John was banned for posting 35 threads in a row of utter nonsense, from what I can see Aaron isn't doing that. As long as he confines himself to a couple of things then I think banning him would be a very bad move indeed - especially as he has become a member of this community and people seem to like him.

(Disclaimer - I know very little about Aaron and before this episode would have struggled to attach a personality to him beyond recognising his username. Sometimes ILE just seems too big to keep track of)

my thoughts exactly, including the disclaimer. Also this is just a day of abusive behavior, we gave d4hlem more chances than that. I think everyone has a right to expect consistent behavior out of the mods but I also think that we're delivering reasonably consistent behavior.

Also I dont think JD was anything but a drug abuser, quite frankly.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 2 May 2005 01:47 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry i keep forgetting he started alot of threads apparently (i never saw them), all i remember were the occasional 'dude i'm soooo drunk' threads and him being an asshole on the underwear thread and him being a yankees fan.

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 2 May 2005 01:50 (nineteen years ago) link

drug abuse is an illness too trayce. albeit maybe not an ilx tolerated one apparently.

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 2 May 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm amazed I was never banned!

this is the thread where you can try to fuck with aaron zanders and fail.

He's started another one now. I'm going to let this one run but delete any further threads - especially if they start to snowball.

Please can someone do some name-removal for me on that thread.

approaching now.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 2 May 2005 12:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah I was defending him but it seems that was a pointless exercise; the guy claims hes not manic but either he is, or he's fucking with everyone, which is even worse, and I'm giving him no quarter anymore. Which is a shame, I like(d) Aaron.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 2 May 2005 22:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Jesus... why the fuck are people trying to engage with him? Entertainment purposes? HAHAHA WHEN WE POKE THE MENTAL PATIENT IT'S FUN TO WATCH THE FOAM GATHER AT THE CORNERS OF HIS MOUTH. Christ.

― Curious George (Bat Chain Puller) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:26 (nineteen years ago) link

It's only recently that this "illness" has become his excuse. Previously it was just "satire" and "humor."

― Andre Dawson (deangulberry), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Momus, I thought you said this was an intelligent community.

I think posts like this one linked ^ go way over the line and he needs an IP ban. (Between the n00d photos, the AIDS comments, etc.)

That doesn't answer my question. (xpost)

― Curious George (Bat Chain Puller) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

First time in my life to agree with Jon, but enforced distance would be appropriate now.

― Curious George (Bat Chain Puller) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:34 (nineteen years ago) link

It does, actually. He was doing this sort of thing before, calling it cutting satire. That is part of why people are somewhat ambivalent to his claims of illness.

i think it might be best for all concerned if someone pulled the plug on this lad now

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, he hasn't mentioned me yet! (xp - yep)

― Andre Dawson (deangulberry), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:40 (nineteen years ago) link

gettin personal with me now about my penis size and sex life. this could fuck up chances of getting pussy with people i dont care about! (actualy im sure my gf wouldnt appreciate it) heres another vote for bannage, please. also he uses my real name. this is crossing the line imo.

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:44 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah he's been doing this for most of the time he's been here really, it started off almost literally carboncopy custos but he didn't really get any reaction with that so he's ramped it up slightly each time to make it more EXTREME. attempts at whatever this hippie's notion of friendship were didn't pan out so he went the 'i do believe i'll start threads about myself' route. the only mental illness this guy's afflicted with is narcissism. ignoring him might be the best route (as with other trolls) but if you sincerely believe he's ill (to be honest i can buy that his parents kicked him out of the house) then banning him would seem to be definitely the most humane action for aaron's sake.

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:51 (nineteen years ago) link

question: when threads are moved to other boards can people who've been posting on that thread or even started that thread continue to post on it if they've been banned from the board said thread's been moved too?

