Btw, don't take the above too seriously. But I think this thread had always had a light hearted tangential discoursions, and I see no reason why people have to be so damn threatening when the spread of humour is wavers from the banned to the unbanned. | ||

You'll think people with all the power to stop discourse, and indeed did so on their terms to have the last word, would be more self confident in their sphere of influence. If only I had the power to request people will stop making dumb comments at me backed up by the most powerful circle of friends on TL. Alas. Btw, don't take the above too seriously.

He didnt actually call the moderators incompetent, but was making a funny self-deprecating joke. | ||

Someone else reports it. Mod checks your mod notes/history. Mod goes "Why the fuck is this person not banned. Mod slaps person with ban. If your history is shit enough the actual content of the post that gets you banned doesn't matter. The real question is why were the other mods who previously auctioned him and apparently remarked that he should be banned to chicken shit to do it themselves. | ||

It's more being passive aggressive than a joke. | ||

You have to be conspicuous enough to piss people off but never so conspicuous as to attract moderator attention. Even champions of the art occasionally mess it up, much less angry dudes like Diabolique. To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Diabolique's posts. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Diabolique's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Diabolique truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Diabolique’s existential catchphrase “the mods are incompetent” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Diabolique’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. User was warned for this post | ||
