Helps if you have a vague idea of the lyrics of Stan (c) Eminem 2001 !


Dear Mycroft, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your Dog's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your Soarer that
and here's an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it cos the Soarers crap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
I did that **** intentionally just to diss you
But what's this **** you said about you like talk Bullsh1t too?
I say that **** just clownin dogg,
c'mon - how f*cked up is you?
You got some issues Mycroft, I think you need a decent car
to help your *** from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this **** about us meant to buy a Lexus ?
That type of ****'ll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your Right Hand need each other
or maybe you just need to buy an Impreza
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Mycroft
why are you so Sad? Try to understand,
that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy ****
I seen this one **** on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his ego over a bridge
and had his attitude in the trunk, and it was indignant like a kid
and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was .. it was you
Damn!

It would not be fair to go in to the details
You can't ban someone without telling the community the reasons for this ban surely?
I personally do not know who this person is and have never read any of their posts but am curious as to why you felt it necessary to ban someone from a bbs and not give a reason.
explain

Saw a green soarer today, thought of Mycroft, felt sorry for the owner (by association), smiled, got on with life.

About time.

Well done Simon.

Coffey, who are you ordering around? Do a search for Mycroft, settle back and have a read - you will soon realise why he's gone. Good riddance to a deluded fool. IMHO, of course

Can I be next Simon ?

It would almost feel like a kudo to be banned from here.

Very bad decision, but then again, I already knew you don't really have the time to read Scoobynet anymore.

So it was just him ? Not the people constantly (and boringly) rising to the bait ?

I'm sure Scoobynet will be *heaven* now he is gone.

Pfft.

Hi Theo

Unfortunately I'm going to disgree with you on this one but I'm sure you'll still be my friend People like Mycroft have taken away the "community" spirit, those who have risen to the bait may have done so because of being totally exaspirated by the idiocy of the bloke (I know I have) YES its just the internet but a once fruitful well of knowledge and general good spirit has been undermined by the likes of him. Just a quick question Theo - wjy do you think it was a bad idea to ban him?

Regards

Rich

Rich, quick answer: he was playing a role that Scoobynet invited him to play.

Look, it's not about that dude... banning him solves nothing really.

Have you noticed how many people felt the need to crawl all over him after the last "should he be banned" thread ?

Why not ban people like Popeye etc ? The UK redneck contingent ? Gay bashers ? People constantly shouting "oooh, PC" or "treehuggers" ? Generally pretty stupid people ?

I've seen things posted since his "parol" that were way more insulting to people with 50+ IQ. In fact, I've seen that for quite a while now even before Mycroft posted here for the first time.

In short... it's window dressing. He's the obvious person to ban, the rest of the ***** (you'll need SwearFilter4 for this) can stay.

Mycroft is on a windup tour, obvious that. But he is no worse than say 50 % of the posters here. At least he is amusing sometimes, unlike the STiShreks and UncleBucks of this world. (Just examples, there are even worse people on here) And yes, I still love you honey

So I don't agree

PS: the "community" word is dead as a duck. Stop using it please.

I say shame.

The guy was (is?) a sad, arrogant wind up merchant with a Walter Mitty internet life who probably hasn't had a jump in years.

But he was bloody good at being one. And probably not as sad as those who got sucked in by the guy, hook line and sinker. All of whom insisted on feeding him with easy ammo like chucking buns to a bear.

On the other hand, didn't see the "close to the bone" stuff so can't really comment. Obviously someone has been upset..

Ho hum, back to reading "Who's got a blue Scooby?" threads while having my butties.

Thanks for the reply Theo - OK I'll stop calling it a community, how about an ensemble of once like-minded people?
[debate]
So how does scoobynet stop this kind of user? Can it? If not what happens? Everyone who wants to be racist/xenophobic/post insults non stop etc etc gets away with it and drives people who want to use SNET as a resource away?
[/debate]

ps glad you love me still

Most of us like him on the MLR, I just think so many of you got him all wrong.

Bite, bite, bite, bite, bite - he was always winning, you just haven't realised it - even now !!!!!!

and im also curious as to why a post was put up telling the members that he was banned, but not telling them why??

why bother to tell the members anything about it?
why not just ban him and let it slip away?
after all it seams like most people didnt like thim, maybe they give a little cheer when they know hes gone "officialy"

ive read sum stuff by him that didnt even seam abusive in anyway, and had people replying that he was allsorts, ban him becuase hes to inteligent to wind people up without resorting to daft verbal attacks like calling sumbody "MyCnut" or simmiler


its like hes been paraded on tv like sum kind of gagged, war criminal.

I bet he's sitting at home making a device from an old radio and £2.50's worth of Maplin conponents which he'll use to come back If it's like any of his other 'nventions', it should be a long time away!!

Although you are probably all to ashamed to admit it, deep down I think judging by the comments so far he will be missed.
Not for his intellect but for his sheer wind up capability.

I guess I should do a search....

Wait, so someone starts 2 threads inviting him to race and insulting him, he responds and he's banned for it? The only thread he started was a decent discussion until the self-proclaimed anti-Mycroft alliance turned up and started to talk crap.

I'm open minde as to whether he's full of sh*t or blantantly taking the p*ss and watching people squirm (either way he obviously love the attention) but I still feel he's done nothing worthy of a banning.

Either we're a community open to all (except those who are racist/sexist/etc) or we're a dictatorship where the Webmaster/Mods can ban people they personally dislike.

Unless of course other things have gone on between Webamster and Mycroft, then it seems to be a banning based on personality clash.

Blimey I'm glad our forum (Mitsubishi Lancer Register) isn't like this place !! We have cool people like DaveG, gaz and andy etc... to moderate our board and they are VERY good.

I come here now and again to read what's going on (ex Scooby owner)but it's like a bloomin' Police State - don't it miff some of you off ??

Diagree strongly.... you are reading too much into this

He was banned cos he had a personality clash with EVERYONE

PS He'll be sitting reading all this and loving all the attention...

Forget him...he was just plain sad, weird and offensive
