A Reluctant Farewell.

Why was civnation banned?

Civnation was either an extreme fundamentalist christian or more likely, a group DL created by a bunch of people to troll with. He had many "debates" with, chiefly, MtG in which his tactic largely involved quoting hundreds of single bible verses and/or copy-pasting articles. As I recall, he once started a rather vicious anti-homosexual thread, for which he was banned, whereupon he repeatedly broke the rules by creating DLs and/or posting similar threads as soon as he became "free". Eventually he declared that if he was ever freed again he'd break the forum rules immediately. He has yet to take back this threat, and so he remains banned until he does. IIRC. Too bad, he was fun while he lasted.

Now, why was RainbowJDS banned?

I can't beleive anyone takes Giancarlo seriously. He certainly isn't worth being made an exile over.

Whoah! I just saw this thread and find it extremely unfortunate that PH is leaving - he's one of the best posters here!

And we all know that little SH!T Giancarlo will be back in a couple of weeks.

And Provost is certainly a better poster than some others who are pleased he's gone - people joke about gay sexual exploits with me all the time, but I don't mind. Why do people get banned for doing it at the stupid repressed ugly freak?

We all need an exile. I have the feeling that eventually PH will thank MtG.

Don't be offended but...

You think they joke?

It goes beyond me how anybody can feel insulted when they're banned for saying something about coughing on semen to somebody with obvious sexual frustrations, but hey, take care of yourself PH, assuming you're actually serious about this.

You and others (more bans than just 2 were earned in that thread) were certainly acting like school children. My 12 year son is MUCH better behaved and not cruel to thoses currently in the social outcast niche. Your ridiculous protest of your more than deserved penalty (based on more than one post, and more than one offense, threadjacking and spam among them) is even more tiresome than your glee in puerile torment, and those twith some perspicacity know that the real sting for you is the PCR, which reduced your ego from deity to emperor. Its well overdue that cruel children and regressed ought to be adults get some of the rod around here. I am tired of them stinking up the place, and am pleased that you will be having a sabbatical or exile so that your social behavior can catch up to your age and education. Drown in your silly self pity and false victimhood , if you so chose; if there is real justice in the world your cruelty will come back to bite you.

Bloody hell, Lefty. Stop sitting on the fence and say what you feel.

We have a new entry at number one in my list of "People I have no intention of annoying. Ever."

As a learning experience, yes. But why PH got himself into that position in the first place is ridiculous.

I hardly post here anyway, but I tried to post yesterday to find I was banned. Absolutely no contact was made with me to tell me why for like 2 weeks or however long it was I was banned for. It's plainly ridiculous, and I hope we can stay in touch.

The explanation was in your edited out post where you referred to the site owners as "****s" so don't play your little innocent Higgsy act. It gets real old.

Good one, Mike.

Ming, I care not if the face of this place changes, it has quite a bit over the last year, people faded in and out, some left, some returned, it's what makes things fun.

I agree Gianni is a fool, and I believe that he is picked on, all at the same time.

Rich, all I can say is how angry Gianni makes you is what a lot of us feel about your god rants, so keep that in mind.

Ian, I couldn't change my OT post, they fried my post, and half that thread!

Provost may of gone over the top and acted childish, but he was faced with Giancarlo - who goes way over the top, in almost every single one of his posts. I don't know why Giancarlo gets even an ounce of respect around here (or is it just pity?). I doubt a neo-nazi or KKK member would last more then 2 minutes before being banned for life - but apparently it's more exceptable to hate gays.

Let me explain something to you, newbie. The only <b>real and strictly enforced</b> permanent ban on this site is against CivNation and his DL's, for the single specific reason of his stated refusal to cease hate posts against gays.

Giancarlo has been warned repeatedly, banned repeatedly, and on ICQ he has told me he won't be back. If he does come back, he's well on the way to joining Civnation if he keeps it up.

One more insult directed at that poster and you're joining PH.

People get banned for it because we do not tolerate repeated attacks of specific posters when we see it, we do not tolerate groups of posters singling one poster out for repeated attacks, baitings and insults, <b>and just because a bunch of you don't like the poster in question</b>, that doesn't give you carte blanche to act like a bunch of mean-assed children in the schoolyard, picking on the class misfit.

Does anybody here honest-to-god think they should have a special exemption to make personal attacks against a poster because nobody likes him? That the rest of the forum should put up with your flames and rants and taunts and threadjacking and generally wiping your asses with the forum and the rest of the posters because a group of you don't like an individual poster and get your kicks from insulting him? If you think you're exempt, too damn bad, because you're not.

people joke about gay sexual exploits with me all the time, but I don't mind.

Well, good for you. Your standard of what is or isn't insulting isn't the one that gets applied for comments made to other posters - it gets taken into consideration for comments directed to you only.

Yet, he gets a lesser punishment then provost.

Well, I am overall pleased that adult sentiment appears to be prevailling, and with that, and having completed my quarterly unpleasant task (scrounging up enough cash to pay the feds) I am feeling much less confrontational. I meant all I said and still do, but in a less "kill! kill! kill the world" frame of mind, I likely would have forborne having said some of it.
