I haven't been here long enough to notice the pattern you are describing. But I've never kicked anyone when they were down, and I think I'd probably have noticed if he'd got crushed everytime he posted a thread. At the risk of 'taking the internet too seriously' I honestly can't see the problem here. The internet is cunty, something we have to live with sometimes and he seems capable of handling it, or he'd have fucked off months back

so ...The usual suspects cynically use a tragic world event to work themselves up into a rightgeous frenzy of FAKE indignation ON THE INTERNET to whip up another witch hunt of hate against their favourite chew toy, for posting something, quite frankly tame compared to some of the crap posted by themselves. (this is B3ta remember)
and you say
because the chew toy keeps taking it and coming back that its alright? its cool?. That kind of behaviour is ok in your view?
I despair sometimes, I really do.

Especially when you take it far too seriously. It's what they do. B69 posts his stuff. The others pick it apart and take the piss. I sit here and laugh. You sit there and get worked-up into a frenzy of deciding what should and shouldn't happen on b3ta, despite only having 250 posts to your name, and so the world keeps turning. I'm not saying you're wrong, and I won't use 'banter, innit' excuse because I know it's gone beyond that. But everyone has their point to make, you included, so I just sit here and let them make it. Would you prefer it if I jumped to his defence when I actually agree with some of the counter-points?

And I do apologise for only having 250 odd posts to my name making me obviously inferior to you oh great one.
I would simply prefer it if you would just be honest about what you do rather than try to pretend you are all indignant over his "terribly offensive" post.
Just be honest, say it. I am a bully and proud of it
One of those nasty weasely ones who stands at the side shouting "yeah, hit him harder. he deserves it" but never brave enough to get stuck in himself.
don't stink up the boards with hypocrasy and fake rage
try it. Go look in a mirror and say out loud, "I am a bully"

The fact is, it doesn't matter who wrote it in the first place. If I'd written it, I would expect to get an internet kicking because it's an offensive viewpoint.
Just because you've taken offence at our stand against it doesn't make you right or morally superior, just a bit of a twat for trying to tell us how to behave on the boards.
don't stink up the boards with hypocrasy and fake rage...Yeah I could say the same for you. I don't recall you posting on here before, but now you're blaireau's best bud?
Go look in the mirror and say I am a bus wanker. Do it now. The first step towards getting better is acceptance.

Internet nobody makes sick joke on B3ta (home of the sick joke) OMG outrage ensues !!! ON THE INTERNET
I really am having trouble keeping a straight face now.
Maddie joke anyone?
A little twin towers photoshoppery perhaps?
( , Sun 11 Apr 2010, 17:09, Reply)

I assume I'm part of it of course - are ruining someone's internet life and generally being terrible and then making stupid jokes...how is that beneficial to anyone? Are you just trying to up your post count? Make new friends? Alienate yourself? Or merely look a little silly?
Go ahead and make Maddie jokes and shop the towers if you like, but stop with the hand wringing for someone who hasn't even acknowledged your misguided help. He's a big boy and can take care of himself.

My mirror seems to have got stuck on telling me

I'll give it a knock later, see if I can move it over to buswanking.

The plane carrying the bodies back to Poland has landed safely (I think poor Beckys head would have exploded with a bizzare combination of OMGRAGE and aspergers if that one had crashed too)!
Trolls from all over the internet cancel their tickets to the inaugural B3TA off topic Retardothon and levels of INTERNET INDIGNATION begin to wane apart from small areas of London where keyboard cleaners are on high alert with their spittle spray.

Disabled people ON THE INTERNET can't be arsed to be ENRAGED ONLINE over use of "spastic" slur because .... its B3TA!

And I too am not totally lacking in empathy
But coming on to B3TA of all places!
and using it as a reason to go WAY over the top to kick your favourite chew toy?
There are other forums for expressing sincere condolences etc, perhaps the Polish embassy website?
But for the love of god woman, this is B3TA, home of Sickipedia, you get what it says on the tin!
You have posted FAR worse than the OP and such is your right as this is B3TA, but don't give me the OMG Indignant act to justify being particularly mean to someone you don't like. You don't like him, just call him a cunt, this is B3TA, its what happens. Don't dress it up in OMG crap.

Of course I should have said the B3TA book of sick jokes.
Either way still works.

I think the point being made here is that you are overreacting in a large way. Something nasty was posted on a board and now you are claiming that anyone who did not wade in to say 'OMG U R Nasty 2 B69' automatically becomes complicit and a 'weasley little bully.' This may confuse you somewhat but I found the original post tasteless and what is far, far worse unfunny. Because no-one except B69 cares about his holiday, therefore it is not funny. I take with a pinch of salt your claims that he is bullied, since having a quick trawl of search is enough to reveal that he admits to having been a cunt in the past.
And now I am probably the subject of mockery for replying and pointing out the bleeding obvious. You can turn off the internet and walk away. It's not bullying in school or of the weak and vulnerable since they have no choice and no defense. It's mild, diluted scorn on the internet for an unfunny joke.

You are just seeing how many toys get thrown out of the pram when wannabe trolls get trolled themselves :)
I love the smell of OMGZ OUTRAGE on the internet in the morning
You see, they have been free and frequent in the past at dishing it out, but don't like it back at them :)
And judging by the number of Gaz's I have had saying how much ppl are enjoying their OMG reactions .... well there you have it.

That most of the meat puppets probably have more posts to their names than you do. Not that this is a particularly accurate indicator of knowing what's going on on different boards, but y'know.
Also, even if it is b3ta, there are still things that aren't generally accepted. Like Daily Mail readers, or that guy with his nonce-esque story a while back.
( , Sun 11 Apr 2010, 20:10, Reply)

But I remember much further back on B3TA, there have been some really, even for me boarderline stories which have been lapped up and praised as wit not seen since .Noel Cowards demise.
But again, this is B3TA.Its the way it has been since day 1. Do you Really honestly think the OP was worthy of the vitreolic response it got? and do you think you would like to Gaz Rob and tell him that the time is nigh for you to take over from him in deciding what is acceptable and what is not as he is allowing things that you find disturbing?
I don't, not by a long shot. Not by a million miles.

There are some ppl with 20k + posts who are frankly idiots
and some ppl who are members for 5 years + who are idiots
Time served or proliferacy of posting is not the sum of the person.
Although the ability to point at such an idiot and tell them "thats a load of bollocks you opinionated tit" without tugging the forelock at their "superior posti count credentials" is the kind of ability I value.
( , Sun 11 Apr 2010, 20:31, Reply)

To whether or not someone is an online tit. Going by your repeated semi-hostility, reasonable arrogance about what others are saying, and general tit-ness today, I'm going to have to point at you as an idiot I think.
Edit: and the internet white-knightery. I forgot the white-knightery.

I like to think I provide the complete service, I'm just a little dissaponted nobody got down to correcting my grammar or spelling, but you can't have it all. And just remember, a troll is simply a reflection of those he trolls ;)
Oh ... mum says its time for bed, gotta go :)
