Urrrrgggggghh.....

Canines equines and wild ones are free to troll their speciousness, but when cephalopods PM their detritus just to be a super PITA they deserve to be exterminated. Even then some of us didn't go whining to the mods like a dog-face, but there's just not enough room in the sea for unlimited sewage. Occasionally I've seen a cephalopod riding on the derrière of a horse, however, and wondered...

 

Ah, I see.

Gee, block the zoo and miss all the fun.

 

How did he get back on then? The site upgrade, or whatever you call it, wiped out a few things and banned chuckleheads fell between the cracks, I guess.

 

He was sending nasty PMs? I didn't realize that. I never got one. For the most part I found him more amusing than offensive.

 

If you weren't a recipient you wouldn't know, one of the few PMs I deleted I was so disgusted.

 

i thought he was pretty harmless unless he had a personal beef with you, so to speak. but i definitely can see him getting nasty in that case. sorry to hear you got a nasty pm, mj.

 

Thats too bad Squid added much life on a different view point to this forum.. Is he really banned?

What about Kow? is he still around? or was he ?

 

Could you explan this? First you answer his question "No" and then you say he's not on the banned list.

 

For the most part I enjoyed the Squidster's posts. He has more style than the garden variety troll, and he sometimes gave me something to think about. I would vote for resurrecting Squiddy unless he does something heinous.

Kow too.

 

Not me. Not now that I know the reason he was banned in the first place. The squid needed a lesson on working and playing well with others. To allow him back would negate the lesson and just enable his poor behavior and social skills.

 

um, tony? fhop existed before squid came around.

 

I think maybe Tony meant that Squid's post justified the existence of FHOP: Had there been no FHOP, Squid might not have posted that article.

 

I gather from some of the above posts that Squid was banned on the basis of one or more PMs he sent, which the rest of us never saw. I liked him, but if he did send nasty PMs the mods would have had little choice but to ban him.

 

Which does not alter my speculation about why he was banned in the first place. A speculation you could clear up, though I won't press if you feel it's inappropriate to reveal the reason(s) for his original lifelong ban.

 

Like the time he changed his avatar to Cho Seung Hui a few days after the W Va Tech massacre. That washeinous.

But didn't he also start that silly thread about what do you put catsup on, and a poll about is fast food vulgar? Choices were, yes, no, Hilary will be president in '08. Cracked me up. Ok, so I'm not a mod and don't have to deal with PITA's but...a lifetime ban seems a tad harsh.
