Is Lloyd Schoene even moderately funny?

Bacon props!!
I was thinking of starting a discussion regarding whom we should drive off the TUSCL board, but thought twice just in case I was wrong. Is Lloyd Schoene even moderately funny and worth keeping around TUSCL?
Does his posts add any value spamming up the discussion board? It seems to me he is just trolling for attention, but it could just be my opinion. How many of you want to hear about electrical capacitators? If most people say he is worthy I shal concur, otherwise if not then maybe founder should consider banning his trolling habits and being a creepy jackass behind the computer. F2f I would handle things differently as there would be consequences. Online he gets away with this.

I have *lots* of people on ignore, because my tolerance for idiotic or hateful posters is low and getting lower, but somehow I've never even considered putting SJG on ignore. If he bores or bothers you that much, I suggest that you simply use the ignore feature -- that's what it's for.
If we were to drive him away from the board, there are a number of other posters who are just plain cruel and vindictive (and I think they either know who they are or are at least as delusional as SJG) who in all frankness I would want to see banned before SJG.
Don't want to hear him out? Fine. That's why there's an ignore button. Feel like he's baiting you? Just don't react to it.
Can't we all just get along? (And yes, I know how well that line worked out for Jack Nicholson in "Mars Attacks"). ;-)
If you really dislike san_jose_guy just put him on ignore. I'm not going to criticize ATACdawg for his statement but I can't remember any direct threats that were not said in jest. I've always felt that san_jose_guy was basically a nice guy whose words were misinterpreted.
Nobody really knows anybody else on the Internet so who knows. But I'm going to treat him as a nice guy unless he either treats me in a way I don't like or says something negative that is not a joke. If he does that I'm just going to ignore him, not start threads with all sorts of negativity. :(
But I don't think he'll do that.
I used to be a SJG fan, but can't anymore after his advocacy of violence.
One strange thing is how much he needs strawmen and people to disagree with. I want to agree with him on number of points politically. I tell him I do. But he insists that we disagree and wants to tell me what my true beliefs on political manners are. Well trust me, I don't have a problem with stating my true beliefs about things on this board, so it's entirely a fantasy of his to give him a windmill to charge.
If could drop the advocacy of violence, I could probably be a SJG fan again.
Also, I used to find SJG's stories about Wall Street after the crash to be quite funny (when he was deliberately trying to be funny).
I don't think so. I PMed Motorhead after SJG threatened him, and he was unconcerned. He thought SJG was creepy but not dangerous. I am worried about Motorhead. His silence is most likely due to illness or worse.
I like Meat72's take on it, how everybody needs a punching bag. If this guy was f2f instead of posting from the Internet, he would not survive an hour in reality. Some of the shit he states is high outlandish, unfunny, and mostly untrue. I just think if he was face 2 face things would be handled differently. I would soak his head in sodium bicarbonate, and then some vinegar. Rinse and repeat would be the interaction, especially after threatening and claiming to rape women in their sleep. The world doesn't need creepy assholes like him around, which is why I am so adamant about abolishing him.
I tried being friendly when I first joined this board, but his persistency in counter culture and left wing liberal fascism makes me wonder if it was his Idealogy that lost the election for Hillary Clinton? I mean who can believe such anti-American corruption thoughts are OK? He doesn't like white men, marriage, middle class working America, or anything that deals with capitalism. That's just wrong and racist. Such a hypocrite, SJG!
1. no one ever gets banned.
2. founder allows multiple user accounts per user
3. there is moderation and no mods.
4. all of this seems to be encouraged, perhaps because founder enjoys some of the resulting discussions. he appears to comment as such.
almost no place on the internet allows #1, #2, and #3. Tuscl does, perhaps because of #4. The feedback we get from founder is he likes the non-existent moderation of the forums. It's a feature not a bug.
Therefore I don't think it is anyone's place to "run" anyone "off." It's not our place to moderate tuscl.
That's my $.02.
