Fortunately, there is no one named "ban" or you could be banned for saying the ban is stupid.

Though cokey sure was heading for a ban down this road, I don't think he was there quite yet.
Dead in the water, eh poly?

I do agree that cokey's an important part of OTW, when he keeps his cool ;)
The mods don't care about that any more. Ask playfool.

cokehabit has attacked poly all week long. IMHO the ban is correct. Yes ,the insult was minor, but if you look at the whole picture, cokehabit seems on a crusade against p-p-man. Time to stop that.

I got a laugh out of that - never thought of it that way ;)

There was also the idea that, since poly meant many, I'm many, many men :D

but you are a grown up man and not a 14 year old. Right? And a veteran for many years with thousands of posts.

I think the mods should allow poly_poly-man to unban cokey whenever he likes it. Isn't that how conflicts are solved in real life (without a third person intervening) ?

Not a good idea, methinks. If ppman let cokey off the hook early, cokey would just return to his old behaviour in... a few minutes, probably. If he waited for the original ban to lapse, on the other hand, he'd have the popular opinion turn against him (as many have said in this thread that the ban is too long/too much for the infraction). Better that the mods make the decision, so we can all hate them together instead of hating each other :)

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is easy for me to ignore CH so I am not bothered by his presence. On the other, he constantly violates TOS and I am still sore from his accusations of ubiquitous racism in my country - that was very offensive to me.

Ridiculous.

Now I just don't feel comfortable here anymore.

Plus I'm not ready to admit that I'm not stupid. In fact, I think it's arrogant if you do. Cokey was just pointing out the facts.


Agreed this time. Generally I side with the mods in these situations, but I think this was too far.

I think mods are a bit trigger happy.

I think cokehabit's personality is just incompatible with forum guidelines. Maybe we need a separate subforum where we keep him like a caged tiger. "Enter at your own risk!" :P

It may not be ubiquitous in the country, but it is pretty common here in Southwest Missouri. (and Northwest Missouri, and at least three of the four corners of Iowa) ((I can only speak for the places in which I have lived or spent a great deal of time.)) :(

It is equally as rare in certain places, though. I used to live in a rural town in western NY and I never witnessed any racism until 14 years later when I moved to Tennessee. (I was in middle school at the time and it actually took me awhile to figure out what had happened.)

Sounds about right. Just from my personal observations, it seems like the places that thump the bible the hardest, have the most racism. That's just my personal impression though. Still, it only takes a few bad eggs to stink up an entire area...

Whether it was justified or not I never really cared for his posts.
