Piell posted:If your gimmick is you post racist screeds indistinguishable from someone just posting racist screeds sincerely, it's a bad gimmick. Orrrrrr you could admit that you got fooled, like a lot of us did years ago (and occasionally still do). Part of the fun w LoB is just reading regular posts then BAM LoB post and you’re like WTF is this doing here then realizing it’s LoB and laughing. Bonus when people like you fall for it and freak out. Edit: I hate to go this route, but you’ve posted in this thread twice in the last 30 days and that’s it. You don’t seem to be a thread regular. It’s an inside-joke at this point for the IoSM thread that has lasted multiple iterations and mods. It’s sometimes bizarre screeds about religion or literally anything. HENCE “Lottery of Babylon” If you don’t like it, put them on ignore or just stay out of the thread. Boywhiz88 has a new favorite as of 12:49 on Jul 7, 2020 |

Also they do it when there's a derail that's gone on too long to remind us why we're here. Also not every quote is racist.

I don't generally post in the thread, but I have read it regularly for a long time. (see my participation in the previous thread) "My gimmick is I sometimes pretend to be a racist" is a bad gimmick.

But you're gonna anyway because you want the thread to be a circlejerk of the same 6 posters over and over again? Its a valid discussion to have whether the person discussing it has never posted before or if they post here like its their job. I personally like LoBs posting generally, it is funny when people argue with him, but honestly if someone wants to be a gimmick poster they have to take the lumps that come with the gimmick. And its worth mentioning.... Admiral Joeslop posted:Also not every quote is racist. its almost like racism doesnt have to be part of the gimmick. If someone wants to "ironically" post racism without consequences there are places they can do that. Like 4chan for example.

221 pages ago when the thread was rebooted we had a mod request (we miss you LAB) to not just post hateful poo poo. Yeah they're idiots but there's no comedy value and it's not exactly hard to find racism online. I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to see racist screeds ITT. Also, I don't see how it's funny to see people get "fooled" by a gimmick of "posting dumb poo poo, unattributed."

I have to agree that LoB's last post was a bit too much. The best LoB posts just make you wonder how anyone could hold whatever opinion is being posted whereas straight up racism doesn't really trigger that reaction these days.

Piell posted:"My gimmick is I sometimes pretend to be a racist" is a bad gimmick.  Seriously the amount of praise that dude gets for posting unattributed idiotic poo poo is embarrassing to read. It's as bad as the sycophants of terrible posters like SMG and BotL but worse because those dudes actually put effort into their terrible posting.

Like most traditions, this thread tradition is bad and it’s always hilarious to see people come out and defend it like it’s the peak of comedy and not something that makes the thread tiresome for pages at a time.

Runcible Cat posted:The Changes trilogy by Peter Dickinson. Not so much a trilogy as 3 books with the same background (UK reverts to mediaeval times) but The Weathermonger is the one you're remembering, with Geoffrey the weatherworking hero and his sister driving across England in a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost to find out it's Merlin what dunnit. That's them, thanks! I remember now, Merlin's on the junk. To make one last post about lady wizard writing, I need to re-read the Earthsea trilogy one day. I'd hated the ending for years, until it dawned on me I'd read it too young and there's probably more to it than (as I remembered it) my boy Ged's not-so-thrilling tale of settling down to be a middle aged stepdad.

SiKboy posted:But you're gonna anyway because you want the thread to be a circlejerk of the same 6 posters over and over again? Its a valid discussion to have whether the person discussing it has never posted before or if they post here like its their job. No, I don’t ever pull post-history stuff but I saw someone that only has two posts in the last month and thought may not be aware of how LoB works. Piell explained their stance, I accept it. LoB finds some absurd stuff. That last post that kicked off all this was a bit extreme, but again, no one is going “oh haha, what a funny post.” It’s about the interruption that makes you go “what is this doing on SA” and then looking slightly to the left and seeing LoB’s name. What they posted wasn’t ironic, it’s never been framed that way. It’s just an awful post that got scraped from a comments section anywhere. Some posters are commenting on this way more than they have bothered w the person freaking out at T-man, ironically or otherwise. That’s actual toxic crap in this thread.

I mean to be honest, it's a lot better than goons claiming they hate J.K. Rowling and then taking us on their personal Harry loving Potter journeys and what the franchise truly means to them which clogged up 5 pages a few weeks ago and was slowly making it's way back before LoB posted.

The beauty of LoB posts isn’t just that they appear to be candid for a hot minute, it’s the specific interaction when someone chooses to argue with her, and she always pulls out another inane copy/paste out her sleeve that responds to whatever argument is being made. I’ve no issue with a moratorium on naked racism and similar bigotry, though. Ethnic cleansing isn’t funny. E: her/she/her Zulily Zoetrope has a new favorite as of 15:36 on Jul 7, 2020 |

Excuse me ethnic cleansing is very funny. Clean people laugh more especially if they’re babies and Black people should be given space to laugh just like Whites.

Okay, here's my final thoughts on this: First off, I apologize to LoB for not getting the probation retracted like I said I would. I posted in the report that I wanted it retracted and then immediately went to bed, not realizing that there was more to it than that. That's on me. Now, having said that: Moon Slayer posted:Just ... don't post unsourced hateful quotes. Dumb, angry, sure, whatever, but not the hateful stuff. This rule stands. rodbeard posted:Thank you. I've been meaning to type up a big effort post about how even knowing the gimmick it makes me uncomfortable seeing huge walls of hate speech dumped without warning or context. Long story short, it's because making people uncomfortable outweighs your thread injoke. LoB, continue to post all the unsourced garbage you want, just stay away from the hateful stuff. It's pretty simple and I'm going to trust your judgement. That is all.

Sounds like a good plan. Also I'm pretty sure LoB is a woman, just for clarification.
