There is precedence for the banning of individuals who post pictures of various body parts for dramatic effect.

Plus posting a link to a porn site.

smurf, I need to go to MiniThink more often.

Whatever the reason, I think it's a well deserved break for him since it seems he's constantly angered by the way this place is run.

There's no "no alternicks" rule. This is a different issue.

Determining when behaviour warrants a ban is based on our discretion, and we didn't feel it was warranted till now.

Probably.

Being a pompous ass is permissible.

I understand that banning is at the discretion of the mods here.  That part I am not trying to discuss, because it really isn't a discussable point.  You guys meet and ban and there has to be a reason to ban.

I'm stating there were hundreds of other possibilities to ban X-Reagan and I'm sure some enterprising soul can find every single topic where XYZ decided that rational discussion isn't the way to go and instead went to being an absolute jerk.  Hell, Oatie can probably come up with at least three times it happened to him.  And lest we forget the frequent times he decided the best way to handle a problem with a moderator was to go completely public with his bitchiness (Alien's abusive Behavior Deleting posts isn't the way to win arguments disappearing posts and those are just FORUMx3)

There were several times that a ban on XYZ would have been more than appropriate.  While he did finally get slapped down, it came way too late and only because he posted a pic of a wee wee.  It wasn't because of flagrant disregard of DBaJ.

Right.  The picture was the straw that broke the camel's back... and then he kept piling smurf on the poor, broken camel anyway.

It was a thread in MiniThink that XYZ felt belonged in Unplugged, so he did his best to derail it with sour grapes.  I culled the entire derailing lot right outta there... but among the things he posted was:

From the band? No.
Here's someone who's hot.

No, those links didn't originally point to disney.com.  They were explicit oral sex pics.
I can't be more descriptive than that since I didn't see them them, as Alien got there first.


So while the baby alteration picture gets the most talk, there's quite a bit that we discussed.  If it wasn't the baby pictures, it was the oral sex pictures. If it wasn't the oral sex, it was DbaJ.  There's plenty of material to go around.

Someone please save this topic for the next round of "Alien's abusive behavior"

He is rarely abusive, no matter how rude some people may find him. That's why he has not been banned in past.

So I can run around and call everyone a homphobe simply because they disagree with me from now on and not get banned?

WOO HOO, let's start now!

No.

You didn't read my post very well.

Calling someone a "furher" is ever so 20th century.
"Ayatollah" is alot more current.
