Godot 149 Posted October 13, 2007 Houston, I have a problem. Having put BS on ignore, I have noticed that my shitomatic software is detecting serious drivel contamination in frequent guest postings. Unfortunately the shitomatic is not sophisticated enough to sift out all drivel. Now it informs me that my drivel absorption capacity is overloading, leading to dangerously high levels in my system and frequent sense of humour failures. I'm noticing high readings in other posters too. If these chronic symptoms persist, death by drivel is inevitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted October 13, 2007 I assume when Banshees started this topic he spelt 'remarkable' incorrectly on purpose? If not, if he indeed IS 'remakable', could he remake himself into someone who's not a tit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted October 13, 2007 Thanks for your PM Banshees, unfortunately I still can't make head nor tail of whether it should have been 'remarkable' or 'remakable', and my earlier mammary-like sentiments have been confirmed, not that any more evidence was actually needed.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,221 Posted October 13, 2007 Banshees. Of course, we cannot ban you, and we like to abide by the (unwritten) DL rules and the concept of forum democracy. It's just that many of us (I can't speak for all, of course) wish you would do us (and yourself) a massive favour and leave us alone, not just for a few days before returning as a witty guest poster, but forever. There must be something else you can find to do with your tawdry little life than bug us with your cod philosophy and petty racist/sexist views on everything under the sun? I might be speaking out of turn, and I know many members value you as some kind of amusing whipping boy, but surely the response you receive in chat must tell even a rhino-hided (?) dimwit like you that it's time to vamos. You have nothing whatsover of interest to communicate, and the vast majority of your posts involve backbiting at slights, perceived or otherwise. LFN, I leave the floor to you. Leave the floor to me Harry? I think you have done a pretty damn good job of summing up the general consensus that Mr BS is an unwanted knobhead. I feel that, so long as this forum exists, so will he. I do feel most sorry for the female members here, who seem to attract his attention the way a cows arse attracts a fly. He is the most reviled, the most ignored, the most disliked and the most mocked humanoid within the Northern Hemisphere YET he keeps coming back for more. You have to secretly admire the fact that with a brain the size of a small boil, he manages to function at all. Ive given up, I dont even get anything out of taking the piss anymore, its like firing sponge balls at a Tank, pointless and not worth the effort. Ignore him, thats what im doing.

And that, LB, is the whole point of BS. As soon as he knew you were female, he was in like a shot. God help any new member who hints that they may have a vagina.

Godot 149 Posted October 13, 2007 Banshees.

LFN, I leave the floor to you. He is the most reviled, the most ignored, the most disliked and the most mocked humanoid within the Northern Hemisphere YET he keeps coming back for more. I knew this would happen. It's like the scene in A Clockwork Orange when Alex and the rest of the droogs put the boot in to the defenceless old tramp. You know how it goes: "Well, well, well! Well if it isn't fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarble, ya eunuch jelly thou!" etc. You have said it yourselves, it is no good trying to run him out of town. Perhaps he can reform. I have given young Banshees' some handy tips from the Book of Godot that has a section on the treatment of women and minorities. As a man of the cloth (I come from a textile town) I no longer have any stomach for the "lashings of the old ultraviolence" in this and other threads. If the boy can discover some sense of proportion in his posting I think that there can be hope yet of redemption. If the silly guest posts are abandoned I, for one, am prepared to cut him some slack. In the meantime there is that handy ignore button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 13, 2007 'What was he on?' He's currently 'on' nearly 700 page views, Honez is the only one remotely close with over 500 and nobody else is anywhere near that. Is there some kind of mutual page view appreciation society gannin' on between the two of them or does BS's personal page contain secret coded information to pre-fixed bets? Not quite accurate mpfc, there are a few of us floating around the 500 view mark, check this menu to see, change the box from 'member name' to 'profile views' and change 'ascending order' to 'descending order', the profile views also include the no. of times you have clicked on other members profiles, unavoidable if you send PM's.

In the meantime there is that handy ignore button. All logical and fair comments. I do feel, however, that all of the above would, no doubt, have some bearing if he was 12 years old ( he has made it clear that he is very much an "Adult" ) but BS isnt. Trying to reform BS is a bit like asking a member of the British National Party to put up a few Somalian asylum seekers for a bit. PS: Godot, old chap, you are not the only one who has tried to steer him in the right direction regarding women and minorities. It hasnt worked, has it.

