TYLER "The Tyrant!"

Hey everyone! Dont collapse this article, even though it is a huge CoH violation. I want it to stay up so I can see the smackdown Tyler hands out.

It's been nice knowing you, NG. Hate to lose a vine friend to the old "ban stick" but I wouldn't be surprised. Or at the least, I'll see ya in a month, lol.

A "satire" tag and/or adding the word "opinion" at the end of the article title would be a good idea just for @!$%#s and giggles.

? What'd she do ?

? Im confused MrsR. I didnt write this article. Im hoping Tyler has a chance to see it before the community removes it.

Ooops, my bad. I meant to comment to NG -and- to the writer and just totally lost track .....LOL

Note to self: do not talk on phone and type comment at same time.

NG: Yes, there will be a smack down! It will be loud and horrible.

Wintro: Add an "opinion" at the end of your title and a "satire" tag. Just to cover your bases...not that that will help much.

Whew! I was starting to think I had multiple personalities and was the only one that didnt know it! LOL!!

well you do...but we're ok with both of them :)

There's just two!?!

well there's only two that I know of...

ROFLOL!!!

it strike out from behind the veil of MSNBC and shatters those who seek to find an alternative voice.

Who is this TYLER AND WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH UNCHECKED POWER?

Raises hand, is the correct answer to the question the wizard of oz?

Who is this TYLER AND WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH UNCHECKED POWER?

You mean you go on this rant and don't even know who he is? Do some research.

Northern Girl.

Maybe you do have multiple personalities, but that would be beside the point. :))

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler.

Naughty.

Why, twice this month I've seen you collapse comments by people wanting to draw blood and paint pictures. What were you thinking?

Well, that was a little anticlimactic... but still fun all told.

But at least the article is still up, so we don't have to put away the popcorn yet... :)

Tyler, gods do not speak to the supplicants. I was going to spell that differently but I am a nice guy.

Oooo! Can I spell it for you? Please!?!

Well, that was a little anticlimactic

This must be the kind of sadness my husband experiences when he watches a chick fight on TV and they don't rip each others clothes off.

Sheeesh. All reved up and no place to go.

This must be the kind of sadness my husband experiences when he watches a chick fight on TV and they don't rip each others clothes off.

You tell him he is not alone in his grief. I hope you provide much comfort.

northern girl is a smart little thing and cute, too. Thank you, my dear, but we don't want to get you into trouble, now do we?

Ain't this fun? But, for our esteemed author, bad attention is better than none, I suppose. *sigh*

I'm the Director of Community here.

No, no, no. You're the Code of Honor Enforcer. Says so right at the top of the page.

Cool title, too.

well you do...but we're ok with both of them :)

Only two?? All 'good' trolls have atleast four personalities, it appears. :) That way if one gets banned, they can fall back on the other three they established early on. lol

I do believe that Tyler and Sally want to be 'fair,' not preferential to 'sides.' It would seem that the proper context would be difficult to catch in 'every' comment, leaving the 'baiter' to go free instead of receiving equal punishment. ...I guess that's what happens in real-life, as well; many of us might exceed the speed limit sometimes - but only a few of us get caught.

Well, some people are master baiters and it's a sticky problem to catch them. :)

LOL... smart of Tyler and Sally to have washed their hands of them. :P

Shut up all of you! Did you not just hear the guy call Sally out as his homegirl?

Forget the whining. Details. I want details.

I'm with magz on this one.
We want details!
lmao

And video with audio in HD, please.

and 3D?

magz, Abby, grump and Tam!

We want details!

Well, I've met both homegirl Sally AND Tyler, and I ain't talkin'!

In person, in the flesh and spent the whole weekend with 'em.....oh, wait a sec, that didn't come out like I wanted.......but I still ain't talkin'! (Buahahahahahaha!)

(*TERRIFICweekendgrins*!)

Tease!
:P

They keep tellin' me the checks are in the mail.......LoL!

(*patientlywaitinggrins*!)

*smirk*

And ye, Tyler descended from the heaven to reign the banhammer down upon the re-regs, the mouth-foamers and the just plain weirdos, and together with his Prophet Sally, peace came upon the Land of Newsvine through their good works….For about 5 seconds :D

All hail Tyler! lol

Even a child knows when they went to far and have got it coming. I've been spanked by Tyler a few times but I also knew that I was pushing the limits. Tyler is a fair and descent guy. How would y'all like to have to police the crazys that get on Newsvine day in day out? Keep up the good work Tyler and all Newsvine moderators. Cheers!

well if I am gonna get spanked, I would rather it be by sally, but lets not go there. hahahaha

I've gotten spanked by Tyler too...but I asked for it...and he was wearing this leather outfit...mmmm...good times

a girl who is a friend to the end no matter what goes down you know SHE GOT YOUR BACK

This goes for guys too and anyone having these types in their lives are blessed.

