So if he's telling people not to do it.. Why the fuck does he do it himself?
Why he does it is irrelevant. Why is that a reason to alienate him? Since that is the reason you gave for alienating him, wouldn't you need to alienate everyone who uses the ignore function wrong?

Now you're putting words in my mouth.
1: I think he is legally retarded. I do not believe he has any business near electronic devices which he could possibly hurt himself with, nor do I think he should be allowed to operate any motor-driven vehicles exceeding the weight of a motorized scooter.
2: Right here:
quote:
If people would stop complaining and just use the FOE like its meant to be used it would be much more pleasant for everyone concerned.
He tells people to use the ignore feature and everything will be fine. But it is hypocritical of himself to berate others for their improper use of the ignore feature when he also effectively ignores the ignore feature.
WHAT PART OF THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

Baaaa I say Baaaaa.
alright honestly. i havent said anything about you yet but im gonna now. thats ridiculous. yes you can express your opinions, yes you can argue, and no one here is a sheep since...oh yeah, we're all different. point is this: be your own person and whatever, but realistically, sorry, but you need to learn to assimilate. keep your mouth shut when its appropriate. dont pick random fights without warrant. make useful contributions to the forum. and if we're really so bad.....leave

Sean attempted to be funny by writing:
Almost everything you said is invalidated by the fact that YOU don't even use ignore properly.
Sorry, I misread that. I dont exactly know what I thought you were saying, but the gist of it was "I hate him because he's not using ignore right"
"He tells people to use the ignore feature and everything will be fine. But it is hypocritical of himself to berate others for their improper use of the ignore feature when he also effectively ignores the ignore feature. "
Being hypocritical doesn't make him wrong.

I actually am aware of that thread by Snuggles. I thought about posting there last night, but decided it would be rather trollish for me to do so and wisely refrained. Jackman fucked around with this message on 08-24-2005 at 01:10 PM.

No, Jackman has no point. Your mistake is assuming everyone has the right, somehow, to hang out in groups where they don't fit in. You assume this is supposed to be some kind of public place where we don't have the option of choosing who we let hang out. He has no basic right to come here and enjoy himself if he refuses to fit in with the community. Even if, as seems more and more likely, he's just too stupid to do it and it's not his fault, that's not a reason for us to feel obliged to take him on as a charity case.
The bottom line is that regardless why he came here or what jollies it gives him, he doesn't fit in, isn't capable of fitting in, and brings nothing of value to the community. If you're really that fucking desperate for an mp3 biotch, then ask Drys to code the board so that's the only thread he can access. 
Honestly, what the fuck is with the bleeding hearts who think pathetic losers have some God-given right to hang out and annoy the cool people? His only fucking point was, "I'm pathetic and want to hang out with you guys."

It's just annoying to hear someone say random idiots have the right to hang out with whoever they choose, and the other party has nothing to say about it. Not liking someone is a perfectly good reason to banish them from your company.

I disagree with you on how the ignore feature is meant to be used. Rather than use it to ignore the people youd rather not deal with, youre using it as an excuse to post whatever you want.
EverCrest is a community and it has certain standards of acceptance. Some people dont belong or fit in. Its important to foster the kind of atmosphere they want because that allows them to draw in more like-minded people. Allowing anyone to come in and spout off whatever they want degenerates the board and the community, whether the option to ignore is there or not.
As people have berated you for posting stupid things, your response has been to become increasingly passive aggressive. In my opinion what you post doesnt constitute a banning, but you shouldnt be surprised that a lot of people dont like you. Youre not always going to be loved by everyone but when you continue to post despite a very small amount of positive feedback, you should question your motives and reasons for posting here.

I wouldn't agree that this is some sort of private club, I indeed view it as more of a public place and it appears to also be designed as such with only relatively broad rules of conduct and completely open registration. I also wouldn't call EC a cohesive group since we have tons of members who would strangle or at least ban each other in an instant if given the opportunity.
How can you hate me when you dont really know me?
The other 50% dont want me banned or dont care one way or the other. I see no reason to see this as anything more than what it is. An attempt by a small group of people to get rid of an outsider.
So unless someone bans me permantly (and I hope they don't) Im not planning on going anywhere. There are enough other people on this forum that I can interact with.
I feel the longer I am here the more I will begin to fit in or at worst be tolerated. As I said before I'm trying to get along I dont really do anything wrong and I enjoy most of what EC has to offer.
Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
I see about 50% of the people who want to see you banned and 20% (rounding up) that don't care if you're banned.
So it's about 70% pro-ban, 40% no-ban.

47.66 (ban and no way im the worst since Somthor)
12.15 (victim)
15.89 dont care
23%.36 against
and someone who thought it would be swell to say I am great (thank you

Those are the numbers atm that makes it less than 50% and the rest either dont care or are against.

Wow, so on top of your many other ineptitudes you can't do math, either?
Here's how the poll breaks down in real numbers:
And you keep forgetting the most important point: being allowed to hang out with people isn't about what you can mooch off them. It's about what you contribute to the group. If 70% of a particular group dislike you, you should be smart enough to find somewhere you can fit in, not keep whining how much you like it there. No one cares.

To me, it would appear that 51 people (let's face it, percentages are irrelevant in this type of situation) want you gone. I'm one of them, and the only part of that option I didn't agree with is that you are worse than Somthor. Somethor was at the bottom of the barrel. You are a few inches above it, struggling.
A whole 13 people think you're a victim. Wow...13...
17 people wouldn't care if you were banned, but wouldn't care if you weren't. Since they're neutrals, they can't really be counted when the question is, "Ban Jackman or no?" It's like asking someone, "Soup or salad?" and having them just shrug at you.
The 25 people who actively don't want you banned, even then don't necessarily like you. The are probably the rules purists who only don't want to see you banned because you haven't broken any.
The one entire person who might actually like you, either does it because he thinks your stupid shit is funny in one way or another, or that was your own vote.
I wouldn't get too excited about a "majority" not wanting you banned. Over 50 people do, and that's pretty much the majority of active posters around here. Lurkers love to vote without posting for some reason.

How can you complain about a person you cant see or hear? If you have me on foe Ill likely put you on foe as well which means any thread you originate I will never see.
If enough people honestly feel that way then I believe it takes care of it self. How many "Somthor" types have there been before I got here? 4? 5? I doubt I was bad as they were.
Last I heard when Kait was still active I was viewed in a better light. Since she was temp ban, and apparently hasnt posted since I got put on the chopping block. Seems to me a good portion of that 50 people need someone to persecute. If its not me it will be someone else or the next newbie who has trouble fitting in.
I also think about half of you would ban the other half if they felt they could get away with it.
Its pretty lame to pay to ban people IMHO Jackman fucked around with this message on 08-24-2005 at 07:19 PM.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that you're just an innocent dude being persecuted for things that aren't your fault. After all, if you're just a victim in this tragic affair--a victim of vicious sociopaths who can't be happy unless they're torturing somebody better than themselves--you've nothing to change. Everything's fine. It's everyone else who's wrong.
Just because 70% of a given population don't like you doesn't mean you should socialize with someone else. The world has a duty to accept you as you are, not be mean and ask you to fit in. Or ask the completely unthinkable: that you go hang out with people who like you back.
The odd thing is that many people join without problems. Few people end up being banned, although most who don't fit in are smart enough to go away. So far it's just the utter cretins like you, Somthor, and Paul554 who are so desperate for attention of any kind they just won't go where they're wanted. If such places exist.
Yes, this is a fun place to hang out. Know why? Because we don't suffer idiots.
