Help me remember? Tom's funniest moment. The Nazi film that he modified? The details are fuzzy but I laughed for days?

this is tomclen. he is seriously funny. you, not so much. your sense of humor must be questioned. anticipating tom's article about the VT serial killer... In my humble opinion, there are lines in comedy that can't be crossed. If you want to joke about murder in a fictional or non-offensive sense, fine. In this precise situation, though, when tomclen asked if there is someone to kill, with all fingers pointing at #GBR right now, it's not funny and it's not a joke. I know tomclen isn't serious, and so does 99% of the board! I enjoy dark humor myself, but this situation isn't a good example. #GBR can make a valid claim that there are people on volleytalk joking about killing him. This is bullying, regardless of #GBR's guilt. Excuse me if 402's feelings in response to some bullying his way doesn't exactly choke me up. I've never interacted with a more vile human in my life, someone who appeared to experience true joy from causing distress to others. I didn't see any post that would lead me to believe someone joked about killing him, however. I think you're drawing that conclusion on your own.

bullying has gotten such a bad rap. and other behaviors such as general impoliteness have been equated with bullying. some people need to be pushed around, pushed back, or pushed away. sometimes you gots to be an impolite bully type to do it. I rest my poor argument.

tomclen is an old man in his 60s or 70s. Old people will occasionally do stupid shiite like use the N-word, give random people their credit card, and hire hitmen to kill their barber for giving them a bad haircut.

Honestly, set a zero tolerance standard. No vulgarity, personal attacks, etc, whatever you as moderators deem as unacceptable. This is a forum for volleyball, we should at least be able to have debate and discussions without someone getting all sensitive about jokes or sarcasm, or taking a job at one's favorite team personally. I enjoy the humor of many people on here, and bet I would enjoy having a beer and watching a match with most of you...except for Wolfgang apparently...and we SHOULD be able to conduct ourselves on here as we would in that type of a setting. Also, I like broccoli... I don’t drink but I’d buy you one and have a water with lime and share some broccoli (no ranch, please).

I do not understand why someone would post on multiple accounts? I do not understand why posting here is so important that if you can not do it then everyone else must suffer? I do not get people who are more interested in confrontation then understanding. Honest to God, none of that makes any sense to me. It’s just Volleytalk, something some of us slightly older people do to pass the time with a few friends. Obstinance is a real thing! It’s in some posters DNA. And while discussions are mostly polite, I don’t see many folks changing their minds on here or conceding points! It’s akin to the tribalism of politics, religion or football in this country. Maybe a new doctrine for family gatherings: “Don’t talk religion, politics or Volleytalk while at Uncle Franks cookout”. It is overall a fantastic community following a great sport! I find it easy to ignore or block confrontational trolls. I’ve yet to block anyone. I still for some sick reason like to be slack-jawed at some posters’ thoughts that they chose to publicize.

I no longer moderate for the same reason (partly anyhow) I do not own a gun: I could no longer guarantee I could do it responsibly. Even so, my restraint was admirable. I shot very few people. In my opinion, of course. Just look. villageidiot is still with us. Thank you for only grazing vi. ❤️

Every time crap like this happens on Volleytalk I always think about the ending of the movie "What Happens in Vegas", that is OK at best, but the short clip after the credits start at the end I could watch everyday, and below is the outcome. The mods could form a VT hit squad and when someone starts acting like an assclown they just find someone from the squad in or near that city and give them the mission, if they chose to accept, and they go to the assclown's house and ring the door bell, and are crouched down so they are not seen when the door opens, and when that assclown answers the door... wham! they get slugged where it counts and when the assclown is on the ground grasping his jewels, face contorting and can't say a word due to the pain that's when the VT hit man says, "YOU KNOW WHY!" and just walks away. It's just the image that pops in my head every time this crap happens, and I know I'm assuming every assclown is a guy, but it still would be funny as sh*t. Also, have a tomclen type sidekick who is in charge of videoing the event and posting on VT so everyone may enjoy the video. The only flaws I could really think about in this idea are making sure the hit squad members can punch really hard, and then someone like Villageidiot might not be able to have kids after a year or two. LMAO

Either use the / or if you have a numbers pad on the right of your laptop, hold down alt key while typing all four of 1014, then release alt keyand you get ÷ He/she probably doesn't even know what pi is. It's what follows 'magnum'. DUH!

Behave or face consequences. I understand that. I wanted to know the specifics of the quote. I'm not trying to argue or be a pain here. Just seeking clarification. You sound worried. If you weren't doing anything close to violating the rules, you wouldn't need any clarification.
