Now I hate to be the one to post this kind of topic but I think that to make him stop beliving that everybody likes him. Do you think Sitcomwriter should be banned again? Vote and tell why you voted for that.

As you probably know I voted for yes. When he was first let back into the boards I was very dissapointed because In my opinion all the things he has said and done on this board should have had him banned from here forever. I admit that I felt a little bad about it at first so I thought he should have another chance but he has failed in his second chance and should once again be banned. Please reply and include reasons. Oh and please don't think I'm trying to start a fight or anything like that.

I think that it's not my call and I'm not going to partake in an online witchhunt.

That said, if what you all say is true, about the things he has said to you on IM, I think some of the things he has done are rude and highly inappropriate. However, if these discussions occured on IM and not through the boards, then TJ has no "jurisdiction" so to speak over what happens away from the boards.

I'm wondering, those of you that he has bother over IM--why don't you block him? Or have you?

I will say this about his conduct on the boards. It is highly annoying the way he'll find a totally random post from like 3 years ago and write "BUMP" just to bump it up, without actually adding anything to the conversation. Like a few weeks ago how he bumped up all those posts about some weird movie. There were like 3 or 4 pointless posts he bumped up for absolutely no reason other than to get attention I guess.

This poll will probably have the most yes's ever for a poll... lol, Anyway I voted Yes, Ive heard hes done stuff like make racist comments, Make fun of the 9/11 attacks, He posts Im convos he has with people on the boards without asking for permission, Insults people, Asks girls questions like what Bra Size they wear and stuff(For more info on that read the 4 score 7 years post), Most people say he is a sicko and stuff... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!

I think he is just trying to get attention because people usually do that when don't get enough of it in their daily lives. He probably doesn't feel like apart of something and so he trying to make himself be something at these boards ya know. I'm guessing he's aiming for popularity to make himslef feel good inside. I don't know this for fact but it could be true. My vote goes to No. All people have done their bad deeds within their lifetime, so it's normal.

Ditto.


However, I do want to say that I agree with the others who said he does all of this just to get attention. Look at how much effort is being spent to discuss him on these boards - all this attention he is getting. I hesitate to even respond to this post. Yes, I found it slightly annoying when he posted that nonsensical '4 score' post and I would prefer he didn't waste space with something so pointless , but I just ignored it. It couldn't be much fun for him if he never got a reply to that post. It would have been lost on the second page in one day's time. He won't have any fun posting annoying or crude comments if you ignore them, IMO.

Well he has said those kinds of things on the Three's Company fan fiction. Well not exactly asked questions to people but he has posted perverted things like that. Oh and this is a list of all the horrible things he has done on the boards. I can understand why some of you wouldn't want to ban him but he has done more things that are even on the list.

~He makes light and fun of tragedies like the WTC tragedy
~He takes real peoples problems, like peoples dying grandparents and turns them into comedies,
~He lies
~He thinks we all like him, when if you go there, can see absolutely NO ONE does
~He does perverted shows and polls
~He takes real people, and make shows about their parents dying
~He makes jokes about peoples problems when they are brave enough to tell us about them
~He thinks "he is the man", and calls himself THE GREATEST ONE
~He thinks that he's better than everyone else
~His fan-fics are pointless and stupid and thinks that he is a better writer than anyone when he's the absolute worst.
~Most of all is just plain annoying and gets on everyones nerves
which is why people alway are hating on him, he deserves to be hated on.
~He plays like he is the victim when we are, because no body likes him
~There is sooooo much more but it would take too long to list all of them.
~He doesn't even like Three's Company which he makes about 3000 different spin offs about or at least they are suppose to be about TC
~He says he hates the shows that other people said they liked just because he's jelouse
~He can't spell or has good Grammer
~He talks to himself using different names like "Groundgrl"
~He's 14 and he's obsessed w/power rangers rotflmao

From what I have read, he acts like the person in a typical teen chat room. The first time I went into one of those rooms I was shocked and ended up chatting with the moderator. As for banning, if he has broken the BBS rules, he should be punished.

