That Other Board

Isn't that the essence of liberalism, Dave?

Here's an interesting detail, just between us girls. Wabash has been warned 34 times and banned 11 times, yet he's still there. Meanwhile, some on this forum were banned with few or any warnings or previous temporary bans. Nothing like an even-handed moderator.

P.S. For some bizarre reason, he's also changed his login password 10 times.

That is too funny.  I thought I was a jerk for getting banned & coming back once (only to get banned again), but coming back 11 times is amazing.  He is like the illegal alien they keep deporting but who sneaks right back in.

I got banned once from a bass fishing website.  One of the moderators was a mouthy dude from New Jersey and I got on his bad side (imagine me doing that!!).  When I wrote something disparaging about his heart throb Tom Brady, he flipped out & gave me a warning & a week suspension.  The published rules for the site was 5 warnings & you were banned, so at the end of the week, I tried to log back in, but couldn't.  I PM'd the site administrator, who said "they" talked about it and felt that I probably wouldn't learn my lesson from this one warning & would most likely continue to write things that would receive warnings, so they banned me now instead later.

So essentially, I got banned for what I might write...

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  He never snuck back in.  He was banned 11 times, but they were all short-term (a day or two) and then he was welcomed back with open arms.  

They must have thought you were a real bass turd.

(Sorry, but when one has a gift for puns one feels an obligation to share it with society)

Wabash is such a bizarre character. If the board were a symphony, he’d be the guy with cymbals just randomly clanging them together making the same goddam monotonal sound over and over no matter what the passage or tempo. It became comical but, yeah, I had to put him on ignore also.

I may be confusing my websites, but isn’t he the same guy called e rosewater several years ago? Too many parallels............Luca

Yeah, I was pretty sure they were one & the same.  Rosewater got banned (as opposed to suspended) and then Wabash popped up.

Both loved to use the term "swamp fever" until a few people pointed that out, then Wabash dropped it from his vocabulary.

The thing I found funny about Wabash was he was basically a dolt.  A persistent, determined dolt, but a dolt nonetheless.  It was easy to predict his responses to posts, so if you engaged him one-on-one, you could lead him down a path to a dead end where he was basically arguing against himself.  That wouldn't stop him, like the little worker ant trying to drag the breadcrumb home, he would just reverse course and keep plugging along.

One of the most fun times I had was him was when he made some off handed, implied insult about my wife.  I immediately donned the victim mantle and posted that what he said was offensive because my wife had just passed away a month earlier (100% not true).  He took it seriously, trying to prove that I was lying by bringing up past posts where I had mentioned my wife in the present tense.  I continued to claim I was offended by his accusations, with each of my posts about her death getting more & more absurd.  I believe Red (coach) even posted that he had gone to the funeral.  Wabash thought it was admirable to try to prove that my wife was still alive, so therefore insulting her was acceptable. 

Wabash is too dumb to realize when you are screwing with him, he is like the straight man in a Monty Python sketch.
