Post by Pinku-SenseiWe don't mean *telling* him that he's a big fat k00k,
Oh, good, you agree with my assessment of Dorkstar!
Of course, I think most of you are a bunch of thieving idiots and
raving lunatics yourselves, so the feeling is essentially mutual.
Post by Pinku-Senseiand giving him
high-minded and self-righteous lectures about how good on-topic
people behave,
That doesn't work. Freezing him out of the conversation for months at a
stretch, which raam used to be an expert at using to discourage trolls,
might work better--if he were less kooky.
No. Even if the group exists, a moderated group would probably be the
only real solution short of an arrest.
Post by Pinku-Senseiabout what nice reponsible people we are for sticking
together, and other such things to artificiallyi inflate the k00k's
self-created "Martyred rebel against the mainstream" delusions--
How about "Chicken Little?"
Of course, what you both don't realize is that you only are trying to
establish something is going on because everyone in the group believes
it is going on. Nothing about what really is going on is implied by
that statement -- you just try to establish that it is going on since
everyone believes it is.
I'm not here for you.
Post by Pinku-SenseiWe mean "Shoving him down on the playground, giving him one kick of
sand in his face, grabbing his ball back, and continuing our happy
friend-involved game on the other side of the field while he
sniffles."
You mean poking him with a sharp stick? There are people more skilled
at that than raam, as clueful a group as it was and still is.
That stick is going to have to be a lot more than poked.
This is 2008. Not 1980. You try that maneuver, and you might get it
back 100-fold.
You want to shove a person down on the playground, and you better have
the legal force to ensure that person doesn't return.
Post by Pinku-SenseiTake particular note how no ACTUAL attempt is made to
address any point, supposition, fact, or content whatsoever made in
any post by the Troll/K00k, apart from the simple, direct, surgical
Move on? You mean give him what he /thinks/ is a bigger target.
No, what I *KNOW* is a bigger target.
Because the reason that they won't address any point, supposition,
fact, or content is...
Post by Pinku-SenseiBECAUSE -- YOU -- CAN'T.
Because they continue to spread their bullshit to a crowd who believes
them.
Post by Pinku-SenseiI love the k0oKy CaP1tAlIzAtIoN and punctuation, Dorkstar. It really
brings out the most salient parts of your online presentation.
Thank you. They can't handle the regular type. Neither can you.
Post by Pinku-SenseiBecause, if you did, you'd either lie through your teeth or admit I am
right.
"I have THE TRVTH!" Keep it, up, Dorkstar. Your future fans will
applaud this old chestnut coming from someone new. Who knows, you might
actually come up with an original spin on it. Certainly talking about
the business end of a fandom will be something new for them (tint).
I'm not saying it as a matter of "gaining fans". I'm saying it as a
matter of "The TRVTH!" They have it, if they choose to see it and
don't choose to just ignore it because their little fansubbing and
thieving rackets could not stand up to it.
Post by Pinku-SenseiSorry if that comes across as arrogant, but, short of slapping you
physically across the face, there's really not much else which can be
done to express the degree to which you are _WRONG_!
Not only capitalized, but doing the best ASCII imitation of an
underscore, too--you really must want to emphasize your point. What's
next, fake HTML bold and italics tags?
<b><i>Like these??</b></i>
Post by Pinku-SenseiYou CAN'T address the points from your perspective because you not
only refuse to, but you can't address the points with any degree of
consistency with the facts that the fans have basically robbed the
anime industry out of business.
And now he introduces the topic of his kooky crusade. Keep it up,
Dorkstar. While the regulars of raam will continue to killfile you, as
they should, your rants and screeds will find a new audience that will
appreciate them for what they are.
The truth. I'm not here for the thieves. Anyone with a brain sees
the American anime industry (and the entire Japanese industry which is
reliant on the American industry -- note, no comma in that clause
(yet)) is dead.
The best two hopes you might have are a Viz with three meaningful
titles (and no illusions about having any kind of depth of a roster)
and an ADV or whatever those guys are calling themselves this week to
try to stay in business long enough to see the rest gone (which is the
ONLY way they will be able to get a capital infusion of the type they
suppose).
