Yes, I was forum banned for three days. Yes I went into withdrawal symptoms. And all because, even though I usually have a relatively high tolerance for stupidity, sometimes ... ! Sigh.

That's the first time in about 16 years of being online that I've been banned from any forum ... anywhere. Congrats, NS General ( Jolt ). :)

NOTE TO FRISBEETERIA: Even though I considered what I posted hilarious, it almost goes without saying that it was marginal. Kudos!

Now you know how it feels to ban someone three times your age, eh? :D

What!!!??? Eut was banned? FOR WHAT!!???

Essentially for telling Achtung 45 to eat shit and die, albeit in a humorous manner.

What a naughty one :eek:

What did Achtung 45 do to get under your skin, Eutrusca? Call you out on some junk disguised as news/commentary you posted again? :D

Umm methinks you didn't learn from your forum ban given this is the first comment you make once back!

Hmm, I've been DEATED from Liberal forums (actually a Hard-Left forum masquarading as a Deisim discussion group...) for being a "Conservative Christian" and from "Conservative" Groups for being a "Godless Heathen/Liberal" (for posting virtually the same arguments... I guess that pretty much describes a solid Libertarian - doesn't it...) but not for Flaming. Ya got me beat there. :p

Hey-Welcome back!

Thread title brings a Jimmy Buffet song to mind. And thats a good thing on a beautiful friday. May call for a Corona/lime.
Or should I wait till noon?

Welcome back Eutrusca. :D

I'm like a pure, innocent lamb compared to you. I've only gotten warned for spamming, flaming, borderline flaming, and threatening mod action. :D

Achtung was being stupid. It was a pretty immature way to handle it, but Achtung DID have it coming.

Is there a link to the thread where Achtung was supposedly asking for it? I've been offline for about a week (I can relate to the withdrawal, Eutrusca) and missed all the hubbub.

Hey?


Where the fucking news clip?

Every other thread of yours I've seen has a damn news article attached! Why not this one?

Here, let fix that for you. And maybe it will give you some ideas on things to do should you ever get your ass hoofed from the boards again


LONDON (Reuters (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050615/od_nm/britain_rambler_dc;_ylt=AkUPfHtcZ2S5XfCOzEWBJK0SH9EA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl)) - A 46-year-old former Royal Marine who braved 14 arrests and five months in jail to walk the length of Britain wearing nothing but his boots sets out on Thursday to repeat the naked journey -- and this time with his girlfriend.

Stephen Gough and hairdresser Melanie Roberts, 33, will strip off and set out from Land's End in Cornwall, at the southeastern tip of England, on an 874-mile nude trek to John O'Groats in Scotland.

"Why do it with no clothes on? To celebrate the fact that I'm a human being and that there is nothing shameful in being a human being. There's nothing wrong with a naked body," Gough, dubbed the "naked rambler," told Reuters.

During Gough's first naked walk across Britain in 2003-4, he was arrested 14 times for breach of the peace -- on one occasion he was held for being a traffic hazard -- and spent five months in jail in Inverness, Scotland.

"There are no laws in this country saying you can't walk naked," Gough said. "All it says is that if you are naked and you have an intent to harm, that's a crime."

"I have no intent to harm. I'm just going to walk from Land's End to John O'Groats."




After all, we wouldn't you suffering from withdrawl again....

Achtung was being stupid. It was a pretty immature way to handle it, but Achtung DID have it coming.

I read the thread in question where Eutrusca got his forum ban. Achtung certainly didn't say anything to deserve what Eutrusca did. We will agree on the fact that it was extremely immature thing for Eutrusca to do. It made me lose a great deal of respect for him actually. For someone who loves (for what reason I'm unsure) to boost about how old they are and make a real issue of age all the time, all he did was prove age at the end of the day doesn't matter.

Anyway, he did his time and is back, I just hope he can act more his age now than that of a 12 year old. Then maybe I will have some respect for him again.

Xan!

Look at you-you're the judge now? I dont agree with you.

No, I was simply expressing my feelings on the matter. You are welcome to have your own feelings on the matter too.

Yes, how dare he post a link to something of interest which may challenge how some people view the media

And you remain as linguistically pedantic as ever :D I'd be disappointed if you weren't!

Is the thread still accessible, or has it been deleted? I'd like to take a look at it.

Here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9060972#post9060972) it is. I think you'll find it difficult to swallow the 'he had it coming' or even the 'hard to suffer stupidity.' It's a video that shows O'Rielly editing an interview with a senator to make it look like the senator is calling for one thing and then O'Rielly calls for the exact thing the senator was actually saying as Bill's own idea. It's pretty horrendous.

But the very notion, it seems, that we dare to question Bill of Fox News, or in any way examine the media without crying "Liberal media" (wolf) is apperantly to ask for ridicule. Because Eutrusca is about as centrist as Bill O'Rielly-in that they both say they are. So there must of been some kinship.

"Grammatical," even.
Are you sure? Your Pedantry may be grammatical, but it is also of or pertaining to grammar; i.e. "the grammatic structure of a sentence".

Damn. Now you've got me doing it. I'll have to write three sentences in l337 just to get over it. Curse You! :D

The sad thing is that my sentence containing "up to which" was an obscure reference to just that, as a small attempt at refuting the claims of my grammatical pedantry, but it seems as though it was lost on most.

I suggest waiting until noon ... that will be in about seven minutes here, in case that helps. Good thing it's "noon" somewhere in the world almost anytime you choose, eh? :D

It happens to the best of us, Eutrusca.

Except me, of course.

LOL! Well, that's all kewl, as long as you don't expect me to walk naked through any area in the US. Most jurisdictions take a rather dim view of that. Besides, I wouldn't want to frighten anyone. :D

FASS, you discombobulated dweeb! You're one of those on here I missed the most! :D

It wasn't about the link. It was about how even a patient, not easily aggravated person such as myself, can finally reach his threshold level for tolerance of idiocy. :D

Hmmm :rolleyes:

Yet the thread showed no such thing from any poster except you. That's why you got banned, not him. I have seen you be inpatient many times on this forum with people. You hide behind a smiley or make it appear to not bother you, when clearly it does. The only person tooting your horn really is you. You may think it was a joke or a well deserved reply. However you seem to be in the minority in that opinion.

Just let it go. You were wrong and you were punished for being wrong. Don't try to justify your actions, because you can't. Best thing you can do is not repeat them.

I suggest you go back and read the original post in this thread. Please note that I admited the post for which I was banned was at best, marginal.

Actually, I think it was more like, "That is a criticism up with which I will not put." It was prompted by someone observing that Churchill sometimes allowed his participles to dangle. :)

Oh, for crying out loud, CTM! It was a joke in that I thought it was funny, even if no one else did. I suspect you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Besides, as you would know if you had read most of my posts on social issues, I qualify as "centrist" because I'm pretty "liberal" on social issues, and relatively "conservative" on international issues. This is why labels are so misleading. They're so easily manipulated depending on the political leanings of those using them.

Whatever. :rolleyes:

No, you make it sound like a big joke and that you are the salt of the earth who finally lost it when something so absurd was posted. When that's not what happened at all. You seem to take no responsibility for your own actions and seem to blame the person you flamed for your poor judgement. I read the title, but I don't see you saying you were wrong and your first day back you indirectly keep flaming the guy by saying he was some how an idiot. Wow, you really think such thin veiled insults towards the person whom you got banned over is not obvious? You're the one who messed up. Take responsibility for your actions, stop trying to blame the person who posted a valid link in a thread, unlike yourself.

Obviously getting banned didn't help you learn any lesson here.
