I think what's odd about not being able to write a title or use ellipsis

You don't need to, there's always a reason. Just because you can't bend your head around it doesn't mean it shouldn't have happened.

Ahh, patronisation... always goes down well in a position of authority.

lolpancakehausen?

Can we exchange Stockhausen for DM please.

I miss DM.

I don't see why we're calling for the ban (not that our opinion would have any bearing on moderator decision). He creates lots of threads (which isn't against rules), and tends to create heated discussions. I don't think we can call that trolling, though.

He seems to genuinely believe in what he posts and clearly feels quite strongly about it. Why should we ban him for this?

Edit: As for this thread, well... he's probably annoyed at the constant abuse he gets whenever he creates a new thread and the same people attack him rather than not click on any thread he starts.

What I find damned odd is that 'Moderators' arbitrarily close threads where their views differ from that of the OP

But your views suck anyway

Especially when that authority has just been accused of being trigger happy, although the thread is still open and the comment still there with the originator of the comment unsuspended.

Hmmm.

Maybe that is just a front

One massive fake sensationalist. Move along.

Funny how he posted that and hasn't come back.

I can't stand the way he changes the names of papers etc and just goes on and on about crap.

But then the people who post in one of his threads just to say "lol .. etc" really need to learn to not open the thread in the first place.

Then rise above it rather than stooping to their level of pettiness, it just looks childish.

Gawd, at least DM delivered some entertainment. Deep down inside we'd have him back, maybe we should have a poll.

Zip · 13 Oct 2011 at 12:08

I miss penski!

even if he did give me **** all the time

Do you guys mean darkmaster?

"It's his constant posting like an RSS feed and making a somewhat constructive opening post but then vanishes and doesn't post again in the thread."

I think he's gone and done it again!

The other side of the arguement is that you post news articles, make comments which are controversial/twisting the truth/factually incorrect/heavily biased/aim to provoke etc and then disappear from the thread without engaging with the posters who actually want a serious discussion.

That's the main reason why people give you abuse and then the threads get closed.
