Please, dear readers, you can help me out. Buy a website domain for me. I need to work on my writings, poems, songs, movies, ideas, stuff to sell, things I'm working on. I want my own website for that. http://www.JoeyArnold.com is what I want. Buy it for me. That would help out a lot. Thanks in advance. Oatmeal Joey Arnold. L4OJ. GYJO. NLG. All Rights Reserved 2011. Forest Grove, Portland, Gresham, Hillsboro, Oregon USA. Animals Are Dying. Websites costs dozens of dollars per year. I may leave TOL alone more if you help me out. I mean, I promise to contribute like only once a week, instead of once a second. I promise to be more translatable in the future. Just help me out somehow. Thanks.

Is this blackmail? Buy me a website or I'll spam TOL continually? Still think he shouldn't be banned, Rusha?
He is serious and being funny about it, another great idea. And at his own expense.
For this, yes, I believe he deserves an *infraction* ... because, to my knowledge, it is a violation of TOL rules to advertise your own website.
But a permanent ban (which is what Chrys was requesting) should be for greater offenses, IMO.
Oh, and BTW, Joey's posting something stupid does not negate the fact that Chrys is a jerk.

That's fair.
I'm not here to defend Chrys. I don't like Chrys. I find his haikus insufferable and his insistence on turning every thread into an ad for the Republican Party, a discussion about free will, or a discussion about abortion really annoys me. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Joey is fond of :spam:ing it up.
I realize that. IMO, Chrys is just as guilty when it comes to spamming and should be held to a higher standard due to being older as well as a long time member of TOL.
Joey is a newbie and still in the process of learning what is and what isn't acceptable.

Falsely?
He wasn't advertizing it, but he was speaking of the domain name he wants/would want. And it makes sense, being his name and all.
POTD Post of the day or year or ever. Again, how can I advertise a website that doesn't even exist? http://www.JoeyArnold.com doesn't exist.
I know. I tried it once people started complaining.
Then why bring it up? TOL is for discussion ... and posts which include asking members to donate money so a person can afford a personal website are NOT welcome.
That kind of inconsideration will get you banned temporarily or possibly permanently.
Just to emphasize (not SPAM), again, I write, in all bold, IN ALL CAPS, to emphasize, not to spam, the question: how can I advertize or advertise http://www.JoeyArnold.com when that domain doesn't even exist?
He actually said he wanted people to buy it for him. It was a joke. But if people would actually put up money he might be serious enough to go through with it. That's how I took it. He is living with his unpopularity and making the most of it. The key idea is how attention works, and he knows what he knows.
It is possible to advertize a website that doesn't exist yet, but, I don't think you even thought this far about it.
And, there is no assurance of getting the exact domain name you want.
TOL is about progress, not about gossip, or talking about the past, about things that don't already exist. People on TOL should be writing about how they want to change tomorrow, not about how upset they are about the past. I am talking about a website that doesn't exist yet because I believe in revolution, in making things better. Those are my goals. Are you sick of my goals? Do you have any goals yourself? Should I make fun of you for talking about goals, things that are yet to be done, that don't even exist yet, until you accomplish those goals?
Should I not plan for tomorrow? Like my website, tomorrow (from our perspective only) doesn't exist yet. Should I give up on breathing. I am an assisting coach at a children basketball program right now each weekend, April & May 2011. Should I forget about being a good example to them? What if this weekend never comes? Should I not talk about this coming weekend? This coming weekend doesn't exist. But this coming weekend helps people. My website doesn't exist either. But it helps people.
We have to appreciate what we do have & take care of it. Talking about unlikable people is like complaining about the bad traffic or bad weather. Just complaining & gossiping about bad things is not going to help enough. Talking about the earthquake near Japan is not enough. Talking about me is not enough, either. You have to appreciate what you do have & learn to take care of that. Encourage people. Appreciate people. Learn to listen to people. How you guys interact or react or proact or communicate or dance or argue or talk to me shows & highlights & personifies & illustrates & emphasizes how you guys may just interact with others out on the street, strangers, the homeless, family, friends, children, the future (that doesn't exist yet, like my website, haha) whoever, & especially people that needs your input, encouragement, discipline, rebuke, shinning light, spark, the gospel, the Lord, and others in the real world. GYJO Get Your Joy On.
I already checked the last several weeks. I was looking at the pricing. The exact domain that I want is available. Asking people to help was no exact joke. It is ok to laugh & I don't mind if you laugh at it. People do think I'm funny. But I was being serious about it. I've trying to get my own website since 2004, which was eight years ago.
Lunalistically, it is possible to advertize a website that is yet to exist. Literally speaking from our perspective, physically speaking, considering the exact details & circumstances, it is literally & physically & simply & somewhat metaphysically & emotionally & mentally & frankly impossible, to some degrees or points of views, to advertise an unguaranteed future.
