He posted that because he's posting on a "FREE PUBLIC message board."

It's one thing for people to find someone's far fetched posting humerous. You, the asshat that you are, have to actually take it personally, and try to ban people off a friggin' forum.

Or at least leave the argument in the original thread.

Skoorb is well-respected and is always helpful and never rude. What gives him the authority to do whatever the hell he wants is the fact that he wouldn't do something without good reason.
What's so hard to understand about a community catering to the people who best support it?


refer to link in sig for more info.

You haven't even been here a month yet & you're already pissing people off.

Back a long time before you joined this place, hell before your mental equivalency was an itch in his daddy's pants, AT was a community - There are people here I've known and respected for almost four years, people I consider to be friends.

There are members of this forum who wouldn't think to lie about who they are, we present ourselves exactly as we are - And we enjoy each other's company.

There is no place for anything else here.

That is all well and fine, but don't you even sense a growing trend of people using this reason for whatever means they want to try to get someone banned or socially reprimanded? I am not saying Skoorb is one of those people; just over the years, he's a ranter and ranters need to rant somewhere...better over the internet where it is truly harmless rather than another form of displacement.

Think of what is happening

"I'm a xxxx-member with xxxx posts and I think these (whatever that they are pmsing about) people need to be banned because it goes against the community or "adds nothing to it."

Then other members who share the same irks begin to agree.

"Second!" "Thirded!" and so on and so forth.

A rational member chimes in.

"Why should he get banned again?"

Mob answers

"Cuz he posts in a way I don't agree and, though not exactly violating TOS, is bad for the 'community.'"

"Oh, I guess that makes sense...if it's for the 'community.'"

Do you see what's going on? Do any of you really think this is a healthy way of thinking? Especially thinking about other people? I really think this is ATOT's greatest flaw as a community: It can't deal with problem members in a social way so they lynch mob up and try to get him/her banned. Ignoring someone, though the most effective way, is never an option.

I don't agree with the guy, but I think banning him is a little extreme. He didn't post porn or offensive material. Just speaking his mind.

Hmmm...i agreed with everything else in your post, but i'm going to have to disagree with you here. He may not attack members personally, but he is sometimes rude.
