Title: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 12, 2012, 10:31:36 PM ?
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Miles on April 12, 2012, 10:32:57 PM JewCon, though I did like Svenssen....
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: tpfkaw on April 12, 2012, 10:36:46 PM I like/liked Teddy, Libby, Straha (before my time but know him from elsewhere), Hamilton (mostly because Dallasfan likes him), and Sven. I guess if I had to choose only one then Sven - a great guy and a good friend. Wonder what he's off to now...
EDIT: Contrary to popular belief, Straha was never banned, he just accidentally scrambled his password. His sock was banned for some reason though... Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 12, 2012, 10:45:26 PM I just realized I forgot Robert Stark, though I have a tough time imagining anyone voting for him.

Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: fezzyfestoon on April 12, 2012, 10:47:02 PM I often enjoyed my altercations with Einzige moreso than many of the pleasant interactions I'd had during his time here.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Frodo on April 12, 2012, 10:49:13 PM SvenssonRS -I am not quite sure why he was banned in the first place... :P
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: memphis on April 12, 2012, 10:54:41 PM I believe you forgot JSojourner and jamespol.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: dead0man on April 12, 2012, 10:56:49 PM Teddy, easy.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 12, 2012, 10:58:42 PM I believe you forgot JSojourner and jamespol. JSojourner wasn't banned. jamespol though is a bad omission because I do totally want him back. :( He's probably the person on the list I'd LEAST want back except for the individual who is from Bakersfield. Say what you will about Libertas and Einzige, at least they never claimed every single person who posts a link to a Hulu video is a bigot trying to do nothing but insult Canadians.

No, wait, I want yougo1000 back. I miss his timelines. :( Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Psychic Octopus on April 12, 2012, 11:02:25 PM I'd like to have all of them unbanned, because I actually liked a lot of the people on that list, but I'm pretty sure most of these people are still lurkers.
There are a lot of posters who no longer post here that I wish would come back, even if it was only for a while. Han, for one, as well as Nixon in '80, Dan the Roman, JSojourner, and Vepres. (Well, technically, Dan the Roman is active, just not frequently. It's a shame, because he's a great poster). Hey, now that you mention it, whatever happened to DC_United?

Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Pingvin on April 12, 2012, 11:54:53 PM Teddy and Feeblepizza.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Miles on April 12, 2012, 11:58:04 PM Teddy and Feeblepizza. Ahh, I remember feeble...good times. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: bgwah on April 12, 2012, 11:58:38 PM Libertas. The Joe Republic hissy fits he caused amused me.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: dead0man on April 13, 2012, 12:00:57 AM Do we really want more racists? Sure, they are fun to laugh at, but kind of embarassing to have around.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: LastVoter on April 13, 2012, 12:07:18 AM A more interesting question is who will get death points for posting in this thread? I am not familiar with most of these but Klecly remained fairly benign.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Antonio the Sixth on April 13, 2012, 04:44:54 AM Teddy, then Einzige.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 13, 2012, 05:13:41 AM Teddy, Sven and Einzige in that order.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: k-onmmunist on April 13, 2012, 07:21:25 AM Straha or Einzige.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Hash on April 13, 2012, 08:10:19 AM Can't say I miss any of them or that this place is worst without them, though Teddy was tolerable.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: perdedor on April 13, 2012, 08:15:02 AM I miss having Libertas around to argue with. Despite having a very narrow world view and a "repeat until it's true" debate style, he was a pretty nice guy - having talked to him off of this forum a time or two.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Antonio the Sixth on April 13, 2012, 08:19:11 AM 4 people want Svenson back ?
Guys, he literally asked mods to ban him. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 13, 2012, 09:07:09 AM 4 people want Svenson back ? Guys, he literally asked mods to ban him. Doesn't mean we can't want him back. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home. on April 13, 2012, 10:01:02 AM why isn't Derek on the list? (not that anyone would want him back)
Einzige was fairly amusing before he was rebanned. His thread displaying his sorceress girlfriend is a classic. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 13, 2012, 11:28:51 AM Why is Teddy doing so well?
Teddy would easily rank in my top 10 worst posters of all time list. He posted some of the most inane and nonsensical things I've ever seen posted on a forum by someone who wasn't obviously trolling. Honestly Derek made more sense than Teddy. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Miles on April 13, 2012, 12:16:22 PM Why is Teddy doing so well? Teddy would easily rank in my top 10 worst posters of all time list. He posted some of the most inane and nonsensical things I've ever seen posted on a forum by someone who wasn't obviously trolling. Honestly Derek made more sense than Teddy. Well, Teddy said that he had autism, so I gave him more leeway that I otherwise would. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on April 13, 2012, 01:00:27 PM Outside of those banned before I arrived, I'd like to give another chance to all mentioned, except of Rochambeau and Kyle M.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Niemeyerite on April 13, 2012, 02:02:18 PM Why was Sven banned?
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: RogueBeaver on April 13, 2012, 02:42:43 PM Teddy, sans question.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Hatman 🍁 on April 13, 2012, 02:44:07 PM Why is Teddy doing so well? Teddy would easily rank in my top 10 worst posters of all time list. He posted some of the most inane and nonsensical things I've ever seen posted on a forum by someone who wasn't obviously trolling. Honestly Derek made more sense than Teddy. Well, Teddy is an internet friend of mine, so that's why I voted for him. I chalk up his oddness to his autism. However, he did make a lot of great Canadian maps, which we are being deprived of in his absence. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Eraserhead on April 13, 2012, 02:58:24 PM Why was Deano banned? I forget.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 13, 2012, 03:08:53 PM Why was Sven banned? I don't recall exactly why, but I think it was because he just didn't want to be here anymore so he just asked the mods to ban him. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Eraserhead on April 13, 2012, 05:32:57 PM Also, RickRoll should be an option. That guy was great.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Mr. Morden on April 13, 2012, 05:42:36 PM Also, RickRoll should be an option. That guy was great. Was RickRoll actually banned? Or did he just stop posting? Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Atlas Has Shrugged on April 13, 2012, 07:19:07 PM CaDan for entertainment.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Yelnoc on April 13, 2012, 07:24:30 PM CaDan for entertainment. Hell no. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back?

Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: memphis on April 13, 2012, 07:34:31 PM I believe you forgot JSojourner and jamespol. JSojourner wasn't banned. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on April 13, 2012, 07:38:05 PM He left in disgrace of his own volition. I think he may have been banned ages later as a preventative measure, but may be confusing the issue with that of 'Yates'.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Torie on April 13, 2012, 07:40:49 PM I believe you forgot JSojourner and jamespol. JSojourner wasn't banned. He decided to close the page on his Atlas chapter, because it was deflecting him from that which he considered more important to leading the good (as in more estimable) life, and brought out qualities in him with which upon reflection he did not find favor. That is my surmise. In any event, he is not subject to persuasion on this one. If he comes back, it will only be because he was worked out these issues to his satisfaction. After we all calmed down, nobody wanted JS banned really, except a few dissidents - nobody, including most mods. Yes, he was a special case, in a special category, that was much deserved, in an almost unique way really. It is all quite sad and depressing and enervating to revisit all of this. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on April 13, 2012, 07:42:44 PM Why was Deano banned? I forget. Back then Dave took more interest in the forum, came across his posts and the style in which they were written, was less than entirely happy... Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back?

Sojourner was a great poster and I really hope to see him back one day (though I know it's not likely). Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 13, 2012, 10:11:56 PM He left in disgrace of his own volition. I think he may have been banned ages later as a preventative measure, but may be confusing the issue with that of 'Yates'. "Yates" was actually banned after returning and there's never been any cases I've heard of inactive posters being banned. And I doubt JSojourner even would've been banned at the time if he didn't leave considering how lax enforcement of the rules against socks was back then. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 13, 2012, 10:13:20 PM FYI this is one of Deano's last posts:
Oh look - the cute little troll who pretends to be a Democrat is back. my first ever vote I cast for Kerry in 2004 and then Jim Webb in 2006, LOL liar. What a frickin liar. but if the Democrats are stupid enough to nominate your man Hillary and if you're delusional enough to think he has a chance, then knock yourselves out and nominate him. I'll just vote Independent. "My" man Hillary. When did I ever say I was for Hillary? Fact is that I never did. The fact that you can't argue with me w/out making sh**t up and putting words in my mouth only reinforces my belief that you area troll and an idiot to boot. Not an ounce of intelligence in any of your idiotic rants. Maybe I will begin to take you serisouly when you can say one single thing w/out putting words in my mouth that I never siad. I suspect you do this b/c you can't argue with me based on that facts b/c you know I am right ;). and if Im such a troll, then ignore me, don't respond. Why do you make such an effort to go out of your way and post angry, wild-eyed hysterical rantings claiming I'm Karl Rove and a Republican in disguise? Wow - again, you make up crazy sh**t that I never said. Never accused you of being Karl Rove. Only someone as dimwitted as you would even think up something so stupid. my guess is that you know I'm right and you secretly realize that the situation is not good for the Democrats and you're going to lose the White House (again) in 2008 because of the long history of nominating crappy candidates LOL! My God you are dumb. You may not be a troll, but if you really do believe half of the sh**t you say (like when you say that things are not good for the Democrats right now), then you are unbelievably stupid. If you really think that the current political situation is not good for the Democrats right now, you must have been asleep for the past five months, or delusional. The only thing I have ever heard that is even dumber is the suggestion that Mitt Romney would easily beat any of the Democratic candidates in the General Election. After multiple warnings with regard to not posting such personal attacks, this is the kind of post that gets one banned ... - Dave Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Mr. Morden on April 13, 2012, 10:30:21 PM Also, RickRoll should be an option. That guy was great. Was RickRoll actually banned? Or did he just stop posting? I'm pretty sure he was banned by you thugs. I don't remember that. Anyway, I don't think I was a mod yet at that time. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back?

