DJ Martian : should he be banned?

Can we do that? We should see... just for fun.

i) Delete threads (done twice IIRC) ii) Delete individual messages (done very few times) iii) Delete messages from a particular IP address (not done) iv) Alter message content. (done twice to my own posts). v) Switch the forum so that only I can start threads (tempted).

Cheers, Tom

Good question.

i think we should ban everyone we disagree with, who has a different sense of humor than us, or who we dislike because their knowledge threatens us in some way. i really don't think the internet is about information dissemination or bridging cultural boundaries. it's about being constantly annoyed with *someone* at any given time, and complaining to some authority figure about how that person is totally ruining everything, and how we're big fucking crybabies about everything so we need to lock them out of the system, especially since we're too whiny and lazy to read past their posts.

nah

BAN "res"

I'm shocked at this thread. I mean of all people to ban...DJ Martian?? That's inconceivable.

People can't deal with him cos he's too real.

Yeah, hahaha he's just too cool for school.

You joke, but this has happened. I believe there are even several names on the 'ilx milk carton' thread who were, shall we say, forcibly excused.

What DID become of DJ Martian, anyway? Is he under Giant's Stadium?

currently very hung over i should imagine. i wonder if any of the americans know why this thread was revived?

Frankly I think DJ Martian hasn't posted in awhile because um...the threads here have got dreadfully boring of late. *whistles*

I'm an American and I have no bloody idea why this thread was revived. I can't even believe there were posts here in 2000. I never knew this place went back further than 2001.

It got bumped because Fad Gadget just went to #1 in the UK with their cover of "Pleasant Valley Sunday".

bahahah

Damnit Fad Gadget sounds so good right now. I wish I could say I bought a whole CD of him. Never did.

This feels like the oldest thread I have ever seen.

Feel free to ban me. I seem to be having problems walking away at the moment.

you don't think i've noticed this? i've seen the most interesting people on this board consistently expelled, and seen this board go from something that was unique, funny, and inclusive to a police state whose easily-offended user base is constantly calling for the authorities to sanitize and eradicate everything that does not meet their ridiculously nebulous standards of merit/humor/decorum.

now that i think about it, the changes in this board over the past few years seem to mirror the decline and fall of the United States under the Bush administration and an increasingly intolerant and ignorant populace. it's quite ironic, actually, given the obvious liberal bent of most of the people here. sure, you can get control, but at the cost of personal freedom, at the cost of having an interesting place to bond with people, and at the cost of having free-spirited and honest conversation-- all of which you are apparently willing to part with so you can ban someone who makes an off-color joke. Great thinking there!

Just look at this huge list of banning requests. You do have the power and right to run your own board, but I hope that you can be mature and thoughtful enough to think about the effects of your actions. Grow up and learn that the world is not going to re-adjust itself to your personal whims, and learn to embrace the variety of opinions, and ignore those that offend you.

Anyway, RIP ILX.

good post!

Hi Nude Spock!

Well done DJ Martian. Well done Portsmouth Football Club. Well done Kanu. Well done that man with the bell thing

Today of all days lets put aside out difference and congratulate DJ Martian who right now is probably the happiest person here

There is a reason why Nude Spock gets repeatedly banned and DJ Martian is loved by one and all.

Bad Meds vs Good Meds

That last Res post needs an abstract and a Bibliography at the end, if I'M going to take it seriously.

can't be arsed with that. the rationale should be apparent by now.

Res-ipe for disaster

res-aspie

I don't think ilx has gone downhill bcz people have been banned

I think it has gone downhill for other reasons

I think more people should be banned!!!!

Let the great purge of spring '08 commence!

Dell! I was hoping you'd show up! I wanted to IM you about a half hour ago.

I'm an American and I have no bloody idea why this thread was revived.

you are lying, Americans don't say "bloody" unless they're hopelessly incurable anglophile types who're capable of reciting entire monty python sketches from memory and so on and...oh hey never mind

bimble and dell talk on aim?

it's wuv

I'm going to start prefacing all of my posts with "I'm an American and..."

Did the Pinefox really just use four exclamation marks in a row? I'm calling fake.

there must be joycean precedent for such

What's the drummer of the Smiths got to do with it?

o shit you're right i forgot he's the only person ever called joyce

Has anyone ever met DJ Martian?

He turned up at the very first London ILM fap, I think.

That is correct. I wasn't there but legend says someone hid a Best of Blur CD in his bag.

Hahahahaha

i think r carmody was there as well? 'mazin

i still want to see photo of djmartian - does he have a facebook?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Portsmouth_Football_Club_Westwood

Has his own Wikipedia entry^

PLEASE TELL ME HIS REAL MIDDLE NAMES ARE ACTUALLY 'PORTSMOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB'.

To me, his middle name will always be "Cunt With The"

"Exaaactly"

BIG BELL RINGING TWUNT UP IN THE PLACE TONIGHT

TCWTB covers request list:

"Easy Lover"
"Wearing My Rolex"
"Respectable"

Lassana Diarra has a gentleman's agreement with Portsmouth that he can quit Fratton Park if one of European football's big clubs come knocking. (Daily Mail, 1112 BST)

His bouts of bell-ringing actually sync up perfectly with the rhythm tracks to certain Ulver albums - test this out for yourself next time MOTD's live coverage fails to block him out

Awww man the semantic argument that is due to kick off when Tottenham try and sign Diarra is going to be a treat.