Alrighty...I was the second one to vote on this (After JOblairJOblair) last night, and I was so glad when it said 100% Yes.

Now, I think Sitcomwriter should be banned. He has conducted himself terribly on this board. Mostly on Three's Company Fan Fiction. I remember when he first came, I let him write something with me and another person named Kelly (Sitcomsgrl89)...he was terrible! He mentioned all these terrible things. If you go to the TCFF board and look up "I'll Bebette On It", you'll find some VERY, VERY disgusting things. He made a spinoff about me and Kelly and him called "The Sean Snow Show" in which he portrayed us as perverted, with Kelly always saying "I want Chrissy to be a lebien" and having me say things like "I wanna get into her pants" which was TOTALLY unlike us.

When we replaced him on the show, we replaced him with a gal named Heather (Nck@Nitegurl)...she had to leave the boards and is still off because of school, but early on there was another fact. Her grandmother was dying from cancer I believe, at least that's what her best friend Kelly thinks. Sitcomwriter was very insensitvive about it, making up jokes about how funny her grandmother's death was. (Her grandmother died a few days later)

So I vote Yes, Sitcomwriter should be banned.

Sean Snow
03-10-2002, 11:25 AM
I forgot to mention this, but Sitcomwriter started a Sitcomwriter Fan Club on Yahoo...it probably has the least amount of members ever.

As for 9/11, he had this spinoff called "Melody & Chrissy" (Where Chrissy usually had one line per episode), in which they talk about what happened. He made it out to be as if nothing ever happened, he posted it on 9/11/01.

And he says we people on the boards are pressuring him to do this. Well, nothing has really changed from before, and he wasn't asking these terribly rude questions to people.

Also, I kno this didn't happen on the boards, but I'd like to mention it anyway. I kno JT, tcbubblegrl, and JWillhight kno about this. I was talking to Sitcomwriter one night and he went 'I didn't kno JT was black!' and I asked if it was a problem, and he said yeah, because blacks aren't good enough. He said blacks should never hold high offices because only whites deserve them.

I know just how you feel. I kind of wanted to post a topic like this, but then I would feel really weird. I agree with Bootsy about how what he says on IM shouldn't ban him, but if he's posting things like that without others permission, than that is illegal. I voted yes because when I try to explain things to him like on the Three's Company Fan Fiction board, he just thinks that my opinion is worthless and everyone likes him because he has such a cool show about himself that NO ONE LIKES. That's why I voted for him to banned. I've tolerated enough and I don't want him bothering us w/ inappropriate and disgusting topics again.

I'm not voting, but I do agree on what everyone here has said. He's asked me a lot of sick things through AIM, and some of his responses to the threads here are quite....disturbing. I'm not saying weather I think he should be banned or not, because like someone else said, it's TJ's decision, not yours or mine.

I am not familiar enough with sitcomwriter's previous posts to make a determination one way or the other about banning this person.

One or two people mentioned something about "racist" remarks, but did not cite any specific examples. Anybody can make an accusation like that - it seems to be standard operating procedure for certain elements in this country when they encounter a viewpoint different from their own. I'm certainly not defending the use of racial slurs - I'm just asking for definite proof, rather than someone's opinion, before making such a judgement. If sitcomwriter has made racist comments, there's no justification for it.

Goddess936 posted sitcomwriter's WTC script. I'm not so sure that he was making fun of the tradgedy (to tell you the truth, I'm not sure what to make of it!).

If sitcomwriter has made crude remarks to some of the female contributors to this board, or has been asking them highly personal and inappropriate questions, I think that is very serious, and should be dealt with harshly. The same goes for jokes about the death of someone's family member.

Most of what I've seen so far appears to be opinion, rather than fact. All I am saying here is that we need to focus on specific examples of inappropriate behavior, rather than opinion, before making a decision to ban someone. Let's get the facts on the table here.

I'm not sure if he made any racist remarks on this board but he has on a different web site. So he could in the future do that here too. He got a second chance said he would change but if anything has only gotten worse.

