By ned_ballad Go To PostBenji not being banned always made me keep on my toes when posting historical stuff, because if I was wrong, he'd write a small essay about why I was wrong and what actually happened with a bunch of links and stuff.
By Fenderputty Go To PostRight. He trolled too close to the sun at time, but an overall great poster though. Anyone bringing that much content to the table makes those around them more complete.
By Jonm Go To PostBenji ultimately got permed though. Took his talents to The Bore and offhanded historical allegories have never been the same.
By G Shumy Go To PostHA! That dude WAS bore and spent his time egging shit on for their entertainment forever. His ban was a shock to plenty, considering how long it was known by moderation there and the rest of us who frequented..I've been THERE and HERE long before I ever had a single ban from NeoGAF.com. NBA-GAF getting done dirty is what originally truly cast me out to fill better places with endless garbage content regularly. I never hung around here since it deserved better and I wasn't man enough to see it evolve beyond NBA-GAF. (Though weirdly I never even went back to the new NBA-GAF even to take a look after one time.)
Being facetious is not the same thing as being sarcastic nor is it trolling. The fact that some users and moderators lived in such a bubble that they could only conceive of foreign viewpoints as a deliberate long con of secretively planned trolling is their own fault. I've always posted the same way everywhere and those who truly kept a paranoid eye on The Bore as a whole would know that.
As a side note: The Bore is so progressive that they keep me around as a token minority to show their social justice bonafides. (Also I bribe the moderators.)
Apologies to relio and others, but people were speaking well of me and I could not let that stand. Not in the #ResetEra!
