kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 This isn't MikeSC -- there's not enough quote tags.
CanadianGuitarist Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 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.
Failed Bridge Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 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.
Art Sandusky Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 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.

The Czech Republic Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 While back, I figured out that all Eddie's posts follow a series of linked insults often pertaining to homophobia and sports teams. I made a whole big post about it but I don't wanna dig it up
Slayer Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 Thankfully I'm here to pick up the ball when Czech refuses to run with it
Special K Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 He didn't call anyone a dolt, nincompoop, ignoramus, or simpleton. : (

Art Sandusky Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 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.
CanadianGuitarist Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 The Mike gimmicker has been banned it seems, upon a quick viewing of his posts. A quadruple post!

Take that shit to a chatroom or something if you're going to be stubborn and unreasonable. It takes two people to cause that.

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.
Special K Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 It takes two people to cause that. When you calls me an ignoranus, me can't let that shit go.
bob_barron Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 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.
Art Sandusky Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 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.
Special K Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 The Pit Politics forum is a slaughterhouse.
nl5xsk1 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 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. " 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.
godthedog Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 i'm curious about this pit. somebody link me up.
Black Lushus Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Mike goes on and on about TSM TSM goes on and on about Mike is that better?
Failed Bridge Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Mike hadn't been mentioned for awhile until this terrible gimmik was born.
Black Lushus Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 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. ..... Never, ever, ever, ever, ever.
