Hey, he was just asking.

It's unfortunate his browser doesn't have a history function, so he could have gone back and read the site he apparently only skimmed.

That doesn't terribly subtle, but I appreciate what you do to keep some of the more obvious racist bullshit out of here.

He said he deleted his browser history. Which is probably for the best. Who knows what depths of the internet he trawls

It's mostly pretty standard stuff.

Yes, you're right, I missed that. My apologies, Luckbox.

Some posts were cleaned in this thread, and that includes replies.

Needless to say, going "unfortunately mods have asked me to stop saying [...]" before repeating a type of posts you have been told to stop posting in this forum isn't a clever workaround.

I suspect if lagtight does not return to this area of 2+2, I will propose a ban on post about him or what he has posted. (Honestly looking at you here QP) Similar to bashing a past moderator here that consistently gets mentioned. If you want to discuss LT stuff, find him somewhere else.

If LT does return...and I suspect he will at some point, then the white gloves can be set down on the table and the back-and-forth can start all over again.

sorry uke and sorry nutella for going off on you. That was inappropriate, I have/had a terrible beef in my family and friends about academics/ views / lifestyle etc. Nutella was correct about a few things, Im posting when Im stoned and tilting, and I should know better. And I accused him of being a nazi, when in rethinking it, he actually accused me of being a nazi at one point. (which I am definetely not) He has not posted anything said that I remember being racist or wrong. He is usually on point and I just went off on him because he said somehting that was true but hurtful.

I rarely think to check in this thread. Did not know laggy had ducked out of this forum for a while.

I do want you to consider how very normal that is for him when questions get, what I will pinning. He ducks out and returns at some point later to reboot from scratch with his usual points as if we did not just go all through it.

From a moderation standpoint I understand that is challenging but it is gaming the system quite a bit imo.

I hope you read the part that said "if he comes back, let him have it!"

I also have seen the ducking part of his MO. Doesn't mean that posters can continually torch him when he is gone.

And THAT is the end of this here....in this thread. Verstehen?

Washoe don't sweat it. No worries on this end

Some posts were punted from the "Prosecution of Trump" thread to the containment thread.

It was intertwined with some colorful language and descriptions of the type King Spew specifically stated he did not want, so it was deleted.

So the mods will ignore questions that make them uncomfortable, got it.

Didn't you get a ban once, in the long long ago, for "failing to take a hint"?

Well, next time stick to only posing the question, instead of loading it with trolling and content a mod just said he did not want more of, and you’ll probably find better success.

OK here goes:

I don’t understand why it’s forbidden to mention posters who got banned. It seems like a pointless rule designed to protect horrible posters and afaict none of the other subforums have this rule. Seems like posters should avoid getting banned if they don’t want the rest of us to point and laugh at them.

I didn’t use any swears at all in that post, I’m quite proud of myself.

No it's just very basic common decency

Maybe another place will accomodate your need to be hateful towards people who aren't even there but it's great to see mods not allowing it here.

Chez, you’re not even in this hand, buddy. Let the mods answer for themselves.

If only we were prohibited from ever mentioning Trolly ever again!
