4Life... What to do?
Guy went crazy at TOS. His rant was deleted by admin, but I saved it in the TOS Discussion" Thread. Page 8.
He's attacked everyone here, admins specifically.
I do not want to ban him, but I'd like to put a deactivation on his account.
It's temporary, but his user is a known Internet troll.
But I'm going to put it to a vote. I'm requiring 2/3 Majority.
I will act after the basketball game. Unless he spams, then I'm deactivating.
Yes, deactivate.
No, keep as activated.

Bravo.
I suggest - as ghostwhitehorse implies - let's dance so we can remember the time when Cyberbullies tried to spew utter garbage all over the GOAZCAT community. Is it a coincidence he chose a song about drug abuse and arabic musical notes in the background? The world may never know. But it's a point that he choose that music knowing full well I'm jewish and proud of it during a serious discussion. The difference between jokers and real posters is that real posters know when things are serious. Hence, why so serious? is Joker's motto. These guys are jokers. And with jokers, and their victims like Elliot Rodgers, doing real damage in society, do we want GOAZCAT to turn into the next PUAHATE or muscle building forums? Think about it. Think about the legal issues for the admin might have to deal with. Families suing in civil courts, etc. Why? Because the forum has turned into complete bigoted, anti-religious, anti-intellectual, non-sense, back-patting, cyber bullying machine lead by people who in their own mind where legends? Why should the admin support that? What value is there in that?
To have a recruit, say Ivan Rabb, not come here because he's see's the cyber bullies intimidating every other Cat fan with a brain? If anything, that's a major negative. Do we not hold ourselves as UofA fans and alumi alike, to a higher standard?
This group has been particularly nasty to religious people, calling them all forms of names, from dumb to insane. So if anyone were to be reading 80,000+ posts of biotry and lack of intellectual thought - What is he to think? Why is no one speaking out? Why is the conversation so dumb? It may seem petty to JMJ, but how would we all feel if we lost some prized recruit over something such as a message board?
Is that so selfish to say? If it is, it does not hurt me to say it.
The point is, the internet has real consequences in the real world - but no amount of telling them them to stfu and sit down helps. That is a common theme running from this group of Jokers. This isn't 2008. Everyone is online. Look at dumb posts like "do you have an app for that?" What time or universe are these guys living in? What warped sense of reality do they have? How did they get to be on Cloud Coo-Coo land. That's psycho right there.
There is no arguing with it. Look at how they can't even read 3 sentence. What do you say to try to talk to people who won't listen to 3 words you have to say? Nothing. You can't talk to them because they aren't listening. They aren't here to do that. They have all the answers - you have none. They are here to get their jollies off making fun of everything, including you if you piss of their delicate sensibilities. Everything is funny to them, nothing is off limits. Only good thoughts, not bad thoughts. No hate, no religion, no guns, no intellectual conversation, no changing the subject, no psychopaths, no Nazis, and no rules. These guys live in absolute crazy fantasy land. Perhaps they should instead be advertising for GM's newest SUV : Denial.
Their biggest, most dangerous kick is to say "You are stupid or dumb or crazy" because you believe in God.
Anyone who calls people dumb or crazy for believing in God is a bigot. As someone who works in technology and is also religious - this has become an increasing terrible stereotype that they try to portray. It's not true. Science is born out of religion. They are as inseparable as E= MC^2 and the law of probabilities. Does it not say much that the greatest scientist of our time was not also one of the greatest philosophers? Einstein. That lack of history and understanding came to a head at the COOP. They spew regurgitated history straight out of the Nazi play book. I don't use that word lightly considering half my Epstein familiy is no more.
But that is what this crew does. They wanted to point out to me in their 1980's language of movie quotes how knowledgeable they are about when to use the word and when not to - to a Jew. They told me "You know who were Nazi's, Nazi's." Some true insight to quote Inglorious Bastards if I'm not mistaken. That is a truly masterpiece of intellectual work - of which I'm sure their twisted minds have watched countless times. These guys revel in stereotypes. Is it no wonder most of their "supermods" choose Avatars from the movie "Revenge of the Nerds?" Really? 1988 calls and says Hello. In 1997, when I first stepped on campus, Revenge of the Nerds was lame. That's 10 years and no one cared. 15 years later and these guys still think it's funny? Why?
1) Because it's biotry
2) because we accept it as true
Is not Revenge of the Nerds not stereotyping people into "Nerds and Jocks?" That it's a stereotype against the University of Arizona itself is not an excuse. The fact that as you read their posts and you see multiple posts have Ogre as their Avatar, it ends up looking like an old flip book cartoon of Ogre drinking himself to death. That's telling. Is that what we want young recruits to see coming to this University? Let alone the sports teams. This is much like saying that the Washington Redskin acceptance of a racial stereotype is ok because people take pride in it.
Standing up to bigotry is not bigotry. So for that, I applaud this board's admin. Enough was enough. Call it what it is - You can't argue with stupid.
So start the list,
Chicat
NYCat
AZgreg
ghostwhitehorse
Daryl Zero
Pokinmik
JMJ
Wyo-Cat
Bruins01
ALiebermann
If you want to name names, I say name em and dance so people can remember. Internet bullies love the anonymity of the internet.
"it's just the interwebz, lolz," - Chicat
Well guys, you have the whole thing - except here - enjoy it. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Some of us, including myself, are perfectly happy with how things have been resolved. The bullies are gone now. They have the whole interwebz to bully now. Maybe they go back to the trash heap from which this stuff belongs, the WOW forums.
I'm sure that's will they will go after the they will get tired of bullying everyone the Forum for GOAZCATS Exiles ... er, the CO-OP.
Why that changed,
*magic*.
Because that's all these Jokers know how to do. That's what Jokers did at one time. Tricks of misdirection and guile. That's who they are. *Magic*
And who believes in magic?
So don't let magic and jokers win. Stand up against the cyber bullies and bigots. Isn't it great to feel yourself again and take pride in who you and how you feel? It's feels good... almost selfish. Which, isn't a sin. Jokers try to convince you otherwise - making you feel shame in your own interests. And that's what real 5 star Nazi's need you to do first, and foremost.
Dance and rejoice in who you are.

