Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

He mocked us for the Stompy Foot post. The "piss you off later" is an indication of how much he cares that he annoys the dren out of people.
Kat, I'm sorry about making you uncomfortable with the venting in Natter, although it's true that it is a historic Buffista tradition. I would never consider venting in Natter about someone I consider a Buffista; but it's clear m. doesn't consider himself a member of the community.
I'll try to restrain myself in future.
But yes, people aren't going to the FF thread because of this one poster. That's not a good sign.
Wow, stay away for a few days and you miss a lot. Anyhoo, I noticed the FAQ says:
Buffy is currently shown twice a day on FX at both 8 AM (7 AM Central) and 7 PM (6 PM Central). The weekend syndication runs at various times of the day, as determined by the individual television station.
...which I believe is incorrect. Doesn't it show at 6
and
7 PM (ET)? And the same two eps the following morning (though I'm not so sure of the time on that, heh.)
I'd say the guy has earned his suspension. He has never apologized. He has been warned once. And his last set of post are definitely personal attacks. I know that calling a person's position obtuse is not always the same as calling that person obtuse. But in context, with the tone of everything else this is clearly what is meant. That is a personal attack, and thus not borderline, but a clear violation. All this is my opinion, only - but I would urge the stompy foots to suspend M at this point.
There is no question he violates the spirit of the Buffista rules. And I have argued above, he violates the letter as well.
Okay, well. You all know what my vote is.
I'm gonna go relax and swing.
Boy, did I pick a good time to be gone. (Well, yes, holidays, but nice coincidence.) Hugs, support, and power to the Stompy Feet.
t dashing out again
I'm not a stompy foot, but I think he should be suspsend, he just comes in here and deliberatly pushes buttons, makes insults and treats us like we are stupid.
Wow. Those were the most intentionally rude posts I've ever read.
Do we have a consensus for stomp, then?
Do we have a consensus for stomp, then?
I'm in agreement. I don't know that he's a troll exactly (I think his problem is more the persecution complex of the intellectually conceited), but it doesn't really matter. He's violated community standards, he's been stompy-foot warned, he's continued to offend community members. And, roughly, promised more to come. By the etiquette guide we established, suspension is the mandated action, and I don't see any reason to make an exception.
My posts about mieskie have sounded ambivalent, but I do agree with the reasons people have given for classifying him as a troll, and I think suspending him would be entirely appropriate. His future is on Usenet. I don't think there's any division in our community over this. Any newbie who might object ought to find this discussion convincing. I did.
