Thoughts on d2d
Sometimes I feel a tad frustrated because I spend effort finding interesting stories to post here and those are sometimes the threads turning into shit shows from his hijacking efforts.
Sometimes I also feel like he's entered Splooge territory, and I think about reaching for the nuclear button.
However, d2d is doing his posting in the Tug Tavern, and that's what the Tug is for. It's a catch-all and outer limits kind of place. If d2d was polluting the Hardcore Husky board then I would take action.
Circumstances can always change in the future, but that is the way I see it today. Feedback is always welcome. And by the way, comparing d2d to Harvey Road is about as fucking stupid as comparing Felix Hernandez to Mark Langston.

Allow him to post on one condition: he can't post memes

I have recently received complaints from a couple posters about d2d, and I do understand why they want him banned. There often are times that a thread looks like it might be interesting and then suddenly d2d comes in with a wacky post that seems to seek attention for himself. And then the thread is a complete shit show.

The over/under is 5.
"Harv is 1,000,000 times the poaster that d2d is." -

Wait ... are you comparing d2d to Felix or HarveyRoad to Felix? If you're comparing Harv to Felix, he should be back poasting.

As a victim of scores of bans from Fagman and many years ago now, ESPN, I enjoy the lack of censorship, and I do agree that d2d hasn't really earned a ban. It's obvious he posts a lot of shit to get a reaction, and to be quite honest, most of it's no worse than some of the redundant jokes and sycophantic behavior on display here daily. If he posted a beheaded body after being told not to, OK, sure, he needs a timeout.
That said, he ought to work on posting fewer "exaggerations" and incendiary hijacks.
As for Harv, he can fuck up a bored apparently. Maybe at the time he was banned, with this bored just starting to add members, there was some pragmatism to the decision. I still didn't like it.
I think two years later, the board can handle it better. If people can't (as easily?) make a bunch of names, he can't spend hours in the basement making 30 names to fuck with people. Plus people know what to expect here now.
