Thanks. The little self-promotion machine was getting on my nerves.

Ava's replacement seems to have had an accident with a granite slab.

         I have to give props to the little bastard - making people go through him to donate to Obama. Truly audacious and self-important, the hallmark of most self-aggrandizing liberals.

         I'm thinking Skinner was scared of the competition, more than anything else.

I sent him an email inviting him here for some real debate/discussion, we'll see if he responds...

1. In the last post (since deleted) I counted:
   
12 personal pronouns and first-person adjectives (and it wasn't a very long post).

3. I thought he was cute as a button even if a bit precocious. He did not bother me a bit.

8. He had like three posts removed in half an hour, because they were all utterly contentless "why does nobody pay attention to me hey look at my website" spam.

24. He is a minor. Probably best to cut him loose.
   
If he couldn't be controlled, and if he wouldn't follow convention, it's probably best to avoid possible liability.

26. well, one out of two isn't bad
   
I am not 14 but I AM Zaphod Beeblebrox. So huge that I destroyed the center of the world. It used to be my big sister. Then I was born.

7. This is what I tried to post to the last thread
   
"I believe you are who you say you are, if only because your endless yabbering.

While people of your age (and, unfortunately, far too many who are older) tend to think it's all about YOU, it's not. It's really not. So quit the bullshit. Nobody's trying to push you out. Nobody really cares enough to try. It's not all about YOU.

Relax, stop placing yourself at the center of everything you post, and let the process of becoming part of a community happen organically. But most of all, RELAX. All this me-me-me-ism" is just grating and annoying now. Cut the bullshit."

It was deleted before I could get it in.

11. He was annoying, but for Christ's sake he was just a kid....
   
if we can't either ignore the little annoyances or at least refrain from being mean to children, we are truly assholes. I remember what it was like to be a precocious teen who didn't quite fit in with either my peers or the adults, it was not fun. That being said, I'm not sorry to see him go

20. Too many here are proud of their rudeness. Bragging about getting rid of a 14 year old kid.
   
How hard was that?

Those of us who are older are used to the rudeness by now...but good Lord, the he was 14.

I think this is bragging.

23. This is not a proud day for DU. So bully me for saying that.       

Shame on you for posting this about a 14 year old.

25. Youth is not a blanket excuse to act like an ass.
   
He was unable to participate in this forum without making himself a general irritant. A thank-you to the mods for removing irritants, while against the rules (and I am surprised this has not yet been locked) is not uncommon. I am not going to mourn the loss of a self-absorbed self-promoting poster, simply because that poster happened to be younger than most self-absorbed self-promoting posters.

(And for all your talk about bullies, this is your third "shame on you" post in one thread...)

30. Never mind that a lot of people work and manage social conventions well by 14
   
I know for some DUers, the general infantilization of society has extended even to seniors in college, who are apparently still helpless children unable to negotiate foreign airports. But many of us actually used to drag our asses to school and work at 14, and some of us even had to learn about being adults by actually having adults treat us as adults. GASP! The horror, the loss of innocence, the "bullying."

While the sheer frequency with which some posters start crying about bullying certainly makes me sad for THEIR own teenage years, I find it is overblown in 99 out of 100 cases. Some stuff isn't "bullying." It's adequate and honest treatment of young adults and semi-adults. And there's nothing wrong with that.

28. This was a for profit promotional scam.
   
I am skeptical of the age and identity of the real poster.

How much money did he fleece from DU rubes in "donations" in his brief con game here?

31. Locking.

Heh. I wonder if they realize that their reactions to the precocious primitive are the same reactions the rest of the world often has about them?

Probably not, Dixie. Irony is lost on them.

If they banned all "self-absorbed self-promoting posters" over there, there would be about three people left.

Odd that Ava didn't get banned, then.  She's as much a self-centered attention whore as Asher.  I suppose she got a pass because she distracted the DUmp monkeys with pretty pictures of dead Iraqis.

I don't think she was perceived as financial competition for the $kammermeister in the same way the late and unlamented AH (perhaps a hidden Hitler allusion was a tongue-in-cheek part of the whole scam?).

     I think the kid's goal is to get to do the voiceover at the end of Obama commercials: "I'm Asher Whatever, and I approve this message." You know, instead of Obama saying it.

     What a little megalomaniac. Maybe if his mommy and daddy would pay just a little more attention to him, he wouldn't have to risk getting collared by an off-duty NAMBLA member doing their daily trolls of DU and Kos.
