Anyone know why? If it is the actions of a particular person, a permanent ban should be considered - if only a warnin. This is unacceptable - a fair fraction of the more pleasant posters have taken offense at something on the boards and left. BOINC WIKI ID: 341585 ·

This is unacceptable - a fair fraction of the more pleasant posters have taken offense at something on the boards and left. I know why, she sent me a mail. And no, it's not the actions of one particular poster, it's rather the actions of several posters. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 341587 ·

Would Beethovens treatment explain why so many posters have taken offense and left? I can't speak for everyone...But Beethoven has intentionally offended many in the past few days... But still regarding Beethoven...There may be a few who have some sympathy for the devil. PROUD TO BE TFFE! ID: 341615 ·

My guess would be the treatment of Beethoven by the mob that runs this place. They have about run me off too even though I am very stubborn. The fact that Berkeley supports their behavior offends me.

Every post you ever make is a little moan a somebody...it's like all you ever do is hang around here looking for somewhere you can go in and tell everybody how hard done by you are. I don't see you coming here and complaining how awful it is that Beethoven called me a ct, I don't see you complaining that Beethoven called Dogbytes a JewBoy. I don't see you complaining that Beethoven posted a giant Nazi flag all over the boards. Is it any wonder we want him gone? If you ask me you** are the one that doesn't get it. Now if only the admins would get it together and ban him, people wouldn't feel they have to take matters in to their own hands. Reality Internet Personality ID: 341625 ·

You just don't get it do you? Beethoven was sometimes in between his trolling episodes OK and tolerable. Sometimes even nice. But his excessive trolling episodes unfortunately outdid this, and even an ignore was not enough imho (that does for plain jerks like Mushbrain or Jeffrey) to deal with him in this state.

Have a nice day, David...I know somewhere in the past someone must have treated you horribly here in this forum...And for that i'm sorry...But as far as i can see there's no mob trying to run you off...You may not be the happiest man on the planet...And you may have a chip on your shoulder the size of the moon...But that doesn't make you someone who is bad in my eyes...Beethoven is another story...A complete;y different story.

I posted some flamebait to her choices thread. I changed my mind shortly after that and edited my post, but she had already answered it. Seems like she didn't post anything after her reply to my post. Regards Hans ID: 341651 ·

Would Beethovens treatment explain why so many posters have taken offense and left? Do you mean the treatment of Beethoven or by Beethoven? It may be neither....Fuzzy appears to have the answer. Yes, I got another mail from Jennifer saying that she has explained in her profile. And she has let the right person know about her oppinion. She also says that she has no intentions of posting here again. Personally I hope she'll change her mind, but as things are I don't think anything or anybody can convince her to come back. So, another person has chosen to walk away from here and never look back. :-( "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 341655 ·

It is also possible that she feels someone else was treated horribly and left because of that. I am not certain which. BOINC WIKI ID: 341665 ·
