BAN ME

I tried asking Coates awhile back to ban me, but he never did, saying it was too much work and that my reasons for wanting to be banned were not valid. Therefore I must appeal to the entire community to petition the administration here to delete the Sypha account off Barbelith. I simply do not fit into this mechanism, my presence here is an irritation, and my actions in the Temple could be considered trollish, so I think these are valid reasons.

Asking to be banned is unnecessarily histrionic. Take responsibility for your own actions, and simply stop posting.

No, when it comes to posting, I have an, um, impulsive personality, so, uh, really, like, um, it's the only solution.

WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK

Impulsively throw your modem at the wall?

Or you could close your eyes and change your password to a random mish-mash of letters.

Not that I'm saying you should. But if you're set on the idea, and not just saying it to get a response, there are plenty of irreversible ways to do it without inconveniencing others.

Impulsively grow up and stop seeking attention?

We don't ban people on Barbelith unless we have to. "I'm seven" is not a good enough reason. If you don't feel able not to post, what you can do is go to your profile page, select your password, close your eyes and type in a long string of random keypresses. Then log out and clear your coookies. Voila! Instant redemption.

It's not the "only solution", because clearly you could impulsively re-register. The only solution is for you to develop a sense of responsibility for yourself and stop attempting to commit the online equivalent of the worst, most passive-aggressive parasuicide. Tom is quite right not to collude with you in this. Stop posting or don't stop posting; it's no-one else's responsibility, and you can't make it so.

And don't pull the "I've got a personality disorder" schtick, please. Just grow the fuck up.

Asking to be banned? Why are you doing that? That makes no sense.

I'm not really a racist or homophobic, but would posting stuff like that get me banned?

It would be passed on to the police and to your family.

Ganesh makes one mistake. You would not be able to impulsively re-register. Re-registering would take some time and would depend on your ability to convince us that you were not Sypha Nadon, in which I have very little faith. So, do the password change, and it will be as if Barbelith never existed for you...

Bye then. I weep tears of blood at the loss of a petulant poster, how will we find a replacement gimp? I personally had no problem with Sypha until about ten minutes ago, then the problem was immediately resolved. Sweet!

Syph. If you want huggles because you're upset that no one liked your endorsement of solipsism, why don't you just post here and say "I need huggles because no one liked my endorsement of solipsism?" It's actually more mature and less likely, in my opinion, to annoy people. It is difficult, but not impossible, to maturely request a huggle. I'm sure you're up to the challenge.

Now, from someone who has occasionally felt sad at Barbelith because no one liked my endorsement of X thing I was really excited about at the time— have a huggle. It happens to everybody; just take a deep breath and let it go, lurk for awhile, and then post about something else.

It's more of a posh wank than a moist fuck.

Wank indeed. Best not to ask; that only serves to encourage 'em.

Changing your password to something random won't work, because you can just ask for it to be emailed to you. So yes, just stop posting, take responsibility for yourself.

Can one not delete one's email address from one's profile, though, or replace it with a fake one? I'm not gooing to try this, obvs...
 
 
Ganesh
17:23 / 10.08.05
One could do the same password-scrambly thing with the email address connected to one's Barbelith password.

Or one could simply get off the nipple and attempt to progress beyond the paranoid-schizoid position.

He's gone (did the password-thingy), so the thread can die quietly, now.

Did you mean to write 'thread' there Boboss, and not some other word?

Not much. Sypha Nadon just became so self-important that his ego exploded. Arse. Not with a bang, either, but a whimper.

I'm sure it was an epic whimper.

Just another day on Barbelith.

This is the first time I have ever seen someone beg us to put their fiction-suit to sleep. The problem is that if the US Congress would have gotten wind of that, they would have sent protesters to keep the fic-suit on life support until the Pope intervenes.

From Ganesh's article:

The bad breast is then hated and in phantasy it is attacked.

I know this is a serious line and all, but it just makes me start giggling every time I see it.
