The Hootie thread

[Mr. Flopnuts]

If we're going to have another 2000 post thread, it may as well be here.

Austin, If that could wait until Monday, i'd appreciate it, I don't really want to download AIM on this PC. I have it at work and do deals on it all damned day, I sometimes hear a ping and it's not even going off. I'll get on it on Monday and present this idea.

If Claythan reads this, he'll do it. But Hootie may've blocked him (not sure), additionally - Hootie isn't always logged, but I'll try it on Monday. Be easy on that Austin trim tonight, cuz.

There's no logic to it. It's just phobia being phobia.

It's buried in the thread, but basically Phobia had restored him on the understanding that he was on probation and would be held to a higher standard. The stuff he did wouldn't get somebody who had never been in trouble before banned, but it was enough to get him booted.

I'm very much an "end justifies the means" type of person. So frankly, I don't give a shit why - I'm just glad he's gone.

I didn't restore him. I didn't even outline the terms of the agreement. I just enforced it. The mods all agreed to restore him because he really, really wanted to come back and promised to be on best behavior.

So, what you guys are saying is I should let Phobia win at poker or it's the ban hammer for me. Got it.

My apologies for blaming you for letting him back.

See, I don't understand this mentality. Every time there's one of these threads, you're always at the front with a pitchfork and a torch... But if I really were the guy you've made me out to be, don't you think I'd be banning my most vocal detractors whenever I got into a banning mood? Doesn't that frighten you, Brock? Do you feel your ChiefsPlanet life hanging in the balance?

I'll tell you this much though... it was a real rush pushing that button and this thread has been one helluva way to spend my Saturday afternoon.

You must be one obtuse mother****er if you think I'm at the front with a torch and a pitchfork. This is what....my first...now second? post in this thread. I really don't give a shit what you do or who you abuse with your mighty mod powers.

Yeah? You seem interested enough to participate in every single "why was he banned" thread that has ever appeared on this board. We have this discussion every time. But you don't give a shit. I see.

No worries. Just putting the record straight. Despite appearances, I'm not "out to get" Hootie or anybody else. Our mod team communicates quite well. We generally reach a consensus.

So, what you're saying is that it was a mutual agreement between mods to bring back Hootie. Therefore, banning him was also a mutual agreement between mods, but you were given the ban hammer?

Nope. Yesterday's ban-hammer was all me.

Then what Brock said was true and it didn't warrant a retort.
