Obviously not a cure all, but I think it's been improving my forum presence.

You have a piece of lettuce stuck in your teeth.

im here to complain about frownland fantasizing about killing me :o:

simplephysics 07-13-2018 04:21 PM

I miss the spill your guts thread. People really went loose up in there.

The Batlord 07-13-2018 04:22 PM

All-time best MB thread no doubt.

Vegangelica said some very kind things about me, one of the few that ever did - that's part I miss. There's other stuff I don't miss so much - no, not at all.

Chula Vista and Trollheart are constantly spilling their guts, especially the former, the latter needs provocation from The Batlord. So it's like even though the thread is gone it comes back in spirit every so often in other threads.

The Batlord 07-13-2018 05:00 PM

**** storms have simply never been the same since it was closed and this site has never been as cool. I miss logging in and getting hyped at seeing that Spill Your Guts has been updated for the first time in three months. Times ten when the Last Post is from Sansa.

DwnWthVwls 07-13-2018 05:19 PM

Lets make this the new spill your guts thread. The first step in the mb revolution is getting the workers to have the power.

Frownland 07-13-2018 05:22 PM

All of the oligarchs started off with zero posts. There is no inequality here.

The Batlord 07-13-2018 05:23 PM

I think that DWV is a tedious, undiagnosed autistic.

And GO!

DwnWthVwls 07-13-2018 05:24 PM

an tedious?

The Batlord 07-13-2018 05:27 PM

I don't know what you're being pedantic about.

I have aspergers. Maybe that's why we're homies in debate.

i agree, SYG was top bantz

The Batlord 07-13-2018 05:43 PM

And then near the end of the thread when Freebase started regularly dropping bombs that would keep that thread burning for like a week. Good times.

The Batlord 07-13-2018 06:14 PM

If this site wasn't owned and modded by fascists the last post on Music Banter would be an unanswered ****post on the Spill Your Guts thread.

Chula Vista 07-13-2018 06:28 PM

Not sure if I ever posted in that thread.

WWWP 07-13-2018 06:28 PM

The boards couldn't handle it these days. It got vicious in there. All that tasty tasty nonstop drama

I don't know if it was still around when you showed up. It was basically you and Frown on any given day but without even the appearance of discouragement except it could break out between any two members so long as one of them had knocked back a few beers and was looking for a scrap. And any disagreement could become a forum war so long as one or both members had standing in one of the site's cliques.

Trollheart 07-23-2018 10:09 AM

While I'm not in any way advocating or asking for a ban for anyone, I feel that it should be noted that someone here has broken the rule quoted in the OP, basically trying to bait someone else into a flame war or to try to push them off the forum through harassment. We all know who I refer to. Can it please be reiterated that this is not acceptable behaviour, especially when it clearly affects the targeted member so seriously?

Thanks.

The Batlord 07-23-2018 10:15 AM

It was a discussion about racism and someone took offense to being called racist. That's just kinda how those discussions go. You can't tweak the rules to please every thin-skinned baby.

Key 07-23-2018 10:16 AM

None of that would be happening if rs didn't post the thread. It was kind of bound to happen. YD doesn't usually stay quiet. Which isn't a bad thing tbf.

Trollheart 07-23-2018 10:28 AM

No, disagree with you both. YD came out and made a remark about RS without any provocation, referring back to previous posts. That's not on. That's ****ing harassment. There was no need for that comment, and then YD goes and says "oh if he didn't keep saying insensitive things" or something. Which RS did not. YD just used a previous, already responded to comment/post as a way to have another dig at the guy.

Key 07-23-2018 10:34 AM

Fair enough though I disagree in part because you and I both know pretty well that posting a thread like rs will have backlash. I've not really posted in there but I've watched it. YD isn't the only one trying to stir things up. Tho again, can you really not expect it?

Bro, srsly, your argument seems to hinge on Rubber Soul not having said anything showing at least slight racism, and we've had this discussion about you and your subconscious racism, so I think you're just two guys with the same mindset circling the wagons after being called out in the last few days about the same instance.

Trollheart 07-23-2018 10:36 AM

No, the thing is you have that arse-about-face Kiii. YD made his comment in the "Genres suggestions" thread, where RS said he was out, he'd had enough of the threads. It was only AFTER this uncalled-for comment that RS then made his thread, in a direct response to, and as a direct result of, that snide comment.

Key 07-23-2018 10:37 AM

But my point is he couldve confronted YD personally and privately. Rs instead decided to get the whole forum involved. So it's on him.

Trollheart 07-23-2018 10:40 AM

It's not really. When you get some smartarse making a comment like this

then maybe for some people it's time to re-evaluate as to whether you want to be here or not. YD is not easy to talk to and he wasn't about to back down. Now I will agree RS does seem to have a really thin skin (this isn't the first time he's left over similar comments) but he obviously wanted to see what other people thought, see if he was maybe overreacting before doing anything.

I maintain the above quote was unnecessary and very provocative, could even be seen as inflammatory. All against the rules. And I wonder why no mod has even spoken quietly to YD about it and explained it's not acceptable, but once again, promises promises and everything gets ignored and swept under the carpet.

Nah Rubber Soul had made passive aggressive comments in other threads for no reason and it was annoying. Much like a sober version of my Jaws ****posting. Awesome movie btw.

I don't disagree that it could've potentially been provoked, but the situation was reacted to poorly as well. YD isn't hard to talk to. He just calls you out when you spout bs. Sometimes it's warranted, some maybe not. However I still think it could've been defused and avoided without the thread calling for attention to it. That's my 2 cents on i. Again I'm basically going from an outsider perspective but I also understand that threads like the one rs posted does more bad than good.

Show me one. And shut up about Jaws ffs. Fantastic movie but do you have to bring it into every post? Obviously, you do.

Bolded 1: yes he is, and I speak from experience. He gets entrenched in his position and won't give an inch. I once had him on Ignore for this very reason; could not talk to the guy.

Bolded 2: Agreed, but my sympathies are with RS, and not just because he's a mate. He's had problems here before and I think people could cut him a little slack. I'd definitely recommend though that he grow a thicker skin, or consider leaving for his own good.

@ YD: If you're reading, I'd like to see where RS made specific racist posts or posts that could be taken as racist, other than to point out that he, and I, for that matter, come from that era, which does not necessarily mean we support what was seen as normal at the time. I wasn't at Selma, or Brixton, or Soweto. Just because we both lived through those times does not make us inherently racist. But show me a post, please, to prove your point. The ones you quoted in his thread don't do that.

I awake bright and chipper after my no holds barred match with Yorkedaddy and I find out Hawk got banned yet again. I assume whatever he did was deleted since nothing I saw looked especially bad.

Okay so inquiring minds want to know. Did he post a nude selfie of himself like Elph did? What did he do this time?


Also, how long is he gone for this time? Is it time to post him in the Rest in Peace thread?
Satisfied?

Not even slightly. Two of the references you posted were clearly jokes, nodding back to his spat with YD - people are allowed to joke - and I don't know why you think the third one is a jibe. Actually, scratch that: I kind of do.

But even at that, BOTH RS and YD should have been warned if that's the case. And really, is that the best you can do to prove RS is saying racist stuff? I noticed you and Frown both took the same post - which, as I said, was clearly a joke - so do I take it from that there are no other instances of RS being racist? Or just that you're both lazy? Cos none of those prove a goddamn thing.

Those were instances of him making things worse by being passive aggressive and dredging up a non-issue, not of him being racist.
