Can we ban people who start 'Bush is a Lizard' type threads?

    Seriously, I know we're supposed to be tolerant of people's views here on boards, but there's a ridiculous amount of threads kicking off with very simple individuals at the helm, trying to convince the public that they have concrete evidence of Shape-Shifting-Lizard-People(tm) running the world through some bizarre New World Order. Can we just this once ban anyone who believes this sort of nonsense? Pretty please? With sugar on?

    Where?

    I agree completely...

    The mods need to do a better job in covering up the truth about our lizard masters.

    And I, for one, welcome......

    well if we ban the conspiracy theory morons, what about the paranormal forum? or the personal issues forum, or the celebrity/showbiz forum.



    we need these people around to show us just how much better we are than them

    I think a bullet to the head would be a much better idea but that's just me.

    I think these are funny. Reminds me of Kent Brockman from the simpsons...

    'I for one welcome our new insect overlords and will help in shparding individuals to work in their sugar mines'

    Ban people who don't read other people's reply and then just repeat what's already been said.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,238 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Or we could ban people who don't read the thread and just repeat what was said

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I think I'd prefer to see the retards who make the "How many times a day do you take a sh1t", "Ways to fart in work undetected", "How many times do you wipe your arse" etc threads banned, or sterilised.

    Look at the guy beside you and then say something like 'You smelly bastard'. Then everyone will think he did it.

    Depends on the clean up operation needed. Todays was pretty bad.

    Only a very worried lizard would try and get lizard-threads banned. I think that all boardsie members should provide a certified DNA sample - and a photo.

    Ned has always struck me as a lizard person. He licks his lips quite a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    I am worried about the lizard menace, whom should i contact?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭Jack Sheehan


    Should there just be a separate 'lizard forum' where they can just get it out of their system?

    Report to lizardfudge for brain-washing.

    There already is one.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=52

    But seriously should we just move all these threads to the pets and animals forum?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Poor Alan Greenspan would be banned if that were the case :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭Jack Sheehan


    I wonder did Richard Attenborough ever do a documentary on Lizard people, are they an endangered species? Are we destroying their natural habitat so they have to flee to High up government positions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,141 ✭✭✭eoin5


    The Lizard people vs The Crab People, thats what I want to see.

    The only lips I lick are your ma's :D

    That'd rock even more. For each 'serious' Lizard thread, it should be moved to the Pets forum, where people can discuss the types of bugs that someone considering feeding a pet George W Bush iguana should stock up on. They'd go mental, or in the case of people who believe in Lizard people ... more mental.

    Is that even possible?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭pretty-in-pink


    lol,

    ah lizard people. what next, the great realisation that certain winged creatures are deeply embroiled in a plan for a bloody coup?

    (he he, yes that was on purpose)

    Incidently, crows(or was it magpies?) can count ;)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    they can have a sense for quantities up to... four I think, maybe five... but they don't count.

    yet ;)

    yeah they can see that 4 people are near the bread, and won't go to the bread till 4 people leave- even if there are 6 people. Its a start though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    I think a bullet to the head would be a much better idea but that's just me.

    For whom? The people who create the threads or the lizzards?

    New World Order? Weren't they a hippidy hop band from the early 90's?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    enough's enough, i've had it with these motherfu(king lizards in my motherfu(king government

    How is the world worse off if Bush were a shape shifting lizard alien thing trying to subvert the world VS a stupid Human trying to subvert the world?

    Wow, say that 3 times fast. That's OK, Bush can't do that either.

    Good idea, but only if we can get St Patrick to mod it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭digitally-yours


    I support free speech.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.That opinion should be respected.

    I have no problem with "Bush" threads.

    Can we not just ban Bush?
    (Queue, bad taste joke)

    Yeah, it's pretty annoying alright especially if you accidently wander into the Conspiracy Theories forum- some guys started following me around Boards for a few weeks after I wandered in:eek:

    Hey, I feel slightly victimised now, I started a 'Bush is a Lizard' thread in Conspiricy Theories, but it was an obvious tounge in cheek post....

    *looks about with shifty eyes........could be shapeshifter anywhere!!* :p

    Can we just castrate them instead? We may have to endure them but at least we save our children from them.
