Off to a great start. First he calls Wheat "trash" (this kiddie must be new to esports I guess) and then a predictable compilation of "incontrol sucks" type thing. (like tournament results and stuff)
On second thought he must be a PBU. :s

It will always be easier to get offended than to actually put intellectual effort into understanding something. ^^

I don't think what neo said is equivalent to saying somebody is "beating himself up". The way neo says "someone buy [x] a box of razers" is more like supporting self-cutting, wanting the player to self-harm. Neo seems to taking great pleasure in how bad he imagines [x] is/was feeling. To me that is the big difference, although personally I'm against self-harm jokes in general because it is a serious problem for some people and some things we should be sensitive about when making jokes.
(I redacted the name of the player to avoid spoiling the result).

Hm, self-harm is a sore point for some, but I don't really see it as a sacred cow that jokes can't be made about. If Squirtle had come out in an interview and said he self-harmed, that would be different thing altogether and would take on a more vicious form.

I was in communication with MoonBear over PMs, unaware of this discussion here. I found the ban surprising because self-harm posts of that kind were common in conjunction with MKP. My example was:

So it seems that posts on self-harm are not immediately ban-worthy. However, I still think that neo went one stage beyond just mentioning self-harm/suicide by seemingly wanting a player to self-harm. I'm not surprised that that would earn neo a ban.

I assumed the ban wa for player bashing anyway which is pretty unambiguous. I just dont agree with making some forms of joke off-limits. Self harm is a serious problem for some and emotionally scarring, but then again so is being overweight or physically unattractive, and these jibes are oft-tolerated by many.
The mods do a great job here by having clear guidelines on acceptable posting that they largely stick to. By making certain forms of humour unacceptable, tolerating others it will create uncertainty and make their job more difficult in the long run

HAHAHAHA... That video was hilarious. I don't think it was the same guy, though. Cannot imagine the guy in the video making it to several thousand posts without a perm.

North Korea is just a puppet in hands of west who is trying to scare their own people so that they wouldn't think about real problems,such as economy,health,declining social norms etc.
Even if its all true they wouldn't be able to launch one missile with nuclear warhead before 10 tomahawk missiles hit that site.
Bunch of BS.
Do tell, what sort of ground breaking information do you have access to that reveals this North Korean puppet act? How dare you demand evidence?! INSOLENCE!! So where is evidence of nuclear weapons? Some people saying so? Like Iraq weapons of mass destruction? We all know that was true right? You know better then to believe everything you hear on TV.At least have some reservation on what media says. Cmon really? PS. Sure just call me conspiracy theory freak its easiest way to explain someone thinking differently. User was temp banned for this post.
Liman was just temp banned for 2 weeks by KwarK.

A history degree is not a license to make up history.
I really like this sort of thing. Kinda my area of study.  ...N-...not North Korea testing nukes, mind you. I don't like that idea at all, lol. The geophysics is what interests me. X-D
It's true though. We've talked about this in class as an example of utilizing seismic sensors for... "unorthodox" data collection.
Conspire harder, Liman.

Stop posting in a massively condescending and aggressive way. You've been told this far too many times now.
You repeatedly try to derail any sensible discussion in nearly every thread you post in.
Don't copy-paste huge sections of Wikipedia creating creating massive walls of text. Learn to summarise and construct your own arguments, or use spoiler tags.
Reading through your posts and your moderation history, you seem to be incapable of learning or understanding what you are doing wrong. If you keep posting in a poor fashion, I think TL is the wong website for you.
I read that typo in a stereotypical Chinese accent, and then a cute tweety bird accent.

If you join the right channels i'm sure you'll find something. Really 5 times a day? So since SC2 has come out you've been asked around 1825 times approximately to join different clans? Shiiiii y u so impressive. its been out for 25 days, so it would be 125, go kill yourself seriously... User was temp banned for this post.
What an upstanding citizen. I'm surprised he was banned.

Now that's some red text I can get behind

I like me a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, really I spent a fair bit of time sifting through 9/11 debunking mess because I love seeing the science and mostly "science," behind that shit but with NK? That basically rides the short bus to conspiracy school.
Come on give me something about the latest DNA samples from big foot or the reptilian take over of the government. In the mean time I am going to go install my replace my water filters and try and find the chip Obama had put in me at my last doctors visit. /joke

Don't get knowledge, get angry? I rather prefer that to get even.
