It is a stupid thing to be pissed about, to be honest, it happens in every goddamn thread on the board, why should this one be any different.

    That's like insisting people watching replays in the Olympic thread not repeat what they're currently seeing because we already know how it all ends.

    Not trying to say you hate me, I'm saying you're becoming a little hateful. Look, all I'm trying to get you to do is help turn the conversation positive instead of talking about how people vented/explained why they voted the way they did. Shit, biggest hate vibes I felt coming from this thread were the responses to the responses.

    No ,but tell me!

    And I subscribe to the Tube idea; don't shit if you can't take it.
    I'd have gladly gone on the list if he had kept my nom!

    well since we are going to get your leader with TFS, every month I will take down one gay at a time.

    Redeemer is next.

    And then I will oppress the forum with heterosexuality.

    But Toxicroak can strike first and sucker punch your face with his beats, then poison your mind with his dope flow. And if you try a rap battle on him? He's got anticipation, motherfucker.

    It's not an experiment. He's playing survivor, and the only way to get us to take it seriously was to make us assume it's a perma ban.

    Tube is straight forward, what he says, he means. He's going to ban someone from that list. More precisely, he's going to ban whoever we vote for.

    He's not teaching teefs a lesson, if anything we are teaching him a lesson. He's not gauging our responses, he's not seeing how we react to having power, basically he's not doing any of the crazy theories people have been coming up with.

    He's playing a game, a game that a bunch of people are falling into.

    The reason he didn't give a firm length of time was because he wanted people to assume that it's going to be a perma ban.

    Then a bunch of you start showing your true colors. Some people saw this as a chance to get rid of someone they hate. They start attacking other forumers, saying things they probably wouldn't have said if they knew they were coming back. Some have shown that they are terribly invested in this, which is hypocritical for me to say because I love this place just as much as the next person.

    And with people assuming it's a perma ban, they take it seriously.

    With everyone taking it seriously, tube gets to laugh at all the people who are freaking out over all this trivial bullshit, which he runs. Which means he's actually controlling you to an extent. He's actually got some form of influence over your life. He's made your heart beat faster at the thought of kicking someone you hate out. He's got you sweating that for posting in this thread, you'll be banned. He's got you thinking that he's going to ban everyone but the winner.

    He is literally playing everyone on the board like a set of checkers.

    This is the coolest shit he's done.

    Its very joker-esque of him really now that you point it out like that. I knew he was having fun, But I didn't realize people were going apeshit over this.

    Anyone who takes the internet way too seriously should get banned.

    I like to think that a lot of people are pretty straight with most of the people on this forum. Not saying you're off, as I agree to an extent on the fact that there is an underlying bitchiness or whatnot, but people being open about how they feel with one another on here isn't exactly rare.

    it's interesting, because on the one hand you could argue that it's stupid for anyone to dislike people on an internet forum enough to vote for them to be banned, but at the same time how important is it that someone be allowed to continue to post?

    I think part of the reason why this is somewhat unsettling is that it kind of forces the question of "How important is this forum, truly?" into the spotlight. Or, to put it another way, "How seriously do you take this community?" Because if you don't take it seriously, and it's just fucking around and all that internet serious business etc., then you are don't care if someone gets banned. But if you actually dislike someone enough to think they OUGHT to be banned, as in it is for the good of the community, then there's a bit of a conflict there. If you take it seriously, then you think that people should not be ejected from it frivously or needlessly or viciously.

    Anyway I'll shut up now.

    Honestly I think anyone getting this riled up about who might (or might not) be banned needs to take a step back and realize it's a goddamn internet forum. We all enjoy posting for our various reasons, but I'd hope most of us have enough of a life that banning us wouldn't really upset very much. If it WOULD, reassess, kids.


    Lovely Bastard, if TFS was our leader in any way, shape, or form... I can assure you I would be a bigger fan of vagina than you can even imagine.

    No people are abstaining because they think this entire thing is retarded.

    It'd be great if those people could just say their piece once instead of bringing it up over and over

    Yes because everyone on the opposite side of the fence has done exactly the same thing.

    The people who have participated are explaining the reasons behind their votes

    Yeah and the people who brought the "anti-voting" topic back up, to so speak, are those who have just entered the thread and have chosen not to vote and are explaining why.

    And calling the voters dickbags, scum, disgusting, this is the worst of SE, etc, so yeah, it's generating a little divisiveness

    Seph: I gave my reason. On that list teefs in the person I like the least. I rarely post much in SE++, but when I bump into most of the people on that list I am entertained. Whenever I bump into teefs she's complaining about some bullshit or giving someone shit over something retarded.

    Honchkrow is in the same boat as the Croak. But he's the more rich styled rapper, whereas our Toxicroak compadre keeps it real, with the street. Honch is all about women and suits, Toxicroak is rappin bout life.

    Then Bidoof comes outta nowhere like he's on autism and starts yelling about superman and robocop and sells a million records.

    Yeah true, I suppose the fact that there isn't really that much hatred (compared to other forums I've been to) for people to be regularly stating their hatred of other people regularly means that I notice the bitchiness more.
