It seems our man is not coming back after all. I decided to start this thread as a tribute. Two testimonies:"Great guy" - brazilianmusic (ebay seller) "He was ok" - his widow FREEDOM

He is banned
This is a good thing (one less stupid prick related)
No its not (threat to democracy related)
JLR hijinks
Rockadelic talking to himself
OK, I guess I really could have guessed. I really don't understand why he wasn't banned a long time ago. He's probably the most worthless person who I've ever seen on here. And yes, I'm glad to now have that title back.
"He was just as annoying as any number of folks here on SS, he just wore the wrong uniform" - Rockadelic talking to himself
You won't have that title until Dolo Yeung leaves/is banned. Sorry Crinks.
as annoying, probably - but not funny. which is important.
Crink it all comes down to what we were talking about the other day...
"The only perfect BBS is one that only has one member"
Rockadelic,
If the livelihood of your private mind garden depends on the belief that sabadaba was banned because of his personal politics, then so be it - but you're wrong.
amen
"Let the eagle soar,
Like she???s never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
'Only god, no other kings.'
This country???s far too young to die.
We???ve still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through."
Man...what must John Ashcroft's Private Mind Garden be like?
Here's what's in my private mind garden.....
I've seen numerous posts and threads here about how 9/11 was a U.S. Government plot. Along with these threads came numerous photos, websites and quotes that backed this nonsense up.
There are people here who had friends(myself included) and family members who died in 9/11 who could easily be offended by such posts.....yet no one called for any type of banning that I know of.
Then Saba makes a post satirizing the exact conspiracy theory detailed above. It was very obvious that this was an attempt at comedy, unlike the swill he was goofing on.
As a result of THAT post he was threatened with Ban, and like any one with any balls he laughed in the face of such a ridiculous threat....and he was banned.
If that is incorrect, please set me straight.
I keep seeing folks saying "it wasn't because of his politics", yet 90% of the run-ins he's had here were on political topics.
He dished it out and he took it....and usually when he dished it out he got it thrown back at himself ten fold....and in real life there are plenty of people who can't handle that.
We get it you think this is a horrible injustice. At least Saba knew he was irritating.
I see drewn was just following orders
You think I would take the time to type this shit if I didn't think it was irritating to little weenies like you???
You said you wouldn't tell anyone.
Do I really have to explain this again?
sabadaba made what I felt, personally, was an insensitive post about the plane crash, conspiracy theory, etc.
I confronted him about that and he responded with a personal insult.
I then "put it out there" that's it's funny he's insulting someone who, with five clicks of a mouse could put him on BAN.
His response:
At that point, I ended his game. Sorry, I'm not for that bullshit.
Again - if you want to make me out to be a suppressor of free political thought on SoulStrut, that's up to you, but it's simply not the case.
Could I have used more restraint when being tested and personally insulted? Sure, I have no problem saying that to you or anyone else.
But, I have zero regrets regarding my decision yesterday, no matter how much riding you do for your man.
- spidey
Fair enough.....
Do you think all the subsequent insensitive posts about plane crashes and conspiracy theories warranted a warning to be banned too???
And if so, why do you think it wasn't done??
I have no problem with following rules, but I think they should be the same for everyone.
Was it really 5 clicks??? I'm sure u probably only used 2. 3 max. If it was 5, u wasted to much of ur time on him.
To answer this, I should note that the job of a moderator, as I understand it, is to make decisions for the betterment of the community. sabadaba's entire shtick was based on starting fires on this board. He was one of a few who's sole purpose is to do so. The comment I responded to was one of literally hundreds of them; check his record and tell me otherwise. There was a clear pattern of that behavior. I'm not here to go around threatening BAN on every user who makes an insensitive remark. But, this one had to go. And from the response of the community since then, it looks most of us felt the same way.
You sure? With all due respect, Drewn..
If this was the case he would have started A LOT more threads. He rarely started threads, when he did it was about how much he spent on some bossa lp.
All Sab would post were little smart ass remarks, no personal insults (until recently), just smart ass remarks.
Then he would get assaulted with personal insults.
Another smart ass post would follow.. etc..
You all accept Vitamin because he plays by the rules here:
"If you are a republican and/or conservative (or whatever) on this board feel free to post, but your posts must be free of any 1) smart ass comments and 2) personal insults. Items 1 and 2 are solely reserved for us."
Am I saying Sab didn't cross the line this time? No. He said "fuck you loser" and you banned him. If thats your choice so be it. You did warn him, and he insulted you. Fair enough.
I can't wait.
