Q23 - This is what happens when your admin isn't me.

[Ingmar]

The Ubisoft games with the uPlay thing that doesn't close when you close the game are bad for this - my 23 hours in Assassin's Creed 2 is actually 30 minutes followed by me not closing the uPlay window for a weekend.

[Xanthippe]

Sand banned over at Broken Forum. That didn't take long.

[Reg]

So where will he pop up next I wonder? Perhaps Q23 will appreciate him.

[Lantyssa]

Lum bans people!?

[MuffinMan]

Is there going to be a banned of the banned of the banned community soon?

[Merusk]

Lum bans people!?

It takes a hell of a lot.  Which is why I wonder how the hell Sand got banzored so damn quickly.

[Ironwood]

For being an incredible douchebag.

You may, should you wish, find out the details for yourself.  It will not come as any surprise to you.

Me, I'd nuke this thread from orbit.  Far, far, far, too self obsessed.

[Cheddar]

Yeah.  I am totally not touching this one with a ten foot pole.

You're self-obsessed but I'm not telling you to nuke yourself from orbit.

Sick burn.

[Sky]

I guess that explains all the kids.

[Sheepherder]

Reason for banning: No, Sand, you don't get to roll alts.

[Reg]

Did he think Lum was too dumb to know that Gypsum is a type of Sand?  There's the old Broughden shining through again.

[Sheepherder]

Technically it's not sand, in can be though.

[Reg]

Yes, yes. And knowing that people couldn't possibly have just let it pass I should have pointed that out in an extended coda to my original one line post.

[Cyrrex]

To be fair to the rest of us, Sheepherder isn't an actual person.

[Tannhauser]

Hmm, my origins are murky.  I came here from Waterthread, which I went to after LtM.  But what led me to LtM?  Or did I even exist before that?  Maybe I'm the vengeful spirit of the Internet!

Nah, I'm just some dood who got hooked with UO, went to EQ and somehow found LtM. 

Fun Fact!  I was yelled at by Lum as a WW2OL fanboi just after his "Taxi to Victory" post.  But when he joined Mythic he stopped with LtM (I think) and I lost interest in stalking him.  I rarely go to his new site, it's rarely updated. 

Now I haunt f13 relentlessly.  Whenever a snarky comment is called for I burst into action!  Like the vengeful spirit of the internet!

Sorry, long day, dog tired.  Honestly, I enjoy this site because I enjoy discussing topics with sharp folks who share my passions for gaming and other areas.  This is a fine community with merciful and gracious moderators. 

[Sheepherder]

He would have wanted it this way.

I'm wondering if he tried that argument on Lum.

Lum has been banned on Qt3 for telling Brian Koontz that he needed professional help after posting a long-winded defence of Anders Brevik.

That post. Shit. I only watched day one of the trial, but I'd like to tear Breivik limb from limb with my bare hands for killing Norwegian hot chicks. For starters.

[Arthur_Parker]

It's very disturbing to read about how normal people react in that type of situation, some are just incapable of running away.  I can see why Lum replied to that post but I'm not sure it helps to engage with someone on the internet who's clearly got some kind of mental illness.

[Tannhauser]

Huh.  Imagine going to a cesspool and finding a pool of cess.

[tgr]

Sigh, I wish the whole Breivik incident had never happened, if only because I can't even read norwegian newspapers or watch norwegian television without having to read or hear some idiot spouting some "professional opinion" or "professional interpretation" of how fucked up in the head Breivik is, or some "professional theory" of why he did whatever.

The only positive thing I've seen come out of this is that apparently some study about how violent games aren't causing violent behavior, but violent people gravitate towards violent games, got some airtime.

I wrote about that on my blog 6 months ago...

The attempted glib humour "hot chicks" comment just makes you seem like a douchebag yourself, probably worth smacking the stupid out of. One of the kids where I work (she's Norwegian) had a friend killed by that cunt, but you'd look like a douche even without that being a factor.

[Bzalthek]

Some people only get offended if they can perceive a personal connection.

[ghost]

I'm honestly quite surprised that Brevik was not diagnosed with some form of Schizophrenia.  At a minimum he's got a seriously nasty narcissistic personality disorder.  But I digress.  Anyone that defends the guy is a serious weirdo.

Why does this not surprise me at all? Not only that, but other people in that thread were standing behind Koontz and like "good point!"

A scenario in which Lum is clearly the good guy...cats and dogs sleeping together!

One of the things which I've been forced to learn throughout the last 6+ months is that while the initial psychiatrists deemed him as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, they were apparently wrong because of the way he reacted when he was confronted on his views, he got argumentative instead of more extreme.

I dunno, I wish they'd just stop covering the whole case and let him go back to obscurity instead of continually feeding his "hey look at me" desire.

"Probably worth smacking the stupid out of"?

For the record, I was brought to tears by watching the Sky coverage of the trial as they read out the victims' names and how they died. I really wanted to tear the smirking shithead apart. I was watching from my hotel room on holiday, but normally I'd be seeing it in the newsroom where we cope with stuff like that every day through black humour. I didn't mean to offend you, I was only trying to express my dismay at the pro-Breivik rant.

This. Shut off the cameras, stamp the fucker insane and have him rot in a padded cell for the rest of his miserable life. I dont want or need to know any more.

I think the adherence to the rule of law, and the principles of innocent until proven guilty in this case highlight the strength and enlightenement of Norwegian society.

You wouldn't have seen the same level of enlightenment of the Norwegian society if it had been done by one or more muslims (which even muslims living in Norway thought it was, initially).

[Ironwood]

Prove it.
