funny movie (Page 1 of 2)

Interesting sense of humor.

My opinion is that naming this "Funnny Movie" is misleading.

I think that ***WARNING: VIEW AT OWN RISK***  is more appropriate.

Don't watch that if you have a heart condition, you may go into cardiac arrest.

Jonathon's the same kid I removed several weeks ago for being immature and hotheaded during the previous period of weirdness when the atmosphere here was already explosive. For the past year I have talked with him on instant messenger about various subjects, and via one-on-one I don't mind helping him despite his dyslexia or odd questions, but having him on the forum is a different matter. At the time we discussed it offlist and he gladly agreed to leave the forum and read posts from then on as a guest - no loss to him as he can read and learn all he wants. Then he rejoins a few weeks later contrary to his agreement and posts the same stuff as before. I just discovered this last night and therefore removed him again. He hasn't been banned, just deleted as a user, which I guess is injury though without the insult. Then he joins again as "Billing" pretending to be a friend of Jonathon and letting us all know he's been banned. I tried posting my notice about Jonathon last night but my site went down. Jonathon's IP:  210.54.194.133 -- Billing's IP: 210.54.194.133. Those are his first and last names, respectively.

As for Thoth, he emailed me with a request to delete his account. I guess he got offended because I edited a long string of "f***"s out of one of his posts, and deleted another thread of his in the Humor and Fun section where he posted a link to a page about various violent and degrading things to do to women during sex, talking about how utterly hilarious this page was.

So to summarize: Jonathon rejoined despite saying he wouldn't, then signed on under "Billing" after discovering he had been removed again, and Thoth asked me to delete his account after being offended at my moderating one post and one thread of his.

Trust me, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that MOST people here "don't know about."   Then somebody gets banned, or removed at their own request, and people start jumping to conclusions and getting indignant at the moderator.  There's a lot more to the aaronfirebrand situation for instance, that most everybody here is completely unaware of.  And pretty much NOBODY saw that link that Thoth posted, because montalk was able to delete it right away, but if they had seen it, it would have painted Thoth in a whole new light.  Unless you're someone who finds that humor funny, you would have been frowning, trust me.    You gotta love people who come on here pretending to be interested in the topics discussed at Montalk and on the forum, meanwhile, their posts show something very different.  Like Thoth for instance.   His first paragraph in his very first post was this long winded ego stroking compliment directed towards me, "Oh lyra, I love your writings, you're so great, you're so wonderful...."  which raised the red alarm flags for me.   Being the target of somebody's opening paragraph is unnerving, it's like being "marked" in the crosshairs.   From there he proceeded to get involved in long winded back and forth and back and forth and back and forth debates about who knows what.  Half of his replies said absolutely nothing, and just served to keep the debate endlessly going, sucking up energy and time.   I politely backed out of one of them because it was a time waster and energy drain.   Then he began attacking aaronfirebrand, writing nasty posts which cussed him out, then going back and editing them and deleting them.    Then his other posts began taking on that acerbic tone, cussing and saying sarcastic things to various members.   Then he posted that last "humor link", which described as montalk put it, violent and degrading things to do to women during sex, which was supposed to be "SOOOOOO" funny.    That was the true Thoth, glimpses of which had popped out here and there throughout his posts leading up to that, but which seemed to go unnoticed by most people here.      And the rest is history.

I can confirm what Montalk and lyra are saying.  I've seen a lot of the distracting nonsense that was posted by aaron and thoth and personally think the board is better off without their posts.  I'm also opposed to censorship in general but think Montalk's policy here is very open and only cutting out some very obscene and inflammatory comments that have no redeeming value.

Most of us appear very STO oriented, open minded, intelligent, and reasonable.  I'm sure we'd all like to keep it that way.

morningsun-- I remember seeing this video a couple years back. I think it's a case of "what's goes around comes around." Nice way to feed negative forces with a big jolt of fear.
