Should DarkStar be Un-banned?
Moderator: Vympel
If he only started amusingly pathetic debates, I might be okay with DumbShit coming back. But thats not what he did. He infected every thread there was with his idiotic lying bullshit, and made good rational debates impossible. Keep him the fuck out.
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.

I generally stay quiet unless I think I can contribute to a thread or perhaps score a few points on humor. I've watched the debate, I've read as much as I could find from Darkstar. Sadly he is obviously incapable of conducting himself in a rational and mature manner.
When your best debating tactic is to rebut with your original argument and deliver a counter consisting of "I already explained why", it's obvious you are over your head. But to compound this by becoming belligerent is unforgivable.
Interestingly, I think his best debate showing was the "Canon" topic with Mike. Of course, that fell well short of the mark. But he ded manage (mostly) to stay within the parameters of the debate...mostly.
Anyway, this is the behaviour I have seen time and again in the posts I reviewed. This board doesn't need the extra bs.
Furthermore, many of his insults are unprovoked with the obvious intention of goading his opponents into dropping to his level so he can claim he has been offended.
I say No.
So, he seems paranoid. You all know the saying "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you". In his case, no one was out to get him until his behaviour pushed everyone in that direction.

No way. There's no point in it because he's not going to add anything useful to the forums. He has an acidic nature and has proven to be unwilling to bend to any known rules of civility. And above all, he's clearly mentally incompetent. You might say you would gain some fun by tormenting him, but he's pathetic enough when viewed at a distance.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

Well...
Maybe I'm bias, but I say unban him and thrash him here. We're getting no-where at Spacebattles and we're sick of his posts.
Worst of all, I can't actually ban him for any real reason as he's done nothing wrong either. Damn my moral code of ethics and board law!

If I had to use two words to describe this site, I would choose "nuts" and "fucking," although not in that order. In addition, I would repeat the word "fucking" approximately 15,000 times for emphasis, as this is simply the most ridiculous and ungodly site I have ever gazed my eyes upon. - Lowtax's opinion of DarkStar's Page

I'm definitely on the side of "No".
I don't know about all y'all, but I can only get so much enjoyment out of seeing him get his points ripped to shreds only to have him ignore/lie/repeat his original arguments.
Clever as the insults have been to him in the more flame-infested exchanges, they don't change his mind.
In my own debate with him, regarding the issue of EU canon, I avoided all flaming and what did it come down to? His last reply to me was something along the lines of "you gave excellent reasons for your interpretation, but I choose mine anyway." That was it.
Nice or extra crispy, it makes no difference, there is no changing his little mind.

No because Kier quite honestly doesn't care about Vs Debates, and if we put up a policy about moron management you wouldn't last an hour.Enlightenment wrote:Then pester Kier into adopting a more rational moron-management policy.

As for the matter at hand, I believe I speak for most of SD.net in saying that we're not a dumping ground for people you'd rather not deal with. Deal with it.

I do believe you get the honor of torturing him first.

We all have beliefs, and you don't have anymore right to shit on his than he does on yours. At least he doesn't go callin people fucktard or idiot for disagreeing with him like this place does.
There is as difference between what DarkStar does and what veteran VS debaters do. While the veteran may insult, it is usually justified. The veteran may be harsh, but he is correct. And to a veteran, style is inferior to the substance of an argument.
DarkStar is infinitely worse than the average troll because he lies, he obfuscates, and he does insult people. If you had possessed even the semblance of an intellect, you'd see farther than the polite tone he affects. Since you don't, you need to have such basic things pointed out to you, and that's why a lot of these nasty flaming people seem to claim that, gee, you're a fucking moron.

I think you should just leave the ass-hat the way he is, I joined the forum at the tail-end of Dickstar's reign of crappulence and I saw his completely asinine ideas and debate tactics. so for god sakes leave him be it's not worth it to bring him back and have a redo of Darkstar vs Everyone
I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, please keep me here

I say keep him banned. When he was here, he congested the boards with his nonsense, and thanks to his ignorance, led to annoying debates that spanned dozens of pages. I say any debates with him should be done via e-mail. Besides, if we un-ban him, and then decide to ban him again after we get sick of him, he'll just say that we were afraid of him.
