No. Sure we're dissapointed in the direction the site has taken, but no it's not "bad".


Me thinks we may have a snake in our apple tree! ;)

Hmmm....

Okay first of all the nick here is quite guestionable so if you seriously want to be a part of this forum give me a pm and we'll change it to something less offensive and after that we can carry on otherwise you might get to be the lucky number 1 of our ban list.

Hello, I've already changed the display name so it's a Father Ted / Irish-dialect English reference.

Next, adding in the throwaway gmail address to the poor choice of username *and* to have a first post that's deliberately aimed at starting a controversy, well, we have to ask what all the anger is about... and to moderate posts from this user.

Should this user not ever post again, well, it's less work for us mods and admins.

:trolls:

And part of warring with trolls is to not feed them what they desire. And that, I believe, is true to the quote from Mr. Ibsen. We ask that members in good standing do the right thing, make Billy proud, and war with trolls.

The full quote goes with the story about the publication of Ibsen's work, Peer Gynt:

Unlike Ibsen's previous epic Brand, which featured a noble protagonist, Peer Gynt met mixed responses. The poem was eviscerated by Norway's most influential critic, Clemens Petersen, who called it an "intellectual swindle", and declared that it was not poetry. Georg Brandes, another critic, said: "Ibsen's poem is neither beautiful nor true; what acrid pleasure can any poet find in defiling humanity like this?" After his fury (Ibsen was a bitter hater of his critics), his most illuminating answer to his critics is in an inscription he wrote in a book: "To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul. / To write is to sit in judgement on oneself."

In all its unstageable recklessness, Peer Gynt is a pitiless self-portrait of a man fleeing the most essential conflicts within himself, endlessly seduced by his own trolls. Ibsen wasn't admired by people like James Joyce or Sigmund Freud for no reason: he was one of the first modern writers to externalise the demons of the unconscious, and Peer Gynt was the first of his extended explorations of the potent truths of nightmare and fantasy, the trolls beneath the skin of mundane reality.

Thanks for the kind welcome. The vulgar language was not meant to cause such a stir.  My name comes from an obscure thrash metal with the same name. Change it back or I won’t contribute here. That’s no way to welcome new members.

Well we're just trying to run a nice and pleasant forum here. And I don't think choosing a vulgar display name is really the right way to go. Regardless of where it comes from.

So no. We will not change it back.
