Unless anyone has failed to notice somebody felt the need to impersonate me this morning, in numerous threads across the forums. If they had used the name then fair enough, but they also used my tagline SDTAGW, which is proof enough that the intent was malicious.
They have made numerous statements, all of which I find to be offensive and in some cases slanderous.
What is more this person was Insane Bartender, a supposed notable.
He has even admitted it saying it was a joke.

SR has previously banned members whom maliciously impersonated staff and users, though I doubt that this will be the case.
I do not expect Mr Snuggly to do stuff all, after all he's played a part occasionally.
The rules of the forum, that staff are so apt to refer to, state:
PLEASE NOTE: These chat forums are viewed by children, so no bad language will be tolerated. Should you post foul or offensive language, your posts will be deleted and you will be removed from the system. If you persist in swearing, you will be banned. Posts entered entirely in capitals will also not be valid, please use lower case text. Do not illegally boost your word count by quoting other users' posts without adding anything. We reserve the right to ban users from contributing to any part of the site, whether it be for swearing, copying, bullying, spamming or advertising other websites, or any other action we feel inappropriate. Linking directly to illegal downloads ie. music/films will not be tolerated and users may be banned if they persist in doing so.
What he has done is inappropriate and repeatedly, even after being asked to stop.
They are most certainly foul in some cases, all offensive to me.
They contains numerous all CAPS messages.
It most certainly is bullying.
Most certainly spamming.
Of course he's a notable, you'll do stuff all, but I feel other forums users should see what happens when certain people decide they don't like you and your opinions, and how the staff - at least Snuggly - turn a blindeye to it.
Should no action be taken all forum users should not that they can now;
1) Relentlessly name call and abuse anyone they wish, constantly, including staff so long as no swear words are used.
2) You can impersonate anyone, including staff, as long as you find a way to do it.
Have fun, and this won't be the last of this...

In other words it helps them do what they can't do themselves or work towards.

Not the same. Food contents are listed, if I eat a pile of chocolate it has zero impact on everyone around me, that is not the same for smokers. When was the last time someone mugged/killed for chocolate ? Try never, then apply that to drugs.
Addiction to smoking/drugs/alcohol is an illness, as is addiction to unhealthy foods in excess.

Yep. I don't like smoking myself, but I don't look down on other people for smoking, because like I said previously, we all have our weaknesses for things that are bad for us.

The thing with drugs is that it is entirely up to the individual whether to get involved with smoking and drugs in the first place. Sure, there can be peer pressure and passive smoking but you can still walk away harm free if it means that much to you.
Now if a government is mis-behaving, funding corrupt groups and governments who oppress and kill people, that is a very different thing, as those poor people at the bottom get no say in it, just trampled on whatever they do.

Or maybe he was complaining at the governments double standards for accepting alcohol) while damning drugs (some of which are barely more harmful than alcohol).
I don't know what he was talking about there because I've not read that post or it's context, maybe it was joking, maybe something else, but I doubt he was really complaining about his pints costing less...
It works for people who don't have the patience to work through meditation and, naturally, their quick fix doesn't give them long term results.
It's not just smoking and drugs that's bad though, is it?
Drinking, eating fast/takeway/other unhealthy foods, living in a poluted city, not doing enough exercise, using mobile phones, watching too much TV, playing too many video games, using the internet too much...
And it's not simply addiction to drugs that is an illness, it's an addiction to ANYTHING (I read about this in the new Scientist).
Drugs, smoking, drinking, eating bad food, all harmless in moderation, and atleast 95% of the population can control themselves in using them recreatively. Ofcourse, it's the 5% that don't that always hit the headlines and the magazines.
Anything and everything is bad for you excessively.
The human body is very durable, and will cope with moderate disturbances and fix itself. In most cases, this slight disturbance will be worth the new experience of doing something different, or trying something new, provided you can control yourself and not RELY on it to live.
THAT'S when addiction becomes and illness because you're slave to something. And Heroin is bad because you don't even feel high until you're addicted and feel the lows for the rest of the time.

Awful lot of assumptions their...

People who take drugs are weak, they have an illness - simple as that. If you need them you need treatment for that.
I personally think anyone who is reliant on putting something into their mouth which they have barely any knowledge of what it contains (ever notice an ingredients list on a pack of ciggies ? Nope) are sad beyond belief. I mean, you can't get through the day without lighting up ? That's like one level below a monkey.
You're paying money to kill yourselves and harming others around you, at the same time as funding several massive corporations which have actively engaged in a massive campaign of deceit and denial for the last 50 years and who have been complicit in the deaths of tens of thousands.
What gets me is that both Goatboy and Light will happily relate various corportations to conflicts, scandal e.t.c. yet remain blinkered to the coroprations involved in cogarettes and in the legal and illegal drug industry. It's double standards and it stinks. I remember Goatboy complaining in one post that the Government barely increases alcohol taxation because it keeps a fair number of people happy to just drink their problems away, yet elsewhere he'l lwant illegal drugs legalising. Again, double standards.
Now if I was to change my name, and offer IB, Goaty and Light the chance to "abuse" it, the either wouldn't be ar*sed or would get bored after five minutes because I'd be no fun to take the mick out of.
Now I'd hate to ruin everyone's fun by telling you this, but if you just accepted other people have opinions and took any mickey taking of yours or theirs in good humour then they wouldn't get at you so much.
Live and let live, chill, find some weed and take up smoking yourself. It'll do you a whole world of good! ;-)
Hmmm...that would seem to make you a coward.
BURN, YOU DRINKIN', SMOKIN COMMIES
"LOL"
*weeps*
Thats the funniest thing i've heard all day. Soon it'll be "You don't know anything because you drink ALCOHOL!!!!1"
"You're so clever, but you smoke!!!!! Have another cancer stick", as well as commenting on my job and my band.
Hence "YOU SMOKE!!eleven" has become an amusing reminder of the level of Bell's abilities when riled.
