Hypothetical question
« on: November 03, 2007, 05:32:00 pm »
Would you vote Brian Walalce off the board if it meant having Dupek back?

Is Brian that bad?  I think his rants are funny.

I agree with econo on this one... even thought his rant regarding the short comings of DAR was spot on...

Brian is a rank amateur compared to Dupek, an AA vs. a PhD.

Dupek was a lot funnier than Brian when he wasn't being a racist.
 
 
 His playlist threads were a riot.

Brian is one of my new favorite posters. This place would be Dullsville without him.
 
 A few indiscretions aside, I do truly miss Dupek, The Master, though. Can he come back? Pretty please.

I do miss Dupek -- towards his final days he had gotten totally obsessed with race, though... if he's put that behind him, or at least learned to stuff a sock in it, it would be nice to have him back.

walalce is annoying, but predictable.  the only person he succeeds in insulting is himself.
 
 dupek, while entertaining, turned into an immature and insensitive racist prick.  his MO was to blindly push people's buttons, not to get them to think or to get them out of their comfort zone or anything potentially elevating... he did it for the sole purpose of pissing them off.  my theory on that is that he wanted everyone else to be as angry and petty as he was.  he had gone downhill in his last few months, but was a lot of fun to have around before that.  i'd definitely take 'the old' dupek back.

Brian is annoying, but it's not like there aren't a few other annoying posters here.  I think the difference is that Brian consciously tries to be annoying.
 
 I vote for letting Dupek back.

I think the race thing is not to be trivialized though.  We were all kind of used to Dupek's quirks, but imagine what effect seeing those posts would have on a newbie coming here.  They'd think they had stumbled on Klan Central rather than a music board.  It wasn't like he kept it isolated to one or two threads, either.

Yeah it got way out of hand.
 
 
 I guess I could see how it could be a liability of sorts to the club.

Hypothetically: why should we have to endure either of them? I guess I missed the part in the Constitution where people were guaranteed a right to life, liberty, and to piss off everyone on 930.com.

curious i've never heard of that part of the constitution, and the right to free speech doesn't apply in a private forum...
