See posts #46 + #47

I'm none the fucking wiser when he types a sentence of his own words.

Does "em" refer to the posts in that thread or all of his posting history?

Who is B.T.?

Is this thread discussing deleting all his posts as an option?

Flouncedar activated!

I wonder what would happen if LG couldn't post no more than 1 video Per day. Maybe we would fInally read his personal opinions.

BT must be Batou. I think he was referring to that thread.... but just delete 'em all yep.

I'd rather hoped this thread would lead to LG engaging us...although I can see it may be perceived as a lynch mob LG is more than aware that this kind of thread has been brewing. Unless he wasn't reading his own War, what is it good for threads.

Personally I'd be a bit sad to lose LG's posts, as I've said I like different, I just wish LG would reign it in a lot and then the posts may actually get some attention, from what I gather every fucker just glazes over LG's posts, which is a shame because underneath it all there is an informed mind of sorts that could be put to better use, for LG and/or the community here.

Ho-hum.

oioioi wrote: Em (typography)
An em is a unit of width in the field of typography, equal to the currently specified point size. For example, one em in a 16-point typeface is 16 points wide. Therefore, this unit is the same for all typefaces at a given point size.[1]
Typographic measurements using this unit are frequently expressed in decimal notation (e.g., 0.7 em) or as fractions of 100 or 1000 (e.g. 70/100 em or 700/1000 em).
Originally, the unit equaled the width of the capital "M" in the typeface and size being used, which gave the unit its name.[2] Under this definition, the length of an em varied with both the typeface and point size.

As I typed the question my 'ology' sprang to mind.

One mans peer managed community is another mans lynch mob.
People will play it whatever way suits them.

I don't want LG banned and I'm sure his posts hold their own fascination if people are into decoding them.
I've no objection to him doodling away in his own space if he so desires but there's a basic expectation of not daily pissing over everyone else's discussions and then acting all butthurt when they weary of that self-indulgence.

I also don't believe that a mod/facilitator/wannabe fascist/webmaster generals should be expected to sacrifice their leisure time running around wiping his arse.

"Try to keep it relevant" is NOT a huge, overbearing request now is it?

I agree but he won't pay any attention or alter this weird predisposition he has & it's obviously pissing some of us off.
If it was RA or Mike or Ent doing this they would've been gone/warned a lot sooner so why is he being treated with kid gloves?

I think we were very tolerant with RA and Mike and they were more blatantly trolling than LG does to my mind, ent isn't banned and is a different kettle of fish completely to Mike and RA!

Speaking only for myself, I think the difference is that he's not set out to be abusive, unlike the 3 Stooges you've mentioned. And while acknowledging that I might have missed something, I've never seen him respond
particularly abusively despite seeing a few people be pretty aggressive towards him.

He does it via PM. Probably the only time he actually writes his own thoughts on the forum.

They do afaik.
As has been mentioned though, apart from being entirely irrelevant shite (against community guidelines) that tends to kill threads, it makes the pages take longer to load because they're always vid heavy.

That was kinda my point, very different creatures that don't need to be compared.

Call me green but I think if LG was 'focused' LG's posts could be/were initially a welcome addition.

I also am aware that LG has antagonised some people on a personal level, and been antagonised by them, but have seen little of this on SZ so......

If the community guidelines aren't applicable to everybody then they're being personalised and used against certain members while another gets away with it which was the point of the thread.
I'm not personally arsed about abuse I can give as good as I get.

Gilly wrote:
I agree he is not intentionally abusive, he's not like others who want to mock members in the Forum.
I get the impression he is not consciously derailing, he just posts what's on his mind, with videos, Wikipedia, written in all different
Colors. No troll would go to so much work. Nevertheless, it spams threads.

He would be great if he wrote an Encyclopedia, with a all that interesting stuff. He would have to do it alphabetically though.
Maybe we could start our own Encyclopedia with LG on the SZ Forum.

Or maybe we could suggest a 'randomise' function for Wikipedia & just go on there & read a load of random stuff without it cluttering up threads!
