Why does he deserve it?


Because he is by now fully aware of how this board operates and also the core taste of the majority of its members.


So, if anyone posts outside beatlestones ukpunk they are open for ridicule?
It's kinda depressing for a music forum to be proud of not knowing musicians.

This board is about communication and if you're not good at reading how your posts are going down, indeed are almost willfully impervious to it, then there's going to be problems.


But why should one poster have to give any thought to how a handful of other posters might receive those posts? No one here posts threads that are universally received with open arms but they are still able to post without being harassed.

Most of us don't give a fuck what what Googa or anyone else posts about on the music sections of this board. It's a handful of BCB wanna be police or wannabe comedians or wannabe celebrities, or whatever they are, that care. And the rest of us are reminded of it every time he posts. I know which action makes the board less tolerable for me and I don't think I'm alone.

Why do a half dozen or so members get to decide what one other member deserves to be able to post in the music sections of this space?


You're missing the point.
The point isn't whether some posters get to decide what he should or shouldn't post, I'm not suggesting anything should be policed in that way. My point was that Googa's problems stemmed in the main from not being capable of considering whether what he was posting was interesting or relevant or whatever.
I mean let me ask you this if you are at a dinner party, do you just feel you should say what the hell you like and talk for as long as you want and if it bores others then who gives a fuck? Or do you try to engage with others, get on their wavelength, think of funny or interesting things to say, ask questions of others..you know all that social stuff.
I think a lot of Googa's problems with that were due to his condition, which is a shame.

Where are the rules about how this board operates codified? I'm pretty certain that if there were any rules written down that not constantly harassing another poster would be among them. What rules do you follow?

You're being silly. And making a big deal about something that is fully to be expected on a community like ours when someone like GM does what he does.

The 'forgiving' folk put that lack of awareness down to his Aspergers (something that we're always reluctant to address directly). But he's aware of what he does, and I would find it hard to accept that he's unaware of the reaction he'll get to 'I've torn a CD cover'.


I don't know to be honest. I'd have to have met him personally I think to know that. I think he's more knowing than just being this 'idiot savant' certainly, but at the same time his Aspergers does seem to be a major factor in the way he posted. I think he lacks that filter that most of us have, it's like with him communication is a one-way model. He just spews it out there. But a lot of the time I found his posting quite funny rather than annoying.

I'd say that there are unwritten, fairly fluid "rules" about how this board operates, a general atmosphere that prevails, a way that it's broadly recognised that you might want to interact.

Should you be hounded off the board for not fitting in, for not toeing the line, either by design or inadvertently? No.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

My fiancé will assure that missing the point is my specialty. Forgive me if I did.

To answer your question; if I were at a dinner party and someone was monopolizing the conversation and talking about whatever they wanted, etc. I would likely avoid them. I wouldn't call them names and ridicule them and harass them. That would make me just as bad as they are. Or worse if what they were doing was due to some condition or other. I would not invite them back if it were my dinner party. If it were someone else's party I would either continue to avoid them or decline an invitation to join the next party if that person were attending. I wouldn't go into someone else's party and tell another guest that they should consider finding a party that better suited them.

Possibly, but I do think that there's a difference between Coan's exasperation and the other poster's "stupid lying cunt".

I wouldn't disagree with any of that TG.
I think the best solution for Googa would have been to put John on ignore, but he always resisted that leading me to think he quite enjoyed the squabbles and attention.

I don't think it's silly to expect to be able to post here without being harassed by someone who doesn't share your tastes. And I don't think it's silly that I should be able to read through this forum and not be subjected to a half dozen or so members attacking another member nearly every time he posts. I actually like this thread, or the initial idea behind it, and it's become unreadable due to the actions of a few and the reactions of a few others (myself included). As I mentioned; we all know how you feel about him. Why can't you just let it go?

I'm really not trying to be a dick about this but I'm curious why GM, who is posting about music he likes, needs to put the guy who is harassing him on ignore? What about the guy who is doing the harassing? Why does he get a free pass for his behavior? Why isn't the constant harassing of another poster frowned upon?

If you read the opening paragraph concerning aspergers on wiki then you would understand that the very analogy used by yourself as a considered reply , show that your understanding of the condition is (sadly) completely wide of the mark.
