    Friends, brothers, countrymen! HEar mine pleease!

    I haz been unjustly and fascistly banned by the evil "Myth" for merely expressing my opinion on teh internetz. This is ridiculous! I thought boards.ie had free speech and all that jazz!!! I demand retribution! Rise up with me, my brothers in arms.. RRRAAAARRRGGGHHHHH... >_<.

    I think it is no exaggeration to say that Myth is, in fact, the second coming of Hitler, based on this, and other (go find them yourself, I'm not going to waste my time copying and pasting) blatant power trips. I mean, what did I do wrong exactly?
    http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055223521

    my posts were clearly helpful and discussing assurance.. I can't even think what post might have been misconstrued as abusive. And then he didn't answer my PM today, pleading my drunkenness!! This was 10 whole minutes ago! This will not stand! I demand full reinstatement of all my grants.ie access, subscriber status, a hard boiled egg, five minutes alone with rb_ie (hey, his name looks like a face..) aaanndd.... a shrubbery.

    Thank you for answering my call to revolution, boards.ie.

    Clearly you have been severely wronged, and should receive a written apology, compensation in the order of millions of euro, and a knighthood for the good deed you were trying to perform at the time of this, the greatest injustice since the last greatest injustice ever.

    Ban well deserved tbh, but at least you've a sense of humour.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 42,362 Mod ✭✭✭✭Beruthiel


    You hinted at the extermination of the OP's parents, that's a bannin'
    never mind the personal abuse afterwards....

    I agree, but it doesn't look like he had a sense of humour in that thread. :rolleyes:

    You can't really complain about the ban - but I completely see why you posted what you did. The post you quoted in your swan-song was a self-contained travesty.

    Don't see much wrong with the whole life 'insurance' thing either. The OP wasn't bothered by it!

    That's a well earned ban. I'd take this guy's advice if I were you...

    You should stay away from the Microwave & Time Machine forum.

    I think the question is why are we not all drunk at 11am on a Wednesday morning?.

    The post that had him banned was late last night. This morning was his PM defending his drunkenness. That's what I got from it anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    Totally justified.

    Funny as all hell tho..

    Fight Tha Powah!!!

    You are completely right. All you did was call her a "****ing idiot", say she shouldnt have the right to free speech and tell her to "**** off"!!!

    OP: If you're being persecuted it's probably because you're too passive. This stuff about all mods being nazi oppressors is just a myth.

    It would be too easy to capitalize on that... so im just going to quote it to highlight its own irony :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Out and out abuse, ban justified.

    And if Myth is the nearest to Hitler redux you ever meet, you will be very damn lucky!

    That said ... the post before yours would raise my temperature too.

    Someone around here (might have been nesf) used to say that sometimes when you really feel the overwhelming need to call it as you see it, then it may be worth it to just do it, take the ban on the chin, and move on.

    Good advice in this case, imo.

    Yeah, that's generally what I do *looks sheepishly at collection of minor & temporary bans from various corners of boards, and pile of infractions in the corner*

    I know the ban was justified, and I'm not actually appealing it... To anyone who missed that. Good day to you, good sirs!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,817 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Sober now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭passive


    Offended by the very suggestion.
