A Libertarian would be for all of that, because personal liberty is the foundation of the platform.

Not liberal enough, pal! :P No, I kid, you're very liberal as well.

Who knew a forum full of grown men would include so much drama.
I know right! Like that dude who decided to leave off topic because a bunch of member were getting annoyed at someone for trolling, totally drama queen that one... ;)
Seriously, don't leave because of this. You're over reacting big time and being a bit of a baby. It isn't your responsibility to put out fires, and you've been doing a shitty job at it anyway. Just ignore certain threads and this whole thing will blow over pretty soon. There is still a lot of decent conversation to be had around here. We already lost Warbler (likely for good) because of this BS.
I'm not being a baby, I'm just wondering how I got sucked into this. I had no clue the "Hug it out" thread would have turned into this. My feeling is "yikes, why am I still a part of all these conversations?"
I like this forum, I'm going to stay, I'm just removing myself from the needless drama in Off Topic. Seems like a reasonable decision to me.
I talked to georgec and warbler earlier. I'll continue post in some of the lighter topics. After all I can't leave georgec as one of the only liberal atheists in the politics thread.

Don't be such a butt.
I agree. ABC, stop being a butt. Clearly you are pissing people off, just take it easy.
However, someone of you (not Boost) are being more than butts in your way of handling him. We can all go on and on about whether ABC is annoying or picking on Warbler, but he hasn't called anyone an asshole or a prick. He's also not calling for anyone to be banned. He certainly doesn't seem to target anyone in anger like some of you are doing to him.
ABC is giving Warbler a hard time and maybe even being mean, but but crucifying a guy for having a laugh at someone else's expense is more cruel in my opinion.
I'm really trying to be on your side Warbler, but when the victim becomes the aggressor it's a little hard. Please forget I brought up ignoring ABC and go back to ignoring him (I mean, I'm sure he's on ignore already, you should just stop reading his posts).
Let's all calm down.
Warbler said:
I have it with this shit.
Walkingdork, your right, I dare I be the aggressor! only the great ABC is allowed to be the aggressor! not me! I am never allowed to be the aggressor. I should just sit here and take his shit. Let him make a fool of me! let him ruin the forum! let him bully me! BUT GOD FORBID I DO ANYTHING AGAINST HIM! I SHOULD JUST IGNORE HIM AS I'VE DONE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, HOPING HE'D GET THE MESSAGE AND JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! BUT INSTEAD, I STAND UP FOR MYSELF! WHAT A JERK AM I! WALKINGDORK, FUCK OFF!!
ABC, FUCK OFF AND FUCKING DIE!!!!!
This is my last post in this forum until ABC is banned.
...
I really have no idea how to respond to this.
I'm done. I'll continue to lurk in the other forums and answer my PMs, but I'm done putting out fires in the Off Topic forum. Who knew a forum full of grown men would include so much drama.
Happy Birthday Leonardo!
BTW, I love greenpenguino's David Bowie avatar from Venture Bros (where my avatar also comes from). I also like doubleKO's Beemo avatar.

I beg your pardon, walkingdork? I've been a member for 5 years. If we're going by membership time, I'm even older than Frink! Currently you're showing your newbie status, ironically.
Sorry to offend. Also I think it quite clear to everyone that I am the new guy and I was not implying you were a newb.
I'm just saying this because this is the kind of behavior that Adamwankenobi did. Now I don't know if he was banned for that or the incident with Dayv's daughter, but if it were the former than I would think the same banning rules would apply here.
Why would he be banned for poking fun at Warbler? He's not hating on the guy, calling him obscenities, or threatening him. Some of you guys are so quick to get out the torches and pitchforks.
Warbler said:
and he has also posted in the political thread. He will never leave.
I hope he doesn't.
bkev said:
It's cases like this where I wish Jay weren't so god damn stubborn on his "no moderating Off Topic" stance. This is the kind of shit that should get people banned.
I disagree completely. I know this forum has a history of deleting the undesirables, but I just hate the idea of deleting people because they don't get along with others. This is the single reason why people have socks in my opinion. Because this isn't the place to say what you feel, so we need socks to say it for us.
bkev, I'm not yelling at you. You are fairly new and this idea of banning the guy who annoys too many people has been around way before you and I. I'm not mad at anyone, I just hate this idea of a censored forum. People are people, and some people don't get along with other people. It's life, let's not hide from it.
When did forums become such a gated community?
Figured there are plenty of Spleeners on OT who only check Myspleen when there is a release so I decided to post this here as well. Plus a lot of our dead torrents are Star Wars torrents and maybe someone of you can help out reseeding them.
From the Myspleen news page:
CONTEST BONANZA!
I have 30 MYSPLEEN T-Shirts in my living room and we are going to be giving a lot of them away. We've got several contests going as well as upcoming prizes and freeleech opportunities.
Besides the 1st prize we are also giving away a t-shirt to a random participant for each contest. So participate!
Dead Torrent Contest
http://www.myspleen.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15534
Reseed a torrent that has been dead and get points for it. The longer the torrent has been dead the more points you get. The person with the most points wins.
Avatar Design Contest
http://www.myspleen.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15536
Get the most votes with your new avatar and win a T-Shirt.
Animated Avatar Design Contest
http://www.myspleen.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15535
The animated version of the other contest.
Piss & Moan Contest (aka Why I deserve a T-Shirt)
http://www.myspleen.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15537
Convince us you deserve a Myspleen shirt in dramatic fashion. For every year you have been a member on the tracker your name will be thrown into a hat. We'll then draw one or two names to win t-shirts.
Fine Print The more you participate the more likely you are to win a shirt, however, you can only win 1 shirt.
IRC Chat for FREELEECH
Our #myspleen channel usually has between 35-50 people. We can get that number up to 100 people idling at once we'll have freeleech for a week. I'll then hand out a T-Shirt for every 50 people idling after that up to three times. That means for me to hand out a third t-shirt there would have to be 250 people idling at once (pretty unlikely in my mind).
Our chat is on irc.dejatoons.net on #MySpleen
Should be a good time. Good Luck :)