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:54 (nineteen years ago) link

yes

― A homunculus of Darby Crash, .... created for the purposes of *EVIL* (ex machina, Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:55 (nineteen years ago) link

no, if they're moved to a thread from which you're banned then you can't post on it.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:56 (nineteen years ago) link

oh you can? i thought you couldn't (i'm sure there was a thread that went to the noize board and then i couldn't send)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:56 (nineteen years ago) link

to a board from which i meant. mute point if it's not the case.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah i was right!

f u cunts

this thread moved from ile to noize and now i can't post to it

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Is there any good reason not to ban him?

― Leon Jones Reynolds (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

No. If he's going to do anything dangerous, he's going to do it with or without ILX's influence.

― Curious George (Bat Chain Puller) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 18:05 (nineteen years ago) link

he posted bad personal info!

It does, actually. He was doing this sort of thing before, calling it cutting satire. That is part of why people are somewhat ambivalent to his claims of illness.

-- Andre Dawson (power.strik...), May 3rd, 2005.

he is ill. he called me on the phone before he disappeared for a while. he sounded unwell, he was laughing in a very odd manner and was talking so fast and over-the-top as to sound bordeline incoherent. the first thing i thought is that it was some kind of manic episode. i didnt hear from him for two weeks after that.

he claims he is now just 'messing' with ILX but he's kidding himself if he thinks that. he said to me that he 'just can't resist' posting. its clearly a compulsion, whether hes still in a manic episode or not.

i considered aaron to be a good friend of mine, and we had gotten to be somewhat close i suppose. he trusts me, which is why i have been afraid to say anything directly to him and have refrained from posting on his recent threads. i had no idea what his reaction would be to any criticism from me.

but now he's clearly crossed the line, epecially in regard to posting his private AIM conversations with Emily/Roxymuzak and displaying delusional stalker behavior. and his posting of the pic of caitlin was totally uncalled for. he is clearly unwilling to walk away and help himself, so i would suggest that banning him would be the best course of action.

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 18:40 (nineteen years ago) link

He does know choice personal things about a handul of people and has explicitly threatened to post them. I care/d about Aaron, but fuck threatening people that are your friends. The end.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm going to have to agree with all, especially after reading some of the threats from today directed towards people I like.

I got the one comment, am looking for more. Lizards please ban IP if poss.

Please Matt/Teeny/Sean let me know if you've dealt with this thread's request yet.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Frankly, I'm a bit scared, since he's on a roll of posting personal stuff about people on a public message board - he knows a ton of personal crap about me that I would appreciate not having the entire world knows. He says he would never do anything like that to me but I cannot help but be nervous.

i dont understand how this random weirdo seems to know so much about everyone

He's a well known weirdo.

Hi, we are people who meet other people on the internet from time to time and talk to them. Shit happens.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 19:12 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah I think I removed everything that warranted removal but by all means double-check me if you like.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 19:14 (nineteen years ago) link

i think they're mostly empty threats. i mean he threatened me and came out with the most boring shit. "youre in a band and you sleep with gurlz!" wah wah. dont worry bout it too much.

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

but YES ban the fucker PLEASE

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

gareth he is not a new poster, he's been around for a year.. if he seems like a troll, thats because in the past month he's exhibited behavior that is not like him at all. He's my friend and I've confided in him.. in his current state I am afraid some of that is going to be held against me.

dude is naming names (first and last) of people in his hood on ilm and talkin shit. probably not the coolest thing. he should be banned for this.

in that thread he is talking about releasing a comp with my music (as well as ken c, ian johnson, and jon williams) on it, which i did NOT grant him any permission to use. im sure jon, kem, and ian didnt either. legally he can't do that, right? because i sent him an email telling him to remove my tracks or else.

― latebloomer: the rebel sound of grits and bacon (latebloomer), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 02:09 (nineteen years ago) link

hey Ned, sorry, I ran off to dinner right after I posted last, perhaps I answered your question on the mod board? this email works if you want to drop me a line otherwise for whatever reason.

latebloomer yes you are correct, but once it's offboard only you have the power to do something about it. :( Maybe cutty would give you some legal advice!

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 02:42 (nineteen years ago) link

It seems someone got to it already, good. If the banning doesn't go ahead/he gets a new name/IP, whatever, I'll watch out for more.
