He entertains me for whatever reason some of the time...the rest I simply ignore. As long as he doesn't derail other people's threads with a constant stream of spam...(which I frankly don't know about since following his posting habits isn't high on my "To-Do" list)....I say LET HIM LIVE.

Looking through the thread I count 2 people plus drum who actually think he should be banned. Everyone else seems to be taking infinitely less stupid stances.

Since it's clear from my post you quoted that that is what I was referring to, I don't see why you bothered quoting me to make your point, since it's clearly an entirely different point.

The point is that there are obviously a fair number of people who are sick of wading through his ramblings. This isn't the first thread about this and you know it.

Okay then, I'll put the previous arguments I mounted in this thread to bed, since they were about a smaller part of the issue, and deal with this:

I agree that there are a number of people on this board who dislike geoff's postings.

First point: This forum isn't a democracy, that's been said hundreds of times over the past few years. It never has been. The popular vote on this forum has never been used to decide a member's fate. So on that basis, so fucking what if some of us don't like what Geoff posts.

Second point: I read a fair amount of the stuff that Geoff posts. Some of the links he puts up are good, some are complete shit, but I wouldn't go and get any of the links myself if he wasn't posting them. On that basis, as much as I loathe to say it, Geoff's posts are actually useful to me.

Third point: I think it's really, really pathetic that those complaining about goof don't have the self-control to simply not click on his topics. Seriously, give me one good reason why you can't just pass over the topics he creates? That seems to be the main bone of contention here, rather than his posts in other people's threads.

I didn't say it was a democracy. Drum was just making his opinion known, an opinion which others have posted about before.

IMO most of them are repetitive bs but fair enough.

I personally pass over most of his topics and only mind when the stupidity spreads to otherwise decent threads.

I'd take that as a compliment. I'm not one of the fucking idiots that just because they have beef with someone one time, they have to then perpetually be 'against' that person from that moment on.

That shit is for morons like you. I have the mental capacity to take a particular scenario on its own merits, thank you very much :icon14:

But whatever, enjoy your position, just know you're in the same boat as the guys who blindly support one political party on all issues, no matter how absurd.

To be clear, Drum isn't just saying 'I think he should be banned' he's also trying to use what he perceives as his 'weight' around here to effect that opinion. On top of that, at one point he was trying to convince us that there was some hidden number of posters who agreed with him but mysteriously weren't posting, and was also stating the belief that since a number of people want a member banned, that should be a reason to make it happen.

So it wasn't just that one opinion, it was a whole bunch, some of which were fucking stupid and based on beliefs which are simply incorrect.

Cheers. I'm glad we can pretty much agree on those.

You should stfu foo. All people are asking for is to reduce geoffs spam a little. It may not be a democracy but there's nothing to stop people complaining and maybe, just maybe, something might be done. Unlikely but it costs nothing to ask.

So you get to voice whatever you want to say but I shouldn't be able to disagree.

READING YOU LOUD AND CLEAR CAPTAIN IDIOT

Hey, tbh, I doubt your sister is the idiot you say she is foo, but I'd put money on it that she thinks you're a pedantic, arrogant smartass fuckhead. Lol, still reading ' how to win arguments and lose friends ' foo?

"Okay so I get on the train, I sit in a 3 seater by the window...there are a bunch of other seats open or whatever and this family of 4 comes and 2 of them sit with me and 2 sit next to them in the 2 seater...

Which boggles my mind because they could have easily taken 2 2 seaters and left an open space on the 3 seater with me but no, they had to be jerks....so anyway, this guy gets in and spills his coke all over my pants and shirt....

So I go "what the fuck" not even in a threatening way or anything, just by surprise because my head was facing the other way....

So the guy goes "apologize" and I go "excuse me?" and he goes "apologize for cursing in front of my two kids or I'll get the train conductor to kick you off the train"

And I go "well buddy, maybe if you were paying attention to where you were putting your FUCKING coke, I would have said FUCK in front of your FUCKING children"

At this point the guy is basically in my face and his girl screams "daddy make the stupid boy leave" and I go "yeah, make me leave daddy" and he was like "come on kids, lets get out of here" and as they were walking away the guy tells me to learn some manners.

I see his daughter is holding a harry potter book in her hand I go "tell your daughter that dumbledore dies on page 606" and immediately this like 13 year old girl bursts into tears and soon after her older looking brother did too the dad was speechless and walked away."

Exact reason I don't close his threads. Obviously he's a retard, however sometimes retards spark relevent conversations. Here it seems sometimes is everyday.

That makes me realize that you guys are a bunch of retard followers.

You fucking retard followers.

lol@drum...good times...

Let me get one thing straight here geoff for sake of confusion. I have never disliked you and I do find you quite funny at times. But I HAVE wanted to see your daily thread count reduced and a bit more variation on topics. People say don't click the topics. It's not quite the point, it just bugs me to even see that there's another thread by you so soon after the last. It bugs me more because it's you that doesn't see how sad it is.
That's about it.

hey drum. don't click the topics.

If i don't click the topics, HOW WILL I KNOW IF CNN REPORTED THAT BUSH JUST LEFT A STEAMING UNFLUSHABLE TURD IN THE WHITEHOUSE BATHROOM??

Geoff preparing his kid for married life olo

yup i have proof in the form of children i am not gay...u on the other hand...HOMO ALERT!!!...

whats the reason that you fell you need to prove that your not gay?

I TAKE IT BACK!! CTRL + A!

Yeah, I can't quite see why geoff suddenly jumped to the defence about not being gay as if I'd even suggested it.

Paranoid alert??

DiscoDave wrote:Limit how many threads Geoff makes or ban him completly. I dont care as long as something gets done. I've been posing here since i was about 16 and enjoy this forum. People like Geoff just degrade it.

geoff has been posting here since as long as I can remember. I don't even know who you are... but the geoff gets as much shit (mr. mom, etc) as he gives and never complains. Believe it or not, i've deleted his posts when they go to far, but if there's anything I've learned as an admin over the last three or four years, it's this:

Heavy handed moderation, silly rules no one wants to enforce and caring in general (taking things personally) are what create interdrama.

Having posted here for six years, I can tell you that this is the only time in the history of q3w that everyone gets along to the point where I don't need to ban people to maintain order.

Few if any of you people wanted us to ban sysop when he posted pictures of dead babies and personally attacked and threatened goagrrl to excess. In fact, many of you supported him because you thought he was intercool. None of the shit geoff pulls remotely resembles the things sysop ever did to people.

The crowd is fickle...

And tell Dark Metal to lay off me.

This just proves, dead babies are more popular than Geoff.
