There are obviously differences, but they're irrelevant. The droolers screamed and wailed and hysterically sobbed over getting bad mouthed in a thread where they couldn't defend themselves. There were no caveats about it being ok to do so if they were banned based on their behavior vs being prevented from the get go.
Or is that where this is getting walked back to now? Can I start a similar thread, make rules, and when they're broken ban them and proceed to talk a bunch of **** about them?
Because guess how long it would take Dids, Keeed and LK to toddler tantrum for days on end over this?

Plus, the idea of starting that kind of thread with the specific intention of dissing excluded posters (that's how I interpreted your intention) seems kind of like a bitch move.
Compare that to the drunk rape thread where you were banned after x months for your actual posting content and it was in a situation where almost everyone disagreed with you and found your posting to be distasteful. Very different, and nothing to do with the future quality of the forum since it's such a rare occurence. I'd say it's pretty lame for fly to be dropping your name regularly but given the context (ongoing discussion from which you were an unpopular participant) it's far less lame than starting a thread specifically for people to do that.
That's my take. I don't think it's hypocritical of keeed or whoever else you mentioned to not be up in arms about it.
See above, but thanks for at least acknowledging the bolded. Not that it matters, as you weren't one of the indignant children back when all this went down.

Yeah, do it all the time. There are definitely reasons why I waited months and months to bring up this problem which I had obviously IDed in my many prior vanity searches. Good reasons too. Many of them.
