yeah! Shades restricted ldsfaqs, Lem would always ask for leeuniverse to be queued, I’m not sure but I bet you there’s a thread or multiple post asking for subgenius to be queued. If I remember correctly, wasn’t ceeboo queued at some point? It’s always the conservatives! You just want to keep building the ECHO CHAMBER.
Ceeboo was never queued. To my best recollection, LudwigM was not politically conservative. Neither Ajax, Subgenius, or Tobin were ever Queued. But maybe a better question to ask is why are so many conservatives here belligerently defiant of the rules?
Nor have I ever found any suggestion within the mod threads that subgenius should have been queued for any reason.
...It's perfectly okay to disagree with someone, call him or her out on his or her words vs. deeds, present alternate viewpoints to information given, etc. Yet at a certain point, being a contrarian simply for the sake of being a contrarian, even when one is technically ON-topic, counts as "trolling." And trolling is a derailment, if not a "hostile" one by dictionary-definition.
This is what happened to Tobin. He was always on-topic, but his contrarian-ness became not so much to provide the LDS point of view (as he did at the beginning) as it was to distract and annoy the opening poster (in my reasoned opinion). That's why I had to place his posts on the queue. When he noticed this, he departed immediately....
So maybe Tobin left before his posts actually showed up in queue.

Thanks, Marcus. My recollection was that Tobin threw a fit and quit when Shades moved a single one of his posts. But it may have been that he quit in response to Shades placing him on the queue, which happened behind the veil of secrecy. When I get a chance, I'll copy that to the Hadith. I think it's significant precedent that I was unaware of.
he/him we all just have to live through it,
holding each other’s hands.
I vaguely recalled Shades saying something about "tobinesque" and queuing, when I looked I found this:

I am honored to have contributed to the MD Hadith even a small amount with my research efforts.
Here's a fun thing to find out today: subgenius, as damned idiotic as he was, wasn't as bad as our current "conservative" morons.
Remarkable.
It's not the supposed 'conservativeness' of our multiply sock-puppeted obsessive (I think there is only one) that it the problem. I'm happy to see anybody who can express a conservative viewpoint through the presentation of evidence and argument do just that - this is, after all, a discussion board.
The novel feature of this person is that he is determined, at any cost, to disrupt the functioning of this forum by whatever means are open to him. And he appears to be prepared to devote a great deal of time and energy to doing so.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Not only have I denounced the Big Lie, I have denounced the Big lie big lie.

There's no doubt. I put "conservatives" in scare quotes because they only call themselves conservative. It would be more accurate to call these guys thoughtless cultists.

Well, he's a piece of crap. Not only is he a piece of crap, he actually owns and enjoys being a piece of crap. And of course, being a piece of crap, he's the only one who doesn't notice his own stench.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.
I recently decided that since it was clear that there currently is not, and almost certainly never will be, anything useful or interesting to be gained from reading sock <Binger>'s increasingly vacuous posts, he could join sock <AtlanticMike> on ignore.
And you know what? It's nice this way ...

Hey Res! I don’t like the bait you’re using today, reel your line in and try a different bait!
