Durp Snark 166: Starting Fresh
 
Time for a new thread.

We will start with a mode note that there will be no more discussion of Doc Cathode’s pictures and videos in general. Doc Cathode is specifically topic banned about anything sexual in nature. (Discuss of the moderation is ok in a different thread if for some crazy reason someone is interested)

Thank you Haj.

Rat Diva 7th March 2025 03:25 PM

Yes, thank you. ::SMOOOOOCH::

Rat Diva 7th March 2025 03:25 PM

That'll probably get me boxed again...

Ahh, that new thread smell. It'll be back to sweat socks and harf soon enough but for now we're cruising.

Not sure how the Doc's dick thing was brought up or where a recent link was posted, but I just want to say I never posted a nude picture in any NSFW threads--here or at the Dope. I do recall sharing via PM, and by request, a picture with my shirt unbuttoned. Almost positive it was PM and not post. Regardless, I wasn't even topless--let alone bottomless. I recall being a bit uncomfortable about the over-the-top reactions, and getting a lot more requests for the picture. That was the end of that. Asked for a :link: in the other thread because I wanted to read the thread again to see why Diamond thinks I shared a nude.

Diamonds02 7th March 2025 08:40 PM

Post #42 in that NSFW thread, you had a link to photo bucket. I realize NOW after looking at it again, you were referring to someone else’s post. And that pic had a 404 message. I assumed in that link was a photo of you. But you were referring to WhyNot. The first time around, I was scrolling through quickly and not paying close attention. I called out you and Doc Cathode because I recognized those usernames. Just about everyone else, I had no idea who the hell the were.

Sorry about that….

Beckdawrek 7th March 2025 09:39 PM

I had brief freshening of the air up in here.

Seems smelly again.

Diamonds02 7th March 2025 10:21 PM

Wasn’t me. I skew towards “loud and embarrassing”, not “silent but deadly”. I’m plant-based and therefore I don’t have animals decaying in my gut.

NoClueBoy 8th March 2025 03:07 AM

Still smells a little funky...

I mean, they’ve had a guy on the board whose name is basically "cornfield" for years now.

Beckdawrek 8th March 2025 10:03 AM

I'm logged out of the Dope. Maybe a blessing:eek:

I've emailed ECG and WhatExit. But trying "forgot my password" thing. It never sends me an email. What will I do?

Yes, they can. They give every troll the benefit of the doubt, until they can't deny it anymore. They want to be fair to the noobs. The only ones they zap immediately are the trocks. The rest, they leave alive, until there is no bloody undeniable doubt. Which always lags (big time) everyone else's impression.

They are not being paid. What do you EXPECT them to do?

They are unpaid volunteers. I wouldn't do that job unless it came with a decent paycheck.

Yeah that sounded strange as I read it. Maybe a mis-remembering of when you and IP met up for a drink? You were both fully clothed.

It looks like his last post and login was almost eight years ago.

It's an enduring mystery. I for one am very curious, because given his posting history it's easy to imagine any number of dreadful fates.

But I don't think we'll ever know. :(

hajario 9th March 2025 06:20 PM

Bob_Blaylock suspended for 30 days for personal insults. Last chance before Bansville

ASL 9th March 2025 07:30 PM

Of course what Ulfreida did to draw the foul was a pretty big thread shit.

hajario 9th March 2025 07:41 PM

She said that it was her last post ever so may as well go out with a bang

Blaidd Drwg 9th March 2025 07:43 PM

At least Ulfreida claims that’s her last post ever, so we won’t have to read again how she is the smartest person around, everyone else is beneath her, and all human achievement past the 1800s sucks.

ASL 9th March 2025 07:43 PM

Flouncers and their steeds…

hajario 9th March 2025 09:43 PM

I'm surprised that Ulfreida didn't catch a warning for that threadshit.

Bob's comment was pretty mild but he does have a history and should have been banned long ago for his homophobic posts.

Jaglavak 9th March 2025 10:01 PM

Bob's first reply was:

Quote:

Like those idiots who did donuts and drove on Death Valley’s beautiful Racetrack Playa. Real jerks. That was in the fall of 2016. I remember when it happened and it still makes me angry.
Quite civilly agreeing with her. And his next remark was straight up casper milquetoast, not to mention factually correct. Just another shining example of the uttermost drooling idiocy of the derp rules.

It was a different post that got him

“ Posts like yours are why most people regard you extreme environmentalist-whacko types as worthy of nothing more than mockery and ridicule.”

Jaglavak 9th March 2025 11:01 PM

Yes, thats the one that is factually correct.

We're a smart crew. Let's put our heads together and reason it out.

What's the LD₅₀ of pepper spray?

Diamonds02 10th March 2025 06:39 AM

Ulfreida is that damn “murder penis” (that’s what she calls a gun) gal, isn’t she?

So she doesn’t like guns or off-roading. That’s okay if those things aren’t her cup of tea, but it’s her attitude that’s problematic. How come certain liberal chicks (and maybe a couple of liberal dudes) are anti-fun? It makes us pro-fun liberal chicks look bad. We should give them some weed to loosen them up!

Scuba Ben 10th March 2025 08:24 AM

The Derp needs a Box. Actually the Derp needs a great many things, but let's start with a Box.

ETA: The tag "pin dick on donkey" makes me laugh. I think my kids' interest in Captain Underpants has infected me.

Just for you, a picture of two dicks.

Ten years in prison. He should be coming out in a couple of years. He might even be sprung today, given 'time off for good behavior.' No women to molest, in stir. How often did he molest the other prisoners, and did the screws see him do it would be the determining factor.

ASL 10th March 2025 03:05 PM

Oh, the guy with the Tuba Diva (may she rest in peace) drama? Yeah, I don’t recall specifics, but I think a few months or a year ago one of y'all posted enough details (about his posts, mind you, not private details he had not already shared himself) to lead me to his live journal (which he had freely shared on the dope), which led me to certain publicly available records.

The details of which I will not share unless and until I get a green light from a mod. Because while I personally don’t think it’s doxxing, I suppose others might disagree.

I don't recall tdn having TubaDiva drama. You're maybe thinking of that guy who was a straight up ephebophile and was literally on probation. He sent some inappropriate DMs on the Durp and Tuba outed him on LiveJournal with information that she gleaned as a Dope Mode which let Zotti to give her a wrist slap.

tdn was creepy af but that guy was a whole 'nother universe.

Jaglavak 10th March 2025 06:46 PM

Wasn't he the one who kept arguing that the Greeks and Romans did it, and look what nifty monuments they left, so it must be the natural order of things?

ETA: The NAMBLA creep

JakartaJane 10th March 2025 06:53 PM

Yeah, I don't think tdn ever gave enough identifying information for doxxing. If I had nothing else, and I mean NOTHING, to do with my life, I would go back and read the tdn oeuvre, seeking enough details to see if I could figure out who he is and whatever happened to him.

But while he shared a lot of remarkably personal details, they weren't the sort of thing that could be used to find him IRL. There are doubtless lots of skeevy guys out there hitting on waitresses and taking bus rides in hopes of scoring nooky, alas.

Ohhh. In which case, yeah, I got no idea who this tdn character is. Glad I didn’t spill the (wrong can of) beans and commit libel by mistake!

Rat Diva 11th March 2025 03:48 AM

Cesario (the one who thought infants were capable of informed consent :gah::barf:) was the creepiest, and the staff's refusal to do anything about him "because we have to honor opposing viewpoints and anyway he hasn't outright admitted that he boinks toddlers" drove away so many good posters...
