Too early?

[Angelsaint]

Can we have Harold back?

Permanent bans is tth equivalent of "let's bomb the middle east" as a solution.

Probably because it is from me many will be acting like cocks.

Isn't there a new owner, the grasshopper from Disney? What is his take on this?

Chrissy has been open to the idea but he needs 3 support votes from the committee before a trial return can be arranged.

And they don't meet until the next AGM so yes it is a little early, PM Bam for a copy of the TTH Constitution.

[Baz]

I'm in the #UnbanHaz camp.

[Giggles]

If Saint could get two seconded motions for his proposal then I believe there could be an EGM called so long as the committee could gather a 60% support vote before the end of the quarter. Article 7c. Chrissy counts as a 30% on his own so he's probably the key.
Might be the only hope of getting him back this side of Christmas.

Can the mods kindly ban saint from posting Harold threads?

[Lewis]

I've always been against perma-banning (and probably still am in principle), and I was the main twat for arguing with him, but you've got to admit that we're better off.

[Magic]

It was when he started fucking threads up and spamming. Goodbye, retard.

[Disco]

I enjoyed it when his ban lapsed by accident and he thought he was back.

[Dark Soldier]

Fuck him, he's never rediscovered his 06-08 form.

[Adamski]

We could trade Giggles for him?

:D fucking hell, you post like you're barely scraping 16. God help the two of them.

I don't tend to post unless it's amusing myself at you biting at anything/everything going. Everyone's allowed their little immaturities so.

Yeah! Let's ban saint for all those infinite... Ehm...1 thread about Harold,yup!

You lost a magnificent chance to be quiet.

I know Dundee is a bit backwards but since when was 16 early 20's? Did the wife eat your calculator?

There's been more than one. Each time you come back it's to act as some kind of Harold fanboy. At least pick a better poster to obsess over.

[Spikey M]

Short of posting shit like child porn bans should be off the table.

[Angelsaint]

Nope and yes, I'm a fan of the man of the people! Champion of the weak, slayer of the system.
Yeah I think you got the picture.

Anywho about the subject, it's less about Harold and more about permanent banning.

I just don't get the point.

Does that make me Kissinger?

[Bartholomert]

Angel why do you post like a retard, surely you've been around long enough to know better

[Kikó]

Harold isn't coming back until we leave the EU.

Trial by combat, surely.

This from someone that supports Trump..

Trump supporters are on average better educated and have higher income than Clinton supporters.

For example, surely you know that an ellipse has three '...'; you do it on purpose, why?

Saint, this isn't the hill you want to die on.

He's gone, we're better off. He made the board worse. We move on.

Why would I " die" because of this?
Why the threat? This feeling of power is sign of the weak.

[ItalAussie]

I apologise. I forgot that your grasp of English idiom isn't quite that of a natural speaker.


hill to die on

(idiomatic) An issue to pursue with wholehearted conviction and/or single-minded focus.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's lying Saint, he intends to kill you.

Edit: Sorry, she.

[Angelsaint]

What I wrote is correct.

[Giggles]

I don't think that's ever happened.

[Angelsaint]

Ohh and since we are in a high horse tone:

- It's a metaphor for realizing that, although you want to defend your "hill" from attack, to do so would be suicidal given the much stronger enemy.

*drops mic*

[ItalAussie]

Fun fact, the urban dictionary definition you cribbed there is backwards. In the "hill to die on" metaphor, you're supposed to be futilely attempting to take the hill (an arduous task, given that fighting uphill is difficult), not defending it.

Either way, it is a military metaphor. But, just to be clear, I don't actually expect you to actually physically attack anything. Don't do that. If the idiom makes you uncomfortable, feel free to choose a less military one, although I can't think of an obvious one off the top of my head.

I'm just saying that this is not a fight worth expending your energy on, as it's done.

[Chrissy]

Saint we could relieve Harold of his ban. God knows it would ease up the other alias bans being dished out. I'll action that conceptual discussion asap.

[Magic]

Lol at an Aussie giving English lessons.

[ItalAussie]

My English, while rudimentary like many of my countrymen, is still a touch more accomplished than Saint's.