I'm disappointed I was snubbed in the movie credits. The OP clearly shows the original idea was mine.
Someone just became my internet enemy.
This is true. It was his idea, I just ran with it.
YES! I made the credits! Director? BOOYAH!
CP3S said:
Well I should hope so, it was a very immature and mean spirited thing to do, the only other forum member who thought it was a good idea was the guy who spends most his free time stoned as hell.
Hey now, I don't spend all my free time getting stoned, just the free time I spend talking to you maniacs. :)
Seriously, I cannot believe how quickly the "Hug It Out" thread turned into the "Have It Out" thread. And CP3S you are right, this whole mess started when I just asked one innocent question about why one person can't be friends with the over.
And about the warbler pic. It's funny. I know may have been used to pick at warbler but it's harmless and very funny. If it was done to me, I would make it my new avatar. Xhonzi had bunch of people do a similar thing with his face.
Bingowings said:
Isn't it annoying how allergic people have allergies and stuff.
Very. It's also annoying when you're the one with the allergies. I take allergy meds like some people pop pills for recreation. If I wake up with allergies and I need them gone in a hurry, I'll take two benadryl gel tabs and bite one. instant relief, but also there is an instant feeling of "fuck this I want to go to bed."
This is not hugging it out.
For the record I didn't bring up the past, Warbler and Bingo did. I just read it and have a better understanding of where Warbler is coming from. I'm glad I read it too, or I would still be telling warbler to suck it up. Warbler and I have had a private conversation about it as well and we're cool.
CP3S: I like this side of you. Very sexy.
ABC/XyZ: you should probably bring it down a notch or two
bkev said:
^Well that was a good way to plug the Spleen :P
I'm not trying to advertise the spleen and we're certainly not ina competition with Demonoid. I doubt anyone would get in trouble using newsgroups or rapidshare.
But if you are getting in trouble for downloading things that are not SW/FE related then I would recommend using private trackers (there are hundreds and hundreds of them). I don't just use myspleen, I also regularly use 8-10 other trackers.

Say 'please'.
I REMOVED THE PICTURE...
The guy has no sense of humour at all and I can only guess the effect it had on him seeing he has removed his avatar.
... He can call people he dislike some names like "ass", "dumb" or anything he wants but he wouldn't stand the least joke on his person in return...! So now I really wonder WHO behaves like a "Pontifex" over here.
Feel free to edit your posts and remove the picture too guys. ;)
...
If he wants to prevent more pictures being created from his avatar then I understand, but I think the pic you made was funny. It's not a offensive picture or anything.
bkev said:
edit: of all things that have been preventing me from partitioning my hard drive, it appears it was my copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special. Not sure why my computer can't move the ISO, but hey. Ended up using this guide to diagnose my problems.
Maybe your disc is Fat32 and the SW ISO was over 4GB.
Warbler said:
Darth_ender and walkingdork, you don't know the history between bingowings and myself.
Bingowings said:
If you must bring up the DAYV Cancer Thread I suggest you read it.
Holy shit, I did not see this thread coming. I read from the linked post until the end of the thread. I would never have guessed some of the people involved in this thread and the roles/sides they took. Too weird. I really have no opinion on the controversy though since I don't know how that story ended and I did not read the earlier pages, just the last half of the thread where everyone fought about it.
Warbler, I understand that the back and forth in that thread and other threads that came after have made it hard to get along with some people. And although I have been sticking up for Bingo this entire time, I will say that I agree he seems to carry a degree of dickishness at times in that thread. But all that was a year ago and I don't see Bingo doing any of that anymore. It was a heated situation, and everyone says shitty stuff in those situations. Besides I think Bingo was just trying to hold back the lynch mob if there was even the slightest possibility the man in question was innocent. Whether you decide to ignore him or not I think you need to forgive the people involved. It doesn't have to be public at all, but I think holding on to the past is only hurting you. I like you man, I hope you stick around, but you have to let go sometimes and find a way to relax.
Now let's end the drama and hug it out.

Ugh I need to set up a VPN or something. Have no idea how to go about doing it.
Anybody have some good tips for simply changing proxy settings to avoid my ISP tracking me like this?
If you are worried about getting in trouble for downloading something, the easiest thing is to only use private torrent sites (and demonoid is not a private tracker).

Yes, yes, YESSS! I laughed so hard, I probably scared the shit out of my neighbors.
I hope warbler can see that the picture is at least funny.
