Members flemtone Posted August 31, 2010 Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 I was just going to page 4 and then.....it's gone. I loved that thread. Like a man dying of thirst loves a glass of cool clear water, like a mother loves her firstborn, like a wanking guitarplayer loves an open-mic blues jam played at over the last two years... Then, suddenly, it was out of my life. Like a soap bubble in a cactus farm, it just was too beautiful to live. *sheds tear, puts on 'Vincent', cries into beer* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChordGirl Posted August 31, 2010 Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 You missed most of the good stuff, flemtone. Squid saved him years of embarassment by deleting the thread altogether. Ya know, I was starting to feel sorry for the guy. Waging a one-man war against the entire world must be very lonely. That having been said, I was thoroughly entertained. Definitely 5-star trolling.

Members flemtone Posted August 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 everyone can join me in my cave of woe and misery. Everyone except that Big Stinky Inky Moderator. I know he had his reasons, but that thread should have been stickied as an example of this group's "coming of age", where we all joined hands and fought a common enemy. This should have been treasured as BWTB's Finest Hour. Fie unto him that besmirched it with the Hammer of the Bant. Fie, I say unto thee! Fie!!!

Moderators BATCAT Posted August 31, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2010 The thread in question was getting just a wee bit thick with insults, threats, and personal information. I couldn't let it stay. Our friend was actually first temp-banned by another moderator for his actions in another forum. I lengthened said ban for making threats. He returned as a "be-back" alt and was then issued a perma-ban. Yes, he was triple-banned in one day. I think I could be making some admonitions to a few people here about adding fuel to the fire and crossing the line a bit (not that the guy wasn't bringing it on himself), but any finger-wagging on my part would have to follow re-reading all 23 pages of that mess, and I don't think I can bring myself to do that, so I think it's just better to move on. By the way, the thread isn't deleted. It's just in a safe place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit man, I was hoping people would stay just on the right side of the line enough to make that thread a classic keeper. Dude really rolled with the punches for quite a while and it was very entertaining (even for him apparently) until people started getting pissed off. So now he's perma and we have nothing to remember him by. That makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he would have to be an all original band. Originals are the only way to have high paying gigs. Cover bands just wallow away in their pathetic existence rolling between dive bars in a rut that cover band musicians are too sucky to get out of...

Cover bands just wallow away in their pathetic existence rolling between dive bars in a rut that cover band musicians are too sucky to get out of... LOL I sometimes wonder if any of our more well-healed clientele have these kinds of thoughts about us (my band) while we're entertaining them. I've definitely run into a couple of well-heeled musical wannabe's over the years; the funniest ones are the ones that think they can buy their way onto a stage while ignoring their lack of ability to play music on a stage in front of anybody. Kinda like what we had going on here. I kinda feel bad in retrospect: we definitely piled on more than a little bit, but man o man, this guy was something else.

Members TrickyBoy Posted August 31, 2010 Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 So is this thread like the scene at the end of "Shawshank Redemption" where we reminisce about all the crazy things Dufresne did when he was one of us??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
