i think that link points to something else?
Hehe brilliant, and flattering to be compared to Zappa (been a while since I'd seen footage of him, forgot just how excellent a human being he was).
At least, I hope to all fuck you were comparing me to Zappa and Curt to the other guy, and not the other way around.
Though there's also a bit of a disconnect in comparing Curt to a religious fundamentalist; but not as much as one would think. Its funny how in the extremes of the right and the left wing both groups start to think very much alike, in the idea that we must be protected from ourselves, it may be different things they want to protect us from (pornography vs. sugar, sex vs. smoking, dangerous books vs. jaywalking or not wearing seatbelts, etc etc) but the sentiment is precisely the same. Which is why guys like Curt can look like such hypocrites when someone suggests that say, decency laws should apply to gay pride marches, and he jumps up in arms about "censorship" even while he's advocating that guys who criticize Rebecca Borgstrom as a B-grade author need to be permabanned. He doesn't seem to get that the two are the same thing.

Fixed that for ya.
...I didn´t write the above quote.
I got kicked from RPGNet, cause I said borgstrom was a c-grade would be novelist. You are confusing me with AnimalBrasky and making up quotes. Which is either a humor I can´t understand, or just plain impolite.

The "fixed it for you" humor is not for everybody. When it's done well, the change is minor, and turns what was said into an amusing statement that the quoter imagines the quotee was really thinking, or they change it from something false to what they think is true. This time, the quoter changed your entire post, instead of just a couple funny details, and I consider it a good example of a FAILED "fixed it for you" joke.
It's being overused on NTL, and seems to be spilling over into NKL...
Especially as it is untrue. he could make fun of me for being angry about being banned. But I never did what was insinuated above. And stating untrue stuff is not funny. It´s just a lie. I did come back as a socket puppet, but neither did troll, nor did I violate any rules. I just advertised an Interview on my blog.

Neither are personal attacks, which is the purpose of this thread, 'innit?

I apologise for confusing you with somebody else, but sock puppeting is an obviously justified reason to get spanked by RPG.net, especially since that act's entire purpose is to circumvent suspension.
My first ban was not about puppeteering. I don´t care for the permaban. The first ban was the laughable thing. Why would comparing Curt to a Washington Post Journalist constitute a PA?

Take Eyebeamz' word for it; he knows a thing or two about getting permabanned from RPG.net himself.

I blame it all on Wrath of the Spaceport.

"You got me there"
Seriously, I never posted bigtime on RPGNet. i´m just a concerned customer who spoke up too loudly about freedom of speech. Thus I stepped on several feet, unknowingly. I confess: the pundits praise brought me here.

Perma-Banned for voicing an opinion?
Your thoughts would be better served at the aforementioned RPG.net forum, as would your crass ill-attempt at a letter

I'm sure your banning has to do with bravely voicing an opinion in the face of stern opposition, and has nothing to do with taking the internet to seriously and being a humorless prig.
:boohoo:
Quotewith taking the internet to seriously and being a humorless
Well the RPGNet Mods take it too seriously. They don´t understand/like humor.
See, I got banned for disrespecting Borgstroms c-class drivel. I don´t see no "high-road", or taking stuff seriously on my side with that.
And the two guys that got banned for an April´s Fool?
Or AnimalBrasky?
I don´t see any humour on the Mod side there. Maybe in your universe, they are the cuddliest, wisest and coolest. So be it.But they never showed humour in their rulings.
Thanks for the original link I'ld not seen that before.

Oh, RPGnet's moderation is pretty much random and arbitrary. Can't argue that.
C'mon, if I want to read humorous axe grinding over RPGnet, I read the Pundit, which I do every day.
Here, I expect epic battles over the impact and value of Burning Wheel!
Let's go folks, time to develop an intractable opinion! I wanna see flashing blades and blood!
Quote from: MaddmanOh, RPGnet's moderation is pretty much random and arbitrary. Can't argue that.
That's true, but I've never had any problems with it -- and I've expressed some relatively unpopular political views over there in Tangency.
Most of my conversations at RPGnet about games that I like -- WFRP, C&C, True20, Angel/Buffy, etc. -- have been very constructive and helpful. The place also has its share of vehement d20 defenders, so I've never understood the claim that there is a general 'anti-d20 ethos' permeating the place. (Though never: (a.) criticise Exalted; and (b.) compare the merits of JRRR Tolkien versus RE Howard. The results are invariably ugly. Ugh!)
I guess I've just been fortunate in missing all the heavy-handed censorship there?
:confused:
Quote from: AkrasiaThat's true, but I've never had any problems with it -- and I've expressed some relatively unpopular political views over there in Tangency.
Me neither. I have a sneaking suspician that 'disrespecting Borgstrom's drivel' was seen as a personal attack on Rebecca, who is indeed a poster there. And is forbidden. Luckily, we have no such rule here. :p
Do we have any rules?
Why, it does seem we do..
Quote from: The CharterSpeak your mind here, without fear! Our administrators and moderators (also known as "Nutkins") aren't in the business of censoring what other people have to say. They will let you have total freedom to be yourself, but people who are consistently looking to start trouble while contributing nothing to the community will suffer the consequences. If you personally don't like a thread, then don't read it.
Starting a thread expressly for the purpose of making a personal attack is really playing with the part I bolded. Of course, the Nutkins and I are looking for trends of bad behavior, not necessarily isolated instances. When consequences come I promise you they will be unique and fun. Banning? There are more fun things to do :heh:
Hey, where is the PA in this thread?
Curt does believe in "strong state" policies, so that the mods censor for the greater good. I don´t see any disrespect in comparing a person to a Washington Post journalist.
Especially as the videoclip is not biased or a purposeful lampoonation (neologism?) of the said journalist.
I might despise this line of thinking, but that doesn´t change the original unchanged and unbiased nature of the vid.
Ahem.
We have no intention of moderating much. But if a Nutkin says you are engaging in a personal attack and to watch your step, IT IS TRUTH. This is not a democracy. You don't get to decide what is what. Mind your manners or you may wake up in a whorehouse in Slovakia with no pants on and your cock painted green.

Well, wasn´t this to be the Daily Show of RPG Fora?
I´m seriously puzzled.
The daily show does stuff like this, don´t they? Showing clips and present them in another context.
