I kind of miss MINK
@MINK was often a troll, mean, probably a drunk - and I found him deeply misguided most of the time, but he was smart and sometimes an insightful critic of this community and myself. We had some amazing PM flamewars that I'm tempted to dig up and post - if it didn't violate his privacy.

MINK also sifted some pretty awesome videos, which I think always trumps any sort of personality issues or conflicts with anyone here. SIFT's come first.
ps: I must've not been paying attention. I always thought MINK was cool.

He did have lots of good obscure videos to post. He was cool in a world-weary self-(and everybody else)-loathing kind of way. Pissed a lot of people off - me more than anyone. But he is missed.

mink's brand of trolling was the best brand of trolling; witty and hateful and quite often relevant. i adore a good troll. aren't we due for another one? it's been a while.
It really sucks when people leave. No matter who they are really.

hey, dag. talked to mink today via facebook, told him how much you miss him and shit he says he's going to law school (go figure) and that "you can tell him from me that tshirts with fart jokes on them are EXACTLY what i was warning about"
You're all retards!
There, that's mink in a nutshell. I don't miss that.

Nobody knew me like he did...

He's gonna make a great lawyer one day. "I'd like to ask the court to dismiss the case on the grounds that you're all retarded."
You don't need that troll, dag; you've got me.

i remember MINK from TayTV.
we used to have glorious arguments!
smart,witty and he laughed at my jokes..what was NOT to like about him?
you could not be thin skinned around him thats for sure, but he was by no means stupid.
He's gone? Well he was always threatening to leave IIRC. Pity, I thought he was good though he could talk up some rubbish.
did you know he directed this Ski Oakenfull video?
I don't know me and MINK got along pretty well. I think he had relevant points all the time and everyone was too sensitive.
If mink was intelligent and/or witty, he hid it pretty well. He just liked to mix big words with his immature insults. He liked to fight with people, not argue or debate. I don't remember him ever making his case on any subject, but if he did, it was rare. He mostly stuck to ad hominem and straw men when he disagreed with someone.
He requested to be banned several times, as I remember, but he was not obliged. After threatening a downvote spree, I think he ended up scrambling his password so that he couldn't come back. Why such an intelligent, mature person couldn't muster the self-control to not visit the site (he was obviously too good for us, anyway) is beyond me.

T-shirts with farts on them, heh. I share many of MINK's grievances, I just tried to be a little more tolerant about it. I failed.
mink was a dude?
