I just moved into a new house. No Internet yet. iPhone only.
Also, I mostly don't read threads that suck ass to begin with, and I very much subscribe to the school of thought of moderating disruption, not stupidity, which from what I have seen is where pack Bryan mostly resides (stupidity).
If someone is purposefully fucking up threads (say, quote bombing or something), PM me and I will fucking crush them. That said, don't be the crybaby wanker who constantly sends PMs whining about some other user. 3/10/2012 11:16:57 PM |

Seriously. I understand that TSB is the bastion of free speech here on TWW, but pack_bryan is just being purposefully ignorant and is ruining a lot of good conversations in the process. How often do SB people complain about others? Not that often. How many people have complained about this guy? A fucking ton. And it's not just one group of users either. Pretty much everyone from all over the political spectrum want him canned.
Quit trying to make some kind of statement about free speech and do your fucking jobs. Please. 3/11/2012 12:25:51 PM |

pack_bryan's objective is to get under peoples' skin, and when he succeeds it only encourages him.
If you just treat him as a child, assume he is too beneath you for you to get upset, then you'll be happier, and he'll adjust on his own. 3/14/2012 12:41:48 AM |

I don't think he's done anything worthy of suspension. Yet. He will if he stays on here for a while, though. That's a damn fact. Several of you have already pointed out that he's being obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious; that type can't stay in the safe zone forever. He'll either get bored or tempted to push the limits until he's banned.
If you banned him tomorrow, I wouldn't say boo. He's an ass and the outcome is inevitable anyway. For the time being, he's easily enough ignored. So I also won't called for him to get the hammer.
Duke's doing a good job towing the line between "tyranny of the majority" and "so obsessed with freedom of speech that you can advocate hate crime." I got no qualms. 3/14/2012 12:53:49 AM |

while i agree that he does seem to enjoy getting people riled up, it is my impression that he actually believes what he says. if he starts caring more about riling people up rather than stating his point of view, then his presence will be less tolerated. many before him have eventually crossed this threshold and were dismissed, so i will not be surprised if it happens at some point.
but in the meantime, just quit engaging him in his talking points if you find his demeanor offensive.
^ exactly. he was allowed to express his views for a long time, but eventually people started ignoring him. and when he continued to post his views repeatedly without others engaging in the conversation, it became disruptive and he was eventually suspended.

^^^
He was an order of magnitude worse in every way. Stupidity, offensiveness, irritation, and sheer volume of posting...and I didn't suspend him for a long, long, time...and, in fact, suspended numerous other posters for throwing disruptive shit fits over the fact that I wouldn't suspend him (permanently). We even had a gentleman's agreement on how many threads he could create, and what other threads he could post in (and if he fucked that up, I'd can him for a little while). In the end, I think it was some Nazi-sympathizing stuff that did him in, right? I probably wouldn't have suspended for that in and of itself, but the slack in his rope had long since been exhausted.
^ umm, not much that I see, and it has little impact regardless.
^^ concur. I think he believes it. He's not trolling--but he does very purposefully agitate people.
He's sort of like a right-wing pryderi: disingenuous, deliberately inflammatory, and just motherfucking irritating...but as you'll notice, I haven't shitcanned him, either, and things have worked out OK.
I'll say the same thing I used to say regarding Salisburyboy: be careful what you ask for. I can flush pack_bryan, but I will extend the same treatment to any other idiots and jackasses. TSB would become the killing fields of TWW if we went down that road. I dint think it's ultimately beneficial.

Typical pack_bryan post. 60% personal attacks and 40% stupidfuck opinion. You moderators have created a system that allows him to simply take any position on an issue, no matter how stupid, and then just post nothing but insults. I think everyone would admit that insults are fairly common in TSB, but not to this level. This is all he does.
Just ban him for the week or something. I've had a temporary ban before. TSB people never ask to have people suspended but you've got at least a dozen or so TSB frequenters that have voiced their opinion. 3/15/2012 10:50:33 PM |

He voices an opinion (who knows if that is how he really feels) that is valid, you have to know there are people in this country that act worse than that. He is crudely expressing that opinion, but he wasn't really attacking you personally. It is not fun to be called names, but just get some tougher skin and don't engage him.

Oh look, another person who never posts in TSB coming into this thread with their dumbass opinion.
I don't really care what he says about me, trust me. I'm not insulted at all. But the fact that he DOES insult people personally should not be allowed in TSB to the extent that he does it. I'm trying to use this fact to either:
1) At least have a mod talk to him about the way in which he conducts himself in TSB 2) Temporarily suspend him or 3) Ban the shit out of him which I admit is what I would like to see the most.
We all know that geniusboy has overtaken pack_bryan as the stupidest poster in TSB but he has no one calling for his head because he just posts his stupid opinions and not the insults. I don't think he should be banned but I think pack_bryan should.

^ The only people in that thread who flat out disagreed were the known assholes/trolls it would apply to.
Most people said it would be nice to at least raise the bar, but admitted that ad hominem is impossible to eliminate.
At the very least we could eliminate the posts that consist only of an attack. This would wipe out 50+% of pack_bryan's drivel.

No one takes him seriously except the mods. He IS trolling SB and he has the complicit permission of the mods to do so, which is surely going to open the door for lots of other trolls to come in and think they're being funny by giving purpose to their sad, pathetic lives. No one takes him seriously, but as long as he's allowed to perform his schtick we're kind of forced to take him seriously.

Hey Imstoned420, that comment sounds pretty trollish to me, SUSPEND!!
ok jk, but I do read TSB actually, I have only posted very rarely because people usually ignore me or rag me for not reading something. I read it regularly because I can get access to a lot of campaign info quickly, and there are a few opinions that I respect/make sense to me and make me think differently about a subject I thought I already had an opinion on. When my personal opinion is clearly represented I don't post so I don't muddle the conversation at hand. I also find the people left posting in TSB to be totally unwilling to listen to an opinion that discredits their own. A lot of the posters are unwilling to reason with an opinion associated with another view point, so in that scenario, it makes it pointless for me to try if I disagree with them.
I get what you are saying, I think that it runs off a lot of people who just want a real, mature discussion that basically nitpicks to find any holes or new things. Yea, pack bryan as a whole probably keeps people from wanting to post in TSB.
The only point I was trying to make was that what he is doing is not grounds for banning, I am not sure if something else might not alleviate the problem though.
I dunno, sorry Imstoned ... he is annoying, I hope you figure out what to do.

Let him keep posting. It's funny. He's a young "conservative" who thinks he has it all figured out and that anyone that has an opinion that's different than the Republican platform is an idiot. He thinks he's on a mission here to show the "liberals" how stupid they are. He represents his party well.

this place really takes "internet is serious business" to a whole new and disturbing level.
if you think TSB isnt TWW's spittoon then youre going to be sadly disappointed every.single.day.
embrace it for what it is; a politically themed chit chat. quit pretending there is ever any kind of logical or constructive discourse here.
its always 2 or 3 polarized camps vomiting their very typical ideologies at one another as if thats something new. by all means dont stop! enjoy yourselves and relish the arguments for sake of arguing, but dont pretend these things are uncalled for or unique... literally every single example of online political discourse looks exactly like this and so do all the users.