My humor may be snarky at times - but it's derived from real science and answers.

The internet has real consequences in the real world. It takes no more than 5 seconds on Google to see the amount of attacks alone due to bullying on Facebook. Real people are dying, being murdered, raped, assaulted, and plenty of other cruel things that never go reported. They don't see that violence happening at all. That is why they are so glib in doing what they do. So glib in choosing a name "co-op" which derives from Communism despite the fact that hundreds, thousands of innocent people right now are dying in Communist countries. The insensitivity is horrifically similar to just about every deranged madman ever.
But no. No no amount of telling them them to stfu and sit down helps. That is a common theme running from this group of Jokers. This isn't 2008. Everyone is online. Look at dumb posts like "do you have an app for that?" What time or universe are these guys living in? What warped sense of reality do they have? How did they get to be on Cloud Coo-Coo land telling everyone else what is right and wrong like Princess Unikitty?
There is no arguing with stupid. Look at how they can't even read 3 sentences. What do you say to try to talk to people who have the mental acrobatics of a 3rd grader - no offense to 3rd graders. And then when caught, can't apologize. Nothing to see here! That is there attitude. Never apologize, never admit defeat, never back down. They are never wrong. In that, they share much in common with many idiots that have come before them. JMJ may literally be the internet equivalent of Colonel Custer combined with an adolescent child who just broke his G.I.Joe. Please. I haven't seen a meltdown so epic since the last Blizzard expansion pack.
But, this is more than idiocy. This is purposeful hatred. Oh, how I felt pride knowing I would never fall for Carl Rove and the tactics he pioneered in the 2000 election. I voted for Gore and straight democrat in that election based much on the hatred I saw from Rove - but to see it come from the other side? Rovian tactics are very much the same tactics this group uses. They aren't here to debate or talk real sports at all - that's just a corollary. They have all the answers - you have none. You question them- they question your mental health. Hillary would understand. In this manner, they get their jollies off making fun of everything hoping you will pay attention to these obviously starved individuals. Anything you say that doesn't fit into their world view, hurting their delicate sensibilities. ruins their day. Everything is funny to them but what hurts them, nothing else is off limits. Only good thoughts, not bad thoughts. No hate, no frowny faces, no religion, no guns, no intellectual conversation, no changing the subject, no bigots, no psychopaths, no Nazis, no rules and most importantly, no consistency. These guys live in absolute crazy fantasy land. Perhaps they should instead be advertising for GM's newest SUV : Denial.
Their biggest, most dangerous kick is to say "You are stupid or crazy or living in the past" because you believe in God.
Anyone who calls people dumb or crazy or implying that religion is for people not currently living in modern society, is a bigot. As someone who works in technology and is also religious - this has become an increasing terrible stereotype that they try to portray. It's not true. Science is born out of religion. They are as inseparable as E= MC^2 and the law of probabilities. Does it not say much that the greatest scientist of our time was not also one of the greatest philosophers? Einstein.

