War Room OT Discussion v3

[irish_thug]

You're speaking my language right here. Throw in some Circle Jerks, D.I. Subhumans, Adolescents, Descendents, G.B.H., D.R.I., Suicidal, etc.

Fuck yeah. I've got half of those in my car right now.

The Detroit casino district isn't all that bad. Actually thought the MGM would be a joke here but it's pretty good. Compared to Caesars Windsor it's way more fun. Canada is such a nanny state when it comes to fun and enjoyment

I fuckin love Napoleon. He is seriously one of my heroes. Charles Manson died recently and I saw some interviews with him barking about how society has tried to kill him for so many years and he is still living. Acting like he won something. lol. You fuckin coward. To claim victory over being a rat in a cage. He dies everyday.

"Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily."

"To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god."

-Napoleon. Now I know why Hegel liked this guy so much. He said Napoleon was the world spirit on horseback.

"I saw the Emperor – this world-spirit – riding out of the city on reconnaissance. It is indeed a wonderful sensation to see such an individual, who, concentrated here at a single point, astride a horse, reaches out over the world and masters it ... this extraordinary man, whom it is impossible not to admire."

-Hegel

Canada is such a nanny state when it comes to everything.

weird that people are compelled to do that; weirder still that they can do it well and for extended periods of time

I think Jack and others called out that account for now being a woman. I guess the good bye thread still used a girl name but it's kinda assumed that it's a dude doing that

yeah, Jack did call it a troll account from the get, he's uncanny like that. Dude vs. dudette isn't an issue for me. I could see people adopting different genders/ locations for anonymity, but to adopt an entire persona/ ideology is bizzaro.

Part of the gimmick though was being a feminist I think.

Yea, I agree it's weird. Kinda like the pro-wrestling world where everything is fake but its real in it's own way or at least demanded to be perceived as real with the gimmicks.

I reported the shit out of all those trolls, and infuriated them as part of the committee during the Worst Poster in the War Room thread. I also triggered them all into Bolivian with the original Ford Dog gif. So much so, they it was removed from the site.

Basically, you abused the Ford hot dog gif so much that they had to remove it.

A large group of them were literally colluding via PM to disrupt the forum, and target certain mods and posters. They were all banned, and then like another half a dozen or so other posters self banned in solidarity/mutual triggering. Including Ripskater.

Vote Thompson!!!

So they were playing backroom politics, and instead of playing the game, you went to Crave?

That person posted their feet. It was weird.

kayfabe. It is a weird world of trolls here, I agree.

It will always happen, though. That's the nature of the beast. When you start reporting everyone and go to the higher ups like Crave, it escalates so much that they threaten to shut down the entire subsection.

I think the gimmick was female conservative. I don't think there was anything explicitly feminist in @ehtheists posting.

Didn't he/she post about having a european vacation with their BF in Mayberry?

Yeah: TheStruggle, KlnOmega, Pwent, RhinoRush, SensaiRambo, KONE; then similar, but not identical: WiolentOne, Ripskater, lecter(who I mostly liked), BruceLeeOnTRT.

It was a mess in here for awhile.

Essentially anyone with a different opinion.

I found them all annoying, myself. But would I go out of my way to make sure they didn't post? Surely there should be *some* balance here. Not all of them were trolls: TheStruggle, a fellow PWD member, had actual opinions. I didn't agree with them, but they weren't trollish. He just mass-posted threads with an agenda.

There is the ignore function, as well.

Though to be honest, I would love to know whether rip was a true troll or not.

Maybe it was my interaction but there were complaints that the forum allowed for sexism. Could've just been an attempt to get other posters in trouble. Not sure.

TheStruggle, Kln, and Wiolent (and possibly RhinoRush, though he managed to catch a ban a few days earlier) were all part of the group with Pwent we've discussed earlier. I think you can agree that coordinating to derail threads and to harass users and staff members (and submit false reports to crave) can be reasonably construed as violating the "rules." I believe that there were subforums where they contributed meaningfully and did not simply troll (i interacted with some in the heavies and videogame forum), but it's not really disputable that they were fucking and were banned for it.

Kone was banned months ago after he ignored multiple warnings to stop referring to the woman who was run over in charlottesville as a terrorist (or similar terms). Not doing that is in the rules.

Ripskater and BLT selfbanned after one (1) reply ban, which they received after multiple warnings to stop posting disinformation into a thread about a then-ongoing shooting (there was an alternate thread to post that sort of thing in).

Lecter simply hasn't posted in a while, though it is connected to the aforementioned bannination. I suspect he also was having less fun, since his gimmick when he was trolling was basically satirizing TheStruggle style posters with some very subtle insults.

I'd like to know that too re: rip. I suspect that he had underlying sincerely held beliefs, but also liked to ham them up and embellish them for his posts.

Most of these bans were closely connected to threads I had created+was active in, or I would not be as aware of them.

Maybe it was my interaction but there were complaints that the forum allowed for sexism. Could've just been an attempt to get other posters in trouble. Not sure.

Her falsedawn comment was almost certainly a reference to the thread in which she ultimately called him a "spearchucker." She had spent the previous few pages accusing him of being a misogynist and trying to bait him, and eventually lost her temper when he just responded with requests for misogynistic comments he had made, rather than engage her "well i'm a woman so you have to trust me on your misogyny" argument.

She also had a few posts early on bragging about pretending to be a black woman on facebook for the express purpose of starting arguments in feminist facebook groups and then calling people racist. (JVS called my attention to those). Later, she made a few references to Nietzche in connection with feminism about undermining a position by pretending to support it (badly). I wouldn't be remotely surprised by the latter.
