It is me: FacetiousPersona. A message to the community.

If no one uses it, it's not a word. I'm not going to promote being abstemious or anything close to it just to amuse you. Facetious remains the only commonly used word in the English language with all the vowels in order once.

Your thoughts now are disappointing considering the former brillaince.

One thing about brillaince. It shines brightly and can't be ignored. You seem to attach some importance to falling from that state.

Who on earth is

What a glitch!

Confound it, either he or his username is confounded or he or his username is confounding us.

Hmmm, Although face did manage to annoy me on a few occasions, I was not the target of deliberate maliciousness or if so I did not notice. However, I do recall several new members that were targeted and never posted again...

My question about motivation was never addressed, for some odd reason(?)

Don't we have a dungeon or something of that sort? I mean limited access would allow those who enjoy provoking face or being provoked by face to visit it in that lair?

I do not think that it would be wise to allow it free access to the entire forum though, because for some of the new members the face of the forum would be face...

Da Blob. I've been through the experience you are talking about on another forum. There should be a defense to this issue. Your idea is a good one but is it practical? Newcomers should always be treated with respect as they are new.

What was your motivation question?

What's actually the purpose of this thread?
Mister 'genius' is already back posting in threads other than this one, either do something or stop arguing there are way to much opinions here.
The moderator is a fucking dictator so let him choose and don't whine about it afterwards.

 

[ConfoundedPersona]

This made me laugh so hard I almost pissed myself.

Firstly, face has achieved nothing more than making a nuisance of himself, a feat hardly demanding of intellectual prowess, heck it's what most of us try not to do.

Secondly, we're not at his mercy, what face fails to anticipate is that this community, merely a network of people who wish to be networked, could migrate across forums, across the internet, heck even across means of communication, leaving him far behind and utterly alone.

Does that scare you face?
Not in a threatening way of course, no, this is the fear of missing out, of being left out, left behind, and forgotten, a fear deeper than even the fear of death, for it is an altogether more decisive end than the mere extinguishing of life, it is a loss of worth, of importance, of relevance.
Rant for me face, tell me how wrong I am, rant to me until you can rant no more, until there's nothing left but the void of depression clutching you from within, let me hear the mad-with-fear screaming of someone who knows they’re being entombed alive.

I'm in your head, and you can't get me out

Lol, the first stage is denial, so deny for me, deny, deny, deny...

I'm too high on my elephant to hear anywhere near with an ear.

I would answer with, "What's the purpose of love, Mr. Convenience?"

Surely you know the purpose of love. You being fantastic and what not?

It's obvious why it exists.

The elephant's fantastic, not I, silly.

ahhhh

my mistake


anyway, I don't think I'd ever be compelled to read a Racehorse Crime Fiction novel. Unless it involved a gun that fired bullet-tipped knives...

 

[Infinite Regress]

I like this clown

 

[Latro]

I like this clown

A successful manipulator makes people like hir. And Face is definitely a successful manipulator.

 

[fullerene]

yeah I'm not gonna lie.... anyone who gets too close to face and grows to trust him is just asking for trouble. I feel like anyone who's been here a while should know that, so they have a fair footing from which to make their own decisions..... but for the benefit of the new people: don't let your guard down around him. Surely hacking the forum twice and demanding to be allowed back without any restrictions should be warning enough. From these we learn:

1. if he doesn't get what he wants, he throws a tantrum
2. he does not care how many people are annoyed by his plans to get what he wants
3. he has either brains or resources (or both) to cause you a lot of trouble, if things turn sour

and the fact that the admins/mods don't ban him shows that:

4. after enough interaction with him, even some of the most psychotic/aggressive behavior (as much as you can demonstrate online, at least) becomes excusable and acceptable.


Anyone who has these characteristics, and switches peoples' values so that this seems ok, should be treated with the highest suspicion. Seriously: I strongly warn everyone against trusting him with anything you don't want to have turned against you the next time he throws a hissy fit or wants something from you.


If you find yourself being blackmailed or threatened by something you trusted him with some day for his personal gain, don't say there weren't any warning signs.

face: I retract my gratitude, because I can still access this site. Also, I'm just going to save myself the trouble now and make use of the ignore function, so if/when I don't respond to you, it's because I couldn't read what you tried to say.

edit: for those who don't know: click User CP, and under settings & options go to "edit ignore list". Add the member (for face, it's just "ConfusedPersona" -- you don't need the "username =" stuff), and it'll render all his messages unreadable. I very highly recommend it. Listening to this guy is hazardous to your mental health.

Snail. A single reference, sufficient to evoke ample concern. Perhaps you'll deny care, but I'm aware that it is there. Where will be your God when I successfully extract all I require to expose your vulnerability, Crypto?

I'll not disclose all details pertaining to my plan, but the overall essence is certainly henceforth evident. You should be worried when I'll be relentless due to my vindictive nature.

 

[Toad]

Yea!!! Face!!! I'm glad you're back. You always make me laugh

 

[Oblivious]

I suppose this is not where I parked my elephant...

 

[Hawkeye]

Meh... It's no giant bird

 

[Claverhouse]

Locked.

Face has been banned once again; and his threats to our server and also to raise an army of undead trolls have been noted.


Yet had he simply requested readmission without threats, I for one might have agreed.
