    Well, yes and no. Mentalist is a great admin but even he has his limits.

    His meltdown started slow but really picked up steam in the last 72 hours. remarkable to watch, actually. He went off on Eggs, and Eggs is a pretty nice guy all around. He also went off big time on me, and a couple of mine field regulars.

    So yeah, it took some doing.

    I didn't mind some of his takes on occasion, but then you had the far right-wing tinfoil hat-wearing racist sexist / every -ist side to him.

    That could be problematic.

    Who mourns for John Castle?

    I couldn't agree more.

    That definitely takes ALOT of doing on a TK poster's part.

    NOBODY!

    IIRC Storm and Tamar went and trolled a board he was also trolling. They then set him at TBBS.

    As in "he plays a role until he gets bored," then stages a meltdown so that he can come back with a new sock puppet.

    Wait. What did he get banned for? That's some bullshit unless he did something illegal. I remember when Sardy ran the place you had to almost be actively breaking the law before you'd get banned. Even mass spammers only got quarantined.

    Gonna copy paste what I said at TK:

    Castle’s problem is that he is a drunk Peter Pan refusing to grow up and bitter that everyone else is growing up.

    The internet has grown up this last quarter century. These boards have grown up.

    Even if he believes TK was this den of rabblerousing trolls where Free Speech jihads were planned or WF was some kind of debate society, so what?

    For real. So what? Now they are VFW/American Legion/Eagles/Elks/Masons/Stonecutters/[insert local social club here] halls where the old folks still alive shuffle into to share pics of their grandchildren and talk about the latest episode of Matlock or Murder She Wrote.

    And if you forget to take your meds (or took too many) and disrupt the place and the host tells you to calm down or get out and you say ‘Make Me’ well… That’s on you.

    TK was calm, silent... then someone posted something and a flamewar broke out for 20 pages and into the MineField...

    That was a meltdown?

    I actually went over to see the amusement.

    I saw castle before he was banned on WF. That wasn't even colorful or explosive for him.

    It was all contained in a thread. How can you have a meltdown in a place called TK that is really contained in a thread?

    I have to remember you guys have far different standards for these things.

    TK has got soft as fuck. Sardy would have just called that Tuesday. TK is infested with the kind of people who flipped out over Skinofevil's Major Kira thread on TrekBBS back in the day. We made TK to make fun of those people. Now they're running the website?

    It is nice how the local biofilters work so that they mostly keep over there doing what they do. I actually feel bad they flushed castle out the air lock. You know he is only going to infect some other message board. The garbage scow is supposed to keep the garbage inside and not jettison it. Castle was what TK was made for.

    But anyway, I am not cleaning that shit up. My flames have a restorative factor that keeps the victims burning for a long time. That effect tends to work to energize a troll of castle's nature. It is hard to use troll on troll techniques, and I have to admit for all his crazy he has that persistence that is really hard to defeat in the present rule base.
