    ^Says one of the retards, in high school easy prey for the bullies, now one of those kicking hardest.

    Poor poor dicky, reminds me of that nazi spy in Stalag 17 beating hardest on William Holden. So, dicky, what repressed hostility is behind your unhappiness with life? Just your near-complete losertude?

    I would have preferred @Tererun was banned.

    Chickenshit, just like with Castle. We're now a place that bans anyone the KewlKidz don't like. :jayzus:

    Dayton's not such an innocent victim. How many times has he mentioned his "imposing physical presence" or words to that effect, and how he feels it entitles him to respect? Or used violent metaphors like "beating people over the head" with his arguments. He's probably used to acting the bully IRL and that's why he gets so frustrated when the same tactics don't work here. He came right out and said he planned to track people down and show up at their houses to initiate a confrontation. Does anybody think that's not a tad over the line of acceptability?

    No, you see, if three regimes of owners don't do anything about a troll, they get a special dispensation.
    It's like squatter's rights but with assholism instead of a house.

    It's impossible to get rid of Tererun once you contract it.
    Even if you go into the registry to manually clean it out, it moves its core DLLs around with mutating filenames, then clones back at the next bootup.

    He does not have to do all that tracking down with me, I would gladly meet one of my opponents and have a good meal with them. It would not be the first time I met someone I thought was an asshole online. Though I am not going to go way out of my way to meet dayton. It would have to be a meeting of convenience for me. Still, it is not like I do not travel around a lot.

    It seems to me he got really butthurt because things got really personal with him. Still, he advertises he real life information so he should know people are going to use it in arguments to mock him. He really should not be using his real name in discussions considering how touchy he is. Yes, I am saying that recognizing I can be pretty touchy too.

    That's just a lame bullshit statement.

    Being an "open" board with lax rules does not mean you can be an assclown forever with no repurcussions. Castles ban is more questionable, but this isn't. Everyone knows Dayton wasn't banned for his politics or for being a "Christian". People got tired of veiled threats, constant attempts to just piss people off, attempts to get people banned by manipulating the mods and/or rules etc...

    EDIT: and that's from someone who doesn't like the new ownership.

    My favorite Daytonism was over on TBBS (I think he admitted it here too). He outright admitted he was trying to hurt people's enjoyment of the new Battlestar Galactica by trolling them and the show (he may not have used the word troll). He stated he wanted to hurt their enjoyment and drive them away from the show (a stupid plan) so the ratings would drop and the show would b canceled. His reason? He wanted the continuation of BSG TOS. When told what a dickish attitude that was, he defended it as a valid way to get what he wants.

    That's the moment I completely understood the kind of person he is.

    Just out of curiosity, was there any ownership regime you *did* like, ever?

    It's a month-long ban.

    Unclench.

    It was bound to happen some day. If he didn't deserve it for this, he deserved it for generally being a dingbat over the last 12 years or however long he's been on WordForge.

    This isn't the first time Dayton's been given a temporary ban here.

    The only previous owner for a long time has been Tamar. It doesn't matter whose name is on the pink slip.

    I think he did that with one of the Trek series.
    Might've been Abramstrek, might've been ENT, could have been both.

    I thought it was a pretty weak ban myself. After all the constant repeated attacks many on this board has done to him I'm surprised he didn't threaten to confront some of you sooner. He didn't threaten with violence, he just wanted to see if some of you were as much a dick in real life as you are behind the keyboard. His ban pretty much answers that question.

    When was Tamar ever an owner? If she was I don't remember.

    Cass / Aurora was the first owner. Then Borgs. Then Elwood. Then Lanzman. Then the current scenario.

    Did I miss anyone?

    The funny thing, is all of that describes the reason Castle was banned.
