Does ze actually know that there's a difference between hitting "enter" as a line-break kind of doohicky, and hitting "post"?

Cos if not, then it's a simple solution to teach hir. (Seems unlikely, mind...)

If so, then it's spamming.

That was an easy one.

He's the i-piss-artist formerly known as Modzero, y'mean...

Reckon? Could be, aye.

That boy was a piss artist.

Really? The style's a bit different, isn't it?

Yeah, I'm confusing with Alpha Beth. Sorry.

Ah, right. No, I think the Alpha Beth suit got locked.

Ze's not the god-dog/mod-dog/modzero, IMHO, but a problem of similar scale.

I'm here to ask for help because I can't get perspective on it, ze's irritating the shit out of me so badly I want to ban them and then burn down their house and release the hounds. Then sow salt into the earth and destroy all records of Anth and hir works. Then burn down the internet and put out my own eyes and teach the children never to speak of it again.

As I say, no perspective. Consider me in the hawk camp, and please someone more level headed deal with hir. Hopefully no banning will be necessary, but this doesn't bode well-

...fine, report me for trying to initiate a discussion and stirring up controversy. the place will be lesser without me but i shall move on if that be the will of those above.

Are we those above? Is that our will? Will the place be lesser without Anth? How will we have any controversy without Anth to stir us up, like Socrates, a horsefly on the body politic?

I say move on. Go into the light, dude.

Now I've sorted out the Anth/Alpha Beth confusion, I seem to remember the former previously posting fairly strong opinions on the various psychiatric illness threads...

I'm currently attempting to make a silk purse from a sow's ear that Anth's given us in Switchboard... we'll see how that one goes.

Happy turd-polishing, Stoatie.

Is it crazy to suggest that a moderator take Anth's multiple posts, copy them all into the first one, delete the repetitions created by the movement and see what happens?
 
 
Quantum
23:58 / 13.05.06
Done, with a note what's happened. Anth will be subject to heavy moderation unless things change- I'm just unwilling to have to mod four times for every Anth post, we were hoping he might get the message and stoppit.

Just came over from that thread. I initiated several actions to remove his rubbish multiple posts. Hopefully that will get the message across. If he does it again, I'd be happy supporting a ban.

Quantum - you may want to reconsider your "Burn the house and salt the earth" policy, especially considering that Anth cannot be killed by conventional means, after all.

Sorry, snark over, but that post irritated me a little...

Is Anth perhaps psychotic at the moment? Manic episode?

I dunno about psychotic. This sounds a lot like the standard-issue plastic adept syndrome we've grown all to familiar with.
 
 
Ganesh
08:31 / 14.05.06
Okay. The former preoccupation with psychiatric issues and current six-posts-in-a-row habit made me wonder about a psychotic episode, possibly a manic one - but you guys know Anth's previous style better than I do.
 
 
illmatic
08:34 / 14.05.06
His style has always been very one line and mininal. I think he refered to being drunk when posting. Manic episodes seem a distinct possibility.
 
 
Ganesh
08:39 / 14.05.06
All of which wouldn't necessarily mean he should be treated more leniently (it's not Barbelith's job to be trollshrink) but it might indicate that the current posting style will pass. I suggest that, in the meantime, we avoid using illness terms ("psycho"/"schizo"/"loonie"/"nutter") to express our irritation.

(Actually, we should be using those terms extremely advisedly anyway, if at all.)

Anth has been on the board for almost a year without causing any real problems; I'm hoping that whatever's brought on this attack of I've-crossed-the-Abyss-itis (be it too much Marylin Manson or something more serious) will pass in time.

It's just that after a few years you get really really sick of tired of this sort of thing, you know? Ipsissimuses, Antichrists, self-appointed waker-upperers...
 
 
Ganesh

Sure. Laila springs to mind as a point of comparison.

Just to say, several posts by Anth in the Magic and Madness (Temple) thread (otherwise going nowhere) if mods are collating his posts. Don't know what that adds to the focus on psychiatric issues speculation.

The Switchboard thread seems quite shiny now, for a jobby.

Indeed. Nice job(by).

A charming new poster, Andrew Cooke, has decided to throw abuse at elene, here. How do people think we should deal and react to this?

I've posted in thread to tell this guy that personal attacks of that kind, especially when gender slurs are used, are not okay here. I'm disgusted, frankly.

That really did come out of the blue, didn't it.

I know nothing about the poster, but will be not terribly disposed to show latitude were anything similar to ever happen again.


Or, for that matter, had happened before.

Oh, to answer LA's question -- I think what's in the thread is enough for now.

morpheus is back, in the bdth2 thread.

I don't think we ever got to that point did we? After all, Morph did keep disappearing. Now we discover that he was doing so to fight cars because he thought he was Bruce Willis.

it seems the homosexuals who are responsible for those stupid mock mochian hairstyle hip hugging trousers - for guys
and that disgusting dirty stone wash look that look like rust mixed with urine have a monoply on everything here.


What does this even mean?

I've pm'd 33 about the post.

I pm'd him as well and am trying to get him on board. I happened to strike up some conversation with him after helping him get an email problem resolved with his barbelith application, so I'm hoping that a somewhat more familiar voice can make this a bit less painful for everyone.
