Won't last long I'm sure though.

you got banned from wp, calandale?
Title: Re: Calandale's WP banning party
Post by: Calandale on October 21, 2007, 10:17:06 PM
Yup. Just for being a gadfly too.
The tone of the entire debate
was much higher on my end,
than on QM or MrMark's. Wonder
if Alex will give a shit though. I'm
not counting on it.


Plus, considering what Odeon got banned
for, and whatever scrappy managed his for,
I was probably FAR worse.

Congratulations.  After I read what you said about Mr. Mark, I knew that it was just a matter of time.

Actually, I doubt MrMark did it. I think 'twas insinuating
QM was homophobic. The timing is right, and he was
near the edge. I KNEW that was a risk, but I didn't think
that he'd be that stupid.

Now, the only question is do I get reinstated,
and does QM get demodded. I rather hope
for the former (though 'twould do me good
to be away), and against the latter. He just
needs to be whipped again.

My banning doesn't quite reach the level of Odeon's

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for either thing to happen if I were you, Calandale.

Odeon was never reinstated and he did a lot less than you did.

I know. But, Alex made some interesting
comments not long ago. I suspect he still has
some of whatever weird feelings that he
has all along about me. Plus, he's grown
rather shy of the kinds of firestorms that
this is going to ignite.

No idea how I'd feel if he made such an offer.
Basically, it comes down to whether I care
about the site, if I can't speak about how
it's administered.  :-\ I'm not sure.

well, he really doesn't care if you're spamming the place. he cares about not being made fun of.

which basically fucked up my chances of being reinstated.

I'm not convinced that I'm IP banned.

I use Tor (a debug error) as not.

Though, occasionally, Tor seems to hit an
IP banned value.

The site's going to swing into being more
heavily modded. That's seems clear from Alex's
response, the banning of Hadron, and the
fact that Gwen is likely to become a mod.

Hmm, how come I didnt get banned, what did you say that was over the mark?

calandale didn't say anything. Mr. Mark was menstruating at the time and didn't see the joking tone of calandale's posts. Mr. Mark was not being civil, I tried to apologize for derailing his precious thread and he just gave me the silent treatment. Because Mr Mark didn't accept my apology I was just going to go tell him that he could blow me because he wasn't acting very civil but alex locked the thread before I could. Maybe I should start a thread there called "Blow me Mr. Mark" and see if he responds.

What should I bring to your banning party calandale. Chips, dip, hookers, beer, porn?

I want to vouch for Alex not being that bad of a guy. And most of the bannings I've seen on WP stemmed from people not thinking about it as a support site, which is what it is. That being said, I have no idea what the hell you did to get banned.

Pretty big assumption that he's using the university's network.

Also, theoretically, someone could do the same thing to you, and since you're so willing to assume he's connected through his university because he attends one, I'd be willing to be that you are.

How would you like it if someone did that to you? You wouldn't. Bad idea.

I don't see how you could get in trouble for doing anything over the internet at a university, why should they care? I fucking pay to go there so if I fucking feel like going to the fucking college library to look at porn on their computers then that's what I'll fucking do. Or is Mr. Mark a professor? That might change the rules.

calandale was offically banned I guess for personal attacks and or defamation/slander by calling Quartermass homophobic, although the argument in that thread was pretty nasty and Mr. Mark was just looking for any excuse to ban calandale. A pretty shit way to go, honestly, but I'm not sure calandale saw it coming because he didn't really do anything to deserve to be banned. Should've at least burned some eyes by posting disgusting pictures with innocent titles to the threads. >:D

I don't think that's completely fair, though. Wrongplanet does have a lot of influence on what the media knows about Asperger's, through consultations over various news stories, which is probably due to whatever he spends for promotion. Better than journalists just making assumptions, because it's really the only public entity out there (of any real size) to humanize Asperger's.

I don't think that's completely fair, though. Wrongplanet does have a lot of influence on what the media knows about Asperger's, through consultations over various news stories, which is probably due to whatever he spends for promotion. Better than journalists just making assumptions, because it's really the only public entity out there (of any real size) to humanize Asperger's. 

Here is Alex's Myspace profile:

http://www.myspace.com/alexplank

He claims in this profile to earn between $100,000 and $150,000 a year.

Someone posted a picture of his house somewhere, and it looked pretty large and expensive to me.

I could not find a value for his house, but there is another house in the same neighborhood for sale just two miles away and they are asking $1.15 million dollars for it.

ive seen mr. mark cuss his ass off on that site, i wonder if he gave himself a warning pm? im taking my own advice and not posting there anymore. its too bad too cause i was actually donating to wp. of course i only made one payment of $40 this month before all this shit happend but that will be my last donation. i cant donate knowing some are getting preferential treatment

I can't believe that you actually sent money to Alex!

I feel sick when people send him money.  Alex reminds me of those TV evangelists who plead poverty and talk about poor starving children in front of their congregations to get money from them, while they actually live in luxurious million dollar mansions thanks to those donations they fleece from their flocks.

For one thing, I'd tend to think that most people would inflate their income if they were going to post it on myspace, especially a guy like Alex who's probably pretty desperate for a chick. For another, why would a college student have a house unless it was his parents house, in which case money he got from wrongplanet would have nothing to do with how expensive it was? As far as I know, that site's been up barely three years, hardly long enough for it to affect a major real estate decision like that.  :laugh:

It's his parent's house.

My point is that Alex is a lot better off financially than the people he is asking for money, just like those televangelists.

By the way, that was not his parents' address that I posted, but the address of the other house in the same neighborhood.

I never specified which fucker.

You did make some personal insults on that thread calandale, but in your defense, you didn't make any in the beginning. I looked back on that thread and Mr. Mark's very first words on that thread were "Yeah, he can kiss my ass." and it was directed towards you. If there was a better way to start a response without getting a fight I don't know. And yes, those were his real words, see for yourself.

http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt46537.html

On one hand it would be funny to ask Mr. Mark to blow me by PM, but on another it would be totally lame to end up banned where nobody could see what happened.

I'm fresh out of sheep. I do have Mr. Mark's aforementioned ass that was ready for kissing, though. I hope that works.

Well, first off, I don't think that any of the "insults"
that I made (except for the deadly insinuation) were
beyond the kind of character judgment which one
should be making about someone in a position of
power. They were also driven by the two mods
posts in that thread - indeed, I don't think I
began accusing them of anything other than
what I could find evidence of, in their writing
within the thread. If QM hadn't joined in, SPOILING
for a fight, it would have never gone where it did.
I'm used to dealing with MrMark, and he tends to
be okay, once you can get him to blow off his initial
steam.

The reason the trolling escalated was more to do with the fact that a mod was acting in his own interest and even admitted it, rather than acting to the aims of the site. So the site became a bit of a joke site, especially after cal was banned. It was not really surprising that it got trolled. That is like a trolling wet dream.

Well, im a real person, but the numerous accounts i got band at WP were not.
The probablity that a screename at WP is a real person you can meet irl is low, compared to most other sites i suspect.
It's full of trolls and sockpuppets of band members.
They may have 10000+ members and 1000 logged in, but i think there are more real people here and at zomg, and many other places i guess.
