When did you make a joke, Arnox?  All I see is some lame attempt to make fun of Wunderkind, after which ivan gave you a litle virtual slap.

FROM: V.

Do you guys really and truly NOT get an Evonus vibe off of this guy?  I mean, the lame attempts at provocation are deja vu for me.

  Ditto. He was ( a little bit) funny when he was whining about the Tech Forum and his post count as BizB kept deleting his posts. Those days
 are long gone, and he has nothing now. He's not amusing at all; BizB was. I keep *not* banning him trying to be lenient; but he's really
 starting to annoy me.
 Subjugate, if desired. I believe I will (if you don't) pretty soon.

  He is. But he was doing his passive-aggressive oblique insult instigation technique a la ex-member "Evonus". He was another who constantly irritated the hell out of everyone; but for some reason didn't get banned for a while. Kinda like the stupid soldier who just -by chance- misses all the bullets on D-Day.
  IIRC, it was so bad even ivan left here for a while because no one would ban Evonus, and he was really *that* annoying.

First, how did I know that ivan deleting my comments was a slap? You guys delete my comments all the freaking time even if they are totally innocent and pointless! I think I've been pretty nice about that sort of thing. Another thing. Why didn't you give me a warning instead of flat out banning me from the chatbox? Pretty uncalled for, I'd say. Now I won't deny I get out of hand sometimes in the 'box but come on!

Yeah,  Evonus... I was stupid to let him get to me like that.

Arnox isn't as bad. But the same question remains: why does he want to hang around a place where he gets so much grief? Surely there are forums out there where he is appreciated.

I have not deleted any of your comments. I did not ban you from anywhere.

What comment did you make that was deleted?

  YOU don't have any other option in that regard. Who the hell do you think you are here? This is exactly the sort of attitude Ves is talking about.
 Popping off comments like you're "somebody" here; and it's acceptable for you to say whatever you want. Then you act all offended when someone smacks
 you in the mouth.
   Arnox, you are NOT funny, you are not friends with anyone here, and you offer absolutely NOTHING to this community but hassle. You'd better square your
 shit away fast and start contributing to the community in a positive fashion. I'm about done with you, and I believe others here are as well.

Arnox is still around because I found him amusing, and I admire people who actually make an effort and stick around a forum even when they get the kind of shit that has been dished out to him.

However, (and I'm looking at you, Arnox), that said, that only goes so far.

EDIT:  Also.  I know Arnox is the one who started this thread.  But continued discussion between mods about whether or not to ban a member should be taken to the Mod's Corner, and communication with said member should be done via private messages, not discussed in public.  Thanks.

Obviously, that doesn't apply to spammers.
