Oh, look...an explicit admission of trolling in ATF. For the history books!

That should get the artwork sorted - I'll get the copy over to you asap.

Obviously I don't agree that never responding is best but I don't bother with the trolls anymore as you must know.
The intention behind this thread was to contain the discussion and clean up the Mike Brown thread iirc, and while I was happy enough not to have posted in any public Bruce thread before this and so was kinda pissed when I ended up with a ton of posts (that I am admittedly adding to here) in this thread, it doesn't mean it wasn't the right decision.

If you think the thread doesn't help then it seems you have something you could do to actually increase the chances Bruce posts and yet you choose to do something different. That's your choice.

Chez,

Hypothetically, if Bruce's conditions for returning included de-modding MrWookie (not even permanently, just for a significant period of time measured in months), how would you feel about that being labeled a ridiculous and unrealistic demand?

Many of them clearly don't give a hoot either way and some even go as far as to want Bruce back so they can have even more fun.

If you move a thread to the forum people can express themselves almost any way they choose, you may just get that, predictable and deserved. Just because people can post a bunch of crap, doesn't mean people shouldn't do anything else.

Is Unchained too challenging for Mrwookie?

Fun that doesn't last and at the expense of a better appeal. 99 ways to have fun on this website, choosing this topic to have fun is a revelatory statement.

I think at this point, I'd be interested to see how Bruce handled coming back.

I find wilful obtuseness (especially when its used in obviously hypocritical rants) pretty amusing. I suspect him coming back would lead to more of that - which means I'd probably 'have fun' with it.

Of course, if he just came back and started posting in SMP/Probability I'd probably never know or care. But I have a feeling if Bruce ever came back as his old user he'd be unable to control himself and would start 'drama' that would likely be full of hypocrisy and victimhood.

Is it time for a #teamSMP culling yet?

Realistically, I think any further punishment related to this matter is unnecessary. Mrwookie and the posters in his agreeance are just overboard on an opinion.

They obviously aren't going to shame and shun themselves and go off into the wild to reflect on their mistakes. So that means they can't hold too tightly to the shame and shun philosophy that was previously offered as the underlying impetus of their political behavior. It should have been flagged as mostly pseudo-science immediately.

I'm seeing a title of "Fiasco II... Resurrection". The main graphic is Christ on the cross, of course. The tag line states "Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016... BruceZ will return !!!1!".

Of course, I also kinda see team #cockroach as being the "Four to Seven Simple Minded Posters Ronin". They've been scheming all these months to bring about the downfall of House MrWookie, and restore their disgraced master, BruceZ's, name as well as restore his mod-ship over the Probability fief. The SN seppuku of TomCowley fit's nicely into this alternate narrative.

Cleaning up the threads was the right thing to do but the noise goes on either way and it's not my choice.

This thread is far less worse than having the noise everywhere - that's nothing to do with Bruce btw it's just ridiculous to have every thread tarded up with noise about Bruce.

Edit: Just to add you can see the benefit of this thread in the forums as when they try to make noise about Bruce I'm happy to tell them to bring it here. The alternative are it's unchecked or addressed in the forums - both worse imo.

You mean let him live!!

In case you are serious. I would be against such a demand and it's so far off the ballpark it's not even close to unrealistic.

Point of order- there's a poster named wall de ripper IIRC and that makes this nickname v. bad.
05-05-2015 , 01:50 PM
Wall de ripper is long since banned, but you have a point

playaande's demands for TomCowley to get "freed" after he called Mat a bitch like 9 times in 2 paragraphs is so weird coming from people who literally had a forum-wide anxiety attack over someone getting called racist.

It's almost, and stop me if this sounds familiar, like SMP is entirely about supporting their team and hating everyone else, with no thought whatsoever to the actual content.

masque de zzzzzzzzz

i got nothing else

Wow, that guy did pour it on a little strong. Kinda wonder how you guys break down into the "complete imbeciles" and "delinquent sociopaths" dichotomy. I got pvn as a sociopath, not so sure about MrWookie.
05-05-2015 , 02:12 PM
The greatest part of TowCowley's meltdown is that he totally ignored that **** happened between the different posts of Mat's that he quoted. Like BruceZ completely melting down. Gee, I wonder why Mat changed his position...

I'm honestly not sure how some of these guys function in society.
05-05-2015 , 02:12 PM
Also, and this is maybe getting too close to the bone here, but when dereds flat out asked chez:

Quote:
Have you asked Bruce why he doesn't post? If not why not, if so what does he think about the discussion continuing.
And chez DODGED(i know, how out of character) that question!

Which, I think, must mean that chez isn't like Bruce's liason to other people. Chez is literally doing this without Bruce's urging, possibly without his knowledge, almost certainly without his consent. Which is just, wow. I can't even begin to unpack the point of negotiating for someone else, but that he's doing it in such a way that BruceZ is now synonymous with "that racist mod from the math forum"....

It's a towering achievement, chez. You done good work.

Well, and again we're getting dangerously real here, look at when chez posts. He's in the UK. I don't think he has a job. Similar situations with the playaande/masque writing style, can you imagine having like a normal job and shooting an email Bill over in quant to see if anyone from that floor wants to go to happy hour for Janice's promotion...

and getting back a 15 paragraph dissertation on how a happy hour that lasts 180 minutes proves the very nature of time is subjective?
