Thanks. Coo, yeah, gets suspended for a month, comes back, lasts two days before getting suspended again. Yeah, that's some genius troll work. All that had passed me by, it occurred during my self-imposed holiday from the board.

Troll work? I don't think he is trolling at all.

Neither Scot Duchy's nor DaveDodo's opinions are particularly sensible to put it mildly, but being given warnings for them is just more demonstration for me that ratskep is run by a bunch of out of control prefects with swagger sticks. Even if I did agree with some of the weirder aspects of the increasingly Byzantine forum rules, the arbitrary interpretation and selective application of them stinks to high heaven. To me that forum reminds me of Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, but with this difference: Here the good guys are kicking the shit out of the arseholes any which way they can.

It's only because Dave said stuff about being a troll that I mentioned it.

Oh, alright.

To be honest, I'm pretty good at forgetting whatever it is that Dave and Scott say. There is a limit to RAM available, and their crap isn't worth storing on the HD.

:hehe: Yeah...it's just I was surprised to see Dave eagerly anticipating the end of his suspension and gearing up to be the troll that ratskep needs because I don't remember much about him, then I saw what he'd got suspended for and well...I think I've possibly trolled better than he has at times during my 4 years there and I'm not even a troll.

Excuse me for going off at a tangent now. It's kind of fun - in a train wreck sort of way - to watch banned or suspended members of ratskep piling in here and obsessing about that evil forum. It's not so much fun observing how those outcasts, be they permanent or temporary, change the ambience of Rationalia for the worse by continuing with the style of behaviour for which they were banned or suspended over there.

I dunno, tantrums are funny, when you're not personally involved. Specially from across the road.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Yeah, I agree. If you defend an unpopular position vigorously and refuse to concede "defeat" merely because others think they have "won" the debate. Then they get upset if you don't accept their specious logic and self-serving and irrational arguments, and when you challenge their preconceptions and their ideology with logical arguments that they don't happen to agree with.

That's what happened to me. I wouldn't toe the party line and roll over which pissed people off so they had to call me a "troll" to get rid of me even though I wasn't trolling, I was just defending my position.

Was there a joke in there then? Just looked like a teenager bragging about how totes amay they are on the internet from here.
Yeah I'm a middle aged man and so I'm going to troll a nerd site. :roll: How did you manage to be born in such a wonderful city and still be a knob. :dunno:

And, Fallible, yes, it's pretty quiet about these parts lately. We've sprung a slow leak, seems. A bit more outgoing than incoming. Need to get Ratz Marketing on it, except that there is no Ratz Marketing...
Can't stand 'douche canoe', it's just trying too hard.

Shame it's slowed down round here, it used to be so lively and great for a lurk and a giggle.
We may be on our last legs, but what other forum could come up with the glorious thread: "1001 uses for Dries van Tonder's erect penis"?
Sounds more like a death knell. Not to worry as I have started drinking again and my suspension is coming to an end at ratskep. I'm not the troll rationalia needs right now, though ratz need their faith and loose bowels rewarded. Nor does it want a troll but I am the troll, I'm the troll ratskep deserves, the watchful troll, the silent troller, the dark troll. :drunk: :cheers: :dance: :Erasb: :irate: :ab: :demon: :plot: :zombie: :nervous: :yes:
Get a fucking life.
Is humour (even shite humour) no longer allowed by ratskeptions. This thread was to take the piss out of you ratskep joyless, ideologues, anti-free speech tossers, self important retarded wankstains and here you are sucking all the oxygen out of the thread. You are all a bunch of circle jerking, echo chamber, yes people. Rationalia will outlast ratscum by a country mile because the people you try to silence will just go somewhere else and mock you. Oh and fuck off. :dance:

They still are and as feisty as ever, the woman at Rationalia are on a different astral plane; I have been torn a new one in arguments with both Bella and Rachel but all you get at ratskep is reported for hurt fee fees when I show them up to be dipshites and make them embarrassed for their stupid opinions.

Never mind, Dave, if you really knuckle down and study hard, I'm sure you'll catch up eventually.

When did you get over your hurt fee fees and hold an opinion that wasn't stupid?

You owe me another irony meter, Dave.

Yeah, and some are crustier than others. Present company excluded, of course. :biggrin:

But it can't be true that the greatest women were here because Scot said that there used to be some great ones at Ratskep, and as we all know, he's never wrong. Ever, about anything.
I have this same query. I'd love to know who these Great Women were. I struggle to think of many women he didn't piss off big time but there must be some. He said so.
I am given to understand that Maiforpeace was the bee's knees


:leave:
I think that is the nearest I would ever come to understand the whole trigger warning stuff, it is like an old memory suddenly surfaced and she lost it. She just seemed to be the typical ratz member then when the A+ stuff come out she totally changed. I never met her in real life just on here, she ended up being banned from the A+ forums (quelle surprise.) I personally hope she comes back here, she will get as much support as an online community can give, which unfortunately isn't very much. She will find us welcoming and not so rabid as we make out (our bark is worse then our bite aka we don't bite.)