We're blessed to have you, Tyler, and Sally, as our Homies!

you mean like this kind of Homie?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homey_the_Clown#H

Tyler, I was going to quote the UD definition the other day - it says 'it' very well and accurately - a true friend.

belle - LOL..

You tell him he is not alone in his grief. I hope you provide much comfort.

I feel his pain as well

Tyler

I'm a Viner, too [which is why I bristle mildly at you saying I 'berate' other users. I take great care to not attack anyone personally.]

I have never seen Tyler berate or rebuke anyone; however, I am not an avid Viner as I work long hours. I am also under the belief that on “hot topics” disparaging others because of differencing opinions is only a reflection on the one doing the belittling.

This guy has been a NV member for 2 months.

He doesn't seem to have a clue how the site is run or what the CoH is all about, and this "article" reflects that.

He also didn't respond to not one comment made on this article, maybe because he doesn't know how to.

Seems a whole lot of to do about nothing to me for criticism offered by a NV novice!

This must be the kind of sadness my husband experiences when he watches a chick fight on TV and they don't rip each others clothes off.

Man o man o man....I'm sorry I missed the start of THIS thread. Biggest grins I've had all day! (((VINERS)))

Tells me Im gonna sit back and watch the train wreck! ;)

I smell pterodactyl poo all over this....

well considering that Tyler is technically a Vine member and not a public figure, the article in and of itself is an attack and violation of the CoH

He's right! tyler never pays any attention to me. Once, I think...One time! Do I have to have a tantrum to get some respect? Occupy Newsvine HQ!

magz

I guess running aroud naked and screaming "I'm a duck" is getting to be old news now. :)

.

Nope, there's no swear words in the rant...

If there's no cursing, it ain't Jack... :)

I got a one-day suspension once.

Neener, neener, neener.

LOL

I am not a duck.

AFLAC.

Oh That Tyler Guy, now who is he again? LOL

I love Tyler and think he does a righteously good job trying keep the volume of angst down to a comfortable level. We all get out of hand once in a while and if someone comes along pulls our ears and puts us in time out, I'm good.

...unless you're Ferengi and "pulling on ears" is a sexual turn on

I wonder why our esteemed author has not come by to visit? I am confused.

Grump,

Would you wanna show your face right now if you were him/her?

Lmao

I wonder if we have been 'rickrolled' and that the poster is actually just a left winger in disguise.

and that the poster is actually just a left winger in disguise.

In this one's case, Jonathan, it appears it doesn't really matter.

ROFL!

the whole thing is really just a joke in my mind, hey we first had tony the tiger, now we have tyler the tyrant. hahahaha

As for the poster, it seems really strange with all the right wing articles and having only two left wingers (man I do hate using the term left and right winger because it really doesn't mean much anymore) in his friends list.

northern girl, If he had the huevos to make the post, he should have the huevos to come by. Maybe he should grow a couple.

Oh. Wow. I just had an idea. What if Sally faked this whole thing just to mess with Tyler? It could happen.

Hee hee hee
:D

I love a good conspiracy theory Grump!

Yea, I saw that too, yesterday when I checked out his column. First thing I did when I got here, right after wiping the torrent of tears away from laughing so hard. Probably out wandering around looking for more of America's tyrants again.....ROFL!

I guess he must have skipped over #4 in the CoH......

I'm beginning to think rereg.....can't quite put my finger on it, but......

oh I thought rereg right away, now I am thinking satire.

Maybe even tyler himself, he is pushing a huge joke on us. hahahaha

Ha ha Jonathan! Great call!!!!

It do make me wonder. My finger would point at Sally as the culprit. She is ornery, I think.

maybe sally, after all she was apparently the one who passed this on to tyler. :))

Yea, methinks you're right, most likely a rereg.

But nah, Tyler wouldn't do that, not a chance. He'd come up with something much more delightfully salacious for his sense of humor to grist upon than that pout up there! LOL!

Besides, he's much too busy tyranting! BAhahahahahahaha!

(*sarc/grins*!)

Sally passed it on to Tyler because I reported the article as a possible CoH violation. She was nice enough to email me and let me know she passed it along to him :)

yeah but you have to admit, this is almost jon stewart like in its comedy, except without the editorial staff that stewart has in selecting the material.

Definitely funny.

