Reason: "Because it is generally composed of nerds with high intelligence but low social skills who get traumatized daily by jocks, cool kids, mean hot girls, asshole relatives and everyone in between.

On top of that, due to the politics of TL the site has a burgeoning gay community which appears to be highly involved when it comes to persecuting people like Destiny or anyone who uses foul language since they identify their trolling and slurs with the abuse they have been taking for their sexual orientation."
very rude generalizing and insensivitiy This guy is funny. Really loled reading that. It does have a ring of truth to it though. Please explain what ring of truth there is to that statement. Well he is basically saying that nerds by dint of being nerds are usually socially inept and as a result become the targets of mockery by more socially savvy individuals which in turn affects the culture among nerds in such a way that they become quite sensitive to the slightest provocation. It actually makes sense. Think about it, if you were socially abused constantly by the people around you, you would tend to become quite a defensive individual almost to the point of crippling your development as a social creature. You'd take massive offense to any quip that carries even the slightest tint of negativity. People who aren't used to social exile can handle being the butt of the joke quite gracefully and even amplify their perceived faults for the sake of humor in their social group. You think that TL has plenty of these people?
I would say a majority are. I've been here and there around the internet and I've never seen a more sensitive bunch than on TL.Net. Their behavior is consistent with what I've observed from nerds in real life. I've seen many a discussion quickly go south because of how easily people here take offense to ideas of others. The sheer tenacity with which you guys persecute each other astonishes me sometimes, especially with charged topics like religion, politics, sexuality etc. One thing that is common among nerds is how viciously they attack any idea that conflicts with their own, usually naive world view. I see that here all the time.
If you want proof, just make a humorous post ragging on gays, feminists, or christians and see how quickly you get banned here. If you ever observed really socially savvy people operate, the most popular ones usually have a dark, stinging sense of humor and are unafraid to make light fun of topics that many would consider quite serious and here we come to the crux of the matter, why are nerds usually socially inept ? While I'm sure that one can write a 10 paragraph essay on this, it really comes down to one thing, they take shit way too seriously. A master of dark, edgy humor usually dominates any social setting. He is the guy that everyone wants around when they decide to hit the town for a night out. He's the guy that says what everyone is thinking but too afraid to say and they love him for it. Nerds because they're so used to being bashed by their non-nerds peers become extremely averse to dark humor because they can empathize more than most with the would-be victims of such humor. They are also fair game to such humor.
A good example of this was can be found in a thread here I saw recently. It was some thread about an SC2 player who is transgendered. I believe it was a fan club thread. So there I am reading through this thread. I see the usual, "sign me up" or "Wow awesome,[insert praises here]" kind of posts. Then boom "ITS A TRAP" right outta nowhere. When I saw it, I laughed, I mean I found it really funny. Does that make a bad person ? Does it make me a hater of transgendered people ? No....it was quite funny and that's all it was. He referenced a line from Star Wars I believe it was, that fit perfectly into the frame of this topic. That's harmless dark humor. It doesn't mean he is out trying to hang transgenders. He is just a funny guy that likes to talk shit. However, this user got a temp ban for this. I didn't find that ban worthy but its like I said, nerds cannot fathom dark humor, too many a time they are the subject of such humor for the amusement of others and it hurts them deeply so they instinctively lash out harshly whenever it is employed within their domain weather its against them or others within their sphere.
User was not really banned for this post but was instead banned for his post history as a whole.

SarR was just banned by motbob.
That account was created on 2011-06-22 14:16:27 and had 476 posts.
Reason: I guess banning you means that I have no sense of humor and that I have a naive world view.
Also, I cannot believe that you used the phrase "dark, edgy humor" unironically.

Out of curiosity and in light of recent developments above, have many bans been issued in the automated ban thread?

The Destiny Doctrine: It's OK to say racist/sexist/whateverist stuff as long as it's funny.

Why... I've read a lot of his posts and while they may seem a bit aggressive or condescending at times, the more I thought about what he was saying the more I began to realize that he is actually correct, at least for the most part. At least when the topic of discussion was something social-related. So then, why...

Agree with the ban 110%. I was going to ask a few more leading questions as well to further entrap him, but I guess it wasn't necessary.
+ Show Spoiler [what i had planned] +Ask whether he himself was one of these sensitive nerds--he'd say no
Then ask why he comes to TL, if he's not a nerd--he'd say it was to amuse himself
Then ask if he finds these nerds amusing--he'd say yes
Then ask if he's basically on TL to laugh at people. check and mate

That ban was so beautifully ironic, trying to direct a spotlight to someone else in the effort to share in it, while talking about being socially savvy and popular...

Pretty successful trolling there, but at least to me it was pretty apparent you were baiting him with the post he quoted.

I am all for a "Dark, edgy humor" section on TL. I would like to laugh at people who think they know what dark and edgy humor is. I'm not claiming that I know what dark and edgy humor, unironically, entails. I just think people who aren't ninjas who envision themselves as dark and edgy are just asking for it.

Alright, I'm declaring the ABL thread officially over.
A guy comes to the ABL thread, then you entice him into incriminating himself here for all to see, and then he gets permed for his antics (admittedly both here and elsewhere).
You sir have won the thread. Kudos.

I'm fairly sure that unironic "dark and edgy humor" is code-language for "being an asshole to people, so that other assholes can laugh." At least, that's what SarR seemed to be leaning in the direction of.

No seriously... SarR's posts in girl blogs especially made a lot of sense if you think about them a little more thoroughly and don't disregard him as someone who's just trying to be condescending towards "nerds".
