Anyone got an obit link? As many others have said, he was a racist dickwad and while I don't celebrate the death of anyone, I don't think his shtick was an act.
***OFFICAIL*** RIP Ommy

He was a cancer to all message boards. Unfortunately, even though the main tumor has been removed, the cancer has spread.

Clint here.
Sorry for pointing out the hypocrisy of giving a **** about a couple jokes made at the expense of a internet troll memorial thread. Next time I'll just let you guys keep being idiots

Normal people when they hear about Hitler dying:
"Thank God the world is rid of that guy."
CCS:
"Somebody loved him. You shouldn't speak ill of the dead."

Not sure what you mean by you guys. I did not post in this thread before my response to you and I simply noted the irony of you complaining about hypocrisy by exhibiting hypocrisy.
There is a reason I responded to you and no one else as only you brought up an instance of someone making fun of someone's death to justify people making fun of someone's death. Never said you cant make fun. I was commenting on you doing the very thing you seemed to be chastising. That's it.

Not sure Godwin is the right approach here as not aware of any murders or genocide committed in the real world by Ommy.
I think perhaps some of you have lost perspective and take the internet too seriously if you are comparing an internet troll to the guy responsible for the genocide of tens of millions of people.

You are suggesting some taking issue with shitting on an internet troll who none of us are aware of any crimes alleged is akin to someone celebrating a war criminal and genocidal mass murderer.

I'm not suggesting that anyone would be celebrating Hitler. I'm not suggesting anyone is celebrating Omelet. I'm saying assholes are assholes, and giving phony "RIPs" like what has been going on itt are not worth anything.You are suggesting some taking issue with shitting on an internet troll who none of us are aware of any crimes alleged is akin to someone celebrating a war criminal and genocidal mass murderer.

I'm going to disagree not because I want to participate in judging a CCS poster after his (reported) death but because I do not believe the board is moderated appropriately at times. Ommy was literally calling for a muslim ban in the USA at a time when many people were legitimately concerned the country was sliding toward fascism.
After touring the WWII resistance museum in Amsterdam last week and learning about how within a short time the occupation went from everyone living independently under German rule, to groups of people being required to register, to them being deported to labor or death camps, I don't believe that kind of posting is "harmless," nor should it be tolerated here.

But I did not respond to your comment about phony RIPs.
I responded to your Gowdin violation here. That is a bridge too far IMO. I get it is probably hyperbole on your part but it just diminishes your point once your start invoking Hitler to make a point about a CCS troll.

Interesting that you don't take exception to the Idi Amin post I made.

No I saw it but was already engaged with Clint. So was debating whether I let it go when you doubled down on it with the Hitler reference. The same concept applies to Idi Amin. Think that is obvious.

You and I can assume someone was an asshole based on how they represented themselves on a message board but the fact remains, it's still just a message board and means nothing outside this forum. Is someone more likely to be an asshole outside in the real world if they are on a message board where they are trying to get a rise out of people? Maybe, I wouldn't know. It shows they are not very mature, I can say that.
The bigger point though that I disagree with you on in this thread is about what is acceptable good taste in times like this. What would you do if someone you knew died that you truly thought was evil? Would you storm into the church service and shout out to everyone there about how they should not be there to celebrate the life of a friend or relative that just died? Or would you respectfully decline an invitation to the service and keep quiet? Unless you are an absolute prick, you would do the latter. And that's what I think you should do here. It shows good taste. Just my opinion and you can do whatever you want obviously.