But Sally? Folks criticize her, of course as is their wont, but those people have never met her. Period. Same for Tyler as well. I wish there were a way every single member could do a meet-n-greet with both of 'em. I really do. I get a charge every time I read the "criticisms", especially the ones from the political bent, from either side of the spectrum. I've yet to see one, from anyone, who I believe could substantiate their own favorite flavor of the month be credible, if they had the opportunity to sit down and met them, before they usually open mouths and insert feet.

And that said, I tend to think, for those who would still be so utterly "intractable", I daresay probably would have other Vine issues that would probably be better needing tending anyway, (usually long before Sally or Tyler get involved) by their own circumspection alone, not to mention getting themselves into their own hot water, usually boiled up by their own doing. Then Enter Sally and Tyler! LOL!

And I'll of course be bettin' dollars to good ol' fashioned donuts that's what we have here.

However this miracle happened we've been begging for some comic relief and here it is customized for our enjoyment.

js, this is hilarious.

I don't really believe Sally set this up just to get to Tyler as I commented in 4.18. I was just making a little joke and hoping to lure some conspiracy theorists out of the goo. I tend to side with Augur on this one, actually.

But, at least our esteemed author is getting a handy little list of who his fans really are.

Aw, no frettin' allowed, grump! We all know it's just jest-fest! I just get off on my mini-rants now and then when it comes to Sally and Tyler because I had the terrific opportunity to meet-n-greet with them and get to know them. They're two really terrific folks. I had positive opinions of them even before we met, and that was only re-enforced and infinitely cemented once we did.

(*fortunategrins*!)

Maybe Tyler created this himself to see how many times it gets voted up the vine.

Cool.

Exactly.

ROFL! Good one! I gotta remember that one!

(*absolutepowergrins*!)

Why no author visit? Maybe it's all for the money; you all fell for it.

lol. Really? The money?

This user has been here for about three months. Four articles, with such stellar titles as "OBAMA YO MOMMA, NOW!," and no seeds. He's probably not here because he's almost never here.

Thank you, Dennis, you beat me to it.

And, Good Morning!

Good morning, Augur.

:)

#4.29: But Sally? Folks criticize her, of course as is their wont, but those people have never met her. Period. Same for Tyler as well. I wish there were a way every single member could do a meet-n-greet with both of 'em. I really do.

Same here. They are both the dearest young folks it has ever been my pleasure to know. They do not wander the vine, willy-nilly, with a scatter-gun. Their jobs are to enforce the CoH and UA, and they do it darned well, considering the sheer volume of nastiness they are up against.

If they deserve anything, it is thanks from the entire Newsvine community, because they both understand what it means to have class. They have it. In spades.

Oh, yeah, before I forget: they are both very literate. I am always amazed that there are those few who can barely spell words of a single syllable who nonetheless feel free to cast aspersions on others. I'm not particularly religious, but isn't there a thing about "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?"

I hope this "article" is allowed to stand, if only because the contrast between complainer and enforcers is so sharp!

Ditto!

oh come on bitemore, don't you think it is better if the two of them put the fear of god into everyone, keep em on edge?

hmmm after saying that, next thing you know there will be grandiose stories about them shooting blue flames out of their arses lol.

#4.45: don't you think it is better if the two of them put the fear of god into everyone, keep em on edge?

Actually, if people would fear and respect the CoH and UA, then they'd have nothing to fear from Sally and Tyler, who have an utterly thankless job but who do it well, given the circumstances.

As for the blue flames, well... they're both quite athletic, but not even they can do that. At least, not that I have witnessed.

:-)

well not unless they are in college doing a frat prank. :))

As for the blue flames, well... they're both quite athletic, but not even they can do that.

But Tyler's pterodactyl can.

Maybe he's riding a Tyrantosaurus now?

ouch.

I smell pterodactyl poo all over this....

LOL Now that is what I call a seasoned individual!

Actually, if people would fear and respect the CoH and UA, then they'd have nothing to fear from Sally and Tyler,

That was reregmarkable, TO :P

Got any links to back this up?

You're kidding right? There have been more than a few past articles about the moderation styles of the "official" mods of the vine with a plethora of examples linked in them. You've even commented on them yourself, if I recall correctly.

You've been around long enough to remember them.

Confirmation bias.

I've got links to 11900+ bans/suspensions.

Show me one (or several) that you think are unfair.

I'll show you why they're not.

All I said is there have been more than a few articles done on this topic already and you are well aware of it. So to ask:

Got any links to back this up?

is kind of silly since you have been on those articles yourself. Go read them, view the links on them. There you will find more than enough "links to back this up" to your little heart's desire.

I'll show you why they're not.

And...of course you'll discredit any and all links showing blatant unfair moderation because usually that moderation tends to flow towards a particular side of the vine. A side which...as it just so happens....is opposite of your own views, so it's not going to surprise me, or several others, at all for you to praise certain moderations with cheers and applause galore.

I've no intention of getting into a silly back and forth with you because we BOTH know of what prior articles I speak.

there have been more than a few articles done on this topic already

And that proves what exactly? I can find tons of articles that say the holocaust never happened--that doesn't make it true.

It only takes a few months if your active and read a lot of different articles, etc, believe me.

he is the cheese?

http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/songs/childrens/farmermid.htm

Why does the cheese stand alone? Is it limburger?

I never thought of that Barb. That game was always a popularity contest anyhow

LOL! I love that. voted up for fun factor.

I'm going for suck up points, don't you know? I may need them some day.

I'm going for suck up points

I'm REALLY tempted...but I'll let that one go (this time) :P

belle, it would be a CoH violation for you not to let it go. Ah, ha!!!

aww...but I was going to give you something to suck of mine... :)

My dogs like dirty socks. ;-P

well...wasn't socks...think further up the anatomy :)

Corgis are short.

*grump begins looking around for his running shoes*

Besides, it wouldn't really count if I wasn't sucking up to Tyler and Sally, now would it? I have my pride and I know which basket Tyler and Sally carry my eggs in.

the one I've been holding for the impending trip to hell?

YOU have my basket of eggs? Ok, Tyler and Sally, why did you give my basket of suck up eggs to belle? I have been laying suck up eggs all over the vine for the last month or so. To belle, of all people?

0-:)

I'm just that good of a Disney princess -- plus I promised Sally some private time with Lumiere and Tyler always beats Beast in their weekly poker games :)

Ok, belle. You can hold on to my eggs - if you must. Just be most careful and don't tell anybody.

Oh, wow. Look at that. I got 12 up arrows (or whatever those are called). Folks must like my dancing and singing and rose petal throwing and are dancing, singing and throwing petals with me. Ain't life grand??!!

Aside the off-topic rants, isn't grave-dancing against CoH?

Aside the off-topic rants, isn't grave-dancing against CoH?

Nope. Once someone has been banned, (s)he is no longer a NV member and is open for discussion, and/or terpsichorean revelry.

I propose that anticipatory terpsichorean revelry should be. Though I'd like to join.

Damn. I had to look that up.

terpsichorean revelry.

terpsichorean reregvelry.

Fixed that for ya, VB ;-)

terpsichorean reregvelry.

lol

grump in NM

Tyler is as a god who wears a goofy hat. Sally is as a goddess with a beautiful tattoo. Both are beings of humor, love, kindness and compassion. *dancing about, cha cha cha, throwing rose petals everywhere*

I would rather have Tyler and Sally as moderators than WINTROPEMERRIDETH, THE III. *more rose petal throwing and more dancing and la la la*

grump, you may throw the rose petals. I'll stay by their dais with palm leaf fans on stand-by with the platters of grapes and figs and cheetos and fruity alcoholic beverages with cute little umbrellas against the possibility of either of them getting even the slightest bit uncomfortable.

No, gremlin. You are over there just to eat all the dainties. Leave me the figs and some cheese to go with the figs. I love figs. By the way, nice party isn't it?

cheetos...but no Mountain Dew? *casting Magic Missile at the darkness*

Actually grump - I serve the dainties because I like to MAKE the dainties. :) Getting geared up for the holidays with things like Pumpkin Creme Pie, Blue-berry Pomegranate Creme Pie topped with strawberries, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin cookies, Sweet Potato Pie - I make an absolutely delish Fig & Olive Tapanade which goes splendidly over warm cream cheese. But I seldom eat even half the goodies - can't be greedy - those are for Their Majesties Tyler & Sally.

And this is an absolutely delightful party! I know I'm enjoying myself quite thoroughly.

belle - *cowers and deflects with Shiny Silver Serving Tray* The Mountain Dew is on the end table at the edge of the dais.

hey lilgremlin -- roll the dice to see if I'm getting drunk!!

NAT-TWENTY!!!

And for your next drink?

I don't know...but do you need to use this ogre-slaying knife? it's got a +9 against ogres

My favorite on the table is to cut a fig in half and put a slice of your fav cheese and have some wine or espresso to drink. Oh, oh, oh. Sweet potato pie. I am so very simple to please.

Mountain Dew. Ick. Respectable people or princesses do not drink MD, belle.

but do you need to use this ogre-slaying knife?

