unlock dom p petition

voted before lock

Fuck this is getting boring, you imbeciles.

dont you have twitter to be complaining about

who wants a temp ban

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll

hey john justen why don't you unban dom and see if he gets suggest banned instead of the bullshit evasive excuse you gave on the thread that got locked prematurely? Also you realize the more you antagonize dom the more obnoxious he's gonna be when he comes back. Just sayin.

I mean do you seriously think 150 people ACTUALLY seriously voted that they are terrified of some scarfy british dude posting on a message board?

u mad

btw this is the only ban dom thread I could find on ILX: Ban Dom Passantino

yes I am mad!

this is bullshit!

I don't get mad except when people are being stubborn douchebags. that's why I only get worked up over mods being dicks on ILX

this just brings back bad memories of when people used to gang up on me in middle school. I don't think ILX should be a fucking popularity contest.

so people are allowed to be dicks if they're your friend, is what you're saying

I'm not friends with Dom

never talked to the dude

then why is it so important to you that he be unbanned? since it appears to be for selfish rather than altruistic reasons

what are these selfish reasons? thinking ILX shouldn't be a popularity contest?

i have zero reason what you mean when you say that

dom wasn't banned because he was popular or unpopular

I think Dom is a misunderstood figure. He has a smart mouth but I don't get the accusations that he's like this nasty dude.

SAVE DOM

are you unwilling to accept that may not be the perception of everyone?

do you not believe that there could be people who have legitimate reasons for not wanting him unbanned?

who do you think should really get to decide whether someone should be able to post or not?

I'm w/ Curt1s. At the very least, we should have 'suggest keeps,' so you can both earn and lose points.

If people really do have legitimate reasons for not wanting him unbanned then I'm really sorry, I just don't know because I figure it's none of my business if people actually do have personal beef w/dom. I just always assumed the mods were blowing dom's controversial figure wayyyy out of proportion

& I thought bans were reserved for trolls

and suggest bans temporary - Dom Passantino is the only one who has not been unbanned

note i don't have a personal stake in this. however not lifting dom's ban is site mod policy and it's not because john or dan or myself are being difficult or lulzy

& I thought bans were reserved for trolls

uh no, where did this perception come from

maybe someone can tell him to just tone it down or something

has this ever really worked?

serious question. i guess a couple of the people who have been through the suggest ban wringer have emerged slightly calmer but it seems as temporary as the bans themselves

I'm sorry. I guess dom was more hurtful to people than I realized. I'll shut up now.

many xposts

and I want john & dan & jim & all the other mods to know it's all love

<3

how quickly I surrendered my chaki-stylee hardman posturing

Yeah it doesn't suit you dude, sry :/

hey crut et al, btw, my triple ban argument was kind of meant as joeks, just to be clear.

lmao what a great joke, well done.

dude, imagine all the things that you could accomplish if you channeled all this effort and time into something more worthwhile than getting butthurt on the internet

6 minutes

um yeeeeeah, k, i spent six minutes finding that...

it's kind of hard to play that card when you mod an internet forum fwiw

i think the grudge against dom is ridiculous and that the ppl who got actually butthurt by him really do have too thin of skin, but all of us have to concede that dom could've made various minor concessions over the last, oh, 4 years and he wouldn't be permabanned right now

that said im 100% in favor of it being lifted

i mean to me it seems like the timeline is that dom got permabanned and then totally permabanned because he a. skirted the sb system b. sent a mean email to dan perry c. all of the above

because it seems like to me that his main targets were either anonymous british posters like snoball, ppl in the british media who are more successful than him or old timers like trayce or granny dainger who at times get zinged by other old timers

the guy was a tireful prick who seemed incapable of joining in any discussion without relying on repetitive sarcastic tropes and unfunny playground chiding. call me thin skinned, but he fucked this board up by creating a particularly nasty culture streak where you couldn't post anything without being followed up by umpteen pointless gif images, repetitive quotings, or sardonic memes like "REAL TALK" (oh my sides). i'd forgive him if only i could recall one post where he wasn't desperately trying to cover up his own inadequacy as a human being by coming across like a snotty delusional egomaniac or generally acting like eric cartman crossed with ricky gervais.

except not funny.

pretty sure 'tireful' isn't a word, champ.

it is now.

anyway big fuckin' deal, you didn't like his steez. where is my care-o-meter?

point is even in a fair fight of sockpuppets he won the popular vote 154:150. gabnebb and tuomas and louis did not, but got let back in anyway.

i just don't see what's so great about him, espesh compared to the three posters you just mentioned who i see as valuable contributors to ilx, not trolls like dp.

i'll ignore that not because it's idiotic (tuomas is the worst troll this board has ever had) but because it's irrelevant.

"ILX is not a popularity contest" could be the mantra of either side to this.

Voted in all cases for Dom to be let back, if he's not then I couldn't blame the mods. How the fuck can you?

xpost - how is tuomas a troll compared to dom exactly?

gee, dunno, maybe because he uses the exact same "i don't understand anything/dimwitted relativist" shtick on every single thread he appears on, ie shits up.

^anger is a gift

xpost

first, that's not true - i've read loads of interesting and informative, witty and above all relevant posts from tuomas. sure he sometimes asks the odd silly question, but that's not trolling. trolling is deliberately antagonising other posters, or posting irrelevant, offensive or inane material to provoke a reaction.

^^^ pretty sure this is not why Dom is still banned

okay you win. well done, go get an ice cream.

well played you two

worth banning dom just for that, tbh

people who start & keep up these are actually Dom's enemies trying to make sure he stays banned, correct?

mark bronson, it sounds like the internet has become too much for you. perhaps you need a break.

you got it the wrong way round.

i lol'd

gabnebb and tuomas and louis did not

suggest ban sucks (unban LJ)

13-12 dude :P

also cheers Jim for yer ringing endorsement ;)

13-12 dude :P
