Petition to Ban Sir Hepmann and Eclipsing the Sun

The racist stuff is odd. AshtrayKitten, who I can only assume is one of Helpmann's droogs, is trying to make some pseudo-scientific arguments about physiological differences between blacks and whites, and how those arguments affect imprisonment rates in the black community. He's already staunchly denied that his comments imply that blacks are a different or sub species of human, but I know what he's really driving at. I've not seen such arguments made outside of 19th century polemics, or modern neo-nazi crank literature. Strange, indeed.

Agreed.

By the way, what is the Megan Meier case?

[MollyMac]

So, I care little about banning, but I'd like to at least see some posts edited or deleted so save the Admins' asses should anyone get a wild hair and do something about it other than just soliciting a boycott of this site.

When my evil ass says something is out of sorts... dude...

The MySpace suicide case- cyber-bulling to the extreme.

[Apathy's_Child]

Lori Drew, the mom of a girl 13 yr old Megan argued with at school, went on MySpazz and made a fake account claiming to be a young boy who was interested in Megan. She built a cyber-relationship with the kid then turned on her and started saying harsh shit to the purpose of upsetting her. She got her wish, and the kid hanged herself after an online argument. I think they're suing the mom for conspiracy or something.

[Underwater Ophelia]

Is the mom mentally disabled somehow?
Seriously...I can't imagine an adult doing that. It's insane.

You're the only one who's said this, sparky. I think the racist here is you.

[Apathy's_Child]

I don't know what to make of the whole thing in all honesty. The mother is undeniably a twisted cunt, but it really comes down to how much responsibility can be attributed to someone for another person's suicide. Although of course, the fact that Megan was only a kid (and an already unstable one at that) adds an extra dimension of culpability.

[MollyMac]

And Lori Drew was Megan's best friend's mother and KNEW Megan suffered from depression.

This Wiki Article is a decent enough summation:

The whole thing went from stupid to out of hand to death. This was actually in my neck of the woods.

So it was Megan who had a mental illness, not her mother. Or so I think.
So, her mom, I assume, didn't mean to push her to kill herself, but it just happened?

Well, you guys are drifting away from the subject.
I don't think anyone should be banned because of their beliefs, even if they are some shallow hard-ass racist ones.

[MollyMac]

Megan had depression, Lori Drew (her friend's mother) was never diagnosed, but how stable could she have been to instigate this?

And fuck the subject, if it was worth staying on, we would have.

banned for their beliefs? No. Banned for abuse? Yes. Banned for going against forum rules? Yes.

[Ra_star]

Awk, you really dont like us, do you?
You're all trying so hard.

[Underwater Ophelia]

Lol, you're ugly and you have a shitty dyejob.

[Underwater Ophelia]

This makes it better.

If no one seems to be moderating or adminin' this board, why be on it? Buy yourself a domain and hose your own, make it better than the cesspool that is now Gnet. If it's really that important to some people that is.

[Eclipsing the Son]

Spamming the forum with tits isn't really helping you guys.

Especially if you want to insist on reporting poor posts.

I agree.

If you don't like a thread, don't post on it, rather than wasting your time covering them with breasts.

Everyones different, there are bound to be threads that people won't like, everything can't be what you want, stop being so selfish and uptight.

I agree.
Also, its getting a bit boring and doing very little for your reputation.
The fact that theres quite a few of you doing it proves you to be nothing more than your common sheep.

Goths indeed...fucking conformists.

[Underwater Ophelia]

How the hell is looking at boobs a waste of time?

They seem hell bent on the destruction of their own forum and reputation

What about my common sheep?
Oh wait, I get it.

Dumb and ugly.
You must have a hell of a time.

[Eclipsing the Son]

Well. Every tit link post has been reported.

Lets see how that stands against the reporting of our well spoken opinions.

[Underwater Ophelia]

Unfortunately for you, posting tit links that contain no nudity doesn't hurt the admin's chances of making money off of this site.

Your presence does. If you make everyone leave, then the admin has no one to advertise to. Admin is much more likely to ban you.

[Eclipsing the Son]

The tit links are spam. If people want to leave that is up to them.

There are FAR more posts by long time members saying the forum is the best its ever been since our arrival than there are posts saying we are ruining the place.

One person has claimed to leave because of us. Though I'm sure the admin's abilities will allow them to show that they are still lurking about.

Spamming threads with links to off subject pictures for no other reason than to derail threads is a pretty obvious sign of lowering the site's credibility and standards.

This is that last I'll speak on the subject. I will not feed the trolls.

[tekajo]

What credibility? In what circle? Molly may not want to hear me bring this up ONE more time but in my opinion Gothic.net lost it's credibility sometime in '04. But that's a totally different story.

Your Comedy Troupe was indeed entertaining when it was arguing back and forth with established members. It was when it became petty, vile, and childish it ceased to be entertaining. It was equal to Baseketball at that point.

The reporting of cleavage (i never saw any exposed breasts) links is the apocalypse y'all plan to rain down upon this "world"? Again, childish and petty.

i am disappointed. i really expected more from y'all.

The Troupe is going on the ignore list. A pity.
