The Egypt thread got a reprieve, the creeper thread got locked and Bish took his time to do some manscaping, figuratively speaking, on the pubic area that is GAF.
Is GAF too strict?

Also the community mentions and other sorts of harassment. It doesn't mean I get a pass though but some people like to dig at me in threads and I'm not going to be cordial after I see that and we're in an argument.
Not really. You're just being the kind of person who wants to pigeon hole me since I do post about those subjects. I also post in a wide variety of threads but since I'm prolific in gender discussions, this is what happens.

It was suppose to be a sarcastic one?
What's the ratio of humor vs sarcasm in your sarcasm?
Well coming from you that actually means something from what I have seen of you. Heck when I first got here the first thing people said was stay away from devo in that topic on how not to get banned. You could have actually called me stupid in that one peeper topic but i'm actually happy to see you didn't do that when it would have been justified. I think your approach sometimes could use a little work(hell i'm sure mine could to) but you've said some things that have actually made me realize I was wrong and made me feel better
.Welp guess part of what I said above has already been covered lol. I can't imagine what you go through because obviously i'm not a woman but I feel that your justified in a lot of cases. I'm sure one day we'll cross paths over something, hopefully it won't come to that.

I just get short tempered when the flood gates of sexist nonsense open, it's what I need to work on but I did try to explain away some things.
Blasty was a legend. A hero. The prophet destined to take us to the holy land.

Yeah you cross the line sometimes and have been banned.
I think some people just feel a little helpless by the onslaught you lay on people when you feel passionate about a subject..
At least that's how I see it..
Yeah, this gets me too. And not just with Devolution, but all the posters with some kind of history. It just totally ruins the flow of the discussion as everyone prepares for said posters arrival.
Why should I?
That's a shame. Your loss.

What sort of posts did Blasty make? I've missed out on his work, should I explore his back-catalogue?

It´s never a fair trade to be allowed to insult people on forums, or be very aggressive towards other posters, or a detrimental to discussions. She does the same thing in every thread about women. She accuses people of being sexist even though they are not.
Being aggressive and insulting even though one have a good mindset in mind does not excuse her behavior.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. I'm out. Can't stand this shit.
Ok, I have no idea who he is either.

You realize you are asking the question to Wario64 right?
This is like asking Brad Pitt, why he doesn't know some random YouTube celeb.
Jesus. Disagree with her when she does it, stop calling her out in the abstract. Bolster your arguments, put her on ignore, sit around with your thumb up your arse, all are more useful than this shit.

Have you read the posts that she reacts to, though? Nearly every time that I've peeked into one of those threads, the person she was calling out deserved it.
So is anyone going to tell me or not

Most of the time those people have it coming though. If you don't wanna get yelled at for saying something sexist, don't say something sexist. She can be aggressive, but I reckon she's pretty justified. It can be incredibly frustrating dealing with the arguments she addresses.

That was one ugly thread. A bloodbath. Guess I'll go back to the Borderlands 2 thread.
Don't scare me dawg, I get fearless when I'm scared.
Anyway I did some digging and the only thing I could find is that he was actually a she and was mod maybe?
cheststrongwell
my cake, fuck off
neogaf.com didn't deserve Blasty.

Just some random junior who kept posting about how he thought he was going to be banned and was sad. Now he's some sort of martyr for no reason at all.
She's before my time but from what I gather she was a notoriously trigger happy mod.
She was a mod who was vigorous in punishing misogyny. I liked her mod style for the most part, but she was pretty shady behind the scenes apparently.

She had a reputation for banning people who expressed sexist opinions. Supposedly posters felt like they had to walk on eggshells when she was around.
I was here for the last several months of her time on GAF and she always seemed like a perfectly agreeable mod to me. I must have missed something.

You hooked me with the devil.
Gypsy is a bastardization of "Egyptian." these people have wandered around the World and been repeatedly insulted by countless populations. They wandered, without a homeland and for that they were scorn. Hey, if you are sensitive to this and can appreciate their struggles, I apologize for mischaracterizing what is a relative rare act of kindess across the Iberian Peninsula, or Al Andalus if you prefer.
Not being very religious, I enjoy the notion that America is the Great Satan. Most people would just take that as an evil label but they get the candy-coated version of this "mythology." Who (allegedly) stood up to the Lord ask asked why it was that he should rule? Who (allegedly) offered the knowledge of good and evil to man? That's right... the Morning Star. Its funny, you'd think that God was the bad guy, claiming to be all-loving and letting all this shit happen everywhere. I guess it is just a "mysterious process."
666 blah blah blah.
Why did GAF lie to this man/woman?
Sheer wanton cruelty.

Haha, yeah. You'd think people would learn to recognize a ban trap when they see one.
I first saw the creeper pics thread when it had only a couple pages and I knew immediately that it would become a graveyard.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
If you don't mind my asking - what book did Manos recommend?
To ease the suffering when the hammer dropped; Blasty is hopefully now so angry at being lied to there's no space left for being distraught about the ban. GAF is only cruel to be kind.

Nope, still posting.
He was who I was specifically thinking of. Great minds and such.
Trigger happy huh?
Well she doesn't sound all that bad aside from the shaddy buisness.
2 for her not being all that bad, guess were all missing something. Oh well thanks for the info but Neogaf should really have a history topic learned a couple of things from this thread alone.
