Keeps making GBS threads up threads in TVIV by constantly insisting on reading the shows in a weirdly specific way.

I like to place shows within their historical contexts and interpret them from that perspective. The general gooncensis is that texts are sealed unto themselves so anything from the outside is bad. That's a fine way to interpret a show but not the one I prefer.

I don't get in the way of anyone interpreting the show they want to. People pile on me because they disagree with my interpretation (which is fine) or because they don't think my method of interpretation exists (which is much stranger, so I have to go back to basics and cite people sharing my method so we can proceed). My interpretation's right to exist is threatened so, yeah, I'll discuss it. I don't view "having an opinion and a point of view" as "making GBS threads up a thread" though you've made clear you do.

The fact that I largely disagree with the mods shouldn't be in dispute, otherwise I wouldn't post. I'm specifically banned from QCS because I made fun of mods for being negative moral exemplars (for example, pedophiles) so what kind of environment can you expect from that?

The user who said "Mods are basically an HoA" grokked my meaning. A longterm grifter and/or pedo on the HoA board is not a huge surprise. That is distinct from the overall operation of the HoA.

I don't know if he got thread banned but he was incredibly loving tedious and boring in that thread so my eyes nearly rolled out my head when I saw he was the op of that QCS thread.

What ever happened to posters like Tiger Mojo and Tony Danzas Ho? I started reading the site right around 9/11 but when I actually started reading and posting regularly, I feel like they were in EVERY THREAD

I'm gonna just...ignore the last page.... I don't go to QCS for a reason.

Yeah, I used to see Tiger Mojo and Tony Danzas Ho everywhere. I think they were just average people who grew up, got busy with college, jobs, and partners, and probably just left the forums. I heard some time ago (though don't quote me) that they're just Doing Fine, and I like to just presume that's what happened. I think yeah, it ended up being some Canadian laptop scammer and the thread was long but ended up being one of those GBS self-rabble-rousing threads that ultimately went nowhere.

ok but unironically that could be a good thing. there's at least one person I know of who has a bad habit of just making GBS threads out a single Twitter link and not making any attempt to discuss or engage with it beyond "lol"
