Con, first of all, you know I like you bigtime, and I'm not a troll, AND I couldn't give a flying fuck about Blackfoot, so sure as shit I don't serve any malignant agenda here by opposing your actions. Keep that in mind pls.
No, banning him is too easy. I want to break him. I'd much rather torture him by taking away the only tools he has (besides his stupidity) to troll people with. Not being able to use his multiple personalities will likely drive him over the cliff. Imagine putting a schizophrenic patient with major OCD in an asymmetrical room with no doors or windows and filled with mud.
I apologized to you before because I honestly thought you banned the duals as some sort of action against Blackfoot crossing the line by posting RL info. I still think that's one of the few reasons why people should be banned, even or, maybe, especially at a troll board. We have to have some clear written rules, otherwise we open the door to every psychopath there is. And with banning, I mean banning the main AND the duals, not merely DC'ing somebody.
Problem is - you clearly express that this is not what it's all about.
You use your admin powers to troll.
I don't care if someone else did it before you. See, Troll Kindom means something to me, I've never seen a board with more freedom for their posters while at the same time remaining within the limits of what I constitute as 'socially sane'.
I want it to stay that way. Do you have any idea how much the blatant racism and White Power trash annoy me? (Not to mention the fact that there is a slight chance that I am already on some German shit list for posting with people who deny the reality of the Holocaust. Yes, Germany is strange like that.) I don't complain, or leave, or try to 'do' anything about it because a) that's the way of TK, b) most of those posts are troll bait, anyway, and c) I ferociously believe in Freedom of Speech and the right for every poster to behave like a prick, as long as they obey the ToS. And that, my love, is the reason why I don't want admins or mods to DC or ban duals/posters just to fuck them deep in the neck.
I'm obsessed with removing and lmiting the retards
I know it's out of context, but anyway: who are you to decide what should happen to the retards? Don't you see how that opens the door to complete admin fuckery? What if one of the other admins think that posters you deem worthy to be here are retards and annoying? Would you be ok with their duals being banned?
Now, I am all for getting rid of retards, don't get me wrong. I just don't want people to use admin powers to achieve that.
Charles has put my info on his personal blog, another blog site, and his message board.
Once again: You are concerned that he posted your/jack's/your friend's RL info?
Ban him. Better yet, ask the board owner to ban him, so nobody could scream admin abuse.
Any other reason you stated does in any way constitute a reason to use the admin buttons imo. Jack does a fine job without them, and so did you in the past.
I have absolutely no intention of stepping down for the complaints given. So far it's been one half-assed complaint and two baits from TK old-timers. So, to clarify my earlier statement: If the general populace has a major issue with what I have done, I'll quit. So far, judging by the karma I've racked up in this thread alone, I'd say most everyone is happy with my inaugural gift... Even if they don't exactly agree with my ethics.
I have absolutely no intention to ask you to step down. What I am asking you to do is to see the problem with using your admin power the way you have and to stop doing it.
The sad irony is that you have achieved to lure Blackfoot out of hiding and provoke him to reply coherently. You have no idea who fucking awesome I would have found it if you had only achieved it by 'simple' trolling. Unfortunately, the end does not justify the means, at least not in my book.
Well, he abused his privelege and it was revoked. Nowhere in the rules does it say that users are allowed to create as many duals/socks as they want. It also mentions nothing about using those accounts to act like a dick. Charles confessed in this thread that his motive was disruption. Aside from the rules tap-dancing he does, the disruptive crap is specifically disallowed by the rules.
Just because the US constitution doesn't say that the US citizens are allowed to eat doesn't mean you gotta starve to death.
You know, fuck, if anybody else would have stated the above, you'd be one of the first to point out that, hello, this is a
troll board. Disruption and acting like a dick actually
is a raison d'être at TK. The most that should happen is that the threads are moved, (which was already being done IIRC).
Duals have always been an unspoken understanding. The understanding that you can have them if you're not a dick. Duals have been banned here before. They'll be banned again. Hell, before they cleaned the banned userlist, I had a few duals that had been singled out. This trend is nothing new and ever-debated.
Um, no. Duals are accepted at TK. Period. No strings attached.
Now let's get ourselves some nice, unsuspecting mb to troll.
