why didn't the mom just ignore the thread. she made 3 posts attacking the op before he responded to her and he gets banned for 2 weeks?

Re: brazs post
 

No kidding. Why wasn't gobbomom banned too? She rails on the guy for post after post until he finally strikes back. So the ban is on him. Feels like a football game where the guy who retaliates from the late hit gets the penalty flag.

Re: brazs post
 

yeah i think he was banned bc of his original post attacking someone for no reason?

she should be banned too though, and i think his final comment of her pathetic parenthood making him the "men" he is today was really funny, true, and something more parents should hear.

Re: brazs post
 

braz makes a post to humiliate this woman's son. Woman rightly defends her son and calls OP a jerk, ass etc. Braz responds by

"shut the [censored] up already then die"

I don't mind a little back and forth but this is way too far.

If you think gobbomom should be punished I can give her a few days to cool off, but she was basically defending her son in an unnecessarily cruel post. Braz was banned for a combo of making the thread (I probably would have given him a couple days) combined with that comment (2-3 days on its own).

He also has a history which is not in his notes for whatever reason.

I'm almost positive I permabanned him for outrageous racism/anti-gay comments early on in my bbv tenure but he returned a few months ago and has no notes. Strange. Maybe I just tempbanned him for a few weeks but I'm pretty sure there were notes as well.

Re: brazs post
 

also, dids I know you are being supportive in bbv4l but I really wish you didn't make that thread...the less blown up these things get the better.

Re: brazs post
 

I think braz's posts was out of line, just because I think the whole threat/you should die stuff is seriously lame.

I would hate to see braz gone, because I think he's totally hilarious.

Gild,

I understand why you guys aren't wild about those posts, but I think that's part of being a mod. I'm not questioning the ban, just bemoaning that braz will be gone.

I wish Gobbomom would invest more effort in her son's nutrition that weird message board posting. I feel bad for that kid, and I kinda welcome the harsh treatment he gets, because from personal experience that's a good motivating factor.

Re: brazs post
 

The OP was nothing more than calling somebody fat. hardly ban worthy.

chances are, I might come closest to winning this bet, or not- which I'm sure would be even better. Nevertheless, you are a complete [censored] and attention whore for posting something like this. Funny how your title doesn't reflect that. Congratulations.

I'm curious also, especially given the name "Gobbleboy". Stupid, idiotic OP trying to gain attention, please answer the question?

hardly mad, his mom recognizes ignorance when she sees it. What an ass OP is, trying to make himself be a bigshot, lol.

I don't see how he could be banned for that comment with the mom baited him like that.

here is another comment she made after

heated? no. Not when O.P. has clearly proven himself of retard caliber. Funny what bored 12 yr.olds do with their time.

If I had gotten to it first I'd have done the same thing. The OP's just a dumb troll and the other party's an Internet-clueless 40-something. The rest of the thread given those two things is totally unsurprising so it's braz' fault for posting something that unfunny in the first place.

now, 'should 'mom' get out of the forum' is a totally separate issue and I kinda wish she would. not our place to say it, though.

Re: brazs post
 

Nick,

Checked out the thread.

"chances are, I might come closest to winning this bet" -gobbomom

WTF?

Re: brazs post
 

Gild, we're not saying banning Braz is wrong -- obviously he needs some time off. But gobbomom had plenty of other options:

1) ignore the thread and not get involved in a flame war
2) notify the moderators

Instead she attacked back, and with the kind of flames that will earn anyone else a ban in any other forum. Fair is fair, is all I'm sayin' yo.

Re: brazs post
 

Nick,

I think it's specifically "shut the [censored] up already then die". That's the part I would consider ban worthy.

btw- Braz might be a troll, but he's far from dumb. He's actually a pretty sharp interesting guy.

Re: brazs post
 

braz may be cool but that op is just stupid. i don't mind seeing him banned for a bit.

also really weird that he has no user notes despite his history and he returned after being permabanned.

and no dids i'm not accusing you.

I find this thread interesting, I never knew Brazilio had trollish tenancies until recently, and I thought it was something personal against me rather than blanket internet rage issues. I thought everyone liked this guy and that I was just being oversensitive; I guess it wasn't just me with this opinion after all.

Re: brazs post
 

A lot of people do like braz, because he's funny and while he likes to toss around some crass insults, does it in a pretty amusing way. There's a sophistication to his posts that other equally bombastic posters lack.

IIRC when braz was permabanned, that was before we were using the notes as often as we did. Far more likely somebody just didn't note it.

I still maintain that the OP was hilarious. Perhaps not appropriate for the type of board 2p2 wants to run, but damn funny.

Re: brazs post
 

dids,

his comment about her pathetic parenting making him the "men" he is today was funny. the op was cruel, and not really funny at all.

Re: brazs post
 

FAT PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THEIR PENIS IS FUNNY.

FAT PEOPLE ARE FUNNY.

BEING MEAN IS FUNNY.

I feel like I am pretty much an expert on fat jokes, and that was a damn good fat joke.

Moreover the way Braz executed the thread was fantastic.

Re: brazs post
 

Man you always claim to be sooo unbiased, but you're playing favorites here because you talk to Braz in irc. that wasn't funny at all it was just stupid, and it wasnt a funny fat joke. he was just trying to make gobboboy feel like a piece of crap.

Re: brazs post
 

" he was just trying to make gobboboy feel like a piece of crap"

Where is it written that this can't be funny?

Re: brazs post
 

In the "how not to be a prick" book.

Re: brazs post
 

nation,

Obv it was mean, but I also think a garden variety fat joke is pretty tame compared to other stuff that is standard in BBV.

Re: brazs post
 

I think mean-spirited insults should generally be reserved for people who bring it about themselves.

I don't really think gobbo has brought this upon himself, and he might be more sensitive about his weight than someone like Dids is, who happens to be arguing otherwise and seems to be very secure with himself.

He has me in his avatar so I decided to put him in mine.

I'll probably bring back Mauer soon, or maybe change it up with a Justin Morneau one since Morneau did win me $6500 off GoT in sports prop-betting on him being the AL MVP last year [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not really trying to argue that it's an ok post, just that it's funny.

There's a part of me that does say "you bring it upon yourself by being fat in public" and that part is like 65% just me being mean and 45% me wanting the kid to help himself.
