[VOTE] Punishment for ArcturusMengsk

Post by CmdrWilkens »

As provided for in this thread the motion has been made to consider punishment for the user known as ArcturusMengsk for violations of board rules of conduct as provided in the thread mentioned.

So that everyone is aware a Permanent Ban requires a 60% majority of votes cast, TempBan and Titling require 50% +1 to pass. If we have no clear choice, excepting "no" punishment receiving a majority, we will procede to a runoff.

He's said a few crazy things in the past, but this time he hasn't just crossed the line, but shat all over it and all but announced his is seriously advocating starting a campaign of murder...

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

+1- err, voted.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

I imagine, like last time, he's run away and he'd come back when he thinks it's safe to do so. In other words, we can't even adequately mock him for his hate and violence advocating moonbattiness.

Instead I shall have to take pleasure in having this particular interweb HE MAN Narfle the Garthok!

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