Well, he's done plenty of stuff on the boards, and to me, but Im not sure if it would be right to ban him from the boards becuase of it, even tho he annoys me too! (F Y I: He's done things on the board like make fun of people's dying grandparents, He's lyed ALOT, and he's just CRAZY :happyface )

98% Yes
2% No

Well, we've carried on conversations before, so I can't say a out-right YES...

Anyhow, John-Paul is kind of annoying, no offense, JP...

He has requested me to help him post fan-fics before (When he was banned), which I did for him, after reminding me every two seconds...

THEN expecting more to be done, like... "take out all the smilies" "Take out your signature" "Do not write that I posted it, so other people would read it..." and stuff like that.

Another thing is that in a game, even before saying "HEY" or "HI" or "HOWDY" or whatever, he's says "DO NOT VOTE FOR ME!"
...well? What am I suppose to say if I already have? lol. :p

Another would be him calling himself GREAT ONE and bragging along about his avatar...

I really don't think he is that serious. My guess is that he wants attention and the only way for him to get it is by stirring up trouble within these boards. Obviously, it has worked in which you guys fall for it everytime. He probably doesn't get that much attention at all in his offline life. There could be more to him than what we can see. Maybe he's going through a difficult time in his life and by being wierd gets all of his frustration, sadness, and anger out. We really don't him that well and what his life has been like. Maybe his life has been an immoral one in which he can't tell right from wrong or he has been under a bad influence, ect. He's not all to blame for this. I guess people haven't realized that. Some of his bad do-ings are indeed his fault, but not all of them. And the stuff he says are probably for fun not taking serious. :sigh: I just wish there was more love than hate on this thread.

The trend? The trend?!? What the hell do you think this is?!? Another trend such as Beanie Babies or Barbie Dolls?!? No. The World Trade Center is not a trend at all. It was a very, VERY serious thing that happened to our country and our people, something of which we did not deserve by no means. Ok, that's what makes me mad here. You think the WTC is a "trend". This is just my opinion, but I don't think it should be used as a plot either

I voted for "no". As much as he annoys me, banning him would be censorship and that is something that I do not like at all. The best thing to do if someone really bothers you is to put them on your "ignore'" list. I don't like using the ignore list because I feel it's censorship, but I put SitcomWriter on my ignore list.

Where does this idea of banning someone come from? Only the moderator can make that decision. Sitcomwriter is one of the most active members of these boards. With so many postings someone is sure to take offense at something he has said. I say, give it up and get over it. I think it's very clear that he has never tried to hurt anyone. Can't we all just get along?

Beruche
03-11-2002, 04:08 AM
Well I can understand some of you when you say that we should just ignore sitcomwriter but if he wasn't here in the first place we wouldn't have to ignore him he would be gone and wouldn't take up space with useless posts especially on the TC fan fiction board but here on the chit chat board too. Also some of you think that he hasn't really done anything bad but I and many others as well have seen proof. Some people haven't since most of it is on the tc fan fiction board. As mentioned on another post he has his own opinions but if they are going to offend people on this board they should not be on here. Also people who might have registered might not have because they read some of his posts.

I also do not want people thinking that I am trying to make the decission for TJ. I understand this perfectly but I was hoping that if enough people voted "yes" then maybe he would be banned again. Since many of us want him banned I thought up a little idea. What if we were to have a trial to see if Sitcomwriter should be banned or not. TJ would be the judge and the moderators would be the jury. I know it sounds silly but it was just a thought.

About sitcomsonline.com banning "sitcomwriter" or anybody else from the boards, dont know what kind of setup "TJ" uses here to do such a thing but I believe it would be totally impossible to ban him/her or anybody else.

I'm sure this website can ban the name "sitcomwriter" but all this person has to do is sign up under a different name and continue with his stuff and he really wants to.

Where I work at we used to have open forums on our website. That is til a local woman starting posting some rather strange stuff like calling some members of our staff the anti-Christ, "praying" that we'll die and burn in hell, calling some of our male staff "child loving homosexuals", ect.. And thats just some of the more tamer stuff she sent in.

Got to a point we had to track her down, by using her isp address.
Didnt do any good. We banned her once but the strange disgusting posts soon continued as she changed her "name" during the sign up process so she could continue her posting.
She did this at least 18 times from what I remember.

My boss ( who was also the webmaster ) got so fed up with it
that he simply did away with the open forums.

Oh to those who believe "sitcomwriter" is a teenager, may be right. But in our case the guilty party was a 38 year old woman with 2 kids.

The suggestion that we put sitcomwriter on a trial is absurd. This is a group anyone can join with very lose rules about what can and cannot be posted. Sitcomwriter has never been charged with doing anything illegal (threatening etc...) and this discussion is like a mini trial in which self appointed watch dogs decide what and who belongs here.
Sometimes in a society that TOLERATES diversity people will post and act in ways that annoy, offend and can be some consider rude or insensitive. That's life in a Democracy. Deal with it.
Also, I see that several people here are ganging up on sitcomwriter and finding comfort in the group effort. It's very similar to the kids at school who gather around student they don't like and laugh, point and kick. It's disgusting and I say to you: STOP IT.
Also, may I suggest you get out and read/rent "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller?

I think this has gone too far and here is why:

Someone shouldn't be banned just because their opinions offend others. If that were the case my lefty-opinions which have surely rubbed some right-wingers the wrong way a few times would have gotten me banned a long time ago. And vice versa.

You have to be careful here, and this is why the whole witchhunt thing becomes dangerous. There is a huge difference between having and posting unpopular opinions and posting racist, sexist, or obsence things, or attacking other people. (which, I might point out, attacking is exactly what you all are doing, only here it is somehow "ok" because you are in the majority.)

I think WingsFan came up with the perfect solution. Why don't you all stop bitching and just put him on your ignore list if he bothers you so much? Once he is ignored long enough, he will probably go away. And if he doesn't what do you care...if he's on your ignore list you don't have to deal with him. As for IM, block him.

It's not like you all are powerless to change your situation here. Stop waiting for TJ to step in and hold your hand...take control of your own destiny.

I just get tired of his idiotic and immature posts. An example being a post called "Baaaawh" on the Division board.

Complaining here isn't going to change his behavior. All it may do is make all of you feel a little better about yourselves. If you put him on your ignore list you won't have to read his annoying posts.

Yes, I think IPs can be banned. Sitcomwriter was banned for nearly two monthes, and he said he'd change. But did he? No! Though his opinions do differ, it's not that. It's not his opinions. It's the way he carries himself around the board. He asks very mean to some, and I remember on the TCFF board when we posted 'Get it on 12 year olds'...that post was deleted by Sitcomwriter. I think he's blown his chances. One day he posted 50 topics on the TCFF board (Honest to truth too, cause I remember TJ posting 'Sitcomwriter, stop it! You posted nearly 50 times yesterday!'...one of those posts was about "Mork & Mindy" and other shows. Yes, this is TJ's board, but I think we should be able to post our opinions on it. And some people on here have the opinion that Sitcomwriter is doing bad things on the board.

And thats just some of the more tamer stuff she sent in.

Got to a point we had to track her down, by using her isp address. Didnt do any good. We banned her once but the strange disgusting posts soon continued as she changed her "name" during the sign up process so she could continue her posting. She did this at least 18 times from what I remember.

My boss ( who was also the webmaster ) got so fed up with it
that he simply did away with the open forums.


That is very scary! I would think that the people she singled out for these bizarre accusations would have grounds for legal action against this woman - possibly a restraining order, maybe even a lawsuit. Something like this has the potential to progress from simple name-calling, to some form of physical violence. Discontinuing the open forum might just further infuriate this person, and compel her to try to vent her anger in some other fashion. I would not take this person lightly!

