Shadowsax, there are real reasons why people get pissed off by this type of antic. I think you need to realise the thought process behind people being unwilling to except the guy's fictionsuit, mainly becuase of the degree of poor taste.

Would it be ok to laugh at people doing Nazi salutes in a concerntration camp? And why do people always fall back to the irony defence when they're caught behaving like an ass? Would it be ok with Shadowsax if we all made rascist jokes instead, of course with our toungues lodged firmly in our cheeks. Because thats, like, ironic. So irony makes this ok. riiiiiight

And have some respect for your other posters. You c**t.

We're also encouraged to challenge this kind of behaviour. Otherwise they just flood the boards with their swill.

Desperate Math, Please edit your last post. The insult is unsuitable.

Shadowsax, I flatter myself but I doubt you'd find a 'chick' like me boring.

Oh, no! Not "chick!" Anything but "chick!" How can I come back from that devastating blow? Guess I'd just better go and sit in the kitchen and eat Ben & Jerry's or something while my mascara runs.

I gotta agree that this forum is the LAST place to try some psuedo ironic, quasi clever jab at offensive topics name swapping. If you really wanted to have a Keeee-razy! name that showed how much of a rebel you are why didn't you get a LiveJournal like everyone else?

Carnival - I don't think it was talking about you with the lady comment. I thought it was aimed at Our Lady, which made me giggle, because ze's a bearded 'chick'. Now then, howsabout we stop throwing petrol on the fire for the little pyromaniac in the corner?

i'm going to change my name to "sensitive killer" and get three friends to call themselves "sensitive thief", "sensitive chick who has sex with her brother", and "sensitive coke dealer", and then see how long it takes for people to create pages of objections to names while ignoring actual comments written by those names

And I am gonna change my name to "rapist killer"; or "sadistic lover", or "sensitive shadowsax", or "sensitive mysoginistic troll", or (and check ou the irony in this one) "selfraping a-sexual entity". See how witty am I?


Nah, maybe I'll just stick to my own self-congratulating 1980s' cartoon-referencing name.

[transform from joke!!!!!1 mode to serious mode]

People, I really think we should let this thread die out. I doubt the sensitive whatever guy is paying any attention, or if he does, he already got more than enough exemples as to why he should change his screen-name. And Shadowsax is growing more powerfull with every angry post we send his way. Like a garbage collector

I don't think I can agree on letting this thread die out, DM, although it has been derailed.

I'd just like to post to say that I find SR's name offensive. I really do, for many of the reasons outlined above, and because it shows a lack of common courtesy for every single person who posts here and the many more who "just" read the boards.

I wasn't going to say anything, because I'm "new around these parts", but I reasoned that without registering my views, what right do I have to complain (if any)?

Anyway. On topic; please change your name, SR. If you have any respect for any of the posters or readers here, then it would be the good thing to do.

Again, just registering views. User 2031, Tom has offered you a name change and many -I think by now an 'overwhelming' -number of people want you (as I do) to take that offer up.

Hey I lost the link to policy thread where it is explained why we need not only a resident sad little shit, but a backup sad little shit as well.

Anybody got that link?

Change your name, Z.

It's thoughtless and rude, which would make it a problem even if it was funny, which it isn't.

Change your name.

18:11 / 08.03.06
Little to add, other than my "overwhelming" support of the suggestion, SR, that you change your name. The longer you ignore people on this, the more it starts to look like you're not merely unexamined but actively trolling.

I think this guy has already had more attention and more courtesy than he deserves. He opened this thread by noting that he hadn't even bothered to read the messages about his name. Look at the energy creative and intelligent people have put into complaining and explaining, compared to the SR's reaction, sitting back on his hands from motives we can't guess - indifference, laziness, smug satisfaction? anyway, it doesn't smack of giving a fuck.

I don't think someone who has pretty much shown themselves uninterested in learning or changing deserves all these people attempting to chastise or educate him. If he got a new name, would you really want him chatting to you about comics anyway?

Maybe chatting in Comics is all he's good for.
 
 
miss wonderstarr
18:31 / 08.03.06
I'm not sure I want Comics to be considered lower down the hierarchy than Conversation...

Ha! Point.

In fairness, he may simply not have checked back, miss w.

I mean he took about two days to register that people were pissed about the suit, during which he didn't post, I think. However, I'm not overly inclined to discuss comics with him again anyway; he's the only person ever to dislike DKR, so I doubt you'd be interested.
 
 
miss wonderstarr
18:44 / 08.03.06
Oh, so there is a hierarchy, with Comics below Conversation, and Conversation (judging from recent complaints about threads being "demoted" to it) below some other Barbelith boards. I don't think that should be the case, but perhaps the people posting on Comics make it (seem) that way. You're right, it's not something I can do anything about except by trying to lift the quality of the Comics forum. Anyway, that's not really relevant here, though I was surprised by your comment.

More relevantly: I am really getting sick of seeing the words "Sensitive Rapist" at the top of the forum, and if he isn't going to change it, and if he isn't going to be banned, then I would like to request that the name be changed anyway so people who are upset or offended by that name don't have to keep reading it while the thread remains active and hence at the top of the board.

I'm sure "I request" doesn't always get either. But sometimes it does, especially if others also request. And to recall another truism, if you don't ask you don't get, either.

If the mods could change it, it'd've been changed by now. You could PM Tom Coates but everybody else probably already has.

Has he actually been repeatedly posting elsewhere since starting this thread? Tom is also out of the country and busy doing stuff, SR may willing to change his name but waiting for Tom to become available again. Short of SR coming back and insisting he's done nothing wrong I suggest that we back off for now and wait to see what happens.

Perhaps you would prefer "Insensitve Jackass"? It seems much more suited to you.

Change your name, Z..

I haven't the time to read nor respond to 123 posts for at least few days. But after reading twenty or so I see that our emic realities are not in agreement over anything neither is anyone interested in leaving their rigid reality tunnels to understand what the point really is. Perhaps posting late at night after exhaustion wasn't the best idea but I wonder how much difference that possibly could have made since this thread was simply a long sought opportunity for a congress of pathetic individuals to sharpen their wits and vent over some bloke's nickname.

I simply have the nickname that is insensitive.

Some of you have more serious delusions of sensitivty and rationality. Congratulations on your performance.

I'm still sorry to hurt anyone's feelings who wasn't a bit of a twat in this thread. Whether you would like to believe that is your privilidge.

But I dont think my apology was considered anyway. I thought I'd message Tom at my earliest oppurtunity for a nickname change when I returned. And now I think that won't be necessary. I'm a bit too busy these days for an internet forum anyway.

Cheers.

So, everyone else is wrong, you are right and rather than confront your own stupidity you are storming off? Fair enough. We'll ask Tom to change the name of your suit and delete your login. Have fun with the real live tiger.

Dude.

Well over one hundred posts of no-one agreeing with you.

The fact that this doesn't tell you some important things beggars belief.

Wow.

Just... wow. And it was posted by a guy calling himself Sensitive R**ist!!!

That's like a wanker Perfect Ten. I mean, we've had some wankers in our time but damn.

I must confess I don't understand this guy. Or the things he says in hisposts (emic reality? rigid reality tunnels?). Or his dislike for DKR. Are you sure he's even a real person, not a computer virus going self-aware? No much self-aware, though
