And the old guard is telling us to just mellow out and keep the peace? What?!
You should all be angry!

This is probably the thing that shits me most of all. Eric is a chronic nuisance
on this site. Time and time again he is at the forefront of the biggest
shitstorms around here, and everyone tolerates it as though hes some sort of
retarded infant that deserves pity rather than contempt.
Heres the thing - ignoring him or indulging him in his incessant trolling
hasnt stopped him from doing it over and over again. Given that the admins are
apparently MIA what are we to do?
I choose public ridicule, which at least allows me to at least garner some small
entertainment value out of his blatherings, and Im not prepared to give up on
Lugnet yet. If that makes me a troll too, then so be it. Id rather that than
have this place turn into lugnet.fan.eric.
Others choose to leave the site entirely, which is a shame. Its a shame that
this one retarded infant can ruin things for everyone.

However, Im sure Im going to get knocked down and told to keep this
business off the front page (where it should be post in bold 50pt letters)

Not from me. Im spotlighting it. Thanks for sharring.

and whoever is in charge will just create an Eric Sophie Disciplinary
Action Steering Committee.

I think Lar might be available to chair that committee. He seems to have a lot
less commitments these days.

I miss this site so much. This current drama is a perfect example of what is
wrong with LUGNET.

If by Lugnet you mean the membership, then I have to disagree. The real
problem here is the inablilty or the unwillingness of the so-called leadership
to deal with breaches of the TOS in an appropriate manner. If theyre not going
to be enforced, why have them at all? Lets just ditch them and make lugnet a
free-for-all like Jlug. Im all for that - it seems to be more or less the case
anyway, lets make it official.
Cheers,
Allister

| Now, I'm jumping in too :p (...) I agree with what you say here. Part of the problem with Lugnet has been the lack of available consequences for breaching the TOS. The only "sticks" available are suspension or banning, which often seems a bit too (...) (19 years ago, 31-Mar-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
