Goofle11 is a dude, and that's a picture of his favorite babycakes, Josie Long. He doesn't look anything like her. He actually looks like Kurt Vonnegut so that's the reason he chosen that avatar.

Fred knows I am a dude, he is simply a gay and wants the G.

Holy ****! Well, he deserved that ban. Wow, that...was unexpected.

interesting read, i think i agree with a lot of what boo boo said. though i do think we have different problems with feminism and not sure which side of certain issues he is on cause he confuses me. either way he hates radical femnists so we have that bond goin for us

He was also a moderator who went on a crazy banning spree shortly before he got banned himself.

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." -AL

That thread isn't the reason he's not here now though.

Right before he did that I PMed him about the trouble bungalow and he ask me should he ban him I said no, bungalow brought up the subject of trolling and boo also gave me pointers on what to do not to be a troll. And lol he broke every single one of them.

That thread wasn't even that bad lol. He was still pretty respectful even if his stance was kinda douchey.

Kinda?

loool

I regret my tribal, but not because other people think it's a lame bro tat. Just for professional reasons. I'd rid my sleeve any day of the week if someone else paid for it to be done, whether it was the best tattoo in the world or not. Otherwise, I don't really care. But at the same time, I can't help but think that people who go out of their way to get a tattoo according to the current "standards of awesomeness" will be sorely disappointed when their choice becomes something either society or themselves eventually find retarded. They'll just end up in the same boat as the tribal folks.

My advice to anyone getting a tattoo is to just make sure you like it, and nothing more. Past that, there really isn't a point of a tattoo, because perceptions change. (Including your own, btw, so choose wisely). If you base it on what you think others will like, you're destined to be disappointed. And while the irony of it is that a tattoo is ultimately something meant for others' perceptions, much like the reason people choose their wardrobe, it kinda helps that the more important factor is that the individuals themselves are the primary factor involved with getting something permanently stamped on their body, rather than getting something more acceptable by some standard that's going to last just about as long as all the previous iterations of it since then.

I guess what I'm saying is it really doesn't matter what the hell you have stamped on your body. Do what you want. Whether people like it or not is their problem. If that affects a person, then that's their problem.

Personally, the only affect my tattoos have on me is my preoccupation with the issue of being considered in a professional environment, because it has the potential to affect my livelihood. Fortunately, that hasn't been an issue yet, but until professionals with ink sleeves are a standard in every industry, I'm going to make a few reasonable assumptions about that.

Can you show me your tattoo? I'm interested.

I have moved the feminism discussion to the appropriate thread here.

Top modding BD :cool: was gonna suggest this.

Don't compliment her too much. She'll think she's people.

carpe is my fave n00b in a long time. she likes howard stern and artie lange, she shut up herm yesterday in plug and will go toe to toe with ppl which is rare in a n00b nowadays. while still remainin in the good graces of regulars and mods. its a tough spot to squeeze into

You're one of my favorites too, buddy. I gotta admit I have belonged to way more forums than I should, I know the ropes pretty well.

Although I also gotta say that I'm not a fan of the drama of shutting people up, or going toe to toe with them in a debate. I don't give a **** if people think I'm more intelligent than them or others. I make offhand statements directed at nobody just to claim my stance, and some people feel the need to personally respond to them.

Carpe is creating discussion so fair play.

I still get the idea that most people here don't like her. This place is so damn cliquey.

It is mate but I've never known an internet forum not to be like that tbh.

Melanie is awesome. **** the cliques. :dj:

I don't think anyone doesn't like her. She was kinda reserved back in the day, but she's opened up a lot more and is probably one of the more beloved people on here these days. She just isn't as flamboyant as some so she doesn't get so much of a fuss.

I <3 bd

probably because you're never here….

It's almost like school. So much petty drama at times.

I didn't know her yet when she was first on this forum, but yeah I can see what you're saying. There are a number of people on here who are desperate for attention and it shows, like it's very thinly disguised, screaming "look at me!! LOOK AT ME!!!1!11!!!1!" Shows through so much in the picture gallery to be honest, but that thread is all about attention whoring.

Wait a sec, you post in the photo gallery. :D

Well I am here but I don't post a lot. I just read and then if I think I have something to offer I will respond. Also I don't have a computer anymore, so I just read on my phone but sometimes that's difficult.

I think if you ask you'll find BD is definitely among the top 3 mods, not just the best but the most respected. As you say, just cos you don't jump up and down shouting and looking for attention doesn't mean people aren't watching you and taking note. You know, gotta watch the quiet ones... ;)

Only one person has said anything negative towards her in the past few days and it's just Batlord busting her chops. It's not the way you think it is. Or the way she thinks it is either.

I'm new, but BD seems like someone who actually has a life. That is both cool and rare to see on a forum. People tend to get far too involved in who likes them and who doesn't and trying to prove how interesting, funny, or clever they are. Often forgetting the world extends beyond their forum of choice.

I most certainly don't have a life. Until it hits 65 degrees, then everyone is gonna think I died for 6 months.

I love her. She's like the most lovely and funny person and is a great mod.

Mel is one of the first members I befriended on MusicBanter, going back to when I joined MB. She's always been a down-to-earth & friendly person and willing to talk anything about music. I haven't seen her do a mean thing or say anything mean to anyone. I always consider a very kind and solid person. I can't see anyone not liking her.

I agree, she's so genuine and considerate. She has a really cool personality and rather witty! I do go on a lot about her around the board but it's not everyday that you meet someone like her. She is pretty laid back and I know she doesn't give a **** about haters, they're not worth her time. Not that there is many.

<_<

>_>

Agree, Carpe seems pretty cool. :)

A fine addition to MB imo.

Plankton is the man and a gifted guitarist

Anteater is chill dude too, great writer

Fred is always cool and one of my few reggae enthusiasts bros on mb

DJ is a cool guy too, think he gets a bad rep sometimes.

Gavin b is like a encyclopedia on reggae, real smart dude

Frownland seems cool too, his music is really quite creative I dig the jam freeform vibe.

I kind of keep to myself here pretty much post in the same spots haha but from what I can gather its seems like for the majority mb is pretty chill.

This thread has become a pile of shit.

x2
It's lost its purpose, in my opinion.

Roxy and I were just spilling our guts to each other for the last page or so...
