    After the Final Banning, Anc and Gul hinted a couple times that WF's most notorious troll, polarslam, still posted here with a dual. Like a troll, Ted is quite good at, um, polarizing the board. You don't suppose... :unsure:

    Look up Asberger's Syndrome and I think all will become clear.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome

    Ted isn't here because Ted is working on his life...you know getting one, enjoying the air and looking into all sorts of possibilities for the future. I'm glad he isn't here reading this bullshit and is out there making some changes.

    And yes, Ted has said and done some awful and creepy things...however he has never said anything remotely like that crotch comment, ever. It sounds nothing like him or his online "voice", if you know what I mean. I do believe he may have said something that Jenna didn't like, but I don't think it was that exact comment...I think she was looking for shock value and got it.

    Sometimes you do a google image search, hoping for a nice picture to respond with; I did find one for this post:

    [?=cartoon naughty bits][​IMG][/?]

    But then you sometimes come across one that's so much better, but you don't have a post to put it in. So, instead of a new spam thread, here's the other picture I found that I just couldn't not post:

    If Ted is halfway smart he'll stay the hell away from this thread. Any comment he make would probably just make him look worse.

    He does have some serious issues to deal with, and it's taken him a while to get off his ass and start making changes but I believe he is taking steps now.

    I've spoken with a few times in chat and he seems sincere enough about his fuckups... but who the hell knows? For all I know everyone here really is a Soma dual!

    Well, I'm glad he's doing something about his life, I really am, and my respect for Ted's gone up a bit from reading Tamar's last post.

    I don't have a problem with Ted. I think he went too far with some comments. Most of us have at one time or another. But I don't think he's any threat to anybody.

    And teh baba sayeth: let he who is wrodforge and knot gon to far csat the frist stoen.

    That's true enough, but the majority of us know there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed. Involving other posters' children in online fights is one of them (and the reason Black Dove got drummed outta town, even though many on the board were sick of seeing Mewa's Firefly trolling). Slinging mud about someone's health or death is sure to knock you down a few pegs. Face is still living down the Nibbles incident, and that was nearly two years ago.

    But that being said, if someone takes steps to improve themselves, I will be glad to support them and stop dredging up the past. In Ted's case, the changes he's making is improving his RL, so all the more power to him :yes:

    Was I the only one hoping BlackDove and Mewa would just punch each other so hard, there'd be a man-sized mushroom cloud, and then nothing left of either of them but smoking shoes?

    I don't know. Ted just seems creepy, sometimes. Not so much that I wouldn't talk to him, but I don't know if I'd want him dating my sister, if you know what I mean.

    I know a few Aspys and a few people with Autism.
    I even know a hyper intelligent guy that goes to the Aspy meetings so he can coordinate their interactions.
    They love him.

    Don't give polarslam too much credit.
