With the recent events with MLAM losing it in front of us, do you think it is a good idea for the mods to implement mercy bannings for those who are in an unstable mental state. TERB is very very addicting and some people lose grip with all reality.

At first I thought it would be fun watching him self destruct, but it ended up disturbing. When a members posts become more and more incoherent and anger based, should the mods step in for the sake of the poster or are they not psychologists and let it be?
 
There should be warnings...some are very much "in" to posting here.

I got a warning the other day, I had no idea you could not talk about other smoke than tobacco.

Which thread did this take place in?

There was some in the ego dick thread, and a lot of his posts lately are anger based and even more derogatory than normal, if that's posibble. I'm on here alot more than I would like and know how addicting it is, but I know it's entertainment, I still get carried away and say stupid things, which I usually regret. A few let it take over their lives and wondered if the mods should intervene in the best interest of the poster, that's all.

Most days I like TERB but other times I wish I never found it, because I'll be doing important stuff on the computer, next thing you know, I'm on here.
 
Some guys really need to step back, take a breather, but most importantly get a purpose driven life, not make Terb your life.
 
I missed it too but I have been staying out of politics lately with all that is happening in the Middle East...sick of it, they never will get along over there, what point in talking about them. :rolleyes:

We have our own problem's in the USA.
 
I missed why ESCO was banned too :(
 
Thanks Ballzdeep. I get sleepy reading a lot of threads, especially those of the arguing back and forth variety. I thought perhaps something especially dramatic had happened when my eyes were closed - like maybe MLAM posting pics of himself naked save for a tinfoil hat :eek:.

You're overstating things. MLAM is verbose but to say he had a breakdown? I don't see it.

I agree-- I actually like his posts. He's not an idiot and tends to write in sentences. That's nice. He's plenty opinionated, but he generally has reasoned opinions. I think his one failure is that every time somebody takes a poke at him, he pokes back. That basically means that everybody who's disagreed with him can have a tête à tête with him whenever they want. Worse yet, since he is articulate so they tend to take it personally. If MLAM wants to shoulder that I say let him.
 
I like his posts too...most bans are for just for one week I believe.
 
MLAM is one of the guys I'd like to go out for a few pints with. I like his way of thinking, (not necessarily the never ending debates), but in my opinion he is a smart, knowledgeable guy who has a decent outlook.
 
I have to admit that I am in the MLAM fan club as well. TERB is much more interesting having him around. I generally don't believe he takes it as seriously as we think. He appears to see arguments as sport and he doesn't like to lose. However, sometimes one can win by stopping at a certain point and taking the high road. He also needs to realize that the thread in question was pure and simple bait for him, and he bit. A bit like this thread:D
 
I'm not sure what MLAM got banned for, but even if it was something really stupid or antagonistic, I'm sure it couldn't have been more offensive than what guys like gryfin and persis are allowed to post in the politics section.

I Like MLAM's posts as well. I wish there was a Cole's Notes version sometimes though.
