Crazyfingers, personally I don't utilize the terminology "troll" for I believe it's just not a word I have been savy with being somewhat new to internet message boards.

I can only speak from a Christian worldview regarding my satement "continuity of character". I find it to be a form of duplicity when a professing Christian goes to CF and posts to placate others; travels to IIDB and sings another tune. In addition when this professing Christian sends personal messages to a fellow Christian at CF about the "lost souls" at IIDB while at the same time softening their rhetoric about CF when word has it that CF has been viewing IIDB for quite some time.

I was encouraged to register at IIDB by a fellow CF staff member.

I was welcomed here at IIDB by various indivduals in a very cordial manner. I state that as a fact vs attempting to placate anyone as the individual I have spoken of.


Respectfully,
GySgt

GySgt -

Now that we have confirmation that 2PAC was indeed banned, I would like to address the specifics of your posts as well as correct any false impressions your intentional obfuscations may have created.

This individual registered at IIDB under the agreement that he would not post any material that is "knowingly defamatory, illegal, abusive, threatening, harassing, or racially offensive" (see rule 2). Every one of his posts were racially offensive and one of them added obscenity to the bigotry (see rule 4).

Quote:
The user name account lasted less than twenty-four (24) hours at IIDB. The user name account lasted just shy of seventy-two (72) hours at CF.
Clearly, IIDB has a lower threshold of tolerance than CF when it comes to racist obscenities.

Quote:
The user name account at IIDB was booted by negating entrance into forum (same script prior to original administration approval to post). No message regarding why user name account was getting the boot.

The user name account at CF was negated after two personal messages by administrative staff.
The obviousness of the trolling rendered an email explaining why he was being banned entirely superfluous. He registered at both fora with the intention of getting banned. Perhaps CF feels the need to explain its motivations in courteous detail when it bans obviously deceptive, purposely inflammatory and offensive trolls, but that is no reason for IIDB to descend into farcical pantomime as well.

Quote:
Interesting observations?

The user name account at IIDB received public objection by a professing Christian that migrated from CF.
There is an entire thread here of people professing xianity who migrated from CF. Somehow, none of them have been banned. From IIDB, that is. Many of them have been banned from CF, of course. Repeatedly. With no warning. That's one of the reasons this thread exists.

And now we get to the crux of the matter. GySgt, I have done an IP check on 2PAC and I have done one on you. You and 2PAC post from the same address. Unless you live under the same roof with a brain damaged version of a certain rapper, you and 2PAC are one and the same. You created him with the express purpose of trolling this board and CF's, at which you are, as I understand it, a moderator.

I suspect that you were inspired to do this in a hamhanded attempt to make IIDB look prejudiced against CF users and to be able to showcase a kinder, gentler CF than any of the people who frequent this thread are likely to waste even one second believing.

Quote:
Moral of the story- Regardless of belief or non-belief, If one is going to talk the talk, than they should be committed to walking the walk.
How does this apply exactly? The only way it makes sense to me is if you mean that deception and bigotry are "walking the walk" of the beliefs you talk.

If I have made any errors of fact or supposition, please correct me. Otherwise, you owe this board and in particular the participants on this thread an apology.

Without having a clue as to who are talking about, I would have to say I agree in principle with what you are saying. It is duplicitous to "play both ends against the middle". Its in poor form.

It is also in poor form to create two users at the same message board and pretend that they are two separate individuals. I mean, fo sho dat aint rite, is it homey?

I owe no one an apology regarding anything.

I was addressing the issues of one individual. This indivdual shall no that I speak of him and why.

Your suppostions are irrelevant for I am not bringing into question the banning and/or non-banning of individuals at IIDB.

Respectfully.
GySgt

P.S. I come to any and all message boards through an online proxy server.

In what way are Ms Drusus' suppositions "irrelevant" - either you're guilty or you're not.

It's amusing that this post ended up being right after Annabel's "how is everybody". Presumably, before editing, the post read something like "Pretty good", and was written before Grizzly realized how empty and sad his godless life is. No? Oh, well; I'll go back to my conspiracy theories.

So what the heck was your point in bringing this up, and what was the point of your bizarre impersonation as 2PAC? Are these posts somehow reflective of your point of view?
