ConcreteJungle, anyone?

Post by Jeff »

Has anyone seen any red flags raised over this character?

I ask, because I received this:
ConcreteJungle wrote:Hi Jeff,

I was wondering if you could unban an ip for me.

Let me know the options please.

Chris
To which I replied:
Jeff wrote:Hi Chris,

That depends on why the ip was banned. Were you using it under another username?

Jeff
And I have just received:
ConcreteJungle wrote:You have ip logs, I'm sure you are intelligent enough to figure out who I am. I have done nothing but be transparent about my actions and feelings, I'm sorry you feel that is reason to ban me. If I FELT I was truly doing something wrong I wouldn't have stated who I was in the past and I wouldn't have come back on here to TRY and make amends with some posters. Honestly do what you must, but I think it was all blown out of proportion, especially since when it was banned there was a lot of controversy going on with the misogyny thread.


Like I've told you before, do what you feel you must to keep your board running, but I implore you to look at a recent thread that has also gotten out of control and look at the common denominator in the instances, you might be surprised.
Our ip logs aren't so great, and I'm not that smart, but it's evident to me from the above exchange that this is, again, WakeUpandLive. Is there consensus that he should remain banned?

Geeze, the dude has serious impulse control issues. What, is he tired of posting through a proxy? I don't get why he'd want an ip unbanned. but I can't imagine this is a healthy situation, and I also can't imagine that you'd get a positive response to a reinstatement from Canadian Watcher.

I'm loathe to give tips to our trolls, but really, the first rule of flying under the radar is to not say Yo, radar: a little help here!

Banning. Because he asked for it.

Really, really bad boundaries. I don't advocate for lifting the ban, that's for sure. Just my two bits.

ConcreteJungle?

More like RocksInHead.

I vote for perma-ban.

The fact that he lets you guess rather than identifying himself sends a very bad vibe and doesn't say much as to rehabilitation. I guess a kindergarden teacher might say 'does not play well with others'. A parole board might say 'throw away the key'.
