But I guess that's really dependent on how you read it.

Yes, let us take a situation on the internet and compare it to a real world situation where solutions are a little bit more straightforward.
Yes, this works.

Drysart is the one who has to do IP bannings. We couldn't do it if we wanted to.
IP Bans are easily sidesteppable. It isn't even really inconvenient, considering the other shit they're pulling - if anything, it would add to the fun and make them feel like LEET HAXORS.
Banning all the Waiszlings instead of just the ones who did it would not only ban the innocent ones, it would do absolutely nothing to stop the ones who actually want to fuck with the board.

So your logic is, we know Waisz, who off the internet is pretty fine,
Pretty sure anyone who would think disrupting other people's days for no reason is fun isn't "fine". Waisz is that kid nobody likes because he's a douchebag. Who then spends all day plotting schemes to get back at the people who don't like him, causing him to be an even bigger douchebag and make even less people like him.
The only reason he may seem "fine" in the real world is because he knows doing stuff like this would have consequences. Don't be fooled. He wishes he could get away with being a gigantic faggot in real life just like he does on the intraweb but he knows he can't.

Exactly. I bet when he was a kid, Waisz was that little fat fuck that everyone hated and made fun of. The one who got his ball taken by the other kids, who then played a game with it, and when they were done, instead of giving it back, they just kicked it up on some random neighborhood roof for good measure.
He does this crap precisely because he knows there's no real-life repercussions to his doucheitude. If the very real possibility of one or more very pissed off ECers showing up on his doorstep to administer a little street-level justice existed, you'd never hear a peep out of the tremendous faggot.

btw banning all the waiszlings is retarded because they didn't do anything or know about it before anything even happened. banning me is pointless because i'll probably just come back and it's not like any permanent damage (it was hardly temporary to be honest) is ever caused and it actually gives the board something to get all hip hop happenin about 
waisz finds things that would be funny to pick on you guys with and i act em out because i think it would be kinda funny too
it's dumb that you guys are all like B& HIM OMG all the time when this is such a small board anyways. i don't think your 1-a-day politics thread is gonna go anywhere when waisz or me fuck around with the UBB flaws once in a great while

Not really. He's saying you're too stupid to qualify as having enough intelligence to know what you're doing.
And the fact that this IS a small community is what makes that sort of shenanigan all the worse, as the odds are it makes a few more shrug and finally decide EC isn't worth coming to anymore. Just because there aren't many people here doesn't mean you can treat the board as your personal playground/testing site.
Since you admit to sharing his view of what's funny, you're no better than he is and deserve the same treatment.
I do stand by what I said about lack of real-life consequences. I think if there was the possibility of someone kicking your ass for pulling one of these lame-ass stunts, neither your nor Waisz would be dumb enough to try it. At least not more than once.

I think you're on to something. I touched on this the last time Waisz decided to poke his head up from whatever, but I honestly think that you could make the case that Waisz is in fact a sociopath, and the only thing keeping him in line IRL is rule of law. He doesn't obey the law out of civic duty or for any esoteric reason, as most of us do; he obeys the law because he will be punished if he breaks it severely or repeatedly enough. But it's not as if he's unique or even rare in this issue; I read an article a little while ago that states up to 4% of the population is sociopathic, and the only thing keeping them in line is fear of punishment.
It's just one of those things. I've talked with Waisz at length, and he's generally an alright guy. I don't think he would hurt his RL friends, or his parents, because the harm inflicted is something tangible. But if there aren't any tangible consequences, I don't think that he could be stopped from enjoying himself, because he doesn't feel he's doing anything wrong.

Visine doesn't give you the shits.
It does severely depress your central nervous system but it'd take a whole bottle to do that to an adult.

Tell ya what there, buzzcut, if you seriously think you're being overly persecuted because of this, I'll make ya a little deal.
You post your real name and address here and I'll see if me and maybe a couple of other ECers can't swing by your house and we'll just totally crap all over something you enjoy. I'm sure we'll (but not you) think it's totally funny.
Then, afterwards, when you're looking into the big, smoking crater that used to be something you liked, you can tell us how it's really no big thing, because all that mattered was that we laughed about it, not anything piddly like YOUR feelings.
'cause we sure don't give a ratfuck about those.

Since you compared your prank to other pranks, I think this is a better example: Essentially, you went into a public bathroom and wiped your feces all over the toilet seats. No one could really use the toilets for a while until the janitors cleaned all your shit up.
To further the comparison, you successfully managed to piss off anyone who may have wanted to use the restroom that day, may have needed to use it, and likely really pissed off the janitors, who actually had to go in and clean up your mess.
It may be funny to you, but just like any other nasty prank, you can't honestly expect your victim(s) to laugh when they've just had to deal with your crap.
I mean, what the hell did you expect to happen after you pulled something like this? We'd all go "HUR HUR THAT WAS AWESOME!!1ONE" and you'd get a pat on the back? Fuck no. Go try it somewhere else and see what happens.

I am a little annoyed. Mostly by the fact that no one noticed the threads titled DO NOT CLICK and went ahead and got autobanned.
Aaand I did find humor in the fact that so many people fell for it. People who don't even post here anymore got caught by it. Willias fucked around with this message on 03-02-2008 at 10:32 PM.
