the whole reason a politics section was created was for trolls like reardon to spam his rhetoric in one solitary place. couldn't you have just banned him? he was pretty much the cause of most of the BS in the politics section.
Lampooning or chastising a politician - or any public figure or non-boardmember for that matter, and publicly, deliberately and directly calling someone a highly-derogatory and socially-repugnant label are two different things altogether.
To even attempt to equate the two is ridiculous.
I equate what HOVA and McNown did to a blatant and repeated use of the N-word.
Lampooning or chastising is one thing. But putting blatant lies and propaganda towards somebody is another. So you're saying that Jimmy's constant crap against an actual person (whether or not you like the individual or his policies) is much nicer than real people (and yes we are real people. Many of you have Nas and I on your FB / Twitters) making completely baseless accusations at a faceless / nameless internet troll who's sole mission was to stir up shit and post completely baseless accusations against a real person? If Jimmy was an actual semi productive member of the board or showed his face at gatherings that's one thing. When all you are here to do is stir up shit and sit behind the anonymity of a message board that's another. You lose the right to go running to the board Mod crying when people give it right back to you. All he was was a username designed to post tons of bullshit. And when the tables got turned against him he turned and ran to Biggie like a little freaking girl.
Other than just the nuisance of having to delete threads, I don't see why Biggie would give a rats ass or not what we said about Jimmy. We both stopped when initially asked. You would think that at that point Mr. Jimmy would have cooled it a bit. But Nope. Mr. Jimmy was right back at it, and fully denying at every turn that he was the one being a little bitch and asking Biggie to delete the threads (which Biggie had already confirmed both through his DOBTW thread and PM's to those of us he asked to stop). As I stated before, I saw that the meme had returned and nothing was being pruned so I (wrongly) assumed that Biggie had had enough of Jimmy's crying and was just telling him to suck it up or go away.
Really the only logical reason I can think of why this is such a BFD to Biggie is if "Jimmy" is actually a long time board member's shit stirring mult. In which case that person should be outed as "Jimmy" here in this thread.
Hopefully putting my thoughts in the public thread won't earn me a week or 2 off, but I'm not holding my breath. See you guys in a couple weeks.
