Have I become an evil fascist?

Quote from: Aos;229380I'd like to be able to ignore the Pundit. Such was not always the case, but now it would just make the scrolling easier.

Piss him off enough, and start a thread about Dominus Nox. He'll hide from you for six months or so. You'll have to deal with an outburst of childishness, possibly involving him dragging you into his forced feminization fetish, but the end result is a Pundit Free posting zone until he can't stand the lack of attention and crawls back out of the woodwork.

Did he put you on force ignore?

Yep. Well, first he changed my avatar to a picture of a girl, but relented when everyone pointed out he was being an uber douchebag, and possibly sexist. He contemplated taking the passive aggressive coward's way out by using the forum software to scramble all of my posts, but again relented to the cries of the more intelligent members of the board (i.e. almost everyone).

He finally settled on making it so I couldn't see his posts.

Wow. Feel my envy.

According to JLope only girls do these kinds of things.

Wait, the pundit's a guy?

I actually thought for a while he might be a woman, since the persona is (or was) so overblown.

But he's a guy. Or a chick who needs a shave.

I got overblown once, man I was sore for days.

You were really sure of the gender that time I hope.

As sure as one could be about such things during the 1980's, anyway.

I like to think I don't know what you mean by this. Perhaps you could explain it in a way which I would understand better.

Since the character "RPGpundit" goes on at great length about being the big-dog, alpha male, smoking pipes, blah blah blah, I thought it was conceivable that it was a woman writing the character.

For example, Mary Walsh (Canadian comedian) plays a character called "Dakey Dunn":

QuoteA 22 Minutes "Male Correspondent" played by Mary Walsh, replete with gold chain, hairy chest, cigarette and beer, who regularly lays out a macho view of economic and cultural matters. This character was earlier used in the CODCO series. Dakey also once accosted Margaret Atwood at a book signing, reciting one of her most famous poems over and over again.

Mary Walsh often does the Ali G / Borat thing and shows up at press conferences in character to talk to politicians, authors, celebs, etc. One of her other characters is "Marg Warrior Princess" who you can see talking to the Prime Minister here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CptXVdqprE

However, the guy who writes RPGpundit is relatively easy to find online, and he is a guy. In his photo he has a beard (and glasses).

Ah, a matter of over-compensation for a lack of perceived masculine attributes. No, I think RPGPundit does that for reasons having nothing to do with his gender.

Ok, Stuart. You've gotten to the level of cyber-stalking here. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but between you posting on multiple threads suggesting that people could try to shut this site down if they wanted to, and your now suggesting that you have personal details about me, I am done being generous.

You get one warning, this is it. You've been warned.
I would strongly suggest you stay out of both off-topic and the "Help" forum, or at least on the former avoid talking about anything related to either this site or me.
Failure to do this WILL result in people having a whole new (and equally stupid) reason to accuse me of being a fascist.

I, for one, can hardly wait.