They told me "You know who were Nazi's, Nazi's." Some true insight to quote movies for inspiration if I'm not mistaken. Truly masterpieces of intellectual work - of which I'm sure their twisted minds have watched countless times. I often wonder how in 10 years I have less than 400 posts here? Because then I remember I have a job, and a life, and wife and 3 kids. So what else are these guys doing with their time? Now I know. These guys revel in stereotypes. Is it no wonder most of their "supermods" choose Avatars from the movie "Revenge of the Nerds?" Really? 1988 calls and says Hello. In 1997, when I first stepped on campus, Revenge of the Nerds was lame. That's 10 years and no one cared. 15 years later and these guys still think it's funny? Why?

Is that what we want young recruits to see coming to this University? Let alone the sports teams. This is much like saying that the Washington Redskin acceptance of a racial stereotype is ok because people take pride in it. The difference is that the Redskins pay players to play for them - we don't pay people to attend the UofA outside scholarships. If they didn't have that money, who would still play for the "Redskins." So why should student athletes want to play for a group of people who stereotype themselves as a bunch of eccentric nerds and drunk jocks? Can't test that in a laboratory, but I certainly don't want the implications of that experiment to be on our future students and student-athletes.
Standing up to bigotry is not bigotry. So for that, I applaud this board's admin. Enough was enough. Call it what it is - Standing up to stupid isn't stupid.

I'm sure that's what will happen next, as is always the case as any student of History will tell you. History repeats itself often in the most ironic ways. They will get tired of bullying everyone in Cloud Coo Coo land once known as "the Forum for GOAZCATS Exiles" ... er, the CO-OP.
Why that changed,
*magic*.
Because that's all these Jokers know how to do. That's what Jokers did at one time. Tricks of misdirection and guile. That's who they are. *Magic*
And who believes in magic?
The reason we have Science and Universities of study in the first place, was to dispel magic. So don't let magic and jokers win. Stand up against the cyber bullies and bigots. Isn't it great to feel pride in yourself again on these forums? Isn't it not great to be able to take pride in who you are and how you feel? It's feels good... almost selfish. Which, contrary to "popular" belief isn't a sin in the Old Testament at all. Jokers try to convince you otherwise - making you feel shame in your own interests, curiosities, beliefs, knowledge, and most importantly - compassion for other human beings. After all, is not the best illusion one which makes you think someone is dead only to reappear? A subtle attempt to trick you into render everything you know to be false? And that's what real 5 star Nazi's need you to do first, and foremost.
So show them you don't care about them or their hate - Dance and rejoice in who you are.
Now that's been said - I'm going to go dance with my children and tell them how much I love them. That's winning to me. Thank God.

I'd like to see how this plays out. I say let's give it a week.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

I voted Yes. If 4Life/Bert/Percy/OlsonCourt isn't Mall Preacher Dave, he knows him or works with him out there.
That's how loony his many personas have become. When I see him type Yoshua, I'll know for sure.

Re: 4Life... What to do?
Having an unhealthy fixation on persecution, calling people Nazis who disagree isn't really appropriate forum behavior.
I never had any issue with him until he got all pissy yesterday. Even then I didn't really.
But that rant today isn't even a little unhinged, but all the way unhinged.
I've not voted.

You have a reprieve for now. But any of TOS antics here and this gets revisited.
