    I thought it was clear from context especially since I had just used the smilie in a post.

    Nope. While I know of a few, I'm doing this more as a form of future proofing. I'm doing this to prevent people from leaving because of posters like him.

    So John agrees with Republicans, "we can't show any voter fraud is happening but to discourage it we need to make it harder for certain people to vote". You cannot point to anyone run off by GT but you want to make sure all of his posts get moved to a black hole. You also cannot explain why the existing ignore feature doesn't solve the problem but you still really, really, really want a new forum to be used against your supposed enemies.

    Yeah, like I said, a little Adolf hoping to eliminate the people who disagrees with him. Yeah, that is going to help the forum become a better place alright. :rolleyes:.

    That's not at all similar to this situation. gturner actively derails threads. People are becoming turned off the notion of posting in the Red Room. You want an example? Fine, me. I find it frustrating that I can't even have a conversation or debate without threads being derailed. I know I'm not alone in that, either.

    Hell, so far the only example anyone has been able to come up with, Starguard, is a guy who barely posted here and who stopped posting years before GT joined. I mean, come on! Can't you come up with a single specific example?

    Annoy or otherwise piss off John. No, seriously. He'll play it off as you being some kind of threat to the board, but what it comes down to is John being annoyed or pissed off. :yes:

    Ding, ding, ding! Winner!

    John has always been weak on facts and long on fact free claims so expect him to try to roll eye his way through it. It is his first instinct.

    A way long time ago in my ENT shipper days at TBBS, we had a shipper there (one @Captain X can confirm as well) who only remained there to piss in everyone's cheerios after she lost the shipping war, starting passive aggressive bullshit about Trip being dead as a doorknob and suggesting that the Vulcan hybrid kid was better off dead, pissing off many of the women who have struggled to have children of their own. She wasn't as brazen as Dayton to announce she was using rules against us, but we knew the fucking game. But because her Enterpriser game was top notch she was allowed to stick around while poster after poster stormed off. No shit, she is part of the reason I followed Stewey here after his ban.

    The fact is, people like her *do* poison the joint. WF has been far more flexible than most boards but when the staff is getting PMs about this, then it's time to do something. We probably should've done something ages ago.

    We already know you are butt hurt and want to eliminate your enemies. Thanks, but that is not justification for you to get yet more power to silence the opposition. You claimed he was running off posters, who are they?

    "I don't like them and want to make their posts disappear" is not a good justification as far as most people are concerned.

    No, just a sad little man who can't even come up with a decent excuse for your desire to make posters you dislike disappear.

    Am I the only one who hardly ever browses the forums anymore? I just use the "New Posts" button unless I'm looking for something specific.

    The thought to ban you has never occurred to me. Seriously. Disagreement is disagreement. You and I have had great conversations every so often, and even when we haven't, when we've disagreed vehemently, you've contributed to the board. People like @gturner do not contribute, they constantly live only to piss in everyone's cheerios, as @Anna mentions.

    Ooh, better run. Nothing will stop my pogrom of poster suffering.

    What happens when gturner gets going? When he really starts some shit? He gets dozens of other posters involved. You have him on ignore, but your posts go unnoticed because everyone has been drawn to the dumpster fire in the thread. Another thread derailed successfully.

    gturner can be quite funny sometimes. He's hardly the bad apple you make him out to be.
