    I believe what he actually accused you of was idiocy.

    Ain't many here'd disagree.

    Gee Matt, the opinions of those who are completely disingenuous may not really matter.

    Nobody can tell me what the original ban was for, which seems to be par for the course when people get banned.

    I was never told either, so your point is well taken.

    I was banned for being a “git.” Whatever that means. Lisa never told me. Remember Lisa? I think she may have gone crazy!

    It's a British insult. I tried looking for an image to convey the meaning to non-Brits but weirdly it just has your photo...

    I'm pretty sure I've heard John Lennon use the word before in interviews.

    Nope, a lyric. "...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he's such a stupid git." I'm So Tired.

    He doesn't say git, he says get. But it's meant to be git. Propriety. You just didn't say that on a Beatles album.

    Tell me, what was the original ban for again? What rule did I break? Let me guess, you don't know because I didn't break any rule.

    What are you talking about, you blithering idiot? Where have KIRK1ADM, Enterpriser, or JohnM advocated for trump for president? Oh, that's right, they haven't, because the first poster you mentioned dropped off the face of the earth, just like the second, well before Trump even announced. YEARS. And JohnM sadly passed away - again, YEARS before Trump declared.

    Among Conservatives, Trump is gaining grounds. I didn't vote for him in the last election. I didn't trust him to do what he said he was going to to. Surprisingly, I will most likely vote for him in the next, as he has proven to be far more reliable to his campaign promises than most "Republicans."

    It seems like the insult "git" turns up in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga novels pretty frequently. Good reading by the way. Especially Cordelia's Honor (that is about Miles Vorkosigan's ass kicking, decapitating mother)

    Isn’t there rule that you have to be over 18 years of age to post in TNZ?

    Well, not a moron who quotes himself...

    And the sentence about KIRK1ADm etc was a separate musing from the rest of the post...
    Reminiscing about the great trolls of the past who got banned for pushing the envelope a bit too far, not morons like you, @TheLonelySquire or @Federal Farmer

    And @Federal Farmer , IIRC you got banned for being a troll by posting inane libertarian bullshit in almost every fucking thread you participated in even when it had nothing to do with the subject in the thread...
    The Mods asked you to cut it out but you kept doing it, so they banned you...
    And then you re-registered, got a second chance and blew that in the same way...
    And then you thought you could fool the mods a couple of more times but you made the same mistake, time and again, by posting your inane libertarian drivel...

    That’s a cool story. Too bad it’s made up.

    Nope, he was there. I missed most of his biggest hits, but I do remember one thread in which he argued for male abortion for three days and we were all :wtf:

    I was even the one to post about his eventual banning in....gosh, I wanna say somewhere between 05 and 06? The defunct Grey Room was still seeing regular activity when it happened.

    It's not entirely made up, he just left off the bit where he's a horrible fucking twat himself and got what was coming to him.

    Kinda like how you might be sympathetic to John Wayne Gacy for people hating on him because of the clown stuff, if he hadn't mentioned the other crap.

    No, it’s much more fun to watch you whine like a bitch about a ban from a message board that happened years ago

    I thought it was The Briar Patch for the old-style TNZ one, and The Think Tank for the one that was supposed to be some kind of genteel, high-minded Marquess of Queensbury thing.
