I was never caught in any lie. Donnie lied saying I used the R word to him in a previous post. He couldn’t back it up because he is a lying racist homophobe. I win, again. Too easy. TOO EASY!

Reported again for signature.
This has to fall under a "DON'T STALK OTHER MEMBERS" rule, right?
I'm trying really hard to play nice today but you just won't give it a rest.

There’s no point trying to rationalize with leftists. I’m looking forward to the day when we finally separate. It’s coming. We cannot go on like this and remain united.

Lol. Someone is upset about us posting a former user names post. What’s there to report?

It's not stalking, but I've asked him to remove it from his sig 'cause a single post in any area other that OTC won't fly. Too-crass, too-adult... as you'd know, being the original author 'n' all.
Asked him publicly Today
"Picasso, please remove the screen capture from your sig, mate.
It's way-too-filthy to fly if you post anywhere besides OTC anyway. Even 1 post in, say, the RT sub-forum will be guaranteed to cause consternation."
We've seen no OTC reports for 11 weeks, that is, since your ban, and now you're back, well. This one is understandable IMHO, but there's more.

Threat of disclosure of private info? Sooo close to ban-worthy. Follow through and you will be banned.
It happens to be blackmail too. Not a good look Donnie; I thought you were going to behave yourself this time 'round.
Misrepresenting me again, brother.
I did a lot more than that and all I could in light of no OTC rules' being broken.
Yesterday
"This is trivial, unnecessary bullshit. All parties are guilty to some extent or another and it's up to you guys to pull your heads in if you don't wanna come across as children. No rules have been broken; no punishments will be metered-out.
It's just not a good vibe for OTC so I would prefer it if you all focussed on the other things that keep you entermatained besides that single post."
Today
"It's not bullying or abuse. It's teasing, and yes, it's gone on long-enough to become annoying both to Donnie and those reading the threads. This is why I asked the boys to give it a rest. As I suggested in that post, I'm not going to act like a dictator and order people to do this or that if they've not broken any of OTC's guidelines. My request seems to have only had a minimal effect thus far 'though, so I'll continue to point out the childishness of this behaviour and remind folks that it's not the fun vibe we're looking for. Rib each other, make fun of each other, fine, but sometimes "jokes" get stale and become a waste of space. I'm sure you'd agree. I'm tired of scrolling past redundant pics and screen captures myself."
Today
"I ask you guys again to be mindful of bringing things back into the realms of fun as it's understood by most.
Repeated posting of screen captures and pics of one dude gets tired, is annoying to most and let's be honest, comes across as childish.
I think you've "made your points" long ago."
You've become a huge waste of my time overnight... again, brother. Geez man, we all should have better things to do at any time, let alone Christmas.
So, here's the best advice I can think of right now:
Teasers by definition expect and hope for reactions. Don't react. Don't get triggered / upset.
This, in tandem with my continued efforts to get them to pull their heads in, should produce some sort of respite for you.
This much I know for-sure:
If I have to spend hours every day attending to your complaints and mod debates, this time it'll be I who drops the ban hammer. 22 000 members and just like last time, you're chewing up 95+% of my RT time. You must surely know that no other mod would've been as-patient as I was in September and am now; don't push that limit please. For Heaven's sake, just dial back the ReactoMeter™ substantially and that alone might do the trick.
BTW, you know the old saying, "Fool me once..."? If you insist on yet another protracted public debate with me this time, it'll be "... shame on me" brother. Chill.

I'll accept threat of a ban no problem - if I'm breaking a rule. I am not.
If you're using loose interpretations then I'd ask that be considered when applying all rules.
Again, thank you for speaking directly to Picasso.
I very much appreciate it.

Dude, chillax.
If you post a private conversation with someone without his or her consent, it's a breach, if not a super-low thing to do. If you wanna go down that road and make practically everyone here an enemy and risk getting banned too, well that's your prerogative. Not a good idea 'though IMHO. I know 100% that all the mods would see this as insta-ban-worthy.
I've had the rule book regurgitated to me number of times this year but I suspect that folks don't understand that just like most documents, it isn't necessarily fully-up-to-date. Additionally, there's always room for nuance.
Every decent fibre of your being should tell you and everyone else here that it's not kosher to divulge private information without consent. Most kids learn this by the time they reach double figures.
Pics that've been posted into the public domain are a different kettle of fish altogether and peeps have known for decades that it's best to think twice before posting pics of yourself anywhere 'cause it's... forever.

