Octopus Overlords

Last post was in October. I thought for sure we be hearing from him and then we have about 3 pages of fighting between hepcat and himself

As far as I know he took his ball and went home. I don't blame him. I don't think OO was a good fit for him but that's me.

He had no intention of fitting into R&P, and it's only due to the unique qualities of this community that he fit in the other subforums.

Good point. He was a constructive poster in EBG and I'm good at compartmentalizing. I didn't hold his political opinions against him outside that arena.

I hadn't noticed his absence, but it DOES seem like he'd enjoy taking a drive-by victory lap in R&P.

On a related note, I kinda miss Drazzil, too.

One could hope that they developed a conscience and self-awareness. Or perhaps they're stuck on Trump or Elon's perpetual OUTRAGE! machine.

I can make a post, any post, in R&P if a random argument is what you seek......

Let's be fair here: I'm hardly the only person that squabbled with him. And I was downright polite compared to some of the vitriol he got back after his borderline (and sometimes not so borderline) racist, misogynistic or homophobic posts...which, I think we all know, delighted him. He reveled in enraging anyone who didn't believe in his vision of America...until he didn't.

I did wonder what happened to him, but then I saw the "I'm taking my ball and going home" post to one of the mods a while back and gave it as much thought as I give to what I'm going to have for dinner that night.

Heck, I've occasionally tried to smooth things over for you when you've pissed off someone.

That explains the spatula and Costco tub of frosting.

Okay, now THIS? THIS pisses me off!

When I get a tub of frosting for the purposes which you are alluding, I ONLY buy from high end retailers!

He’s implying that you’re THICC. Same product, bigger containers.

Somethings just take a whole lotta frosting over.

Me too, mostly. I only have 1 person on my blocked list over 20+ years, and I considered that one to be a failure on my part.

Not sure if he got banned or just dipped out, but yeah, it's been quiet since October.

I've never known OO to shadow ban, except in the case of spammers and 'clone' accounts of already banned individuals. In the past, actual bans of members were always announced.

I think he took his spatula and went home.

He has not been banned.

Not forcing him to post on this forum is censorship of the worst kind.
