    Yep, they missed out on a fair bit of money from me here. There are quite a few LON items that I want and would have happily got the card out for if they had been offered. But no way, no how will I buy a pack and gamble on the outcome, let alone however many packs it would take to eventually get what I wanted.

    I got lucky and got what I wanted for my main so I guess I did sacrifice enough halfling rangers to the range gods!

    I haven't seen any new posts from Benito, did he take the weekend off?

    He reads as a semi-intelligent person who doesn't try to comprehend what someone else posts. He DOES fit the "Bubble Gnome" quite well. My sympathy to his friends, guildies and family.

    And that's it. Continuing to subject people to lies and all 15 logical fallacies is not what I signed up for. If forum activity slows because the cat fight is over, I'll live with that. If folks want to leave these forums because of my choice to ban Benito, then I'm sorry to hear that. But enough is enough.

    This individual has had 10 times more opportunity to vent their spleen than they have a right to.

    I can't speak for anyone but myself, but you've been far more lenient with him than I would have been in your place (rather than in the pits poking him with a stick). You have to balance the community with your own personal feelings, and I think you've done a good job.

    He's done nothing but spew vitriol and venom at folks here, whether they respond to him, or ignore him. And he's made it clear he has no intention of stopping. He knows he can do it, because this ISN'T the OF, he took advantage of the open discourse and good will of the community.

    Am I the pot calling the kettle black? Probably, but even my village idiot ass knows when to calm the <edited for content> down.

    Anyone walking around with a Tekka size chip on their shoulder, well, unless they're a power lifter in training they really need to put that down before they hurt themselves.

    One of our forum rules:
    The official forums have frequently rewarded those who skirt the rules and endlessly sh!tpost and antagonize others while driving away extremely knowledgeable posters who sometimes crossed the line because of how passionate they were. Sometimes you have to step back and evaluate the value that each poster brings to a forum before making a decision.

    Benito brings nothing to our community -- or the official forums for that matter.

    She's also extremely shady and no doubt has a shank on her at all times.

    I disagree, Feldon. He bring strife, disharmony and a cr*pload of cr*p with him to sling at other people, just like the more primitive primates do. It was time to put him in his cage and lock the door and throw away the key. Just keep an eye out on any new people who sign up and start spewing out posts of worthless argumentative drivel.

    Another account with a similar IP? It couldn't just be another Republican EQ2 player from the same region?

    OMG.

    Was I actually right about Oranito? If you can't divulge, that's fine. I don't need confirmation of my sooper sekrit psychic abilities.

    Comparing IP addresses isn't exactly exculpatory but I see no commonality in those two forum accounts. It's very plausible that people will join who disagree with us and feel we overstate EQ2's woes. I'll certainly be watching for writing style. :)

    I'm still here, and I'm Canadian! :p
    It was sort of insulting that you called me Oranito!
    All I can say is, Fukka off. :)

    You'll have to excuse Tekka, she's got 18 different meds to take and she likes to give the Court the finger.

    I know, and I actually quite enjoy boisterous discussions and disagreements. It's a lot more entertaining than sitting around agreeing with one another all day.



    I fess up when I'm wrong. In this case, I apologize for the insult and welcome to the Wire. I hope your stay here is both longer, and more pleasant than that of the 'ito'.

    Also, I see that you have used the correct Tag. I shall have to come up with some ridiculously over done fusion dance, a la Dragon Ball.
