Well, it would have a lot to do with all the fairly constant borderline stuff he posts as well as his willingness to troll. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I think we should keep about five or six people like Drakel and Eraserhead around at all times, just so we can belittle them. Eventually, they'd understand that we're mocking them and just leave, to never troll again. Of course, we'd have to block images from them, but the extra programming hopefully would be worth the laughs. -------------------- I HAVE LOCATED MY CAPS LOCK KEY AND FEEL YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT!

Between spam and spam that also contains profanity and insults, guess which one gets punished? TM was warned that he would be banned if he continued to treat RWG as he did. He continued anyway. He was banned. He really has no cause for complaint, although that has never stopped anyone from complaining before. —Alorael, who would like to point out that by precedent, this makes a whole lot more sense than banning someone for citing the dictionary definition of an inoffensive word. Granted, that's not a precedent worth having, but it exists. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

It does strike me, though, that he's been guilty of quite a lot "worse" in the past. It's not as though he's been acting out in any particular fashion in recent times. Why ban him now after letting him do his thing for so long? It seems inconsistent to me. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

There's an expression: "The straw that broke the camel's back." I believe it applies here. —Alorael, who would guess that it's more significant that TM ignored an explicit warning than that he acted up. As others have remarked, TM has never not acted up.

I personally found TM amusing and he was comic relief, something that is good to have on these boards. Even Erasorhead, and dare I say it, Drakel were at least a slight distraction and provided some amusement. This is of course ignoring the images which I now refused to believe exist and I don't want to dig deep in my memory because no-one wants to see that.

quote:"Comic relief" is denigrating. I think TM is somewhat of a lonely genius: Doomed to be unable to get anyone here to understand his ideas, he holds most of the rest of the board in contempt and takes refuge from its stupidity by producing BoE/BoA scenarios with deep philosophical messages that no one beside himself gets. Who should wonder why he is a little grumbly on occasion? -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Perhaps TM tried hard years ago to get people to understand his ideas, and became disgruntled only after prolonged failure. In my short time here, though, I haven't noticed him trying very hard to explain himself. If he would, I for one would be quite prepared to give him a lot more respect. -------------------- It is not enough to discover how things seem to seem. We must discover how things really seem.

His scenarios keep getting better and better. He's also one of the very few who give time and thought to really good and innovative graphic design. edit: I haven't played Mad Ambition. But I hear that it is one of the best, if not the best scenario that's out so far.

Yeah, I've got to agree that TM has always sounded a little angry... and though Mad Ambition is infinitely better than RoR, it's still got that angry, preachy feeling to it. I sense a lot of unresolved anger issues... Hopefully, he'll cool off a bit eventually... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Yes I can spell three letter words. Congrats to me. All this attention is so gratifying though, so thank you all, especially the person who said lets keep people around like me and drakel around 'belittle' us for laughs.

Heh, Erasorhead/Drakel(/TM?) is quite persistant. One of those 3. Or possibly 2 if Drakel and Erasorhead are one and the same. Whats the chances they'll just show up again and post. Did their IP not get banned then or something? Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

quote:I started replying here (to Aran as well), but ended up deleting it as it was turning into a rather ugly rant againt TM and all things pertaining to him. We have tried repeatedly to get him to explain himself clearly... to no avail. Apparently, he honestly doesn't understand that what he means when he says something isn't blindingly obvious to everybody. My personal opinion of the supposed deepness of TM's scenarios is very low. In his occasional forays into the world of coherency, I haven't seen him put together a story that stands up to logical scrutiny (or even a casual glance). His stories and characters are the same as back in the days of Unbalanced Accounts and Echoes, it's just that everything else has stopped sucking. -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

Ah, see, but we can never really know if it's because his ideas are shallow or he can't explain them to us properly. When in doubt, I always assume the best of people.

I do wish he would make himself more accessible at times. But he's nowhere near as venomous as some seem to think. And his scenarios have depth and are genuinely interesting, if not always completely comprehensible. And, as to Alo's camel analogy, that damn camel would have died a thousand times over before now if TM spamming up RWG was enough to break its sorry back. :P -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

I haven't played his scenarios for years and even then I skipped most of them. I would say this, however. Being unnecessarily verbose is not the same as being the next Goethe. -------------------- Voice of Reasonable Morality Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

What part of "It was not the RWG spam" do you not understand? It was repeated obscenities in posts (he likes to slip them in a lot in more 'intellectual' threads) after repeated warnings. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
