A Long Time Coming - The Return

It's been quite a long time since I've posted here, mostly because I'd gotten sucked into DakkaDakka.

After receiving a monthlong (yes you read that correctly) suspension for referring to someone as "pumpkin," I'll be forever returning to BoLS, where I should never have left in the first place. To those of you that don't know me, that means with me I'll bring a fair amount of original content, including some editorials, but more importantly a fair number of product reviews. In the pipe presently:

A Review of the Scars Horus Heresy Novel
A Review of the Wild West Exodus Rulebook and Outlaws faction
Various Tutorials, both image and video based.

Well, it's good to be back, and like I said, I should never have left. Cheers!

Dooley

Welcome back BOLS chum :)

Obviously you were too fruity for them.

Welcome back :D

A pumpkin got you a ban?
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
But why'd you abandon us for dakka anyway?
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Welcome back you great Turnip.

Welcome back Wit. :)

Welcome back from Dakka!!

The decontamination room is just to your left....

Witt

Welcome back old horse. Can you send a linky to the Pumpkin saga - I'd like to see a thread where the straw that broke the camel's back was to call someone 'pumpkin'.

Unless it was along the lines of 'I'm going to do some voodoo sh*t to you and make your arse prolapse like a pumpkin, you orange headed pumpkin gnosher.'

Or some such.

And who did you call a pumpkin?

I reckon it was HBMC and his massive, if decidedly delicate ego.

Seconded

Here's the link to the whole thread. The "offending" comment is on page 45:

I also invite you all to recognize BrookM's completely ignorant comments regarding Macragges Honour and his utter lack of understanding how BL actually produces these limited runs (which, if you don't know, is not limited by a number but by a time frame).

Guess he has never read Guardians of the Galaxy (so good, it's now a film), or indeed Insurrection, a truly excellent addition to the Dredd canon.

Or Darkblade....

Looks like a moron...

Clearly they hate fun.

At the end of the day we are all interested in the same hobby, getting involved in name calling and insults over toy soldiers is all a bit petty in my opinion. If someone or something on here annoys me I have learnt to refrain from getting involved for the most part now and just turn the computer off and get on with hobby stuff instead.

Sounds like when I got a stern warning from T-Tauri over at WarSeer. He yanked several of my posts and threatened to ban me because I agreed with someone. Later I found out, he's just as big a douche with his ebay store.

I abandoned that place like it was a leper colony. My life is too full and time too valuable to waste it on people like that.

OMG Necron How dare you agree with someone? :D

This is spades, I do wonder sometimes how much "hobby" some posters actually achieve or do they just like talking about it ? ;)

Welcome back Dooley, your posts have always been good reading.

I'll have you know last year I paint 10 marines.

I also stripped 40 so I think that makes me at -30 for the year...

That's a good point...

This is me you're talking about here, right? Usually, I spend my hobby time working on projects for other people, and what time I have for my own inevitably ends up spent stripping stuff, before something else gets in the way of me working on them.

I must be on minus many for last year, good job I've got Sigmar's Blood (and hopefully plenty of BOLS scrutiny) to keep me focussed, and no new shiny upcoming releases to help me get distracted!

Well, the internet did explode into a conflagration of nerd rage the last time a Necron didn't just kill all humans.

Welcome back Witt. Your betrayal and abandonment of us is forgiven. Your experiences on other forums has been punishment enough. :p

Well, in my case "The Dude" had just posted a multi-paragraph rant on how blazingly stupid some people at his FLGS were, and he spared no effort in making abundantly clear how passionately he felt about it.

To which, I posted this:

http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/20..._0-d71nhzn.jpg

Kenneth (aka T-Tauri) immediately pulled it and sent me a nasty-gram about it. In response, I made the quote a part of my sig so that it would be a part of every single post I made! It was my very public @#$!-YOU, in the hopes he would delete my account, but he didn't take the bate, so now, unfortunately, I still have a digital fingerprint amongst those slavering, slack-jawed gaggle of inbred rejects.

But of course, I have not strong opinions on the matter. ;)

'Course, I am overlooking one possibility. Maybe ol' Kenny just hates smarty-pants Jews.

Right.

Clearly you are not to be trusted outside these hallowed and relatively sane boards.

We're going to have to nail your e-feet to the e-floor, stop you wandering off again.

It's for your own good. Brace yourself, think of your country of origin (or if you don't like your country of origin, anywhere pleasing will do), and do not try to cry like a big wuss. It'll be over in a jiffy :)

You say that Mystery, the 'Nid boards...

Honestly, the mod that issued the suspension has been pretty vocal about not liking me. We've vigorously disagreed on a lot of things before, and in this instance I think he was unable to remain impartial. C'est la vie.

They have no appeals process, nor, apparently, does the input of other moderators matter with the heavy handedness of my suspension (I've had two mods agree with me that it was). I suggested to the site owners that, if anything, hopefully this situation will encourage them to rethink how they lay down suspensions of that length. Giving that power to any moderator at a whim isn't terribly democratic... But then I guess they dont have to be.

It's all good. Plenty of asshats I no longer have to deal with, and they won't get any of my content. I've got my WWX breakdown almost complete, and I'll probably have it ready (with multiple pictures) tomorrow after I get home from our wrestling tournament.

Good to have you back Witt.

BOLS is definently the best place to post. As long as you stay out the 40K rules discussion

And the 40K rumour threads. But please come and join the Warhammer ones!

Well it is the second most common thing in the galaxy, between hydrogen and TIE fighter spares...
