What happened to tommy?

[ahofle]

He shows as 'guest' now.  Did I miss a really good thread or something?

[AtomSmasher]

He didn't like it when Saint deleted his threads, so he left.   

[JimmyU]

In one hugely ironic moment, tommy's pit bulls attacked and killed him.

[ChadTower]

Does this make me Arcade Controls Enemy #1 again?   

Would that even bother you?  You worked really hard to gain that status.  Intentionally.

[AtomSmasher]

Damn, I didn't think he was all that bad...

I didn't think he was all that bad either, but it was his decision to leave.

[patrickl]

Yeah, it was more that he thought that "we" were all that bad.

[ChadTower]

tommy is harmless.  I don't remember him ever doing anything meanspirited like the crap pinballjim used to do.  I don't remember him having any publicly bad transactions.  The guy is probably having a hard time with something RL at the moment.  I didn't want him gone.

[RayB]

You guys piss me off too. But I just go away for a couple weeks then get SUCKED BACK IN!
 

[ChadTower]

That's a symptom of the RayBies.  Fits of Rayge.

[Goz]

Damn, I didn't think he was all that bad... but I never got the impression that the guy had even seen an arcade game before....

Naw TxtWorld and Genesim are higher on the wanted list.

[mr.Curmudgeon]

If you say his name one more time, I think he comes back from the dead. So, stop it!

[hypernova]

Three choices:

A:  Pit bulls, as JimmyU mentioned.

B:  Wal-Mart got him

C:  He knew the Giants would lose, and preemptively left.

[koolmoecraig]

I do think it is a rather dignified way to exit.

This way he wont have to deal with the extreme ripping he'll receive after the Super Bowl.

On the flip side, we won't have to deal with the gloating if the Giants pull the upset.

[shardian]

Well he did sell glass for arcades, so I guess he did do arcade stuff at some point. As Sam says in Burn Notice, "You know Tommies, A bunch of bitchy little girls."

That was a seriously pathetic way to leave. It wasn't the first time he whined and moaned because something didn't go his way. The last time I dealt with something like that was when I was 10 dealing with a spoiled brat down the street.

[Jouster]

Wow...I don't know whether to be happy, sad or...oh, is that a cookie???

What were we talking about again?

There once was a fellow named Tommy,
Who heard that we called him a commie.
His response was, "I bore 'em,
So who needs the forum?
I think I'll go home to my mommy!"

Hey, this looks like fun...

There once was a fellow named Chad,
Whose stories made everyone sad.
After a recent encounter,
He said "So what? I'm a downer!
I enjoy it and that ain't half bad."

A testament to my lovely wife's mad cooking skillz:

There once was a man who loved cake
Whose wife would no longer bake.
Said he, "Take this brick
And spread icing on thick.
No one will tell it is fake!"

Nice!  I'm too lazy right now to come back with a verse.  Ed wins!

I once saw a poem by Ed
I have no idea what he said
His words were bereft
I got up and left
And never returned to the thread

You still lose.

Probably.  Mine has way better structure, though.

So not only are byoacers top notch cab builders but they are also talented poets.

[Malenko]

I wondered what happened to him, but I didn't really care enough to make a thread about it. I guess now I can hope the giants win because I hate the patriots and not have to read his gloating.  I'd take 2 tommys over a genesism anyday, hell I'd take a chad and a half over a genesism, so its not really saying much

That's actually the BYOAC spread on the Super Bowl now that tommy is gone - a chad and a half.  The over/under is shmokes.

In all honesty, I was hoping there was a really entertaining pitbull type thread that I missed.

[Goz]

Idiot mauled by pet pitbull News at 11........

[HaRuMaN]

Hehe, that's was I was thinking..

[ChadTower]

tommy was right about one thing... it's never the owner that gets mauled.  It's always a kid from down the street or some random pedestrian.  tommy will be fine.

[knave]

One day this forum turned lame.
All of the threads were the same.
People came here to whine.
And act just like swine.
I wish they would talk about Mame.

[hypernova]

There was a recent story just less than a month ago where the owner was killed by their pitbull.

[MameMaster!]

I miss Tommy. 

[markrvp]

I miss Tommy. 

Kind of like you miss your syphilis?

[arcadefever]

Tommy, come back and let's talk about that game !

Giants 

[DrewKaree]

He didn't like it when Saint deleted his threads, so he left.   

No he didn't.  Much like everything else about Tommy, he has no basis for his decisions other than his emotions - usually his hot-headed temper and inability to reason things through or grasp logic.

An honorable person (i.e. not a whiny ---smurfette--- when he doesn't get his way) would have stood by his decision and his claim that he didn't agree with what was going on here and (by his own choice) deleted his account, never to return, as he felt so "targeted".

Instead, our resident sap simply created another account with a different name because he truly doesn't believe the crap he spews and couldn't exercise self-control over his own actions (much like his driving and retarded views on pit bulls), and figured he'd make it similar enough to another member that his idiotic point would be put forth subtly with every post.  Since it's TOMMY we're talking about, he's thicker than a concrete wall, and too dense to grasp the point Saint laid out for him before he took the coward's way out and deleted his account in a fit of rage because he ran out of Midol and wrecked his favorite dress in the process, so his new persona only serves to demonstrate how obtuse he truly is, even when things are explained to him without using "the big people's words".

Tommy, you're an idiot.  While everyone else might welcome you back, I'm asking you why you aren't an honorable man that doesn't have the credibility to back up your actions as you've claimed you were going to, and instead, have taken the path you're now on.  Nice move coward.  No wonder you've got a pit bull.  It makes you feel like the man you wished you could one day become.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

I guess you guys think I'm this guy, but I can't imagine a person "liking" his threads being deleted. If we are to spend time here and get censored and have our threads deleted what is the point in posting at all?

Move on already, let tommy go in peace. This is not very nice being attacked as a new member. 

[Jerry Seinfeld]

Tommy, you're an idiot.  While everyone else might welcome you back, I'm asking you why you aren't an honorable man that doesn't have the credibility to back up your actions as you've claimed you were going to,

Judging by your comments I have no doubt why he left. You're an abusive person who goes around name calling on a forum to make yourself feel better.

If you ask me, I think he left to get the wrong ideas out of the tommy name and start fresh with no reputation on the forum.

You all want him back, you all need him back, to tell it like it is. Maybe you will get your wish.

[Chris G]

CHEFFO LOVES SEINFELD!

[ahofle]

LOL congrats on being the first "new" member to find and make their first posts in EE.

When people start their thread with flame bait then they can expect their thread to be deleted. They can whine like a baby how other people are wrongly flaming, but the guy who posts the bait is ultimately the one who starts it. People who start a flame war and then whine about getting flamed shouldn't be on a forum.

BTW a more suitable nickname for Tommy would be George Costanza or maybe even Frank Costanza. Both losers with too much rage and not enough common sense

That should be a new thread....Which dysfunctional Seinfeld character is Tommy?

I'll vote for Jerry's girlfriend Dolores... He couldn't remember her name only that it rhymed with w/ a body part.

 

[ChadTower]

I had been sad tommy left and uncomfortable with the way several members kicked him in the ass on the way out the door.  I wasn't completely innocent in that but there were some guys that were screaming jump while he was on a ledge. 

Now that he's back, under a new name, claiming not to be tommy, but only posting in threads specific to tommy and only talking about tommy, I have lost what respect I did have for the guy.  He's acting like a cheesed off 6 year old.

tommy, have saint restore your account.  Man up to having lost your composure and done something embarrassing or go the eff away.  Stop being a ---smurfette---.

Keep in mind that "jerry" could be someone else looking to have a little fun.  Cheffo could pull some believeable stuff out of the tommyism generator with his eyes closed.

It's possible but I'd like to think there isn't anyone here with that much spare time and that little life.  What a flaming waste of time on Earth that would be.

[AtomSmasher]

Hehe, I was thinking the same thing.  At first I didn't think it was Tommy, but just another new member with a similar style as him.  Then I noticed that he hasn't posted one arcade related thought or question (okay, there is one, he said good job to someone in PA.  I'm not sure if that counts though.)  New members join this board because they are interested in arcade cabinets, so when a brand new member focuses pretty much all of his time in EE and PnR, I get extremely suspicious that they are not a new member, but just a new name for an old member.

The absolute dead giveaway was the Madden '08 roster thread...

You could duplicate 95% of his posting personality with a simple bot.  Tommy would fail a turing test.

And in any case Jerry hasn't posted with anywhere near the frequency tommy would.  Come to think of it, it seems your post frequency has gone down slightly.  And we've never seen the two of you in the same room...

[ChadTower]

So am I Jerry or Tommy in that theory?

[Hoopz]

Yes, calling someone a liar there confirmed it.

[CheffoJeffo]

All my hard work gone to waste ... and let the record show that I kicked him well in advance of the way out.

No, Jerry Seinfeld is not me posting tommyisms -- there is nothing funny in those posts (first clue ?).

The posts so far are all on the whiny side and spend too much time defending someone that Jerry supposedly doesn't know.

And it really IS strange that Jerry posts almost exclusively in EE, requested PnR access right off the bat and ran off calling folks liars out of the gate.

* CheffoJeffo queues the restoration job for tommyisms.mdf in preparation ...

Tommy was a ---meecrob---.  Jerry IS a ---meecrob---.  ---fudgesicle--- off already.
