    I only know of two people who've left entirely because of a tempban on IJBM.

    Also, thanks for posting this. It made me remember that Counterclock was to be unbanned today.

    Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
    There are people who didn't come back after a simple tempban?

    But dis forum is fun though! ;_; who wouldn't come back?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I really considered the idea of not coming back, and i still hate almost every single one of you except for four or five who i sorta respect and two or three who i would call "good people who i like talking to"

    /Smug asshole

    /Best kind of asshole.

    sure, that's why you're the only IJBMer I have in GTalk

    Because I don't like you.

    Clearly.

    Juan says he hates us, but deep down, he loves us all. 

    Either that, or he's just a curmudgeony old bastard.

    ...

    ...Yeah, probably the second one.

    I'm not old and my parents were married when they conceived me

     curmudgeony

    You flatter me

    Anyway, who left...hurm, i dunno. Bob drops by very occasionally.

    You're older than me.

    That makes you an old man.

    Evilneko and Fargle. Though the latter was more realizing that this just wasn't a good place for him.

    Dunno what happened with the former case.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    @Neo_Crimson: You fall in the "I won't tell you" place. 

    Needless to say, everyone else except Malkavian falls in there and it was because Malk enabled an easy joke on his intelligence.

    I want to know if you like me or not though D:

    And if I can't know I may have to act in such a way that you have no choice BUT to hate me! :D Then I'll know for sure!

    Funny, that's kind of the same position as I have. Except that there aren't really exceptions for me, just people that are not as bad as others.


    I think the reason, why I'm still here, is a strange mix of boredom, curiousity and amusement of some of the inanity here.


    Interestingly, IJBM is a direct cause of my lack of sympathy of some people. My respect for some (well, actually most) decreased greatly as I read more and more of their posts here (Anne is a great example). That didn't happen so often on TV Tropes. It's as if people lose some inhibitions here.

    ^ I'm not really sure who you are :D
  • captainbrasscaptainbrass

    "It's as if people lost some inhibitions here."


    I can see your point, but I rather like that. I think the main inhibition lost is some of the heavy-handed TV Tropes modding.

    I'd like it if it didn't translate into more stupidity, rather than more bluntness.

    not like TvT's better about the stupidity.

    What bugs me are people who get temp-banned, when they should be perma-banned.


    Seriously, it still baffles me that a certain user was actually allowed to come back.

    I'd rather dislike people who voice their honest opinions than like people who modify it in order to fit in with the forum standards. Sympathy is wasted on the internet anyway, it's not like e-huggles are going to solve anyone's problems anyway.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Sympathy is not necessarily e-huggles. 

    and well, you never know what people need, really. I do think that it's a lot better to, you know, provide advice, rather than just mindless gushing and comfort, but I'd say that sometimes what you need is comfort and gushing. 

    It's all situational, really.

    I prefer e-dopeslaps and armchair psychology myself, but meh, context/situational/YMMV/other discussion-killing phrase.

    Armchair psychology has done more damage than any expression of sympathy has ever done.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    you do realize of course, that all situations demand different things from different people as well and that there's not a sure fire way of helping people solve their problems, right?
  • NyarlyNyarly

    Yeah, I guess there are times when giving sympathy is a good idea.


    I'm still not willing to give any, though.

  • InsanityAddictInsanityAddict

    I acknowledge, but do not realize. I subconsciously still separate people into the categories of whiners and people who are just in a bald spot, and selectively memorize to suit that perception. At least, that's what I'm afraid I do.

  • NyarlyNyarly

    I do something similar here, but I include all people into "whiners". Yes, all. Including me.
