I'm Back.

Recommended Posts

I'd be pleased if this was the real Mike, and that he was allowed back. I don't agree with his viewpoints much but it's bush league to ban people that don't really deserve it.

 

Meh. Im better off without INXS.

 

EDIT:

 

A post announcing a triumphiant return with insults?

 

Seems Eddie Winslow, not Mike.

If Mike was allowed back then I hope they would just confine him to the CE folder and not allow him to go around shitting on things he has no clue what-so-ever about. I don't pay enough attention to politics to rightfully say he knows nothing on that subject. If anything all I know is that Bush has fucked this country up and set the economy back big time.

On the Bush points above: correct and incorrect.

 

Mike wasn't banned for "no good reason." It was the same reason we banned Anglesault. If he was involved in a thread, then it was guaranteed to turn into endless arguing within a page and a half.

There's more to it than that. Remember when I cracked the Eddie Winslow code?

No.

 

Go on...I think.

That's a pretty bad reason.

When discussion gets absolutely nowhere and turns into (in Mike's case anyway) ad hominem tactics, it's a sound bannable offense. Take that shit to a chatroom or something if you're going to be stubborn and unreasonable.

It takes two people to cause that.

And anyone who says that likes to ignore that shit has to start somewhere. The catalyst doesn't need to cause trouble in the first place. You sure do love sticking up for people with very few redeemable qualities.

Mike could be an asshole, but I don't think people should be banned because they're not very nice.

 

It's very easy to ignore someone, if you don't want to go at it with them.

But you also can't allow a single person to pull down the quality of a place and drive away potential members or cause current members to cut back on their activity. "How many people really stopped posting here because of Mike?" Probably not many if any, but how many people said on a consistent basis that they avoided Current Events because of him, or couldn't enjoy the TNA forum anymore? It wasn't just him anyway, because if humans have taught me anything in my 22 years on this rock it's that no matter how stupid or flawed a person or idea, people will align themselves with it. Proto-Mikes and Anglesault supporters wouldn't help their cases, because it would no longer be, as other apologists like to say, "two people arguing when one person could easily stop," but it becomes an entire group of people, which is much more difficult to avoid. The idea that a person and their figurative cronies should be given free passes to put a damper on others' enjoyment of a place or pursuit because "you can just ignore them" is stupid and only allows things to get worse. What's funny is that most of the people who advocate Mike sticking around under the "ignore him" principle are the ones who call someone an advocate of appeasement when they disagree with them about foreign policy.

Kotz, I don't disagree with you, I just need to point out that, in my mind:

 

1. If one poster can so diminish the quality of a place, the place didn't have much quality to begin with. It's not like this is a utopic message board without Mike. The idiots that make asinine comments and then are unable to back them up are doing more damage to the intelligence of this board than Mike ever did. (the WWE folder is full of them)

2. If people really do avoid threads, folders or the board in general because of one person, I don't think that we'd really miss them as posters. I personally avoid the CE folder, but it's not because of Mike or anyone else. I just don't think a wrestling message board is the place that I want to go and have political conversations.

people have been referring to Leena as Mike over here for sometime now, something about them sharing an account or something similarly silly...for someone that everyone seems to hate so much, he sure does come up a lot over here.

No kidding! I mean, people never talk about people they don't like.
