Be Good, WSO

Andy hit me with a PM informing me moderating my shit is causing them significant distress. I hadn't realized that my fun was coming at the expense of anyone else. He said I gotta change, but I don't play that shit, so I'm asking him to ban me.

It's been a lot of fun, ladies and gents. I hope they don't retroactively delete all my shit. I'll pop back in 8 years and have a laugh like I do at my old T-Nation teenage year posts back when that was my internet troll cave. I think I'm done with internet troll caves though. Wasting time and energy - a grave sin. I'm gonna start writing books under pseudonyms to get the words out when I get hype like that.

Y'all better step up and bully these fucking kids when I'm gone.

peace & love, shitbirds

"thebrofessor" I'd just prefer if you weren't moderated

catch you on the flipside goldie, we'll miss you

I agree here. There should be a subsection of the off topic forum with minimal moderation (don’t post hate crimes or whatever) but Goldie’s posts/ comments are fine (like they always have been before people complained so much)

Sadly, that is what happens in 2019/2020. Put some little fucking brats in their place, and they go and complain to someone to have you ousted. Some other dude mentioned elsewhere that he appreciates your posts and whatnot, and I agree. While some posts and comments are off-hinged, all in all you made this a better and funnier place.

I have some of your threads bookmarked so they better not delete them. Good luck bruva

 

These coddled millennials with their trigger warnings and safe spaces...how dare they ruin the fun?

Funniest

see you tomorrow my dude

Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Investment Banking Full-time Analyst Programme (London) at JPMorgan Chase. After a thorough review of your application, we regret to inform you that we are unable to move forward with your candidacy at this time.
 

Take care!

I really think this highlights the kind of sensitive audience spreading across all message boards and community these days. I find that most people need guidance help from a certified professional with their issues.

This forums and many others have seen an increase in a lot of content that screams mental health crisis.

No pain no game.

Goldie, that wasn't Andy, that was me. All I asked is if you could be a little less inflammatory.

Now stop being an asshole and post funny shit (you don't have to call everyone a bitch to be funny). I still remember some weird ass drugged out video you posted about 8yrs ago (classic Goldie) and you are entertaining /interesting, so I don't want to see you go.

The team is small and just saying if you could help us out a bit that would be great.

Thanks, Patrick and exhausted wso mod team

 

Mods are asleep; post actual golden cinderblocks
