I started making the post well before you posted :p
It was for the dudes a page or two back
that chimp post was a true classic

That escalated quickly, lol.
Seems like he just liked being a personality more than he wanted people to actually listen to him. Orrrrrr he didn't see what the problem was, which would be kind of shocking considering how many warnings he got.

The only one that compares is a great brood one that I had saved on my old name but I can't find it

I now know why people are glad to see him good. There was some comedy in his posts, but god what an asshole. His sole purpose on the forums was to mock people and make them feel like shit. I love a good argument, but I don't want to hit me in real life if they meet me.

it's ironic i'm the only one who didn't like that one yet found all his other posts to be benign (such as the ones listed on last page)

he was pretty young and a stoner at times, so it's understandable

Welcome to the world of "theory"
But despite being a semi-obscurantist at times, his content was much better and worthwhile than most of the people in the politics megathread

this bad psychoanalysis will surely only fuel sam's sense of alienation from the lumpenproletariat that you all wallow in with the rest of us consumerist wreckers
but seriously if you believe this crap about sam posturing... sam is a true believer sam is an old testament prophet trapped in a world where the idolaters have won you guys are way off on what you're saying
|
Goddamn it, Sam. There goes one of the more interesting posters on the site.
Still, I understand why it was done. He had become unnecessarily and unusually dickish recently.
And yes, his chimp post is still my favorite one. I thought that it was so artistic at the time that he should have been granted a reprieve from a ban for that post. But I guess rules are rules.

I just want to put forth that I believe 100 percent in private property and that I think one of the main problems with our society today is that there is very little private property. a joint stock corporation is not private property, it is a form of absentee landlordism, which is the antithesis of private property. late capitalism is NOT a system based on private property, there is basically no private property in the capitalist system today. equities are not private property. your mortgaged house is not private property. securities are not private property. anyone who doesn't understand this is an idiot and needs to go read their adam smith I don't think our agricultural production is fucked. I think it's amazing! We have more choice that at any time in history, and at lower prices than ever. There are just a lot of silly privileged people who have problems with it for various touchy-feely reasons which I personally don't care about. Also, your talk about how there is very little private property these days is transparent nonsense. it's not touchy feely reasons, it's deeply unsustainable and is operating on borrowed time. i am not a touchy feely person, remember, I am a stalinist as far as your last line, let me repeat: you are an idiot and need to go read your adam smith
These are merely the action'd posts that I could find in mod reports. He had a lot of other posts that were action'd before even being reported. It was his way to mingle insults and a foul superiority complex in all his posts. Intelligence does not excuse belligerence. wow, that's quite the mod history. I can never understand people who feel the need to insult over anything. Being right or wrong doesn't exclude you from a ban if you disrespect another forum member. I'm surprised he wasn't permed much sooner tbh.
He got a 90 day a while back, requested a perm, and then later decided to come back to TL. I think this was his final form.

none of this stuff is real. if you are going to make it matter in the modern world, if you ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR FAITH, you are going to need to make it matter EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT REAL. otherwise it is useless and you are nothing but a delusional fanatic of a dying cult

According to my research, sam sincerely believed that he was a good posters because a bunch of people were glad to have him back, despite his history of foul mannered posting. lol

rather than wasting time with inane cliches about human nature, why don't you put some effort into thinking about our problems and how we might go about solving them Financial crisis is prevalent in every social form so far tried and likely in every probable social theory so far proposed. haha ok mr anthropologist how about before they invented financial instruments? lots of financial crises in those societies I bet Trade has always happened... and even if there were no trade in those societies, you think we can go back to that? That's a laughable suggestion. it's not a suggestion. I'm just saying that when you say "there have always been financial crises in every society" you are being stupid in a very obvious way

edit: also, while I'm thinking about it, I want to address something from a couple of weeks ago. after some idiot banned me, most of the responses to me were based on mocking me for beliefs I do not hold (the main way that people respond to me here). I just want to put forth that I believe 100 percent in private property and that I think one of the main problems with our society today is that there is very little private property. a joint stock corporation is not private property, it is a form of absentee landlordism, which is the antithesis of private property. late capitalism is NOT a system based on private property, there is basically no private property in the capitalist system today. equities are not private property. your mortgaged house is not private property. securities are not private property. anyone who doesn't understand this is an idiot and needs to go read their adam smith I don't think our agricultural production is fucked. I think it's amazing! We have more choice that at any time in history, and at lower prices than ever. There are just a lot of silly privileged people who have problems with it for various touchy-feely reasons which I personally don't care about. Also, your talk about how there is very little private property these days is transparent nonsense. it's not touchy feely reasons, it's deeply unsustainable and is operating on borrowed time. i am not a touchy feely person, remember, I am a stalinist as far as your last line, let me repeat: you are an idiot and need to go read your adam smith
These are merely the action'd posts that I could find in mod reports. He had a lot of other posts that were action'd before even being reported. It was his way to mingle insults and a foul superiority complex in all his posts. Intelligence does not excuse belligerence. wow, that's quite the mod history. I can never understand people who feel the need to insult over anything. Being right or wrong doesn't exclude you from a ban if you disrespect another forum member. I'm surprised he wasn't permed much sooner tbh. He got a 90 day a while back, requested a perm, and then later decided to come back to TL. I think this was his final form. it's not even that though. If you want to post and make it sound complicated or intelligent, by all means go ahead and present your point in any way you like but there is never a need to insult someone over something. Aside from that, some of his posts like in the TL strat section are poorly done. Not sure what he was expecting considering you can't just write bad posts in the strat section and get away with it. I dunno, just seems odd that he does this especially after he decided to come back from his perm request that you mentioned. My thoughts at least
I was trying to answer your question of "why hasn't he been permed yet" since the answer was that he sort of already was. He came back after a period of time (as veterans do occasionally) and eventually got permed for real.

2nd Worst City in CA8938 Posts
When I first saw sam post (during the beginnings of the Election thread), his posts were really thought provoking and in line with TL's standards. However, it seems the more he had to deal with the same modes of thought that many TLers share, the more impatient and frustrated he got, especially so since he had to repeat himself numerous times. I understand completely, since I was in the same boat as him, but sam chose to continue posting while I chose to stop retreading the same ol' arguments and just ignored people, since I knew it would do no one any good (especially myself) even if I were to continue pushing my opinions. Though in sam's case, his posts did do some readers some good I'm sure (I know I learned a lot from him).
But yeah, since sam couldn't stop debating with those who constantly frustrated him out of his own volition, I guess this was the reasonable action. Maybe not dealing with those people will calm him a bit. I know it's done a world of wonders for me.

Well, he's tried to psychoanalyze me before, so I think I shall reserve the right to do the same to him.

Sam is most definitely not posturing, he's just sharp.
Given that you actually know him, I'll defer to you. (I do remember him saying once that he thinks being a personality is important in academia, which is what led me to think it may be the case. And, well, usually when people keep touching a stove like that even after being burned 20 some times, something is certainly off.)
I mean, all of it unfortunately leaves me with the impression that he either lacks self-restraint, can't detect tone very well, or is stupid. None of these paints a particularly good image of him. I just find it fascinating (in a train wreck sort of way) that he can get so many warnings and not correct his behavior if he truly wanted to stick around TL in the first place.
