Does Raoul Duke Jr. still deserve his VI title?

Post by Darth Wong »

Just curious what people think. He stomped in pretty brash (much like he was in his Hate Mail exchange as Visionrazor), but seemed to settle down after a while.

I'm not voting because I'm not sure.

I do think he posts a little too much, though. It's like he's everywhere.

Last I heard he was enjoying his VI title. In fact, he even wanted to form a VI club of sorts.

That was a while ago now. And I think it was partially as a joke.

And he's improved but I think he still deserves it for now. If he keeps up the good behaviour then remove it in a while.

Mike: Can you put up an option for improved but still not long enough to see if its taken.

I think he deserves whatever title he would normally have. Or maybe a "Rehabillitated Village Idiot" title. :P

That's a good idea, let him have that until he's proven that he can behave.

I thought about putting up a poll like that.

He seems ok now. Is this the first Village Idiot we've had who may just lose his title?

Speaking of which, maybe we should have a Stardestroyer.Net BBS Village Idiot Day, where everyone can act like absolute fuckwits?

In the threads I've seen him in, he's been pretty reasonable. I say he's worthy of at least a probationary period.

Well, he has improved, I'll give him that. But, he's still an antagonist. However, he has been known to admit when someone has a better idea than he does. So... I have no idea what I've just said. God, I hate headaches... and it's frickin' cold. :(

Being an antagonist is not all that bad, it stimulates thought. The point should be is he a reasonable antagonist? He is capable of conceading points if he is wrong and does come up with some points as well.

I believe he should be relieved of the VI title, but Mr. Wong should and would reserve the right (he is the site admin.) to give the title back at any time.

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

How about just leaving him alone and removing the VI tag?

Well, it seems that he's backed out of the debating, and seems normal to me. I say revoke the title.

Every post I've seen him make has been pretty civil. I say let him out of it.
