Tragic. RDJ was never my favorite poster, but I certainly didn't hate him. How sad to have lost one of our own in such a fashion.

On the other hand, RDJ was willfully affiliating himself with a group of trolls and in the end, became one of them. Dry tears only shall fall from my eyes.

It is ended, then.

I see. If that's the case then maybe his banning was for the best. It's just that compared to his behavior in past threads and the behavior y'all describe it seems as if he did a complete 180 all of the sudden. I guess he was just a troll in human's clothing.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

He won't be missed, and his signature picture was simply an insult to HAB standards.

Damn

1st the shitty Tsukihime ending, and now I learn I missed all the good stuff :evil:
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I suspect this isn't the end. I'm sure his buddies over at TK will attempt to start shit over here. Just so you all know, anyone who gets his account hacked because he used a weak password, I'm lobbying for a Village Idiot title.

I'll put it this way: either he has no fucking clue how to use an image editing program, or he was simply making a sig banner that he knew would be annoying.

Oh well, he's written some funny stuff i'll give him that.

He just looked like a dumbass in his last moments though. Idiot.

Actually part of the reason he got kicked out of other web boards and offended the likes of Stravo and Dalton is that he didn't write a lot of the stuff he claims to have written. Flat out he was a plaugerist.

Exactly, and sicne the whole thing got started because he was claiming to have orginated and researched arguements where he was mearly cut and pasting them from here. He was copying fanfics from other sources and posting them as his own work over in Trek BBS (as per Lisa)

He copied Stravo's Matrix fic.

They tried to destroy a fanfic for good. It was Star-Crossed. That's why I simply restored the whole board from the morning backup, to erase the entire attack as if it never happened.

Never really paid any attention to this person. Just another being gone.~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Why can't we get some trolls in the European time zones? It's getting annoying that all the decent stuff happens while i'm asleep. The last big troll i can remember actually arguing with was Armin-ass(II).

No, I think there was a fic posted between the backup and the hack that got completely obliterated...

I enjoyed reading the humourous anecdotes and those "homeless kids" stories RDJ posted awhile ago (before I joined, yes, but I lurked before I joined) - however, in light of the allegations of his plagirisation of Stravo's Matrix fic (neither one of which I've read so can't comment on) I wonder if he came up with anything original. In any case his trollish behaviour speaks for itself. The effort of judging him is largely unnecessary - he made himself look like a fool, and now has suffered a fool's fate. :wink:
