Whisp has been PPRed [View all] pintobean Sep 2014 OP

as did oldhippie hrmjustin Sep 2014 #1

That one was an ass. nt boston bean Sep 2014 #7

Um I didn't follow him but skinner agreed. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #9

I noticed he was pretty hateful to women. bettyellen Sep 2014 #20

That is probably why he was ppr'ed. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #24

I think being here 10 years and then PPR'd as a troll... DeadLetterOffice Sep 2014 #29

Well troll can mean anything. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #30

Totally get it. DeadLetterOffice Sep 2014 #37

Apt descriptor. Old hippies I know offline were nothing JimDandy Sep 2014 #209

Just so. As an unreconstructed freak in good standing, I felt his handle was inaccurate. riqster Sep 2014 #343

He was also a pro-nuclear troll. I'm happy to hear he's gone. nt bananas Sep 2014 #552

I don't get the Admins using the "sock" reason- for that weird rapey poster @ Discussionist, or bettyellen Sep 2014 #31

Yeah I was not please either with that reason. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #33

I think his MO was to deliberately creep out women.... bettyellen Sep 2014 #226

It might suck, but rules are for everyone. moriah Sep 2014 #111

Skinner explained that The Straight Story Sep 2014 #161

Ack, the link isn't opening now, but thanks for trying to explain! bettyellen Sep 2014 #217

Unfortunately BainsBane Sep 2014 #461

It's an easy out - TBF Sep 2014 #303

and to use that same message for Pipsquawk BainsBane Sep 2014 #424

and yet the community didn't hide a single post in the past 90 days. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #55

It says no hide. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #57

That's why I limited it to 90 days. n/t Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #61

It could have been an alert that didn't get a hide. pintobean Sep 2014 #62

I'm guessing there were many alerts on his posts in the past 90 days. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #63

No, there were no alerts on him .... PsychoBunny Sep 2014 #119

How would you know if any of his posts were alerted? JTFrog Sep 2014 #122

Because he is my grandfather PsychoBunny Sep 2014 #128

Sad. Say bye back, and wish him all the best. polly7 Sep 2014 #134

Actually that was his sock BainsBane Sep 2014 #444

Even he wouldn't know if his posts were alerted unless they were hidden. JTFrog Sep 2014 #135

posters do not know if they were alerted on unless the alert ended in a hide or someone notifies uppityperson Sep 2014 #256

If he "pissed off HoF" their influence lies in alerting. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #131

hof has ZERO frickin influence on skinner. boston bean Sep 2014 #136

The person you are responding to has just been delivered a pizza. William769 Sep 2014 #414

LOL. Thanks for letting me know... boston bean Sep 2014 #422

HOF has less than no influence w/ Admin... and he would never know if anyone alerted on him bettyellen Sep 2014 #223

Exactly what influence on Skinner would that be? NuclearDem Sep 2014 #282

Post fail bro. Agschmid Sep 2014 #306

Those kind of comments are disrespectful to Skinner BainsBane Sep 2014 #453

I did a search of his recent posts and saw nothing that would merit a PPR BainsBane Sep 2014 #271

I didn't get her locked out... I guess someone should have sent a memo. JTFrog Sep 2014 #364

A memo?... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #367

Yes. I'm suggesting I didn't realize she was locked out of the thread after a jury let her post stay JTFrog Sep 2014 #368

talk about bad form ... Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2014 #558

I really don't know what you're referring to... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #586

if you think about the banning, you would realize it can't possibly be the truth. boston bean Sep 2014 #153

Yes, I know. Did you ever get an explanation? nt sufrommich Sep 2014 #157

I searched under the two names listen on her PPR message myself BainsBane Sep 2014 #273

Um... pintobean Sep 2014 #164

That was a blatant silencing tactic. JTFrog Sep 2014 #125

Well it might have been a combination of things. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #213

anti choice, anti women posts CreekDog Sep 2014 #234

Don't think I ever saw his "anti-choice" posts, but then again I'm not exactly surprised. nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #291

He was an unpleasant jerk with some obviously right-wing-ish views on race and gender. n/t nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #290

I've known too many sexist old hippies in my life. hunter Sep 2014 #163

He was PPR'd as a troll BainsBane Sep 2014 #376

I wish we got more than I trooll response so I have no idea why he was banned. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #377

Can you find a post that would suggest that? BainsBane Sep 2014 #379

No I never really read his thread. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #380

Oh, I suppose BainsBane Sep 2014 #381

The reason I doubt it is because the ppr message would have mentioned it. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #382

That is a good point. BainsBane Sep 2014 #383

It looks like you were right that oldhippie had socks. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #432
