On July 05 2013 15:36 Ponera wrote: I hope this doesn't come off as a troll or like retarded, but I am a super interesting person. I know every asshole with a menial job thinks they are interesting and I should hope they do; I, however, have been fortunate to do a lot of cool things with my education, hobbies and professional life. I love to teach people things, it is a shame to sit on all this amazing information (I've been told many times I'm rather encyclopedic.) My personal life, the friends I've had and the pranks I've done are incredible. Did you know that when I was living with this one girl she got a new girl kitten, so I suggested the name Xiola...claiming it was a genus of flower. Since she thought I was too smart for my own good, she believed me. When she cheated on me and moved out, I informed her the names origin is Xiola Blue, a trashy porn "actress." Just imagine her reaction. This was the beginning of his OP to a thread entitled Ask Ponera Stuff. It's admittedly the worst part, but his thread seems to have disappeared with his ban. The OP went on to list his education and "achievements" which consisted mostly of the fact he is a Paleontologist and has done some work in archeology and related fields. More on Ponera + Show Spoiler + The actual thread was fine, and for a time Ponera seemingly had a lot of fans and adherents. The rest of us kept quiet until people had finally had enough of him. As soon as one or two people had been honest with Ponera he had a complete melt-down and started abusing people left right and centre, particularly opterown and claiming that the TL+ IRC channel had it in for him. In his paranoid mind people were ganging up on him in there like some sort of snippy clique and then attacking him in other threads. The guy was notorious for big-noting himself, including remarking that he made $100/hr, talking misogynistically about his female conquests and at one stage using the poor choice of words "I thought I was paying for friends here" while trying to express the fact that he felt attacked and that TL+ was meant to be a place that had a smaller community feel to it. He had a recurring tendency to claim that other people were jealous when they criticised his behaviour. Interestingly he also created a TL+ Self-Esteem thread. It was no surprise that he had rather massive self-esteem and insecurity issues. Eventually his AMA thread became a list of regulars asking him questions consisting of memes from his past comments.

Would have made a lot of people really happy. I'm happy it wasn't a perm, although I fear that Ponera will react super badly when he comes back and will accrue larger and larger bans spiraling quickly to a perm. Personally I want to see him around more and getting shat on more. I had to put up with a month of his arrogance and shit-posting while biting my tongue. I want to see him suffer for at least as long. On August 08 2013 10:30 docvoc wrote: He basically made several TL+ threads that set the TL+ forums tone for a little while. The threads fluctuated from the beginning being semi-cool and really weird as they went on. He then got into a flamewar that I missed and got banned by Kwark, and of course he pissed some people off along the way  . Did Kwark ban him? I saw Plexa's current one. Didn't realise he had another. | ||

i can deal with pseudo-narcissistic depressed losers until they start dropping misogynistic comments | ||

Some additional background: he started taking it out on opty because his AMA thread became an opertown/opteron/poperton/etc thread. But their first interaction was Ponera making opty an example of someone who comes in to IRC and everyone says hi. I don't understand it either. It's unfortunate the Ponera AMA thread got locked though. If you were there when it got derailed, it was hilarious. | ||

I like to think that because my original criticism predated his going beserk that I somehow set off a chain reaction. But that's probably a conceit. Guy was always going to go off the rails. I imagine most of his forum experiences and live friendships end this way. | ||

(the opty-related derail though was obviously off topic) Yeah in an AMA people tend to ask lots of silly comments. And although it felt like people were ganging up on him, he brought a lot of it on himself. Not to mention that heaps of people have to put up with getting roasted, kollin being a prime example. The difference is that the kid handles himself with so much more class that the thread quickly becomes serious and affectionate. If Ponera had been able to laugh at himself he would have diffused a lot of the criticism/jokes. | ||

Broly was just temp banned for 2 days by Myles. That account was created on 2011-08-09 15:49:16 and had 25 posts. Reason: There's criticism and then's there's bashing. There's way too much bashing here. The guy when on a whole paragraph of caster bashing | ||

He is pretty amazing at appearing at the drop of his name. I am tentatively optimistic about Ponera being nominated, it isn't often I got to bed at wake up to 70 some odd new posts.