MM, you are the one threatening me with a unwarranted ban. I was ready to chill.
The onus was on Keith not to 'submit' any content he deemed personal.
Definitely a shitty thing for me to do but it's also tit for tat if the mods were not going to put a stop to the
CONSTANT harassment from the guy.
I'M HOPING YOU SPEAKING UP TODAY WILL BE THE END OF THE BORING AND REPETITIVE POSTS.
(I'm shouting at the Gods, not you)
@SQUAREHEAD @psychodave @Picasso
Tease all ya want guys, just come up with some new material. Please.
I promise to give MM a well deserved rest if you guys can listen to what he's asked nicely of ya'll.
On the night before Christmas, a child in a house,
As the whole family slept, behaved just like a mouse . . .
And crept on soft toes down red-carpeted stairs.
Her hand held the paw of her favourite bear.
The Christmas tree posed with its lights in its arms,
Newly tinselled and baubled with glittering charms;
Flirting in flickers of crimson and green
Against the dull glass of the mute TV screen
The hushed street was in darkness. Snow duveted the cars –
A stray cat had embroidered each roof with its paws.
An owl on an aerial had planets for eyes.
The child at the window stared up at the sky,
Where two aeroplanes sped to the east and the west,
Like a pulled Christmas cracker. The child held her breath
And looked for a sign up above, as the moon
Shone down like a gold chocolate coin on the town.

I appreciate the sentiment brother. Perhaps you misunderstood:
I said clearly that if you followed through, you'd be banned. It wouldn't even matter what I thought of a move like that 'cause, as I suggested, the other mods would strike the hammer anyway.
It's just such a low act and it will elicit a reaction like the one I suggested you'd get - universal distain from the forum and a very-likely ban. Peeps just don't do that shit and get away with it man.

Peeps just don't harass other members relentlessly for months and get away with it.
Oh, wait.......
Keith has stopped. No need for me to do anything.
And to be 100% honest, all of my caring about what he and his crew thought about me
went out the window a long time ago when they felt it cool to make crude and lewd jokes
about my 91 year old mother.
(for the record - a 'like' is as good as making the post yourself when it comes to content like that)
Mods didn't do shit - I guess no rules were broken.
Please don't preach morals or what is or isn't a 'low act' when in reference to this forum.
I'm not speaking about you personally.

MM, I know you are trying to be civil... but you'd be better off just ending your headache and banning the guy who was already banned once.

I hear ya Brother Dave but I'm not gonna do somethin' like that due to an inconvenience. I try to operate with a fair, empathetic hand. Every member receives his due consideration. Donnie hasn't broken any rules and until yesterday has been well-behaved this time 'round AFAIC, and credit goes to him for that.
Sometimes a straw breaks the camel's back and it sounds like, for whatever reason, that happened yesterday when Donnie suddenly "turned" and "struck back". It happens.
If you guys had dialled the ad-hominem posting back and focussed more on "debating" the guy, the shit show wouldn't have happened. If Donnie hadn't struck back, the shit show wouldn't have worsened.
Teacher doesn't care who starts the tit-for-tat game at this point and therefore sees all participating parties as guilty and cause for her headache.
In the interest of a happier, fun place to hang out therefore, I implore you all to give it a rest. There're plenty of other shiny objects scattered about hither and thither that one can focus on for entermatainment. I mean, even the best movies can't be watched on-repeat forever; you need a break or an end to it at some point for the sake of your sanity.
The teacher analogy was Donnie's idea and I thought it'd be fun to roll with that, so there you have it.
One last comment:
If you guys enjoy having an OT sub-forum, you might want to consider the ramifications of turning it into an endless shit show. I've had the bigger picture in-mind all along and sometimes I get the feeling you guys haven't thought it through.
You know? I have everyone's best interests at-heart. A tiny bit of self control can make a world of difference in the long run.
EDIT:
Brother Picasso, I see you've already removed the screen capture from your sig. Thank you very much, mate.
