Bored, you do realise that a significant portion of the people you are arguing with and insulting are moderators, don't you?

They know what they're talking about concerning Ted. You however, are a relative newbie that appears to be playing Devil's Advocate borderlining appologist.

One liners and general talking don't qualify as a debate. You know what I meant. He's not like patkelly or a creationist, in the sense that he's not disliked for having and defending an unpopular opinion. He's disliked because of his anti-social behaviour. Which varies in virulence, from hidden to insulting people for no good reason. Adding to that, he doesn't really contribute to the board, so having him gone is not a loss.

I think this has gone well beyond being a devil's advocate, and BoredShirtless is a flat out apologist. Devil's Advocates are usually smart enough to cut out the insults.

And Ted didn't really debate. All he offered was one-liners and quips. Sure he posted in debates, but apparently he didn't stop to read what anybody else posted before he threw his own opinion in.

No.

I am mearly stating that their positions concerning the administration of this board means that they know more about the situation than you do, as you appear to be a meager appologist.

You have to search, but he's been in a few.
First link you provided: No debate there
Second link: nope
third link: nope
fourth link: nope
fifth link: where are the debates?
sixth link: nope, I don't see it
seventh one: nope, nothing here, either.
eight one: no debate here, but plenty anti-us bullshit
ninth: a one-liner "debate" post (wheee!)
tenth one:no debate here
elevneht one: nope
twelveth one: nope
thirteenth one: nope
fourteenth one: something resembling a debate appears(from the same anti-us thread as the previous one)
fifteenth one: http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic. ... ht=#546062 erm...
sixteenth one: no debate here
seventeenth one:
Ted wrote:Technically, Bush and the Pentagon are terrorist's, Shock and Awe.

Shock and Awe was basically to terrorize the people enough to not fight the Americans, therefore, it is an act of terrorism, and those perpetrating it are terrorists.
eighteenth one:nope (even though its in the same thread as the above)
nineteenth: shock and awe are bad. (bsically the same post as 17)
20th one: another post in the same thread (a debate, whee!) So far all his "debate" posts are confined to one thread.
21st one: nope
22d one: nope

You get the picture. :roll:

Have a very nice day.

BS, I do wonder how you managed to write that post with your head lodged so deep in your rectum? It really is a gift.....
You seem to think this is all simply down to the Irish comment, well to be honest it didnt bother me much and I'm near the top of the list of people that should take it very personally with only the likes of Pounder above me. This is a cummulative thing, the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. Read my post all together rather than in little snippets (though I understand reading with your head stuck up your ass must be hard....) then you'd see that's the point I'm making.....just to help you though, I'll put it in bold and red :-


HE HAS PUSHED PEOPLE AGAIN AND AGAIN DESPITE BEING WARNED AND ALREADY HAVING BEEN TEMP BANNED!

Now, did you manage to read that this time?
Just once more to make sure you get it.....

HE HAS PUSHED PEOPLE AGAIN AND AGAIN DESPITE BEING WARNED AND ALREADY HAVING BEEN TEMP BANNED!

Alright?

I believe he's suggesting that you have not been exposed to the vast amount of Ted's BS, while the other members of the board who have been here longer have. The moderators have had to deal with his shit in the past, and he has already been warned extensively and even temp bannned once before. There is a reasopn your the only one defending Ted, perhaps because you do not understand the situation.

Having him gone IS a loss:
1. Ted's unique with his one liner posts.
2. He contributes to News and Politics with articles and debates [he may contribute to other forums I don't know about].

How was Ted "unique" with his one-line posts?

When they weren't simply "grunt", "okay", or "yes/no" types, they were almost always either veheminently sarcastic or vieledly rude comments.

For example, you could plainly see his seemingly fearful heatred of women where he posted in threads that had something to do with women in some aspect...

I should add that the thread didn't always have to concern women in its subject matter. Sometimes all that was needed of him to spay his venom was for Kelly, Zaia, Marina, or any other notable female member to simply post in a thread.

Of course, he was like that with all of his other issues, as well... :roll:

It seems I have just found a compromise: we let Ted back in, flame him for a while, and then perm-ban him. :twisted: That way, anyone who has anything to say to him, can do so.

Have a very nice day.

In fact, there have been no less than 5 different threads in the mod forum over 5 different incidents with him over the last several monthes. I helped defend him in at least two of those, to my great irritation, and asked that he be given leniency despite his history. He has been warned several times, titled, and banned once already. It is quite appearant that he is simply unwilling to change his attitude.

After reading your last several posts BS, you either don't understand the situation, or you're just an idiot.


Don't worry though, you're still our idiot, the village idiot to be exact.

1) I can see the advantage of having multiple admins now. :twisted:

2) what about my new proposal: let him in to flame him, then ban his ass?

That would be pretty non-productive, given that Ted thrives from such attention.

Plus on our part, it would just look simply petty...
