I was surprised the mods banned him.

I think maybe the ''I hope you die of cancer'' may have been the breaking point.

I saw that, but I'm still surprised. I hope they don't ban every user that says stuff like that.

I'm going to guess it wasn't that alone.
I saw some of the stuff he posted on new users. Just plain trolling.

I agree with Socrates about being limited to we can express here. I havent looked for the trolling remarks of 123Guy but nothing harsh comes to mind. He wished death on a dude... we've all had that wished on us time to time. No biggie. You seen some of the crap the new users and some old ones post... I feel it shouldnt be posted but i just shake my head on move on. Im not a Yelper. A sense a humor is needed to enjoy Imgflip but a thick skin is required if you wanna stick around. Meme on! :)

I agree with you but! When I joined IMG what I loved was how helpful everyone was to the new guy, Socrates helped me figure out the ins and outs of memeing along with the help of Invicta103 and I was greatly appreciative of that. Had i joined now with the likes of 123guy harassing me about ending my sentences with periods and don't use this and that, I would have been WTF is this place? I would have stuck around for sure but my experience definitely would not have been as good as it was. Sure we can use the excuse that its a web site and trolls and the likes are to be expected, but I say no. The net is not an excuse to be an jerk and spread jerkiness amongst the new and old memebers alike. Yes i like... no I love the fact that we have free speech and can say what we want, and we all can have our own opinions and can express that. Sure he was expressing his right to be a jerk (In my opinion) but again that's not why I love IMG and the people here. Most Of the memebers when I started did not tolerate that kind of behavior or condone it and defend it. Did i hate 123guy...no, did I like what he was doing and how it affected the people of this site new and old... also no.
Humor, I have and would like to think I can catch humor when its given but I did not pick that up from 123guy. As you say though and I fully agree with you on is yes its a meme site and thick skin is required if you want to stick around. Meme on you crazy diamond :)

I thank you all for your enlightening com
