Should Ners be banned?

I voted "no." While I feel it is improper to campaign for others to vote the same, I thought I would provide a top ten list for reasons why to vote no.

10. The thing about extremes is that they always exist. Strip away the extremes, and someone inside moves closer to the outside. No Ners means Big Daddy just became a slight bit crazier. I can't live in that world.

9. Without the lunacy of Ners, this board might just become the Dodds board. While I appreciate the Dodds board as a nice vacation spot from time to time, the Mu Scoop fray is much more enticing.

8. The BMA smackdown of Ners loses its luster if Ners isn't around to argue about how it wasn't a smack down.

7. Ners is a perfect reminder of why "logic" should be taught throughout a person's schooling and not just rendered an elective in high school or college.

6. Feeling like you might be a little crazy? Read one of Ners' posts and you'll instantaneously be reminded of what crazy really is; a true barometer for craziness.

5. Without Ners, we might forget who John Dawson is. Seriously.

4. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us....unless they are written by Ners, the king of insults. A little trivia: In just his 4th post ever (as Ners, anyway), Ners wrote the following in a MU Scoop argument: "You come off pretty pompous and all-knowing, might want to re-evaluate your all-knowing attitude..." Whoa, baby. Genius from the beginning.

3. This poll is absolutely a reason to vote "no." Without Ners, gems such as this poll wouldn't be the property and province of MU Scoop. I, for one, am happy to be a member of a community that can boast that it has the most self-indulgent, ridiculous, popularity poll in the history of mankind.

2. Keep Austin weird; Keep Mu Scoop insane.

1. Ahh, F it. I am voting "yes."

PS. This list came out way less funny than it was originally envisioned in my mind. Honestly, it is pretty much comedic crap. Feel free to edit and revise as you all see fit.

This is awesome. +10000000.

I gladly voted yes Ners to be banned. Already blocked but because this thread was created - good riddance.

I completely agree!

[madtownwarrior]

If I vote yes, can you take Ellisium with you?

[MuMark]

Can we cut off the voting now or does the poll run all season?

[River rat]

No
He is extremely annoying and wrong but at least he is a fan.
Chicos is far more destructive and negative towards the program, he should be the first one banned, every other mu site has.

[hairy worthen]

I voted Yes only because you created the poll for yourself.   

"Enough about myself, what do you think of me?"

If most of you actually posted polls and voted in polls at a high level like Ners, then you would understand.

Ners has been around high level polls for a long time and he knows what high level polls look like. He even coached about the use of polls in poll camps. Hell he may even have posted polls in high school.  So he has every right to post a poll about himself.

Ners brings more entertainment than the majority of you dolts combined.  Without him, this forum would be as bland as generic oatmeal every morning for 15 years.  

Of course ..... the entertainment value will double when the dark lord himself returns.  Take Heed !!!!!!!!!

Ahh, but The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy has already arrived!



Post, post, post, Ellisium!  I, The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy, command it!

Who is Ners?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Hell of a race!!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Banned? Absolutely not. Dialed down a notch, sure

I change my vote.

Ners should be banned. Not permenately. But given the two week vacation (also known as the Keefe politics special  ).  I changed my vote after reading a recent thread in which a mod warned Ners about going on and on about Derrick/Dawson. Ners responded by quoting the mod, saying he felt his comments were valid, and proceeded to go on and on about Derrick/Dawson. He has been warned by Mods several times about this issue and has ignored the warnings. That warrants a small vacation IMHO. That of course is up to the all powerful Mods, keepers of the legendary banhammer.

Ners brings good insight and opinions to the board. Its how he delivers them that I think most take issue with.

"How he delivers them", or how often?

I have no problem with his opinions, and I can usually accept the way he expresses them.  The part that's getting most tiresome for me - expressed very well yesterday by FreeportWarrior - is his childish refusal to take his lumps and admit when he is wrong...or at the very least, just let it go.

Last year Buzz didn't get it.  This year Wojo doesn't get it.  But Ners once played basketball and now enjoys hot yoga, so he sees things our coaches don't.

We all be Americans, aina? Let freedom ring, y'all.

[Avenue Commons]

I voted No. Ners is a key "character" in the MUScoop narrative. Without Ners, the story just won't be the same.

Who even thinks to create a poll about themselves, let alone post it. We need that special brand of loony. Plus Ners has to do more than shill soft serve frozen yogurt in the tundra, live in a hi rise, and practice bikram Yoga.

[willie warrior]

This board should allow for a free expression of ideas.

But, repeating the same idea/opinion over and over and over.......not so sure.

Nevertheless, I vote no.

If you do not want to listen/read the repeated BS, vote yes. Then he said he would go away.

[brandx]

It was a sincere effort to give the board a chance to speak.  There's been a LOT of frustration with my viewpoints here and I've read many times I'm making the board unreadable - and that is not my intent.  I have no desire to "ruin" this board and if the majority feel I do - then I'll leave.  (And probably get more work done in the process.)

Get over yourself. Just quit making E V E R Y thread about Derek vs. John.

If you can't do that, you should leave voluntarily.

Just until Dawson gets the starting nod.

And day trade, don't forget the high risk day trading.

[Galway Eagle]

Maybe we should do scoop survivor where we vote someone off each week!

[Vander Blue Man Group]

I haven't voted personally but I did receive two additional votes through my contact in Milwaukee:

Absolutely Yes:



Hell No:

So... any chance that you'll be starting a self ban thread in the future?
