I vote 'Yes'.
If you don't like him - just put him on ignore.

Did he get banned like I had been ?

Apparently - Goons, Ray, Frank and SDM brought it up in another thread. Trying to show some support for him I'd be kind of sad if anyone of us didn't come back - just like if you didn't come back - kind of regard this as a small little demented family - we all have our different personalities and contribute something to the board even if we disagree with each other more often than not.

I think he's entertaining.
Clearly he's just having fun poking the bear in a sense trying to get under people's skin at times - but I think he's just having a little fun.
He seems to know a lot about comic book movies (even if you may disagree with his opinions) and is obviously passionate about his dislike for the Patriots (even if you disagree with him).

On our board, I can honestly say that nobody bothers me so much that I want them gone. I can't say that even with sports boards of teams that I'm a fan of.

I've been banned from the Sixers, Flyers, Phillies and Eagles boards multiple times to the point where I can no longer provide a new email to sign back up again after a grace period - and those are my own teams fans

He got the same people to take the bait every single time. I don't think they're socks as some have suggested. I think they're all just having a little fun of their own back with him. I've always compared this place to a family that fights during Thanksgiving Dinner.

Fuck him. Although does this mean that King Kong Brady was also banned? I mean, it would make sense.

He got the same people to take the bait every single time. This is a common misconception I think. Nobody 'took the bait.' Everybody who talks to him knows what they're getting into. Let's put it this way, I'd rather argue about the Patriots than discuss who made the baseball HOF, because I don't care who made the baseball hall of fame. His shtick became tedious after a while, but I'd rather go back and forth on the same topic regarding one of my teams for the 50th time than comment on the cricket world cup or whatever. Once he started tagging me in an attempt to pull me into every conversation he was having, I decided blocking him was my best option. The downside to blocking him is other people still reply so you can't avoid his inane commentary anyway. But at least you can avoid the threads he starts. Anyway, as I stated in another thread, I would never vote to have someone banned, but I'm not voting 'yes' in support of bringing him back.

Everybody who talks to him knows what they're getting into. I don't necessarily think that's true - note that I'm not talking about you or other guys who were clearly having fun with him but rather certain posters who legitimately seemed devoted to "proving him wrong". Think schlacko from the old boards, or a few others here. Or the Marvel dudes who would regard him as their arch nemesis. Some of them really seemed quite crazed and followed him around trying to convince anyone who'd listen that he's a troll (something most of all already knew). Yet they'd still get worked up whenever he'd post a 1/10 review of the latest Marvel comic book movie.

Here’s my opinion for what it’s worth. He was never offensive really, at least not to me, but Jesus Christ there’s only so many times and so many ways that he can make the same argument that it got old fast for me, especially when the Brady shit popped up in an unrelated thread. “I ate at Applebee’s last night and ordered the riblets, but they gave me 16 of them instead of 18. They cheated me out of two riblets much like Shady Brady cheated by having the footballs deflated.” Everybody here has their thing, but everybody else here intersperses actual valuable conversation amongst their thing. What did DC Fan truly add beyond the Patriots shit? It got so not entertaining to me that it made me defend the Patriots, and I fucking hate the Patriots!
Anyway, at the end of the day this isn’t a growing community so we need the bodies. I hope his ban is not permanent but long enough to give us a break from him. Ideally he’ll lighten up a bit upon return but he’s fucking Rain Man with the Patriots, I don’t think he’ll ever really change - it’s what defines him.

Those footballs were never deflated, and here's the proof" before engaging in a 5-page argument about psi, Roger Goodell, and the Wells Report. I mean Jesus Christ there's having fun with the guy and then there's completely wasting your time, over and over again.

Looks like the YankeesFan guy and his Gary Sheffield love hit the bricks just like NJCardFan - and Marco been gone since Halloween.

I mean Jesus Christ there's having fun with the guy and then there's completely wasting your time, over and over again. I think the majority of us, not everyone but the majority, think that the Patriots exist on that fine line between rule bending and rule breaking. Some things they did may have been cheating, other things got blown out of proportion due to their reputation. I think the majority of us thought the Patriots “did certain things at certain times” that either were against the rules or against the spirit of the rules, but the important thing is we learned to let it go. 50 years from now on his deathbed DC Fan will be crying about Jim “The Deflator” McNally. |
