This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Would Eric Brennan be insta-banned here?

So I was chatting with Eric Brennan on Facebook as he was discussing getting a red-text, and he joked about setting up an account here as a means of venting. When I established that he was joking, he said that he'd certainly be banned here almost instantly. I told him I doubted that was the case... but what would his reception here be like?

Who the hell is Eric Brennan?

I'd rather have less people here posting just to vent on TBP, but I don't think he'd be banned for that alone.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Unless he plans on revealing Pundy's real name, why would he get banned?

Fuckers are so dramatic about this place.

One Horse Town

Are you talking about Future Villain Band or that other Brennan bloke.

I think there's 2 of them.

Either way, of course he wouldn't be insta-banned. Whether he could stand the heat in the kitchen is the more likely question.

Someone ought to poke brett (or whoever is doing the most code work) to put a button playing this tune on this site:

He's a former RPGnet Admin.

FVB then.

Well, he might run into people here who were subjected to his stupid peanut-gallery banning notices - but, as you know, if you can put up your fists and defend yourself at all times, the ref doesn't stop the fight.

From what has been said so far, sounds like a NOBODY to me in the gaming community.  They are a dime a dozen...

Of course he wouldn't be insta-banned here. We're better than he is.

Ron Edwards wouldn't be insta-banned here.

Getting banned here is hard work.  You'd basically have to post gorn to get Pundit's attention.  Or troll him and then threaten to reveal his True Name.

An epic showdown that would be.
Quote from: Black Vulmea;530561Y\'know, I\'ve learned something from this thread. Both B.T. and Koltar are idiots, but whereas B.T. possesses a malign intelligence, Koltar is just a drooling fuckwit.

So, that\'s something, I guess.

Imperator

He wouldn't be banned, I'm sure of that. Now, it probably would be extra-hard for him to have a discussion about anything without a bunch of crybabies jumping on his throat because they're still angry at RPG.net.
