Hey, I remember you! You're our resident Daily Mail reader! Man, it's been a long time, innit?

Anyway, have some Findus Crispy Pancakes:

At some point, a few of us were made moderators to help deal with the ridiculous amount of spam (which the average poster never sees but if you could, you would probably stop visiting). While we have discretion to manage non-spam posts, I can only speak for myself. I don't police these sub-forums, I don't know who gast is, I certainly don't approve of this thread in particular but at the same time, I don't want to read their 7000 other posts to figure out what else they're contributing. Plus, what offends me may not offend others and vice versa. So, banning individuals seems like a last resort (and I should point out that one registered member still occasionally sends me death threats!)

I agree with those who say the ignore feature is the best response. This thread should have ended at one post. Aside from some lovely ladies, what else have the responses contributed?

Aaaanyway. If this persists/escalates/requires re-evaluation, you can find me in the SY forum discussing the variances in locked grooves on difference pressings of EVOL. Thanks everyone!

YES.

i don't think it's a coincidence that he got bjork to act in one of his films because he's like the film director version of her.

He definitely divides people. There's a ludicrous side to him, for sure. Anyway, he fits in this thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stjM2q3D8I4

ive never seen gaspar noé but you guys don't like ozon or "von" trier?

(i mean their work, not their public personas)

[demonrail666]

I quite like Ozon but I love Von Tier. Their films not their personas (although in the case of Von Trier it's sometimes difficult to separate them). Gaspar Noe seems increasingly like he's a one hit wonder. If you wanna see anything by him just see Irreversible. But be prepared. It's not an easy watch.

the problem is that someone inevitably does respond to gast and even if they dont, he will ruin every thread he shows up in by endlessly ranting and harrassing other users. your post sounds like a bit of a cop out, as if you are too afraid to offend anyone. please just delete the troll! he doesnt make it a pleasant environment for the rest of us to talk in, and his anti gay/woman/semite rhetoric is just not acceptable.

same here w/ ozon & von trier. living outside of europe i don't get to see them on tv/the newspapers/ whatever so i only know them through their work.

noé does not sound like the kind of stuff i like (some kind of torture porn?) but i'll keep him in mind for the sake of literacy.

It's torture porn on the strength of two scenes but it's far too much of a headfuck to really just be thought of like that. It doesn't gross you out so much as leave you feeling sort of empty, depressed. It's a masterpiece but not one to be taken lightly. For me once was enough. Definitely watch it though.

I'm gonna concede in public that yer right here (have already PM'd a member here throwing in the towel on my previous ban-hammering rants). Whilst I <still> take offence at his homophobia - sorry pop kids, that's just the way it is for me - he obviously needs some pretty serious mental health treatment...and I speak as someone who's just crawled out of 2+ years of severe MH stuff myself.

I was immediately reminded today of the Emma West case here that happened a couple of years ago.

Get over it. Some people might feel the same about your posts (not me, just saying)... Didn't you read the FAQ? DUH. We don't censor here. Just either put them on your ignore list, or bombard their threads with troll posts like the rest of us, but seriously, whether you like gast or not is irrelevant to our little SYG experiment in non-censorship.

[Rob Instigator]

What we all overlook is that gast is a homosexual Jew. Self-hate is the ugliest hate of all.

if you dont like censorship then expect to hear me call for that dipshit to be banned whenever i feel like it, or put me on ignore.

[MellySingsDoom]

And while I'm here - has anyone got any Lemsip I could help myself to?

That is fine. Maybe you can bitch and moan about it to these people in line while you grab some dumb coffee for Melly. Its SilverLake, so I'm sure at least 40 people with rimmed glasses and awkwardly stylish clothes will surely feux concern
