I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that this board does support the image of the band. If people on this board are ceaselessly picking on someone, even as a joke, or using excesive racist comments, even as a joke, Habib and the band have an obligation to point out that they're reponsible enough to do something about it. It's a good idea to give off a big warning that there are some things being said that the band doesn't want to be taken the wrong way, by anyone. Especially in connection with them and their community.

Even if it is a joke, things go too far, and not everyone who comes here knows it's a joke. It is just a message board, but it's Sonic Youth's message board, and these are real fans reading this stuff. They have a right and an obligation to dictate what they want to be represented by.

Well said! :)

Habib, if you don't like being bothered by this board, why don't you make a regular user a mod? You won't have to be bothered by us, the losers who don't get out as much as they should.

Just a suggestion, that I'm throwing out there.

He didn't harass me, I brought it on purposely. I TOLD HIM to do it. He didn't have to do it, and it personally doesn't bother me but if it bothers any of you that's not my business.

Does reporting a post send you an e-mail automatically? Or did someone have to physically send you an e-mail through the PM with E-mail function?

If it is the second people should stop sucking shit and get over it. Being an asshole may be lame but complaining about it is even worse.

Sorry for all the spam and shit in your box.

kthxbai


Yeah, if that is the case (automatic emails for reported posts) I can understand why you would lash out at us and shit. So sorry about that.

The only thing that really pissed me off to any extent was that there were no guidelines set down for us prior to the bans so we didn't know if we were committing any bannable offense, but obviously we have all now learned from experience.

Daddylikes 07.09.2006 09:41 PM

Yeah and jokingly asking for her ass isn't harrassment, it was a joke...I never actually wanted to see a picture of her ass.

I'm surry saturnine for harrassing you.

As far as laila is concerned, I never seriously harrased her (outside of saying I'd love it if she declared Jihad on my penis, but that would probably be more painful for me than I think sexually satisfying, seeing as total war on such a tiny body part would almost certainly lead to that body parts destruction).

This whole ban/kick thing is lame. I want to kick the teeth in on some american bastards now.

acousticrock87 07.09.2006 09:42 PM

Hah, Satankernine I think you've harassed more guys than anyone's harassed you. But I don't think they were complaining much...

Apology accepted. Sir.

Can I just change my name to Satan?

acousticrock87 07.09.2006 09:44 PM

Using your real name is so boring, though.

Daddylikes 07.09.2006 09:44 PM

Did you get me banned you vicious Demon spawn?

Tell the truth!

Cantankerous 07.09.2006 09:47 PM

Probably.
Sowwy.

Is hayden really queer? I know it's a loaded question, and I'm not going to harrass him, I was just wondering.

Well, if the way he likes to talk to porkmarras and myself is any indication, he is not only queer, but queer jailbait with a taste for seasoned, well-aged man-meat.

kkk isn't religious. they just happen to belong to a majority religion.

Daddylikes 07.09.2006 10:30 PM

Well what if they got a Church and came together on Sunday mornings. Could they be a religion then?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.09.2006 10:33 PM

not quite.
hating people isn't a religion, it's an ideal.

Cantankerous 07.09.2006 10:33 PM

It's a waste of fucking time if you ask me.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.09.2006 10:34 PM

but I didn't

Cantankerous 07.09.2006 10:35 PM

Astute observation.

Savage Clone 07.09.2006 10:35 PM

Plus, hating people can happen concurrently with almost any other activity, so it's not really a time-waster as such.

Daddylikes 07.09.2006 10:37 PM

I don't know. You'd think if you had a lot of extra-curricular activities going on while the hating was taking place, than the energy and attention that one would place on the extra-curricular activities would divert away precious devotional headspace from the hating. That might not be so good?

Cantankerous 07.09.2006 10:38 PM

Hate as an extracurricular activity. Putting the sheet over your head, going to Wal-Mart to buy the lighter fluid, to the Home Depot for the wood to build the cross...
I don't know, man. Seems like an awful lot of effort these people are exerting.

No man, you're looking at it all wrong.
You CHANNEL the energy into the other stuff!
It's all about the Channelation.
Positate the negatory!

They think of it as a hobby.
It's either that or model trains.

Daddylikes 07.09.2006 10:41 PM

Yeah, I guess they do have to have a sewing session to make their robes/hoods. Most of the Klan members that I've personally witnessed on the television have had very decoritive dressing styles. You would think that a majority of their non-hating energy reserves would probably be devoted to both the Textile (robes) and Construction (flammable crosses) departments. Also they probably have sessions where they practice using a bullhorn, getting tear gassed and how to re-heckle hecklars.

There actually is quite a bit of planning and love that goes into a plain old great hating session.

Stay away from people burning crosses in your yard, but also stay away from the creepy old guy (AssBlaster, I'm looking in your direction) with the model train set in his basement. Usually they have all the model train paraphernalia, such as the overalls and conductor hat.
