I have heard him spoken of often. Who was he?

“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.”

Most know him as a serial troll that kept getting banned and coming back under different names. I'm sure a lot of people here have stories of their personal encounters with him. I never returned any pms or emails he sent me, choosing to just ban him and delete all his posts.

Anyway, moving this to Off Topic as it has nothing to do with Star Wars...

He started out decent, with somewhat "intelligent" posts, then just turned into a disgusting troll.

Also, he was a self-proclaimed pedophile; he often posted pictures of 12 year olds in the 'BEAUTIFUL WOMEN' thread.

No, actually, the first time he was banned, he came back with several socks posting pictures of the much younger Dakota Fanning in the Beautiful Women thread and badmouthing Jay in about a dozen threads on the forums.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I'd almost forgotten about Adamwankenobi... I don't miss him much.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Whoah. I had no idea about that. This must have been after the second time he was banned since you were generally cordial to him when he came back and started getting his act together somewhat (soon before the final meltdown). But that's the worst offense I've ever heard him perpetrate. That's horrible.

Sorry, this thread probably should die pretty soon, but I just couldn't help but express my shock at that.

OK, that's more that a little disturbing.

Wikipedia also banned him. His name is Adam Kingrey, he's gotten some press for his actions:

There are good and bad Wikipedians; Adam Kingrey has been both. The 11th-grader from Glasgow, Ky., said he was a "major vandal" when he found Wikipedia last summer. Using different computer addresses, he ran roughshod over the president's biography. "I was amazed that I was able to edit without any control." But he soon learned Wikipedians have rules against such behavior.

Closing threads about AWK would be like saying people shouldn't discuss the Holocaust.

People should know who he is and what he did so they can soundly stone him if he ever comes back.

I disagree with you there Jay. You can't compare one of the most horrible and memorable moments of human history with a forum troll. It makes no sense discussing him, and it only gives reasons for more trolls to come in here, since we clearly demonstrate that they affect us, even when not here any longer. If you want to make an analogy, think of how TV stations and newspapers refuse to broadcast suicides (unless involving celebrities or under extreme circustances), because it has no valid point, not a good one anyway. You're the boss, but I gotta agree on the dead thread plee there, and I'll comply, no posting on this thread again.

I'm sorry, I didn't know. I just wondered who he was. I guess that now I know. Sorry.

With all due respect towards Jay, I must agree with Ric and Dayv. I will not post on this thread again.

Don't overreact. It was an analogy, not a direct comparison.

Everyone needs to calm down. If I locked a thread every time someone expressed a bit of apprehension towards the topic, this place would be empty.

AWK isn't Voldemort, and we're not going to elevate him to that status.

I disagree with you there. How dare you compare a forum troll with a Dark Lord of Magic.

I know that I've said I would not post here again, but every single time I make such promise I have the tendency of breaking it. But since this topic has changed from AWK into the whole "dead thread" discussion and its implications, I feel it's still valid for it to go on.

First of all, I belive everyone's calm. And I agree and understand it was merely an analogy, but what I feel you expressed on it is that we shouldn't just keep ourselves quiet because someone came over and done something we disaproove. But I don't feel your analogy is entirely valid because the holocaust is an important historical fact, and a forum troll isn't. We are not elevating him to any status of any sort, I feel we are doing the opposite here.

On some threads we have come into heated discussions in which one ore more parts disagreed and had this aprehension towards what was being discussed, the politic discussions are such examples, and we've never come close of locking the thread just for that. Our thread locking has been used only in, basically, trolling - useless or senseless topics and offensive discussions. And I particularly feel that discussing the behaviour of someone who has done such things is also senseless, as there is no real point. Can such conversation evolve beyond the whole "I hated him, he did this and that"? Wouldn't that be an open invitation for this behaviour, as it shows we are shaken by this trolling episodes? Well, I know I've contributed with my part on the futility of it, with these two posts of mine on this thread, and for that I apologise. But I was merely expressing my opinion, the same way the owner of this thread was clearly doing. I don't condemn him for starting this thread or anything, but he is now aware of who AWK was.

I've always defended and praised freedom of speech, and let's not mix up both. It's like the analogy I've done with suicide. Like, take that live TV suicide by that north american politician, Budd something. Later that day some TV stations broadcasted the whole thing, some showed only a few scenes, some refused to air any images of it. Why? Because it serves no point. That's what I was trying to say...
