Surely posting crap like this is enough to get me banned right? Whistler???

/me fails.

I guess I'm just not cut out to be evil.

And yes Whistler I was semi serious. I would not object to getting banned from the forums at all. I would have much more free time in the evenings ;-)

If you want to get banned, you can do it. Hint: you're linking to the wrong video site.

Also, This is your brain on religeon? Apparently this was Fluffer's brain on too much retard.

This isn't worthy of a ban, Fluffy. And while I don't have the powers to ban anyone, everyone has the power to give this the response it deserves.

The red squad should be arriving shortly to take you away.

Yeah, religeon. It's sort of like a pigeon, but instead of carrying mail it sacrifices goats.

Neat. I want one.

I don't remember anyone having been banned from the forums, ever. This may mean that I am less observant about such things as forum members going quiet all of a sudden with no apparent reason.

A few people have been temporarily banned or muted, which impacts both the game and the forum. It's been a few years since we've done either so far as I know. That all may change if people continue to be asshats, but I would hate to have the devs expend valuable time on coding extra stuff just to deal with behavior.

...Isn't the reason we have guides so that the devs don't have to expend valuable time on behaviour?

The tools are crude at best, as Incarnate has pointed out.

Ah crap. Its too late. My need to troll is creeping into other forums. If only you had banned me in the Nobel Peace thread. You could have stopped me Whistler.

Its too late now though. My need to troll has spread too far. There soon won't be a media outlet safe from my opinionated asinine expressions. Youtube today. Facebook tomorrow. The next day a relentless stream of mindless tweets! Muahahahahahahahaahahahahahahh

Why oh Why? Some day people will look back at this time in history and say if Whistler had stopped him. Oh if only Whistler had stopped him, we wouldn't be having to listen to this bs!

Um... okay. In my opinion, people have the right to be idiots, just so long as it doesn't in fringe on anyone else's rights. You can post retarded crap if you want, and I am free to not click on it because it's stupid.

Maybe we'll all luck out and you'll get hit by a speeding bus, Fluffer.

/me gives Lecter a Christian Side Hug.

In fact, I think I'll make a new character in VO called "Christian Side Hug". That video is so uncomfortably awesome that I shall have to do so.

Question: What was awesome in it? I found it terrible.
Dec 12, 2009 Death Fluffy link
It is awesome in its awfulness. To start with, gangsta rap to promote xianity? Complete with gunshots, sirens and a drive by at the end that kills everyone? And somehow this is going to instill the message that young men must remain pure by never hugging anyone frontally? Child abuse by the mother beating her son into a coma for giving a frontal hug?

It was spectacularly horrible. Which is why I felt I should inflict it here.

I have an honest question for you, Fluffy. Your horribly spelled thread title: "This is your brain on [religion]". What is it that you are trying to prove here? Is the purpose of this to illustrate the absurdity of organized religion? If so, then this is genuinely offensive (not bannably so, that would be stupid). Or were you just trying to be clever? It's completely insipid if that is the case.
Dec 12, 2009 Death Fluffy link
Honest answer.

I cannot spell for shit. Unfortunately the forum spell check does not appear to work for titles and so far as I can tell cannot be edited.

There are multiple reasons why I posted the link here. First off, I proudly consider myself to be a leading VO troll. As to showing the absurdity of Religion, while I admit to considering religion absurd, this video would be a poor demonstration to argue from as it is representative of only a minute subgroup of religious people. In fact a significant portion of the flack this video earned came from xians.

So the reason I posted this video was because I found it hilarious and absurd. I thought certain folk here might get a laugh out of it as well. And if there happened to be some super sensitive xians around that took offense, then bonus points for me.

Also, I consider it a commentary about how mindless adherence to any creed or belief system opens to the door to mind numbingly stupid beliefs and behaviors. Luckily, this one just happens to be innocent, funny and harmless. Hence the title.

Edit: Oddly enough Lecter, my plan for dying is to go out like a bug on a windshield. Just plain Splat. No visit to the ER, no medications or life support, just plain Splat.
