This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dominus Nox, I am calling you out.

The Good Assyrian

Quote from: Christmas ApeEven so, I manage to keep my shit together on a day-to-day basis over there. Does that mean I'm allowed to suggest he's a negative feature of the site?

You can say whatever you like.  As can JimBob.  I think that he is a negative feature as well, but I think that our moderation policy is too much of a positive feature to change on his account.

The Good Assyrian

Quote from: JimBobOzI don't care if he's an arsehole. I care if he's an arsehole who openly advocates genocide.

So we *will* be needing that team of lawyers to legally differentiate between "incitement to genocide" and being a "mouth-breathing moron" then.

I agree with TGA. From the moment I decided it wasa waste of time and giving him an undeserved attentio, I never take part in a OT topic started by Nox, or in which I see Nox taking part.

Don't ban him, just let him rot alone.

Quote from: David RYou're one of the posters I respect TGA, I hope you don't mind me, going off on this little rant.

Thanks, and I don't mind at all, David.  You have made some really good points and given me a lot to think about.

Quote from: JimBobOzWell... I think what David R's saying is more like, "if you comment at all in a thread started by Nox where he rips of Moslems, etc, and you don't knock him down, then we're going to wonder if you agree with him or not."

If you just plain pay no attention to the non-rpg stuff old Nox comes up with, then we can't really judge anything about your attitudes. But if you jump into some thread where Nox is going, "rargh rargh ragheads must die also the sky is kinda blue today," and your response to that is, "actually the sky is kinda cloudy," well...

David R's initial comment was that Nox start a really racist thread, and people's comments are not about his racism, but about minor side details of his comments. It's like "the elephant in the room" or something. If you never go into the room, well then we can't judge what you think about the elephant. But if you go into the room, and walk gently around the edges of the elephant, touching everything else in the room...
Well, that's it.  Might as well start the banning of Me.

I went to that thread the WereKoala thought Nox might have advocated killing Christians (he does not in that thread). I found posts I hadn't even remembered.  In fact, JimBob jokes in that very thread how I must be ashamed to have posted something with which Nox agrees.

All done not because I agree with Nox, but because the arguments against him were, IMHO, stupid arguments. It's not necessary to flame the Catholics to prove to Nox that to advocate Muslim genocide is insanely stupid and inhuman.

So, there I am in a thread (which was started by Pundy, BTW) seeming to defend Nox. Senator McCarthyBobOz, ban me, motherfucker.

Just out of curiosity - Does anyone Know Nox's real name?

 He had close to 5 different sock puppets on other forums.

 Does anyone on this forum think they might have gamed with him?
 Met him by accident at a game convention, but you didn't know it was "him" at the time?

 The thing is, I'm pretty sure I've met Dr. Rotwang at some GenCon - but I didn't know him yet. Somebody on rpg.net said publicly they were arrested by me a couple of years ago at either GenCon or ORIGINS.

 Has anyone actually met him ? Does he still game at all?

I'm against banning him, for several reasons.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

Quote from: Christmas ApeNo you didn't, David.

You did say, in a few more words, that no-one argues with Nox's repugnant views because we're not offended by his calls for race-based genocide.

I'm really trying to come up with a good and reasoned response here, and I generally find your posts really insightful and your campaigns interesting, but if I've got to fight against every dumbfuck thing that Nox says just to win the benefit of your doubt, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Fair enough CA. Your response is kind of how I would like folks who participate in Nox's thread to respond to him...at least as a preamble. Can you dig it ?

David R

Quote from: KoltarThe thing is, I'm pretty sure I've met Dr. Rotwang at some GenCon - but I didn't know him yet.
I've only been twice, once in '06 and once in...'04 I think.  Wore The Tie both times.

Actually, in '04, it was The Skinny Tie.  In '06 it was The Other Tie.

EDIT: Oh, yeah.  As regards Nox: may I again invoke the "monkey whacking off at the zoo" metaphor.  I just ignore him and go look at the llamas.

In reference to Koltar arresting people: Koltar, big ol' Klingon nerd, Klingon charity jail.  Z'at right, Koltar?

Quote from: Pierce InverarityCome again?

 Pierce ,

 You are on one of the other forums that I am on. That Klingon get-up? I wear it for charity events. There has been a Jail & Bail for charity run by the "Klingons"  the past 7 years at GenCon. I've worked that table/event all 7 years.
 Last year , I believe we raised $5,000 for a kids charity. (I'll have to look at my old notes)
SO, someone who posts on the Big Purple & Pink could very well have been "arrested" by me while at  GenCon or ORIGINS.

 Sorry, for the off-topic derail there folks.

That's okay, Koltar... this thread has wandered far and wide. I'm sure your little side trek was a welcome breath of fresh air.

Besides, the topic is a retread anyway, only now with more accusations of Nox love for added value.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

 You are correct sir!!

 Looks like we posted within minutes of each other.

Just got home after a really crummy shift at work.

Assyrian, you're saying so many sensible things in this thread, that I'd have to keep responding to each of your posts and saying, "I agree." I'm not used to that. Keep it up. :)
