Why did PapaG/NewsSource get banned?

[MickZagger]

eh, college nickname. one of many. E-Ricketts.

Jiminy Crickitts.

 

[PDXFonz]

Rickets? That's hella filipinno

Donovan Ricketts is Jamaican

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

then your last name should be "ketts"

would have been way more obscure too, you blew it

Too obscure. I also like it from Chris Rock's thing about the Black Supermarket. "AND NOW THEY GOT RICKETS".

Re: Why did PapaG/NewsSource do to get banned?

I've long been one of the few pro-Papa supporters here. He's taken his meltdown to a whole new level. I don't really get why he was banned from a couple of the posts that other posters linked to as "over the line", especially the garbage spewed his way. Remember those old sayings, "kill 'em with kindness" and "treat others how you'd like to be treated."? I saw a few posters stooping to his level, sadly. It's a big part of why I rarely post these days.

But yeah..... this thing has to be embarrassing for Papa. Quite a meltdown. And whining and crying to the Blazers about it. This is a message board loaded with a bunch of tools. And one of the bigger ones is crying to be let back in and is feeling excluded from this cesspool? Papa has become anything and everything he antagonizes others for. I will no longer bitch and whine about his banning. His schtick has gotten old. That being said, this place is not much better off after seeing some of the shit thrown his way by other posters.

(I will now gingerly attempt to climb off my high horse.)

Repped. His response on twitter is disappointing.

lol, the rip citytwo facebook page.

I WANT TO HEAR NATE BISHOPS RESPONSE. COME ON BRO, SACK UP.

Nate Bishop is a 34 year-old professional student who plays moderator on the internet. What a joke.

PapaG - Seriously, which of the idiots who run Rip City Two thought it was a good idea to start this page? If I'm BlazersEdge, I show them the lack of followers and activity on this board, as well as the Twitter account, and allow them to ultimately realize that they are fools if they continue to be associated with you people.

PapaG - Wow, what a completely boring post. Exciting page you have here! Seriously, is anyone going to try and operate this page, other than it being something that my 6th grade daughter could surpass if she cared about the
Blazers?

Sly, you should let it go. He can't respond here. I think he's overreacting, but don't egg him on.

I don't feel that I'm egging him on. I'm not responding to him, I'm just posting things that he is saying publicly.

NO. Only Admins can manage pages.


P.S. I also think you should redact real names of posters on this page.

But why feed the fire? He may be looking at this thread, and by spreading his inappropriate posts from Facebook to S2, you're just encouraging him to continue.

Anyway, it's just my $0.02. Take it for what it's worth.

 

[jlprk]

Is that Facebook page run by S2? If so, you should plug it here; I never heard of it. If not, why do you allow it?

 

[jlprk]

For those who can't get enough of our PopStarG, you can play his Dec. 2009 classics.

He claimed that Nate pointed a gun at him, so he freaked out all night, claiming to consult with a lawyer and posting fake lawsuit documents.

Everyone wanted to break his neck for that freakout, but only Ben Davis said so, so like Jesus, he was banned as humanity's representative.

http://sportstwo.com/threads/152296-Poster-BenDavis503-Threatens-to-Hack-My-PC

There have been many lesser freakouts, because like a dog mawling a stick, he won't let it go no matter how hard you pull. He is bitterly disgusted whenever anyone thinks differently from him. He's on a moral crusade to save the world with message board fights to the finish.

I was suffering through another of his episodes when I saw a line appear through his screen name. No one else had noticed yet, but I knew this cat had just died his 9th death. I repped everyone involved, as they wondered why, and had a drink to celebrate. See Posts 175-191.

This. And we've already stated our reasons so there's no point in continued bashing him here where he can't (and shouldn't) defend himself. He's done here, time to move on.

How about them Blazers cheerleaders?

Meh... There is maybe 2 girls in that bunch that is worth a look. The rest have great personalities

 

[maxiep]

I'll let others perform their grave dancing jig. I'll just say this about PapaG: I liked his posts on hoops.

He'll be missed, at least by me.

I'm not fueling the fire or egging him on. PapaG made 14 other tweets attacking/complaining about Nate, myself and the site before he made the 3 that I ended up posting here. https://twitter.com/PDXPapaG/with_replies Once I posted those 3 tweets he has stopped. Posting the tweets stopped that fire. I found out that he was also posting on the RC2 Facebook page so I posted those also hoping that he will also stop with the attacks.

I thought about that too. I'm one of the few people not on Facebook. The majority of pages when I click on them I'm not allowed to see. I get a message that I need to sign up for Facebook in order to see that page. For some reason business Facebook pages and the RC2 I can see. Or at least I think I see all of them. You Facebook people might see more than what a non-member is allowed to see.

Anyway, I clicked on the link in Nate's signature after you mentioned the RC2 Facebook page and to my surprise I can view it. That's when I saw PapaG's posts. PapaG's name was there for all to see. It didn't seem like something that he didn't want public so I posted it here. I will go edit out his real name.

Because the people that run this site act like children.

One is a former OregonLive troll and is still trying to get his fix.

Meh, publicly shame him, IMO. Or let him do it himself.... Having real names out and about generally make people less of an asshole on the internet.

I was counterbalancing all the pro-Papa posts you continue to allow, like Maxiep's. Why would you delete one side but not the other? The whole purpose of this thread is to alleviate post-climax thoughts and emotions, so that they don't remain simmering under the surface.

What is RC2? I'm not on Facebook, like you.

Yes, there is a RipCityTwo facebook page. Nate is running it. Denny has made it so a link to it automatically posts on the first post of every thread.