Although to be honest, most English-speaking Scandinavians that I've met speak the language better than I do, so it could be a close-run thing.

Can you please go down your high horse?
Even if I was that caricature you try to paint me ( pathetic and desperate that may be),would i think you were expecting me to physically attack you... on the Internet?

The thing is ( in TD language) I am donning you up and down and you use the arguments you can use to reply . A bit too much American Trump trash campaign for my taste but who am I to judge?

[John]

Give it up, Saint. Harold had a million chances and he flubbed every one of them. He's gone.

Find someone else to worship. Or better yet, find out where Harold is spouting his nonsense now and go join him.

Not talking about Harold but why the permanent ban? What's the point? Unless he post pedophile stuff or he threatened someone to life, what's the point?

He did nothing but to annoy people. Is it worthy of a ban? Some may think so.

Is it worthy of a permanent ban? You would say yes if you are someone with mental issues.

So to be clear, the point here is not Harold, it's the permanent ban in itself.
If something could be replaced by a long ban.

[SvN]

If the rules were upheld to the letter, Harold would have about 6 years anyway for all of the aliases he's created while banned. If the board is still around in 2022, I'll unban him and let him have a few weeks to see how he does.

And if at the end of that long ban he comes back and does the same thing again, what then? Another long ban? And another one, and he just gets to irritate everyone with a couple of months off forever?

And you started the thread off with 'Can we have Harold back?' so it's disingenuous to now say you're not talking about Harold.

[Angelsaint]

Yes,yes and yes.

I don't get all this " irritation " going on.
You are annoying as fuck but who gives a shit. It's you that have to wake up with yourself every day.

And this is not about Harold but is about Harold because he is the one with a permanent ban.
You have Louis and his archives to show that my fight against this pathetic action is not from today.

I hope this reach your heads and a change will be made. Commonsense must prevail.

[John]

Common sense prevailed when he was banned.

[Angelsaint]

Common sense prevailed when he was banned. It's strange, I behave in the Internet as in real life so to say I try to be fair and act with justice. What make you guys turn into bullys on the moment you guys are on the Internet?

[SvN]

I believe it's the sheer power of moderating a forum with as many as 20 active users. It's enough to tip anyone over the edge.

You are trying to ridicule me but in the process you said something very right.

[SvN]

Making a post in jest doesn't have to be at the expense of someone.

[Disco]

Six years, is that what it actually adds up to? :D

[John]

There are five of us here with the power to permanently ban people, and between us we've probably had some issue with every member here. Why are there any members left if the power's gone to our heads and we're all bullying tyrants?

Harold wasn't just an irritant. Any time things didn't go his way he'd actively try to make the board worse for everyone. He'd flood every active thread with meaningless pictures just to make reading the thread a hassle. Forget the internet, and take that behaviour into your real life where you try to be fair and try to act with justice. How many times would you invite someone back to your house if every time they came round you had to throw them out because they spoiled every conversation and started shouting over everyone else with their fingers in their ears when someone told them to give it a rest?

My guess is that it would be fewer times than he was allowed back here to do the same thing.

[Mazuuurk]

Saint, why do you even care so much?

If you want to chat with Harold, can't you do that at The Refuge (does that still exist..?) or somewhere else? Is it important that he's around here, specifically? You know he annoys most people on here extremely much.

[Boydy]

Ban Saint.

[ItalAussie]

If only Harold had well over a decade worth of chances to sort himself out. If only.

Look at Ital dying on that hill. Amrite Saint? o/

Well, don't know about ruined but I do see a lot of dead threads.
And he wasn't racist just s bit cautious about the Muslims.

You weren't unbanned Saint, it was decided to not carry across any bans over from TheDugout when the new board started.

Let's not recast history here. Harold was a massive racist. Since being banned, his alias contributions have consisted of taking potshots at black people, presumably because he doesn't need to pretend not to be anymore.

You just absolved him of any accusations that he was banned because of him being racist.

[Angelsaint]

You're welcome, Saint.
Why is everyone talking about this? Did I mentioned or insinuated in any way about this subject?