He was autistic. Do you read what you write about opebo and naked dudes getting down to emoviolence? Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: dead0man on April 14, 2012, 12:06:34 AM Maybe his loophole is he knows that he is "obviously trolling"?
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 14, 2012, 12:26:20 AM dead0man, what have I posted that is equivalent to claiming that every single person who posts Hulu link is an anti-Canadian bigot who only wants to insult Canadians in doing so?
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 14, 2012, 12:31:24 AM dead0man, what have I posted that is equivalent to claiming that every single person who posts Hulu link is an anti-Canadian bigot who only wants to insult Canadians in doing so? OMG wow. Best weekend ever. AMAZING. Three straight days of moshing, Top 5 sets: 1-HeWhoCorrupts. This set consisted of the singer getting naked only to have a guy (my buddy actually, another one of the Minneapolis kids), get on stage, rip off his shirt, and give it to him to use as pants. Of course they ripped. And he put the shirt on afterwards. It also consisted of a girl in a panda costume crowdsurfing while a bunch of other guys ripped off all their clothes (just for this set) except for Speedos and did a circle pit. 2-Portraits of Past. How I wish I could go back 8 years in time and tell my 17-year old self he'd one day see them, and see how stoked he got. 3-Comadre. These guys are the nicest guys ever and always rule. 4-Hatred Surge. Funny part, a kid got on stage to crowd surf, sort of pushed off the stage by touching the singer's tits, and then hits the floor with no one catching him. We needed to call the paramedics on him. He was fine. Saw him circle pit later that day. 5-Get Rad. Always awesome. Even more awesome at the after show one night watching them play a set of Minor Threat covers and see them and the whole crowd sing "I'VE GOT THE STRAIGHT EDGE!" while holding beers and liquor and then downing them. Awesome. I'm not even mad I had to provide transportation for that guy who had a girl publicly piss on him the last night with his soaked shorts still on. Even though it was my anecdote that inspired that event. Regardless, ruled. Three straight nights of moshing, drinking, record buying and hot women. Yes, there are many hot women at Dude Fest. Including several in some of the bands. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 14, 2012, 12:33:34 AM Except every single thing described in that post actually happened.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 14, 2012, 12:36:23 AM Except every single thing described in that post actually happened. Teddy was autistic, so he inherently believes that people don't like him. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 14, 2012, 12:37:33 AM And I'm sure Robert Stark believed most of what he posted too.
Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: dead0man on April 14, 2012, 05:06:28 AM dead0man, what have I posted that is equivalent to claiming that every single person who posts Hulu link is an anti-Canadian bigot who only wants to insult Canadians in doing so? suburbs the definition of "emo" South Park being "conservative your love of opebo (despite him thinking you're an idiot for your religious beliefs) the whole, "I report people because I don't like them because of their politics, we shouldn't be able to do that" whinge Yes, I'm sure you think everything there isn't stupid and certainly not as stupid as the Hulu rant, but to many of the rest of us, it's in the same Zip Code.

Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 14, 2012, 10:35:29 AM And I'm sure Robert Stark believed most of what he posted too.

I also missed a lot, I'm sure others will be along to add (and critique) my list. See the funny thing is if Teddy was still here he'd probably flip out on you for saying "zip code" there since those only exist in the US, just as he flipped out over the "What congressional districts have you been in this year?" thread even though plenty of people were posting foreign equivalents in the thread. And I'm sure Robert Stark believed most of what he posted too. So basically you're saying Teddy wasn't autistic and just went on that whole rant for whatever idiotic reason you want to defend yourself with? No I'm saying the fact that he probably believed the nonsense he posted doesn't make him any better of a poster. Title: Re: What banned poster do you most want back? Post by: Grumpier Than Thou on April 14, 2012, 10:52:03 AM I don't think you understand what autism is and how it works.