Not much hope there. All hype on their parts.
Post by Pinku-SenseiNo, he tries to Market Himself by leeching onto every thread that he
can, since he never particpates in discussions that don't--
Oh, a thread hijacker? I know the type.
http://flamewarriors.com/warriorshtm/issues.htm
"Issues has an issue and she won't rest until it becomes your issue,
too. Even when she's not talking about her issue it's clear she would
rather be talking about her issue. Something of a secular evangelist, he
religion, her raison d'etre, her abiding passion is....well, her issue.
Not exclusive to any ideological orientation, her issue could be the
environment, abortion rights, raw foods, breast feeding, whatever. Her
obsession, however, provides the key to defeating her in battle; she
can't tolerate indifference, so if her thrusts are simply ignored she
will rage, accuse, condemn, plead and finally, go away."
Well, the fact is that my "issue" is a bunch of thieving cunts who
have hijacked my love for anime. If that's enough to call it an
obsession, so be it. Without that "obsession", there's not that much
left in anime for me.
Post by Pinku-SenseiNot only factually incorrect, but irrelevant to the discussion at
hand.
Oh, it's quite relevant to the issue at hand, which was why raam isn't
as active as it was between 2001 and 2006 and has drifted over to your
behavior.
RAAM isn't as active because anime has fallen victim to the fact that
most of its "fans" are thieving cunts. OK?
If the vast majority of anime fans were concerned with actually
supporting the industry, you'd see more traffic in this group.
Post by Pinku-SenseiAnd when none show up, he tries to *create* "Everyone else's"
discussions
...
Particularly in the last thread, where he resurrected the TITLE of an
AnimeonDVD Forum thread he was unable to participate in (being banned
for life, of course),
Hey, no problem with that. I thought it an interesting topic. I
thought some of you bastards would try to do the OTHER thread (which
was the other thing I was trying to draw into) -- five things they've
done right.
(And then laugh at you and show you how they are all full of shit.)
Post by Pinku-SenseiBanned? Do tell! Could you tell me if he's been banned from any other
forums or ISPs?
ANN, two Hotmail accounts, one university ISP, several sports arenas,
a second university's entire campus, ESPN Conversations, and that's
just a few I can come up with off the top of my head.
I've been banned from more places than you've been.
Post by Pinku-Senseibrought it over here to reimagine it into
Anything He Wanted It to Be, and hoped we'd play along...For the
record, we didn't
Yes, I did. _BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING
DISCUSSION_.
Not on raam, it isn't. It especially isn't when the regulars have told
you for months that they aren't interested. Your continuing to bring up
the topic and berate them once they have started publicly killfiling you
is a kooksign. However, posters who exhibit kooksigns are on topic
elsewhere.
Fuck them.
Fuck them totally in the ear, then.
Post by Pinku-SenseiI'm sorry that I actually read more than this fucking newsgroup vis-a-
vis anime, you sorry-assed bitch.
You are lecturing people who have been following anime for years, some
of whom have been following it since the 1980s.
I know. And they've basically decided to delude themselves. Time
does not grant them authority.
They've chosen to believe they can continue what they've been doing
because they are right because they say so.
Sounds an awful lot like Ric Flair back in the day. "I'm the dealer
because this says so."
Post by Pinku-SenseiI'm sorry that I actually attempt to have an informed opinion, you
moron.
Attempt is the key word. Succeed isn't.
Swing and a miss, moron. My implication is that they don't even
attempt such.
(And, without people like me, they don't have to either.)
Post by Pinku-SenseiModerated group
What's amazing is that this group has functioned really well for more
than two decades under three different names and never needed
moderation. Why would you be so special as to make the group require
it?
Well, that's one way to be rid of me. Ban me off of here like I have
been from dozens of other fora.
Post by Pinku-SenseiArrest
Real cops aren't required here, Dorkstar, just a good abuse admin. Even
Google Groups has some.
Let's see 'em, then.
And, if you knew who I was, you'd realize that, in the past, real cops
_have been required_.
Post by Pinku-Senseior come down to Riverside, CA and beat the shit out of me.

Hey, I'm making it clear what you gotta do. So do it or live with me.
