Yeah I think, I had some long drawn out argument with some guy which was ok as we were discussing a subject but then he attacked me instead of my point which I guess got enough people to report him. Which is a good lesson, its fine to attack someone's idea, point or response but don't attack something outside that such as the person themselves or their beliefs.

About 5 or 6 people so far for me.
My views provoke people.
You've got 5 or 6 people banned purely because your views are outrageous? You're like a tumor on the face of the escapist; your continued presence here makes me physically sick. Just leave now, and delete your account so someone else can take your username, thus assuaging the fury I currently feel when I hear it...

No, not really. I enjoy the occasional contentious view. Also, I've discovered by writing the above, that I couldn't mount a decent personal attack on a user to save my life... Also, you have an awesome username. Please stay!

I don't think I've got anyone banned, or even suspended, as the result of replying to something I've said. But if I'm in a thread where that level of intra-community aggravation exists, I tend to present reasonably well-constructed, at least partially flame-proof replies, usually pointing out the importance of free speech and that the view I've presented is my own opinion. Or so I like to think

Nope, Im neutral like Switzerland, or Paul! No ones ever tried to flame me.
Switzerland is a backwards country that needs to catch up with the rest of the first world and start invading some bitches. Why would any intelligent person ever want to be like those chocolate-loving assholes!? Also, neutrality sucks and is for lame people!!

Hrmm... I'm going to need practice if I ever want to be a good troll :S
I was also hoping that the above sentence would actually be in flames... :(
Disappointment abounds.

I don't think I ever got anyone banned. No, I know I haven't got anyone banned. Or suspended... I'm generally a pleasant person to deal with. Probably due to my sophisticated nature.

Whether or not I am disappointed [footnote]I am. Just because I am sophisticated doesn't mean I am still not disappointed.[/footnote] remains to be seen[footnote]It doesn't.[/footnote].

you shouldn't let it get to you, I don't think provocation is a defense to posting something ban worthy, especially considering that the nature of posting on the internet allows for more time to think before speaking.

No after a guy personally threatening me on ps3 I watch what I say
Buddy unless he's your next door neighbor, I wouldn't be too worried. If you game online, you are bound to meet angry people. It's not a big deal.
I think he was joking ;)

And personally, No I havn't

I knew the guy btw he was at my school
Ok? Then I wouldn't have described it as on PS3. That kind of made it sound like a random guy threatened you. But whatever.

When i post on threads, i watch what i say without comprimising my point. Thats what i TRY anyway. Whether or not im succesful is to be seen. The fact that I personally have never been banned is a good hint, i suppose.

I've had kind of the opposite happen. I said something, and then someone posted this really long butthurt response filled with random personal attacks to which I responded with "umad?" and got put on probation. Was worth it.

Yes. I called some Marine an ITG for being unable to post in a forum without referring to "librel pussies" and suggested that he always brings up the fact that he's in the Marine Corps because he wants the admiration that the recruiter suckered him into believing that he'd get.

Of course, he flew off the handle at everyone and got banhammered. To this day, I've never seen the words "pussy" and "******" used so many times in a single thread.
Was it that Marine Mike guy? Post a link to the post, please?

You're the one that got Rolling Thunder banned?

He was right anyways, you had no idea what you were talking about and were completely wrong. How about you post what he was responding to as well, then we'll see if everyone else wouldn't have been furious with you as well.
Link to Rolling Thunder's profile?

OT: No, I don't think so. I've sure pissed people off in the past, and convinced a guy that I'm a troll.

People don't seem to get banned for flaming that much on here, unless you mention that you pirated something at one point in time.

Just click on his latest post then fallow the link to his ban post.

Wow... Yeah, I agree with you, Petey Boy. OP should have got the ban, even though Thunder did do a tiny bit of flaming. OP and moderators, I am disappoint.
Agreed, I wonder if the mods read the whole argument before launching the hammer. I would have flown so off the handle to a comment like that. I'm surprised that Thunder was courteous enough actually poke all the glaring flaws in OP's argument instead of a constant stream of insults like I would have done.
