His profile is deleted from the members list, if it ever existed. Edit: It appears that his last posts were about sex, a mate who would provide sex and meals; hatred of many nationalities, ethnicities, religious factions, and John Madden; and this: "I traveled down the path, got to the end, it was lame, i turned around, walked back down the path in the opposite direction, started a new path." The last quotation sounds like a good epitaph for the drug-induced philosophy of the one who didn't mosk only on the bottom or middle, but was indeed the top mosker. Shine on, top mosker. Yet another edit: If you click his name, and check his profile some other way than trying the members list, right now it says "Offline", but lists no time for "Last visited". There's a bit of a bug with invisible mode where if you are on with invisible mode, it says "Offline", but doesn't list a time. So maybe he's on right now, merely with the title "banned"?

Banned because after deleting yet another post from him and recalling again that he's never posted anything philosophical in his life I asked the moderators if there was any reason other than the momentum of having been around for a while that he wasn't banned, and the answer was a definite no.

Top Mosker was one of my fav posters. And now he is Banished. I like the way he stirred the pot, um, so to speak. I actually liked his path post and have felt that way a few times myself. I think we will need to have a Top Mosker memorial.. zOOmz, defender of moskers..

Will there next be some momentum applied to banning zOOmz? Are there folks here (long standing, obnoxious, troublemaking folks) who more than deserve to be banned?? I say a definite yes. I am sad that you banned Top Mosker. I think that he had something worthwhile to say but not everyone was listening. zOOmz

zOOmz wrote: I like the way he stirred the pot, um, so to speak. Sure, like for example top mosker wrote: I know the posts are not exactly of quality as of late, but this one was downright retarted. You simply took two superficial stereotypes of two different ideologies, having no knowledge of what either term means and you posted some "funny" comments on why you hate both of them. Congratulations, you are a tool Tiervexx. Yeah, I miss that and the thousand other "stirring" posts so much. zOOmz wrote: zOOmz has never posted anything very philosophical either. I was under the impression zOOmz had on occasion posted in philosophy topics. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Anyhow, if zOOmz were to start similarly "stirring" things all the time then the lack of any content contributions to make it worth putting up with the approach would make a ban likely. Someone who contributes nothing positive to the goals of a site should not expect to stick around, even though they probably would if they didn't do anything negative.

It does seem a shame. I read the supposed 'hatred of many nationalities' - it was a joke response to a crap thread. No-one posted a single serious response in that whole thread. And as for the 'road' one; shit, that was in response to a Community thread I posted when bored at school which wasn't really looking for a serious response. His posts may not have been full to the brim with philosophy, but he was obviously intelligent and brought an interesting perspective to many a discussion. There are many others with worse attitudes and less philosophy, and many without two brain cells to rub together! Top Mosker R.I.P. Who'll be next to be PURGED!! f

Yea I am glad I brought this up, cause I am sad to see top mos boy go too. Actually when he told me about he actually said that is was ok cause he wanted to stop his addiction of coming here....and if paul banned him for lack of philosophical posts.well there are lots of other people that should be banned on that premise too, I just dont see the justification to ban him at all
