Miss you too. I will stop in when I can, which will be rare at best. Let's just say I haves issues - with internet connectivity. I'll do what I can.

Good to hear from you bro. Take care.

*promote. Ignoring this problem will not make it go away.

^Here is what he has done that deserves a ban:

Blatant bigotry toward

1. Gays
2. Muslims

People have been purged for similar offenses already. I agree that in most instances trolls should be ignored. Still it is important to remember that ignoring does not always work, and if we allow bigots to keep spewing their hate here then we might as well advertise "VideoSift: Haters welcome!"

>> ^dag:
In times like these, we should fall back on the guidelines. Has he violated them? Which ones and links please.


So why did you ban a troop basher and a general douchebag, You know what I'm talking about. It's all part of the same ball of wax. Are you telling me that starred members' bigotry towards gays and Muslims shall be tolerated, while someone who slams troops or who is behaving like a general douchebag will not be allowed?

Your continued tolerance of choggie's latest sock puppet speaks volumes, really. The problem is not going to go away if you continue to ignore it.

Here is what I think of you, assrocket.

Jesus, I left this place when CaptainAsswipe420 was a bronze star and was hating on gays.

I remember it well. And by the way BillO, nice necro-quality you gave CP420 for that fucking farce of an apology he offered. I used to occasionally find you amusing. Now you are just another worthless troll. Please downvote this comment. It's what you are best at.

Unfortunately enough of you guys gave CP420 enough votes to get him a gold star. I am sure you voted for his videos in good faith, putting aside the fact that he is a dickhead. Now look where we are at with him. I am not blaming you because I probably would have voted for some of his videos too, including the one in question. I have been lurking here the past couple of days just trying to make heads or tails of this shit and I still do not get it. I guess I will start by saying this:

1. Screw you MINK. You're calling this McCarthyism? What a hypocrite. I remember when you chastised us for wallowing in free speech and egalitarianism because poor little gluonium stormed off. Now you want to spook us with the specter of McCarthyism - the supression of free speech and thought, which doesn't at all apply here - even though you wanted to muzzle us back then for no better reason than you liking little glu-glu.

Is that too ad hominem for you, MINK? I also remember when you took us to task for ad homs, even though you have used the word "retarded" to describe people and points of view you don't like more than anyone I've ever met. Just look here people, and tell I'm wrong about that. For a condescending elitist your vocabulary isn't worth a shit, minky.

This is not about McCarthyism. It is about nothing more than dealing with a fucking troll because he is doing typical trollish shit. He is not making any thoughtful or valid arguments, and his negative contributions to this place far exceed anything positive he has brought. He is just creating a shitstorm of controversy. That is all he wants, and that is all he has ever wanted here. In other words he is just a fucking troll.

2. Screw you choggie. I used to like you at one time. Now you are just a spiteful and petty troll with sock puppets who like to use taboo words like nigger and camel jockey. Dag had to redact that second comment for many reasons. I am sure the use of "camel jockey" was one of the them. Now I know why CP420 likes you so well. Birds of a feather flock together.

3. Dag and lucky: Why wasn't CP420 banned after this comment? Seriously. According to former admin James Roe you haved purged users for racism. How is this different? I am a heterosexual male with a black father and a white mother, but I would have been offended no worse if CP420 had described black people as "losers" instead of gays. Both insults are just as bad. If you think I am wrong then tell me how.

You have banned members for troop bashing:

And for general douchebaggery:

So what makes CP420 so special? The gold star next to his name? I think you owe the members of this community - the community you founded - an explanation that involves more than "tolerance." Tolerance is great. That doesn't mean we have to allow Fred Phelps to start posting comments, does it? As far as this particular case goes, are you going to allow CP420 to smear Muslims by portraying them as scheming cabalists who are trying to destroy a neo-con hero? For the sake of argument, let's say there was a "Judaism" channel. What if every time someone posted a video about the banking industry - and there are lot of those lately - someone used the Judaism tag? Would that not be offensive to Jews? The great Zionist conpiracy LIE of the past has been transformed into the great Muslim conspiracy LIE of the present. Please explain if you disagree.

This is just a web site with a relatively small number of members who want a respectful community. If I remember you didn't want this place to become like YouTube. Yet here we are.

If my questions sound too demanding I really do not care. I have not been here for a long time anyway so you can ban me for all I care. The only reason I am here now is because I am currently staying with a friend right now who is still a member, and curiosity got the best of me so I logged in. I almost wish I hadn't now. Maybe you are wishing the same thing too.

4. To everyone else: If dag and lucky don't get rid of CP420 all I can suggest is to never vote for his videos again EVER, and any time he ever writes something even remotely stupid - all the time - downvote it. He does it all the time to you. Return the favor. He seems to delight in his role as a troll, so treat him as such. He deserves no better.

5. To CaptainPlanet420: Fuck you youngling. You are a fucking coward who feels tough by taking on an entire VIRTUAL community. Would you talk the same shit to REAL people at a gay pride parade, or at a gathering of Muslims? Don't answer that, youngling. You will only embarrass yourself. It is what you do best.

I think VS is stilling not recognizing LiveLeak as an accepted host for sub-Gold members. Someone else had this problem recently.

Dag? Lucky? Is there a problem?

Congrats, Gunner. Looks like they finally gave you your own command. What's this world coming to?

I joined to meet chicks. Then I realized that this wasn't a dating site.

Thanks, dammit!
