I got EOEO banned awhile back for making "lambs" references with regards to George Bush voters, and that wasn't nearly so inflamatory. It's hardly one-sided.

Being prettymuch the only other conservative at this forum that I've noticed, I've seen it too. I'm usually pretty sarcastic anyway, so I'll come back in debates with smartass comments, but I shy away from direct attacks and insults on specific people. Having been called a "racist" and "homophobe" too many times to count by now, I've almost begun thinking that petty insults of the like aren't an issue and are allowed here.
I get it. So if he said "I THINK Hunter S. Thompson should be...and here's why" or perhaps "Do you think Hunter S. Thompson should be...like I do?" then it would have been alright? It's already been shown that referring to "dumbass soccer moms" and "those bastards are just racist" is perfectly acceptable, as well as "I hope everybody who supports this issue gets shot and dies". It just seems to some of us that the line is drawn a bit to the left.
We wouldn't have been any less vindictive towards a liberal's graceless anti-Pope thread right after that guy died than we were towards a conservative's graceless anti-Thompson thread following his death.
I would test that statement, but it's been days since that Pope guy died.
Wait til the next pope dies then
If GWB dies from choking on a pretzel this coming Super Bowl I will test it out on him.
First, let's acknowledge that he got the name wrong, he was referring to the guy that overdosed while talking in a chat room. Some of the people in the chat room were egging him on, some were begging him to stop or call somebody, and he kept doing it, and he died. His last words, as stated earlier in this thread, were "I told u I was hardcore". Whereas the Pope is the leader of more than a billion Catholics, an advocate for human rights and peace, and a man loved and respected even by those outside his religion. There's a bit of a difference, wouldn't you say?Originally Posted by Kawaii Ryűkishi
And, again, as has been pointed out, it's been a short time since the Pope died.
But did he even make that point to an administrator or a CK? He could have pm'ed them pleading his case, but as far as I can tell he didn't. That excuse is invalid.First, let's acknowledge that he got the name wrong, he was referring to the guy that overdosed while talking in a chat room.

Notice I said an anti-Thompson thread and not an anti-"i told u i was hardcore" thread. I have no idea why anyone would be making a thread about that kid, anyway. He died years ago.
And now that I think about it, it's pretty crazy that anyone would ever confuse that kid with Hunter S. Thompson, of all people, anyway. That's like confusing some random person named Selma Baker in the local obituaries with Pat Benatar.
Pat Benatar died?
Take care all.
Exactly.
This is one confusing thread.
Good on ya, everybody.
SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
Again, as was pointed out, he was banned before he got the chance to change it. I don't know what all he was banned from, so I can't tell you if he could or why he didn't point it out to somebody, but chances are he probably wouldn't have been able to do anything about it anyway.
If Brandon Vega died years ago, why would somebody even make the connection between him and the Pope?
If you're banned from Eoeo, like he was, you can still use pms. If you're banned from the forums you can still view them if you log out, and find an admin's or mod's AIM or MSN or whatever name. If you were a really big dick and they ip banned you, you could still go into chat and contact one of the staff in there.
And get off the pope thing, you've missed the point entirely.
He was only banned from EoEO and WE. He was not banned from any other forums, nor was his use of PMs disabled. Basically, "it's a little late now."Again, as was pointed out, he was banned before he got the chance to change it.
