Aoi Inu's going on a cruise... That reminds me: Whatever happened to that 'WIn a date with Sonny' thing?

madman is a hydra with no accountability and no way to reason with him. Any old fool can stick his hand up his butt and make him speak. Giving madman admin abilities means power in anonymous, unaccountable, hands and that's not a good idea.

Holy fuckin shit, Arvchangel thank you so much for opening my eyes! I never realized that I was such an attention-seeking whore who only posts to make others notice me. How naive of me to think all along that the things I post about, in an admin forum no less, are about what I believe in. --------------------- YOu know, You've blocked me and sworn at me and called me all kinds of horrible things, and I just smiled because it was nothing less than I expected of you. But for you to imply that I take this board lightly and that I have frivolous reasons for my positions on board policy is petty of you to a new extreme, besides being completely unfounded. The position I've taken on trolls is the kind of position I have always taken on board admin matters. YOu weren't even around when Me and Bacchus and Yahven fought the edit wars back in Drunken Deities to make Politics the section of the board with the most freedom to speak your mind, so maybe you don't know, but the topic of speech in Hondo's is something I take real seriously. ----------------- I'll listen to every argument you have to make for banning trolls and consider them, but I think you need to stop and think before you go accusing me of taking up this fight to get attention.

Batman is not a ninja true. But only because he is supposed to be BEYOND ninja. If he was just a detective he'd wear a suit from Sears.

As one who has known the ravages of leprosy, I find your choice of words most insulting. It is a shame that we have to add your name to the long list of bigotted shame that includes Isaiah Washington, Mel Gibson and Michael Richards.

didnt say he looked like him. I said he reminded me of him. I think that's what I said. Somethinh about the eye/nose area...

Here we go. Ben Browder of Farscape and SG1

He reminds me of Ben Browder. YOu know, I should go find some Ben Browder pics to post...

No, Nick, you missed one. THat train fight with Ra's WAS indeed the worst shot fight ever. it's the same reason I never quite liked the fights in Gladiator. There's just movement with no meaning. I'd rather watch a Steven Seagal fight to be honest.

Rachel Dawes was pretty much a stand in for Harvey Dent in the movie. She was the asst DA after all. For a while, and even now, i keep thinking that it might been cool to just forget Harvey Dent and have Rachel Dawes become Two Face, because having BOTH of them would be kinda redundant. And a female two face would be interestin, especially with someone as attractive as Holmes.

His face has a funny pinched, red, look..

Who's Aaron Eckhart?

Well, Nick, you;ve heard Arch. You know HE would never support a measure that restricts speech unfairly, so we should probably go along with it...

A toy dog is a toy dog. I mean, I just can't take the things seriously and still feel like a man.

YOu really want a charm you should try mixing painkillers, alcohol and prozac (with a touch of orange juice for flavor)

As someone who never read the comic I found Hellboy petty good. I know comic fans have bitched bout the FBI agent character, but from a movie POV it made sense. A way into the characters' situation. Someone on the board actually made a "boy did that Ghostrider movie suck" option on a poll in fght club I think. Miht have been Chief or madman

But when you can't speak as one of your personalities, your speech has been restricted. 2nd, I think you should at least do the PM request thing, and if the private trolls *do* flood you with crap, then I'll support the ban and you can get Jax to move their posts to the crapshack AND I'll buy you one sixpack of whatever the beer of the week is...

Locking them out is restriction of speech of individual members. Explaining why not having them here is better for the forum and then having the puppet masters keep them away is much more to my liking. As for why the troll should listen to you... well, Like I said, the troll doesn't have a separate PERSONALITY. A PM takes place out of the public view, so when you send a PM, you're talking to the man/ woman behind the mask without any mask involved, really. If you challenge the trolls publicly, then they kinda have to respond in character for the sake of their street cred. And it's hard to imagine madman more empowered than he is now. You've already made him a martyr for his people by blocking ALL of them because of what he did.

YOu can breed dogs for temperament? Is there a place where they breed boyfriends like that too? and are the prices good?

Then put madman in his own group, along with any other public troll and ban that group. Your notion that sending this PM (And you could send ONE PM to multiple recipients) would be an invitation to the trolls to come mess shit up here is wrong. Remember, the trolls are just Real members wearing masks. That's why I'm for banning public trolls. With the private trolls a PM is actually talking to a real live member and once they understand your reasoning, they'll be cool. I mean, I think your reasoning is quite correct. Suggestion Box SHOULD be troll free.

We have about 10 active trolls. They're the only ones youd have to contact. What's more, I *do* support banning madman from the forum because he's intended to be a public whore troll and is therefore not someone you could reason with. (as if reasoning with someone called madman was ever an option!) And I just said that new trolls are quite a rarity.

It's easier than that. YOu know everyone in the unwashed heathen group, because you put them there. Just send an IM to them saying that the Suggestion forum needs to be kept clutter free so that new and current members can get oriented quickly and could they please play their watersports elsewhere... Like I said, earlier, we have very few active trolls to deal with. And every time a new troll signs, up, which is very rarely, you can tell em the same.

So, a polite request to the trolls wouldn't have worked instead of a heavy handed ban?

Yeah, we can have a poll about which movie has the best homerotic master/ slave scenes. Um, I mean we can vote on which movie has the best scene of hunky guys half-clad in leather going at each other with giant swords YOu know what? forget it... *I* am Spartacus!

Nick talks sense. We never had a need for a tabloid forum before. I would prefer not to have one created. and For sure, if one is created, it's not going into Politics. That's the kinda shit I'm a turn in my badge and gun over. Similarly, though, I have to say Nick's over reacting with the trolls. We got what? a grand total of 8 active trolls maybe? And madman is the only one to start shit here. He's the public access troll, maybe just banning him then?
