I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.

That's alright, he's posting with the idiots in /pol/ now.

Schadenfreude is on anyone who saw the first episode of Rick and Morty season 3 was streaming on Adult Swim today and thought it was an April Fool's joke.

On the one hand writing, voicing & animating an entire 25 minute fake episode is totally something they'd do as an elaborate prank

On the other hand, releasing the first episode months early on April 1 when they knew a bunch of people would miss it is also something they would do. And we won't know for sure either way until the new season genuinely airs!


Edit: don't forget that Rick and Morty was created when Justin Roiland went to all the trouble of creating and broadcasting a hosed up 'Back To The Future' ripoff animation simply because he thought it would be cool to get a Cease & Desist demand from the BttF people.

Seeing a snake full of porcupine quills made me sad and that's why I posted that. I guess I was supposed to just say nothing but the first sentence so that goons wouldn't keep bringing it up for three pages. My bad, carry on.

Naw, I just think if FAROOQ's gonna be banned for taking the piss out of someone else's post goons should have a little more self-awareness about it, y'know? I mean threads freak out for multiple loving pages whenever the guy appears, complaining about how he should just be ignored. :ironicat:

Farooq posts are hilarious, not because of anything he writes, but because it gives me a chance to watch idiots get butthurt about obvious baitposts.

Also maybe you need to look at the guy before him demanding an animal in an identical situation be killed. Are you really missing that even with both side by side, twice.

You are being wilfully dense if you think FAROOQ wasn't taking the piss out of Wheel, here.

Goons in PYF are really blind to this stuff unless posters they keep bleating about being ignored are around. Like the rape joke idiot in IOSM, or Venda Goat getting away with sincere posting about wanting to gently caress cosplayers. Pointing out goons are being morons isn't the same as saying FAROOQ is blameless.

Yeah but FAROOQ posts are like Ebola. There's an outbreak of replies, but his poo poo never incubates long enough to get his hosts to tear other goons apart.

Good trolls never fail to get a response, great trolls get a thread to shut itself down.

I've got a bone to pick.

FAROOQ has been a terrible poster for a long long time, and BIRD and I have given them many chances to better themselves. They don't seem to be interested in posting better, so here we are. This wasn't just about the dog post, that was just a rather weighty straw that broke the camel's back.

Now FAROOQ was a terrible poster but the shooting the dog thing was pretty reasonable I thought. I mean the guy said he went and killed a porcupine because he was unable to control his dog. Someone thay loving stupid shouldn't have a dog at the very least.

Yes, but he said "shoot the dog" instead of "that idiot shouldn't have a dog", so what do I know.

The viewpoint of other posters seems to be that other posters would have been banned a long, long time ago for poo poo that FAROOQ has pulled and it seems weird that he's basically gotten away with it for so long.

FAROOQ keeps most of their posts in that ambiguous gray area where the posts by themselves are not overtly terrible, but there's an obvious trend of bad posting. With that sort of person people will raise objections to moderation choices either way.

It's because Literally a Bird has said, several times, that they like Farooq and their posts.
