A Toast to Banned and Disappeared Posters

[elfismiles]

Meant to mention this a while back but I spoke with 8bit by phone briefly back in January and he was doing well, though I think he had some teeth pain or throat soreness at the time.

I mentioned that folks were asking about him so he knows there's love here for him.

I'll try and call him again sooner rather than later.

I know that.

You are simply invisible.

I did make a shout out to the invisibles once, but only the Elf that Smiles* replied. I guess if I had been King Mob, I might have gotten somewhere.

Anyway, good luck with the nappies OP ED! Love and harm none! Plumb the mysteries of Life itself!

I'm still hoping 8bitagent is good. Man, that guy was a savant. No wonder he was getting synch overload.

And I pray the Gnomad will never leave, he's one smart cookie too. Best laugh ever, that paranoia T shirts photo.

A toast. To the recently banned "Eyeno".



Whew!

A toast. To the recently banned "Eyeno".

I know he was recently suspended, but what did he do to get banned and cause brainpanhandler to make a rare quintuple post?

The quintuple post was a combination of sick-to-death-of-it and a few too many vodka tonics, more the former than the latter, though the latter played no small part. To answer your question I refer you to this thread.

And btw, you have my favorite avatar on the board.

Agree. Every single time I get to the end of one of jingofever's posts, I finish reading and then make sure to let his avatar give me the blank stare for at least a three-count.

jeez.... .......can't some-one put that fucking thread out of its ( our) misery




......oh...its been locked...2 pages too late by the looks of it....

[Simulist]

Alas, poor Eyeno! We knew thee well — under more than one of your different guises.

I'm so glad now I never entered that thread. The first couple pages bored the hell out of me, so I ignored it, until the very end, when trying to see how Eyeno got banned, I figured it must have been in that thread, and sure enough. Yikes.

Hope we haven't lost Alice. She's one of the main reasons I love this place. I don't know anyone else like her, anywhere.

Same here, both counts. I'd like to add that this is the second banned poster to have landed on my personal ignore list first. And that list is very small.

Alice is really special to me too... I've read her posts to the ladies and students I volunteer with, some of whom first learned about the Egyptian Revolution through me. (that's sad.) It doesn't seem that someone who is so talented and who has such an important message will stop writing. I wrote her a note asking her to let me know where she moves to.

It was a provocative OP, perhaps a conversation that needed to be had. I think I read most of it but lost interest toward the end when it seemed everyone had said all they could say about it. I thought Alice and a couple of others expressed their differing views very well. I hope she returns.

Then there was Eyeno, treading water in choppy seas, grasping for one floating turd to hang onto, then another, and another. It was interesting to see what bubbled up as the last passing turd sank under the weight of his own crap.


(Apologies, but there just isn't a better metaphor.)

I'm not so sure it's a conversation that needed to be had on the internet. In person things are different; there are eyes to look into, there is body language. There is no true meeting of the minds online, understanding requires physical presence. That's how I feel about it. I could see it was going to end badly many pages before the spectacular crash n burn. Feelings were going to get hurt. And so they did.

And I know that everyone has a different take on the conversation, but it really upset me, especially the "anti-atzmon" folks. I would not want any of them on my side in an argument, that's for sure. Ironically enough, since the argument was (initially) about whether or not atzmon should be on "team Palestine" or whatever. But so what, who the hell am I, anyway? Just another idiot on the internet with an opinion. The whole thing was just kind of disheartening and disappointing all around for me. Hopefully if something like that happens again, it can be cut off quicker. Maybe then I would feel that something positive came from this situation.

Sorry to go so far off topic, it all just came tumbling out. Cheers to disappeared posters and whatnot.
