Sorry to bring this up from pages ago, but I wouldn't say Rugz's behaviour is bannable or even probatable, they're just not very good at arguing and their opinions run contrary to seemingly everyone else's. They are the kind of poster who ends up either gets talked round, or getting bored and posting elsewhere about how mean this thread is. Easy to ignore or easy to argue against, as per your preference; and from the view of an external observer it looks like they are at least being challenged if they post bad takes.

I guess I somewhat agree, although like with DreddyMatt I feel that their horrible opinions on certain subjects shouldn't be forgiven.

Yeah this is my issue with the "block and move on" argument because if people are just posting heinous bigoted poo poo unpunished because the regulars have it on block then it's just letting people see horrific poo poo not getting challenged and assuming we endorse it.

Crystal Thenis however is knowingly being an antagonistic, bigoted oval office and is deliberately threadshitting. Nothing he has posted has even attempted to add to the discussion, and his presence in the thread just makes it look unmoderated.

I get it, most easily trolled thread on the forums etc, but that doesn't mean we should do nothing when someone is clearly and unambiguously threadshitting.

It seems from occasional inferences in the chat thread's discord that he is likely a permabanned user who has reregged, but I don't have any proof of that beyond general vibes.

Yeah I agree with all this, I don’t think Rugz was trolling, and a bit of hyperbole when quoting back what others are saying isn’t exactly Debate Club suitable but it is something people do more often than not I’d say, outside of these hallowed halls of good natured discussion.

I dunno, I've finally caught up with the thread after being pages and pages behind for about 2 years, and Rugz seems quite poo poo and none of their posts were worth reading. I basically agree with the below:

Tesla was right posted:

I disagree about Rugz' behaviour being good-faith disagreement. Throughout these multi-day details they've come in with a contrarian opinion, misrepresented other people's arguments and seamlessly switched topics just to keep the argument going. It's pissflappian trolling, plain and simple.

It seemed to me to just be low effort bad faith posting with no attempt to be funny or clever or make coherent argument or engage anyone or anything really. It came across as just pointless and boring and annoying and made them seem like a bit of a twat

Mordaunt ended with a rallying cry for the Conservative Party to “stand up and fight!” In fairness, it does appear to be doing that. Unfortunately, the party is now entering the “drunken tramp” phase of its existence, where it appears to be swinging randomly at either imagined antagonists or, more often, itself while shouting bizarre phrases into the ether. While the temptation is to stop and stare, some people in the park are beginning to avert their gaze in a sort of infectious embarrassment.

You'd think he'd know how to set out an altar without making it a cluttered rear end mess.

Remove 3/4 of that and add a Jesus Funko Pop and it'd still be closer to canon.

He's a deacon in the Free Church, I think you just have to turn up often enough and keep your hot takes to your own time for that.

Which explains why he has an altar primarily devoted to clock.

He's not a regular CofE vicar. He used to be an atheist gamer who then went on to become a teacher. He tried to become the Conservative face of young teaching, but it didn't quite work out. He was probably a poo poo teacher. So he did his seminary to become a vicar, and when he graduated, I'm pretty certain he made ridiculous demands like an immediate parish of his own, as well as a promotion. When that was refused, he made a massive stink about being cancelled for his views, and joined the break away Anglican church who immediately promoted him to Deacon, and then he suddenly had his GBNews job.

Everything about him is fake.

He's absolutely 100% fake. Gove, and I guess Murdoch, wanted to make him a Conservative posterchild. When the teaching mouthpiece thing failed, he was very quickly whisked away and remodelled into this fake deacon oval office that we see now. His website has archives all the way back to 2002

He started off as a normal college kid:

quote:

As you can see this website is highly under construction, as im very busy with work and college.

The above photo of me is about 1-2 years old btw!

My Alias: I have always been known as Jah_n_God, since my early IRC days, then i switched from UnderNet to DALnet and so chose a new alias... BaDDaSS.

I played on Habbo Hotel for a while, made a cheats website (which got HUGE) then I left the crap game to do some serious gaming: Unreat Tournament! And now UT2003 :-D

You will now usually see me in the DLPgaming (click the banner below) and Multiplay forums.

My new PC rocks!!! Thanx to Catachan Chris from Multiplay LANs.
You'll see it at the next DLPgaming LAN! :

Then his website from 2009 shows he's still fairly normal

I've only skimmed a tiny percentage of the info from his archive.org snapshots, but I always find new things - like just now I found he he used to have the CR handle on twitter, which is now branded as 'Conservative Review' today.

I swear there are some massive bombshells hidden in those archive.org snapshots if any of you are feeling bored. But yeah, he's a complete fake.
