I take a vacation from my vacation to actually browse the board, and I see TM has been banned for a maybe-doxxing, and an admin is abusing their powers [again]? Is there anything more I need to know about these situations? PM's are welcome if you don't want to draw the ire of one third of the triumvirate, but know that the message is probably being read anyway.


If you guys wanted me back that quickly you just could have asked instead of plunging the board into utter chaos.

Question seconded... I've been on and off here pretty regularly the past few days and am a bit confused.

Can somebody please whiteboard all of this? Thanks in advance.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Yeah. Is "TM" just Toxic Masculinity? Is it Tall Midget? Is it both?



TM...TM...I got it, Thomas Medicine!

ToxicMasculinity was a habitual line stepper who stepped over one too many times. It seems to have been more of a lifetime achievement award than for the doxxing alone. The moderators seemingly want to change the tone of the board back to what made it a place that most of us enjoyed.

America is throwing a hissy fit because he has to adjust similarly.

Toxic Masculinity was banned because he is right wing and the moderators want the board to go back to having left wing posters be the most vocal.

Brick is easily the worst poster on the board but even I don't want him banned. No one should ever be banned.

I am unaware of Toxic being told he was crossing the line multiple times by board moderators.

And what's this stuff about an admin using their power to send PM's from an account belonging to another poster? Was this "inadvertent" like changing a poster's display name?

That's between him and the mods. You complained for months that Chus and others didn't get more than a warning.

Should you be aware of it?

I really never knew who toxic was or what he posted until he was banned. Under my radar. Was he as offensive as they say?

I think at times people oversold his offensiveness, but not by much.

He's already missed his beat with that.

Well now it's right there for me.

TM has been, is, and always shall be a reference to Tall Midget.

There's a handful of dopes that don't get that or don't want to get that. 'Tox' would be just fine for referring to the other (former) poster.

Which is more douchey, policing the use of italics for Latin phrases or policing the use of initials to refer to posters, active or otherwise?

Yes, who cares for norms and traditions ... after all, words and acronyms have no real meaning, they mean whatever the person says they mean until they decide they didn't mean that anymore and mean something else.

Consider getting back to your 'vacation' soon.

I'm new here but from what little I have observed, I'd say America is a pretty good poster. As far as the "wisemen" or whatever you call these guys, I think that banning someone or screwing around with their posts should be pretty blatant and vile not political nicety.

Testy today huh? And do you think I'm not actually on a vacation? Stow your bitchness.

Bad mults are bad.

I would go with choice C. “Taking time away from your vacation to whine about things you aren’t a part of”

I'm not sure. That word just came to mind. I was probably subliminally thinking of the Silk Road. Latent racism!
