Hah! "Voluntarily banned". One can only assume an indignant tantrum was thrown after some semi-professional goading from dahamsta.

Watch out for micls becoming a touch more articulate and outspoken!

He asked for it, literally. Study. I'd normally tell him to cop himself on and just logout, but he does seem to be an addict. :)

I actually thought about that when I chose the vowel 'o'. The vowels 'i' and 'e' sounded too Kiwi and South African respectively, and the 'u' just sounded silly. So 'o' it had to be. For some reason, using 'a' was the only way the name had a nice ring to it.

Surely Gavin has the willpower to refrain from logging on, and doesn't need this kind of authoritarianism to regulate his habits? :o

Yeah he's a very negative person.

Very pro Cork City. They could do no wrong in his eyes, even though they are crap like.

I liked him. Unlike most people round here he had a pair. Constantly banning anyone with a different point of view just leads to bland consensus on most threads.

I think we should start a campaign to have him re-instated.

It would be like a Monty Python sketch:
'We've come to save you'
'But I don't want to be saved' etc. etc.

Clearly you dont know Gavin. A lot of his college work would be web based etc, also he has A.D.D. Just not capable of focussing without 'authoritarian' force :D

Why the past tense? Or are penalties for infractions around here much stricter than I imagined?

Voluntary or not, someone's still stepping in to arbitrarily limit his cyber-freedom. Hence, it is authoritarianism.

Ummm - it's him! Therefore it's not authoritarian. :rolleyes:

I can't believe I'm arguing over such a dumb thing, but........

He has asked for a ban, yes. dahamsta is the one doing the banning, hence 'asserting his authority' over Gavin.

Just as when a rabidly authoritarian fascist candidate gets elected, it's still authoritarianism, in spite of the fact that he may have been elected on that promise.

Now for God's sake let's stop bickering over this. :D

I sense a logical flaw in your argument.
