would have kept him from getting banned was "NO COMMENT" or "Drop it"

Ah, I see, you told him on the sly.
Makes sense.
Others at the other joint now claim your just being anal and have no reason to can them.
Guess who.

This assumes that a posting restriction is a significant penalty for them. For the majority of posters, the only meaningful penalty is this disapproval of their peers.
|
If that's true, they should receive a large PCR That would teach ME a lesson But only after being warned twice (which has already happened)