You've expressed your opnions, some of you more than once. Sitcomwriter is just one person. You have devices on the board that allow you to ignore him if you choose or you can not reply to him. No matter how much you all consider yourselves to be "regulars" (and I know it's nice to have a familiar place to come to) this is an open forum board. Fortunately that means anyone can come hear anytime. You have the right to post a thread like this but, I must say, it's very unbecoming. If I were a stranger to the board and read this I'd be wondering (even more so than I am) what the hell is going on hear? It seems that you all are having too much fun having a good ol' pile on, and have lost all perspective.

We tried to press charges against her but one thing we learned quickly was that local law enforcement does NOT want to get invloved with internet matters ( at least here in West Virginia -may be different where you live) unless the postings become threatening. In other words calling someone "an anti-Christ", saying that someone has "aids" or even "praying to Jesus " for somebodys death online is actually not illegal, according to our local county sheriffs department that is protected by freedom of speech. Even racist & homopobic remarks are protected too.

Now a direct threat ( example: Sitcomwriter comes in here and says " I will kill Dawson Girl or JoBlairJoBlair or whoever ) then the
police will get involved. Same would be true if somebody would come in here and threatens to kill themself.

I work for a broadcasting company, a cluster of three radio stations. We considered a lawsuit against her but my boss decided against it mainly due to pr. , going to court, ect..so he decided it would be best just to discontinue the forums. I myself would have sued.

Once we stopped the forums, she did for awhile sent us letters telling us that we will burn in hell and such but the letters soon stopped. Its been almost a year now, looking back I believe she singled us out due to the fact that we play classic rock- guess she thought we played the "devils" music . Dont know what became of her but in the words of the late Bill Frawley from I Love Lucy in reguards to his feelings about Vivian Vance, not knowing for sure where she is and she not knowing for sure where he is, thats how I feel about her.

About "sitcomwriter" banning IP: Sure that can be done but will it work? Doubtful with so many computers out there. Schools, libraries, even our local truck stop offers internet access. He can easily bypass the banned ip address.

This kid ( thats who I think he is ) is just having fun , he enjoys to annoy others. We get calls all the time from kids who think its soooo cool to use the "f" word on the phone, talk sex, use racist and homophobic remarks, whatever.

They will outgrow it. Though I know many adults who continue doing such stuff, to me thats scary.

Well, I can't really say cuz I used to cause trouble over at the FOL board and the TD board... haha, anyone remember me, Britt and Dana's Lisa Whelchel post? :D I was always partaking in the immature little fights that went on cuz I thought they were pretty fun. Quality entertainment! That sounds so juvenile, but oh well. Message board fights are pretty funny. Hahaha! ANYWAYZ... I derno if Sitcomwriter should be banned or not. I mean, I know he's probably just as [and if not, more] immature than I am. From what I know, he's a real jackass but hey, everyone can be at one time or another! It's all up to TJ. I think that Sitcomwriter is a pathetic, disgusting liar and he shouldn't crack jokes about serious issues. That's just wrong. But he's entitled to his own opinions and I don't believe in censorship, either. I'm not defending the kid or anything, though.

Alrighty...I was the second one to vote on this (After JOblairJOblair) last night, and I was so glad when it said 100% Yes.

Now, I think Sitcomwriter should be banned. He has conducted himself terribly on this board. Mostly on Three's Company Fan Fiction. I remember when he first came, I let him write something with me and another person named Kelly (Sitcomsgrl89)...he was terrible! He mentioned all these terrible things. If you go to the TCFF board and look up "I'll Bebette On It", you'll find some VERY, VERY disgusting things. He made a spinoff about me and Kelly and him called "The Sean Snow Show" in which he portrayed us as perverted, with Kelly always saying "I want Chrissy to be a lebien" and having me say things like "I wanna get into her pants" which was TOTALLY unlike us.

When we replaced him on the show, we replaced him with a gal named Heather (Nck@Nitegurl)...she had to leave the boards and is still off because of school, but early on there was another fact. Her grandmother was dying from cancer I believe, at least that's what her best friend Kelly thinks. Sitcomwriter was very insensitvive about it, making up jokes about how funny her grandmother's death was. (Her grandmother died a few days later)

So I vote Yes, Sitcomwriter should be banned.

OMG! I remember that!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR:mad:
