Honestly, yes.

Beet never posts anything worthwhile.

Texarkana sometimes had good things to post.

No. I don't want someone who is flat-out putting pornography in their signature, or who admits to paying a prostitute (even if they tip her well) on the forum.

We (sort of) are a family forum, even if we don't act like it. Texarkana's behavior was the exact opposite.

Legality aside, I don't understand why this is such a problem compared to, say, people openly discussing their sexual orientation on the forum, which I find appalling.

No. Modern Beet is a gift from Dave Leip. I want Texarkana back if he promises to stop with the weird signatures though.

No. I can actually stand Beet, even though I can't quite figure out if he's serious or just putting on a persona.

TexArkana was basically Eharding without the overt racism. He would post 100 posts a day sometimes, with little real content.

It's not a problem. A common misconception is this had anything to do with texarkana being banned, when the mods never even mentioned it.

That's tough. Texarkana often had good content I found, but he was just plain weird. And weirdly open about it too boot.

Beet's been trolling a lot lately, but I think I'd pick him.

I remember making a list that I was going to write out like one of those Top 10 YouTube videos to post on AAD of the ten worst Atlas posters ever, but never got around to it. It was like this (this is before Beet got terrible):

10-jerryarkansas
9-coraxion
8-texarkana
7-jfern
6-Gully Foyle
5-TNF
4-krazen
3-Eharding
2-Einzige
1-J. J.

Photos of chubby black women don't constitute pornography, unless I missed something far more explicit.

Also, I didn't expect you to be such a prude when it comes to paid sex.

It's not that I'm a prude, but that this is a family forum (well, at least it's supposed to be) so discussion over when one has actually slept with a prostitute crosses a line for me.

There's stuff that is a million times worse posted every single day in this forum

(FTR I don't think there's anything wrong with posting mildly sexy pictures or having had sex with a prostitute)

Clearly we have lazy mods (other than Virginia, and maybe Torie).

I would not have any problem having TexArkana back here. He's also on AlternateHistory.com, and seems to keep himself in order over there. Moreover, he makes excellent maps and electoral scenarios. So long as he refrained from the sexual innuendos and kept his signature appropriate, I wouldn't have any problem with him returning. However, given how he managed to offend most of the posters here, and given the controversy surrounding some of his opinions, I know that he will never be allowed back here.