Gunjaman5000 32 Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Wasn't it Michael Barrymore who said "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about"? Ignore him, thats what im doing. Well done LFN! Please stop adding fuel to the fire, our poor demented colleague will be loving all this attention. Edit: Here's the PM I got twenty minutes later. Make sense to anyone? Fire never burning out, Today, 09:24 PM Gunjy In life everybody has a different perspective and everybody has a different genius so - to speak. Everybody has different standards and everybody has been affected differently by concepts of the world and our nature. The bottom line is I I post stupidity and I post like a schmuck, when people deserve to be treated that way. That is what it comes down too, I just can't sit back and let people antagonize me who are just plain wrong to begin with. I've sent out several PM's today to members who I feel need to hear it. Attention is not the issue, it's the bullshit people dictate. Take that scum bag 'Fellatio Nelson' for example I hope you get the picture. It's just a forum that I spend my spare time in, but when I'm here I'll lay down the law. Enjoy ' -BS Edited October 13, 2007 by Gunjaman5000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pooka 26 Posted October 14, 2007 I'm sort of with Godot here. The DL has a tendency to run eccentrics or attention-seekers out of town (Lady Clarissa Richmond, for example). Consequently, the list then becomes a bit dull. Banshee's English is hopeless, his thinking, at its best, is tangential and his put-downs are accessible only to himself. Yet his work has a compelling delusional grandeur. I always look for his contributions and will miss him if he opts to barricade himself into the redneck fortress of fantasy that is BS world. Am I alone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 14, 2007 The bottom line is I I post stupidity and I post like a schmuck, when people deserve to be treated that way.

Captain Oates 21 Posted October 14, 2007 I go along with The Pooka (but please don't bring back LCR!) and would not like to see BS excluded. I find some of his critics much more tedious!

If what Windsor says about threats to abuse personal ID information is correct, then that problem needs to be dealt with separately. For somebody who is both respected and a long standing member here, im a little suprised at your naivety. Maybe you do find some of his critics much more tedious, some of his "victims" may question your priorities. Personal abuse and stalking are probably two of his best known attributes. Dealing with those matters seperately doesnt really cut the mustard. On any other forum the guy would have been out on hs arse, fortunately for him, this isnt like any other forum. All in all, he stays, not through his popularity but because people are loathed to ban anybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All in all, he stays, not through his popularity but because people are loathed to ban anybody. If the problem is as serious as you contend, my priority would be to sort out the real problem i.e. the abuse. If I have understood it correctly, this takes place mainly in PMs and in chat. The solution therefore lies in those areas. If DL software isn't sufficiently sophisticated to work around those problems (remove the ability to PM, lock out of chat), then an unsophisticated ban would be in order - but for ABUSE not for the quality of poetry or spelling or eccentricity of syntax or just being stoned whilst posting. A couple of substantiated complaints to the boss could do it. If the management doesn't respond, then a complaint to the host/server/local police might have some persuasive power. Deal with the real problem, if that can be proven to exist, and the other matter will vanish - or more likely, attention will shift to some other poor bugger instead!

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted October 14, 2007 his work has a compelling delusional grandeur What, the stuff we post here is 'work?'. f**k, I may have to reconsider my position, or summat. I'd be a raving hypocrite if - as one who regularly fillms the CD changer in the car with Wild Man Fischer, Wesley Willis and other compelling delusionals - I joined the chorus of clamour for the banishing of the Banshee. I mean, we don't have to respond or rise to the bait and it's an internet forum, so it's not like he's coming round and eating our biscuits or owt, is it?

Its probably the nearest thing that Banshee's has to work. I believe that Wild Man Fischer is now dead - having led an unillustrious final 3 decades. Had this not been the case i could have believed that he had become a demented and delusional Deathlister of our acquaintance, based in New York.

Am I alone? I disagree Pooka, LCR is/was an exception to the rule. Most 'novelty' posters only hang around to visit and or annoy for a short time, the unusual thing about LCR was that she hung around long enough for her annoyanceness to get to the point where members felt some help was needed to point out which direction in which she should fcuk off. On the other hand I would say whoever is behind Banshees is a genius. The 'Banshees' character is extraordinarily consistent, his "pseudo-cabalistic clap-trap" (as Notapotato once splendidly put it) is as indecipherable as ever. The marginal improvement of his spelling is a subtle indicator of the fraud, although lately Banshees has added xenophobia to his arsenal, which has provided another tiny chink in the facade. Offensive enough to provoke reply, but not enough to necessitate banishment. The only thing worse than being talked about behind your back... I'm starting to think Banshees has the same writers as Ken Barlow, as the consistency of his character over such a long period is nothing short of astonishing. Hail Banshees, King of Trolls!!!

deadsox 894 Posted October 15, 2007 Personally I sort of enjoy BS's posts. I often disagree with him but why should we all agree? The members who are getting all lathered up about him are hard for me to understand. In a forum like this, diversity of opinion is something to be encouraged. If you have a serious problem with his posts, don't read them. The idea of banning someone just because you don't like their opinions is also rather foreign to me. I really think, as some of the comments next to avatars say, that some of our members "really need to get a life". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
