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

So you agreed that Hootie should be banned for saying something as innocuous as that while agreeing that a monthlong series of threads encouraging everyone to call each other out was just peachy?

Short of threats, spam, and porn, who cares? What can some random dude on the Internet really say that is so terrible that people can't deal with it?

I've never felt compelled to rep anyone, ignore anyone, give an infraction, or supported a ban, and I'm still alive. The people who are most vocal about calling out Hootie sure don't have problems dishing it out.

I do not agree with this, hootie did deserve his original ban and if he was still banned for that, it would be justified.

Never said "trust me". I said "it's a process" as a nod to our 2011 head coach - pure silliness.

I explained my reasons to the best of my ability. I am aware that not everybody is going to agree. That's the risk you run volunteering for leadership at a place like this. I have two regrets from this entire ordeal:
1. Agreeing to allow Hootie back in the first place. That was clearly a mistake.
2. Allowing you to get to me earlier. I should have handled that better. I came off like a big puss in my response and I regret acting like that. I don't know why but I value your opinion perhaps more than I should and criticism from you sets me off.

I love the way you just can't grasp the concept that people vote for you in the poll because they really think you are a douche.

Which ban? The one where CC was drunk, got into a fight with Hootie, stupidly shared personal info, and was shocked that it didn't end well?

Shouldn't you be off doing drugs in a gutter somewhere or getting cut off from your family or something?

If you don't want some stranger talking about private matters, don't get drunk, get in a fight, and then share personal information with that poster. It was a dick move by Hootie, but it's ultimately on CC.

I'd need a time machine for that stuff. I can make you squeal like a little girl in the here and now.

He quickly ended up getting banned again, and I honestly don't even remember why. We let him back once again, with a strong warning that he was on a short leash and would be held to a higher standard until he proved he could play nice. One week later, he's being an ass again.

Anyway, point is... I was the most on Hootie's side, and even I was growing tired of him.. There's a point where "loose moderation " becomes "let everyone be an ass to each other all day long," and frankly that gets old.

To be honest, he didn't really deserve the last ban. I was calling him an attention whore (few will doubt that he is) and he called me a liar and called me a pedo-phile a couple of times to prove some twisted point so I decided to see if I could get him banned. I succeeded.

A leopard never changes his spots. The dirtbag you shave with will always be you, just older and fatter now. Congratulations on being the first obese drug addict I've ever heard of, though. I didn't even know those existed.

**dirk digler** · 01-14-2012, 10:40 PM

Since supposedly the community has a lot of say on this site why don't we put it up for a vote to see if Hootie can stay or be banned?

Seems fair to me.

He's going to get his own forum. No rules except you can't post there if you have a goatee.

SQUEAL PUSSY SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you shaking with rage? Fighting back tears? Sorry, you pampered little twat, you don't bother me. I've overcome and conquered more than you could fathom, and I'm not ashamed of it. As opposed to your chickenshit bitch ass.

Keep it coming, honey. I'll be here.
