The picture rah didn't want us to see and Ming banned away for

Robert Plomp · August 5, 2002, 16:52

This is the picture that was posted by Boddinton's

rah removed it, and Ming banned Boddington's for it while he not even saw it.

do you guys think Boddingthon's should be banned for it?

No. I mean, sure it's sexist but...it all depends on the circumstances. I think a warning would be sufficient.

zulu9812 · August 5, 2002, 17:00

where was it posted? Off-Topic? I have no problem with it - it's hardly explicit or sexist, is it?

Immortal Wombat · August 5, 2002, 17:04

That picture is first in a series of 24. As rah and Ming presumably knew

Clear Skies · August 5, 2002, 17:06

Oh wow...this is SO asking for it.
If ever a thread deserved Postia Ante Deletia, this is it. Read the FAQ and you'll see that banning is at a moderator's discretion, not by democratic vote.

Pavlov · August 5, 2002, 17:08

the FAQ doesn't say anything about nagging after the decision has been made, now does it? :P

FrustratedPoet · August 5, 2002, 17:11

The picture itself is vulgar and a bit sexist IMHO, but compared to the bigoted sexist/xenophobic/anti-semetic/homophobic/etc...etc... rants and flames that are actually written in the OT it is tame.

Why should the facts ever get in the way of a good troll

Zoid · August 5, 2002, 17:34

I think Bodds should be banned, period!

And he tends to build up to bannings on a regular basis anyway, so...

Immortal Wombat · August 5, 2002, 17:53

What was the other picture?

before I 'm going to say how well you handled this situation I wanna know what the facts are in your opinion.

It would be a pitty if I would reward you for something you did by accident

For so far, I have to admit I was hoping for something different.

A banning for yourself, you mean?

Yeah ... we know. (j/k)

MarkG · August 5, 2002, 18:12

facts are not related to the opinions of the people who witness them.

try asking the right question.

exactly.

I'll mention you as my personal mentor from now on in my CV

The right question should be:

"I know the facts, Boddingthon's told me. Do you know the facts?"

Since you're going to ask this question with plain 'yes' I'll have to ask a second question:

how did you know them?

But, I'm afraid I lost this one.
Good shot Markos! I'll have to be smarter next time.

BUT there's still a change you're going to answer WRONG. Do if for me babe! Make my day.

*sob* I lost. *sob*

42?

Immortal Wombat · August 5, 2002, 18:22

no, that's the answer to life, the universe and everything, but that is useless without the question, which we can't know, so I asked a different question.

you can read that in the bible.
wrong question. right answer though.

EDIT: STOP THE TROLLING

it will give Markos a reason to close the thread, and not answer my right-asked question.

Ahhh... you "know" the facts because Boddington's told you...

And you consider those facts? Sounds like just "one" side of the story to me... and a biased one at that

MarkG · August 5, 2002, 18:26

the correct would be

"I know the facts THAT Boddingthon's told me. Which are the real facts?"

Robert Plomp · August 5, 2002, 18:28

ok, eventhough I lost it on Markos, I can hapily proclaim I'm victorious over Ming!

Ming, you are actually completely missing the point of this post. That's pretty cool though, since it makes me feel better.

But pherhaps I'm wrong, thus I'll ask:
"Did you ban Boddingthon's because of the picture I just attachedin this message?"

EDIT: crossposted with Markos.

"I know the facts THAT Boddingthon's told me. Which are the real facts?"

that's not a question :rolleyes!:
Forget about what I said about mentorship, you just lost it

Since you didn't come with a question, I'll ask again:
"Do you know the question ?"

or pherhaps even better, answer the question I asked to Ming. This is getting cool.

We have Markos and Ming here, and they both don't know for what picture Boddingthon's was banned. And to make it even better, they removed the picture from this thread as well.

I'm sure, Ming still did not see the picture

Robert Plomp · August 5, 2002, 18:33

Now I see that you actually putted a ? at the end of your line, Markos.

Which would make it a question indeed.
I'm not english, and neither are you, but are you sure that's a correct english line?

if that is the case then this means that he was banned for something else. and what would this thread be then?

Robert Plomp · August 5, 2002, 18:35

thus he was banned for posting 3 threads a day?

Robert Plomp · August 5, 2002, 18:37

I had to be quick, since I felt like Markos was going to close this thread.

this is the message I post in case he's not going to close it. Thought I should clear that up.

EDIT: either I'm a fast typer or Markos didn't close the thread. I should trust him more I guess (AND I'm a fast typer as well, if you wondered)

Like?
Ming said he banned Bodingthon's for posting a over-the-edge picture, he didn't see himself, but he was told about by rah.

but you admit you don't know?
Then why did you say that I don't know the facts?

It's getting really good now.

Quote:

like I said, I'm not english either, let's try:
"I know the facts THAT Boddingthon's told me. Are those the real facts?"

I only changed the last part. The credits for the first part are for you!

You might try answer it as well!
A simple 'yes' or 'no' will not do. (notice, it reads 'not')

EDIT: seems like we lost MING in this

EDIT2: Markos, did you save that picture, or are Ming and you now pm-ing each other bad words for not saving it?
EDIT3: Of course you saved it, you collect those images.

Totally untrue.

He was banned for a posting a picture that violated Apolyton Rules. And, I HAVE NEVER stated I saw the picture. I said I based it on my conversation with Rah, who did indeed see the picture. And I trust his opinion and interpretation of the rules more than I trust Boddy's... And are you sure that the picture he sent you is indeed the picture that he posted and was restricted for... He posted two... was that the one that violated the rules... or was it the other one

Or are you just going on what Boddington's told you...

Skanky Burns · August 5, 2002, 18:41

My interpretation was that he was banned for his intent to break the rules.
