Theokhoth has frozen over (banned)

[QUOTE="DarkGamer007"]

Theokhoth always contributed to debates and conversations, he seem like a great user, shame he got banned.

You have to keep emotion out and not say anything that can be considered offensive to anyone.....always stay neutral in tone.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

I love how some equally biased people are complaining about how biased he was.

Who cares if he was biased? We all have opinions and ideologies, and we're all humans (not robots) so we're all going to be pretty biased. Yes, there are people who are more biased than others, and one should never let their biases get in the way of acknowledging facts or basic logic, but the only way anybody is going to not be considerably biased is to not have opinions and be on the fence about everything, which isn't any better and IMO, worse.

But the worst people are the folks that are biased as HELL but go around lecturing everybody else about being too biased.

I do admit that he often did try to hold onto points that weren't really holding any more water, but I thought he was intelligent enough that his arguments held water more often than not.

But he was probably justified in being unyeilding in alot of the gay threads simply because the anti-gay marriage side puts out such steaming piles of garbage when it comes to arguments.

I found him to be incredibly arrogant and closed minded. I am also pretty sure that he reported me a couple of times in the past.

I can't say that I am disappointed to see he has been banned.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]You said that Theokhoth was happy to admit he reported users.

Thats hardly something Theokhoth ever explicitely stated. You used your interpretation skills on whatever he said and drew the conclusion that he is trigger-happy. Thats hardly a matter of simply what someone said but also about how you read it.

Then you changed it; that he didnt care to deny that he was reporting users. Thats different from what you initially claimed. So please...

To be fair, what LJS is claiming is exactly out of character for Theokhoth, and I can vaguely reading such posts myself.MetalGear_Ninty

thats too bad. he was a good poster overall. that said, i think polanski lasted longer than he did.

just to keep in the spirit of the thread, i rate him an 8.7

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]Then dont claim so absolutely what other people supposedly did or said.

Phrases like "if I recall correctly", "if I am not mistaken" etc help convey that you cannot prove at the moment what Theokhoth said.

I wont search anything for you.

Also saying he doesnt care doesnt mean he was constatly on a reporting spree.

He reported me more than once :|

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

[QUOTE="majoras_wrath"] Theokoth himself was pretty unyielding in his beliefs so I can understand their point....yet I see exactly what you mean with the posts on this thread.

2. I didnt say Theokhoth didnt report people.

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]What I initially said was it ironic the got banned because he reported users. Now that that's be reaffirmed to you by other individuals you're looking to make another argument. I read his posts on the subject....apparently you didn't. And in some of the threads he was confronted by other users. He stood by his stance....since you haven't seen the posts you can't "claim" what he said.MetalGear_Ninty

I just think he presented him as very trigger-happy or at least as someone who is proud to report people.

Read what I wrote to scorch several posts after the one you quoted.

[QUOTE="alexside1"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] And he got a bit aggressive in those threads....which is probably part of why he got banned. GreySeal9

Well, what did you say?

If a mod saw fit to suspend you for 4 days, you must have broken the rules.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't like when people report either, but if you deserved the suspension, it's not really his fault.

He was an interesting character. I remember back in '08 he had a fairly conservative stance in politics and suddenly one day became the biggest left-winger on the site. I just thought it was strange. :PManiacc1

Well, if that's true, I have a bit more sympathy, but just a bit.

I saw this coming. Especially if you tracked his blogs. I don't know what it was for but sad to see him go. [QUOTE="Maniacc1"]He was an interesting character.

I am sad now. Who is going to post my political and economic viewpoints before I can now?ttobba07

Wow that is surprising, what did he do? :shock:

It's actually kind of a shock to me that he's gone. He's one of the few people I thought would be here for a long while.

Woah, I didn't see that coming. While I didn't always agree with what he said, he never seemed to do anything even remotely ban worthy.

RIP Theo.

[QUOTE="ttobba07"]I am sad now. Who is going to post my political and economic viewpoints before I can now?surrealnumber5

I will continue to argue with him in spirit.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="ttobba07"]I am sad now. Who is going to post my political and economic viewpoints before I can now?cybrcatter

GameSpot probably found out he had been ban dodging. He had previously been Dracargen on these forums.Genetic_Code

[QUOTE="ttobba07"]I am sad now. Who is going to post my political and economic viewpoints before I can now?surrealnumber5

He was a good man. Why must the good die young! :cry:

:cry: I liked Theo. He was quite a nice poster. I'll miss him.
