By now you might need to know that I spend quite a bit of my time in the SPF chat room. I was hanging there yesterday and one youngster started spewing some seriously offensive racist bullshit, in the guise of a history lesson. Now I am quite comfortable with my ethnic heritage, and have a sense of humor. But this was beyond the pale.
Now this was bad enough, but then for the most part I had to beg my brothers to jump in and put this asshole in his place, except for one or two guys(thanks Deph).
Maybe this proves that LSA causes brain damage. Certainly it proves that it doesn't increase intelligence.
Nitro, is there any way to track who it was?
Bummer to hear of such.... Now, isn't it odd that this place in cyberville has been the recipient of such garbage both on the boards and on chat in the recent days?? Methinks someone may well be attempting to pollute the place for no other purpose than spite...... It wouldn't take an genius to surmise that racism/homophobia/mysogyny and the like won't fly very far with entho enthusiasts as a general rule.......... senorsal
In the case of the chat room. we know who it is. We just overestimated his inntelligence.
Well, i think it's a pretty generally held assumption that in some cases, particularly in cases with family history of mental dissorders, entheogens can potentially brings latent (not neccisarily possative) traits to the forefront.
Think of the instant asshole metaphore. ......... just add alchohol.
Ahhh yes, the reptilian brain, tucked all nice and secure back there all by it's lonesome........
This sounds like BS.
Sorry JRL,some try the cheap route for gain over others.
And if youv`e been around for a while,you know when it`s a barrel placed to your head...By history,that`s exactly what I suspect JRl would know
Man I was being fitted for a fuckin lampshade. And see I can laugh at the stereotypes all day long, but this wasn't that. This was some vile shit.
Hey, does anyone who was there want to chime in.....
This would be the perfect time
QuoteHey, does anyone who was there want to chime in.....
Well, I wasn't there. But I personally would like to know who it was and what they were saying (though I reckon I can guess the latter.) The asshats in our midst should be known, if nothing else to perhaps be given an opportunity to apologize.
now, I don't like to jump to conclusions, but doesn't the timeline suggest a certain nautical miscreant... possibly associated with someone who's name on the old board resembled a coffee brand?
that's just my guess
Nah it wasn't Potty Pants
that surprises me... it's a shame that the forum has only been up for a matter of weeks and we're already getting inundated with moronic behaviour... sometimes I manage to build faith in humanity... and other times, like now, that faith fades to near-nothing...
I guess I just have to accept that some people find pleasure in angering and hurting others... it's unfortunate... but I suppose it's something that has to be accepted... of course... it doesn't have to be accepted BEHAVIOUR... just accepted as a fact
I wasn't in chat that day but i am on the trail of whoever this was. We tolerate some moody individuals at times and often will talk racists down instead of booting them out. What were the operators doing at the time JRL?
Spiritplants ircops are meant to be the servants of the chat community.
They booted the culprit but he's back. I talked to him and I guess I am gonnna have to say, we have agreed to differ. I am not gonna post his secret identity.
Hey, sorry for not chiming in before now JRL
But I was in chat that day, and JRL is right. The young man crossed some lines and at points sounded utterly nazi-like.
The thing that caught my attention most though, is that the same young man has ops power in chat !???
Why???
He shouldn't have.
So i understand your erieness JRL, I think all of us in there that day understands that... maybe except gor a certain young man.
Cheers
Satori
hey i missed that too, JRL, but I can tell you that it won't fly in chat anymore than in the forums...Asshole X will get kicked to the curb toot sweet :wink:
Aww... it's tough to place yourself outside the duality of offender/offendee, but when you do you will feel extreme compassion for the offender. He would not do so unless he himself were the victim of some kind of offense. Have pity on fools, for few else will, and they need acceptance so desperately.
Man this is an old thread, but that's what I did. I sometimes let myself get sucked into someones but I just let it go like water off the butt of a duck.
i need to pay attention to this bbs a bit more :/
i'm in the chatroom like 90% of the time apart from when i sleep, and i don't recall this incident, but the thing is when the eurpoeans wake up i am goin to bed and about 5 hours before i get up the americans start to stir.
well anyway, i got nothin to add, but i have to say as a now 2+ year veteran of irc i am a much milder creature than i used to be (i dunno, maybe it's the lack of drugs or something hehe) and it gets me in a bit of a knot when i encounter brainless opinionating... but then again i'm known for being aggressive at times... but i've lost a lot of puff lately, and i learn quickly... but maybe not quickly enuf... wutever just checkin in on the bbs chat forum cos WAAA the chatroom is awol DAMMIT... weird to get used to when it has been a permanent fixture for so long.
