WTF has he even met LT. Hitman? I haven't even met LT. Hitman, I just know a little bit about him from the FUQ?
He apparently has lurked on ASVS just enough to find out a little bit about the good Lieutenant.
Most if not all of what he spews was most likely learned on the archives. He doesnt even understand what a TGOD is. Any lurkage must have been extremely limited and probably was via google.

I usually ignore the trolls in this place and let my far more aggressive and skilled comrades deal with them while I entertain, but THIS is really the last straw in regard to Mike_6002. He threatened someone's life and for what?? He wasn't here durting the dark times, he did not suffer the Wall of Ignorance, so what the fuck?!?!
I realize now that he is nothing more than a syncophantic child. Unfortunately there is nothing more to say, it is ireedemable at this point, after all what does it say about SD.Net if we don't do something about it?
My patience is at an end regarding this matter.

Real quick, when someone signs up here, Mr. Wong should really have a disclaimer stating that 'newbs don't be trolls and try to fit in, you'll only get flamed.' would probably help.

He may have thought it as such when RayCav (IIRC, it was him) started "TGODing" as he wrote of people crushing miscellaneous trolls.

Anyone stupid enough to need to be told that should be banned anyway.

The "don't try to fit in" could be misinterpreted though; better would be "don't be a poseur" which everyone should understand.

Well, some might try to fit in a bit too hard, but otherwise be harmless, so a modification of the latter part as I suggested wouldn't be too bad.

Yes, I guess "don't be a poseur" could be of use." Don’t be a fucking poseur stupid newb" also works

Ban him. And (though I'll probably go eat a gun after I say this!) drop Dumbshit a courtesy email about this. Even idiots have a right to not be troubled by this bullshit.

Very interesting.
It seems that he has taken sd.net's high standards of logic and reason and indoctrinated himself in them in the same way one becomes a fundie.
I get the feeling that part of the reason why he's said the quote is our fault. We uphold logic and reason and bash those who don't so hard, that they become compelled to uphold logic/reason to the fullest, almost fanatical extent.
Wow, Mike, I must say I am disappointed. I was one of the ones who spoke up to give you a chance to change because I believed you could have if you wanted to. Unfortunately it seems my faith was misplaced. I hate being wrong.
Ban, please.

Ban him. And Darkstar is owed an apology. If nothing else, it'll short circuit any plans he has for a "Look at the fanatical Warsies Wong is cultivating at SD.net!" rant for his website.

That is my thought on the matter. Perhaps not an apology per se, but an explaination. Perhaps a notice that he was banned due to his threats.
Something along the lines of "We believe that you are completely 100% full of shit, but that doesn't mean we approve of threats. Mike# has been banned for these threats."
Ok, did five people really vote that Mike shouldn't be banned, or was that just Mike voting five times to keep himself around?
If you did vote 'no, don't ban him' and you aren't Mike, please explain why you voted that way. I'll reread the thread to make sure I didn't miss anything, but I'm fairly certain no one posted any reason why he should stay.
One more thing: is there any way the polls can be regulated so that one person gets one vote per poll, or do we have to leave it to the honour system?

That works. Maybe apology isn't the right term--the rest of the board, after all, didn't do anything to apologize for. Banning Mike is absolutely necessary, though. It's going to look like we condone what he said if he isn't, or at least that we're indifferent to it.

Anyway, a full IP-ban is impractical, as he gets his IP address from a DHCP server on a cable network, and could simply get a new IP address. I don't want to ban all cable users in Hamilton because of this guy.
So, this leads to the question of how it should be handled. The vote seems fairly conclusive, but a username ban is of limited power. I suppose we could do it anyway and hope he gets the message.
For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet Cybertron.
But now, you shall witnesss ... its dismemberment!

Multiple accounts. Though a few people seemed like they where or had voted no.

Ban the username. I doubt he could get a new IP address on his own, on the great scale of brightness he's a five-watt. If he pops back up we ban that. The stupid behavior is easy enough to track on its own. Though we've had a shit load of trolls this week.