Damnit, Now I want to skip work, go home and play Skyrim some more.

gah! grump and lilgremlin seem not to know about Dead Alewives and their Dungeons and Dragons skits :(

Try SunDrop, you will throw rocks at Mountain Dew.

belle, here it is. Yes, I had no idea this existed. How on earth do you accumulate all this stuff in your gorgeous little head? My brain just ain't that big. Very funny, indeed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vChEPj0dXXk

:( I am not acquainted with Dead Alewives - but I am with D&D. When we do play, my honey has a tendency to mount any/every monster/large animal the DM sets up. Made for a very interesting evening the time we had the Woodchuck Spring Cider with the spring flower essences in it (not brewed just right said flowers have semi-psychotropic properties) while gaming.

My favorite on the table is to cut a fig in half and put a slice of your fav cheese and have some wine or espresso to drink. Oh, oh, oh. Sweet potato pie. I am so very simple to please.

OOoh the figs with some nice warm goat cheese!! And for the simple tastes may I recommend the chocolate/peanut butter frozen pudding pie?? Its absolutely delish and sooo easy to make. :)

gremlin, your h-uuu-nnnn-eeeee has sex with the monsters? (Connie Francis and Twitty reference)

I was in Spain late in the summer and the figs ripened on the trees. I stood out by the road and ate fig after fig. I tend to encounter road block when I travel and it turned out most wonderful. I am reminded of that song with the line the "earth moved under my feet"--it was that great.

grump & belle - BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's hysterical.

*looks at belle* can I interest you in some tavern male wenches?

grump - I thought that too the first time I heard him say that. I can't clean up the visual any but he has been known to ride all sorts of things during combat.

That sounds like a lovely time btw. :)

rofl -- works for me gremlin! and why aren't you blue?

and grump -- I'm not fun watching Jeopardy in a group either...they make me wait 3-5 seconds before answering. My brain works in VERY weird ways, hence my odd tangents :P

belle - I think you look better in blue :)

And may I recommend the brunette male wench named Zoot this evening? I understand he's in need of a bit of a spanking. (sorry can't link the Castle Anthrax video from my tablet & I can't get to my computer at the moment.)

Nice alliteration, though.

coming soon to a movie theater near you "Tyler the Tyrant'

Yes, but who could play him to portray this tyranny adequately... hmmm...

Oh that's easy...Alan Rickman :)

"Locksley! I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!"

that...and Snape...and Judge Turpin...and Marvin the Paranoid Android...and Dr Lazarus...and and and!!!

I would go with Samuel Jackson to play "Tyler the Tyrant".

" I am sick and tired of all these snakes re-regs on the plane vine!"

that's not tyranny as much being pissed off...MAYBE if you include Pulp Fiction though...

well if you want a psychopath tyrant, then kevin spacey. hehehe

Wouldn't that be Sally the Siren?

she's the one who forwarded the article to him :)

ha. With a picture of Ceaser.

Tyler is going to have to take Sally out to lunch as a bribe to get her to stop talkin' smack.

"What kind of wine would you like with lunch?", asks Tyler.

"Oh, I don't know, my powered up buddy Tyler, just as long as it is the most expensive thing on the wine list," she replies.

*snicker*

You know sometimes we need a good laugh...this article isn't one of them, but the comments rate a 10!

The responses really are a hoot!
:D

We has an article put up, a couple of years ago I think, that belonged to a new guy. The whole article consisted of "This is my first article." It became a playground and went on for hundreds of comments, and we never saw him again. It was fun, much like this one.

Yeah, I remember that. I'm pretty sure it was his last article too.

oh no, the better one was Calvin. The name of the article was "test" and the text was "abc" -- yeah we went EVERYWHERE on that article and none of it was off topic because there WAS no topic!!

Lance publishes a lot of those. They start weird, and get really weird.

Those were fun, belle. Calvin's personality was great because he was flexible, yet serious when he needed to be with those type of articles. He truly seemed to be all about wanting to make things work for a wide variety of personalities and interests.

Tyler has some of those articles too (like the one about Nigel Tufnel day on 11/11/11), but unfortunately they are fewer and further between :(

That's great JJ. I'm continually confused about anyone staying where they think it is the wrong place for them. Oh wait, they don't think it is the wrong place for them, they just want to get rid of anyone that doesn't agree with them.

Ahhh HaHAh hahahag!!!!!

BH!!!!
*hugs*
It's good to see you, mate!
:D

I was making reference to the, "Suicide by cop," ambiance of the piece. Perhaps some folks can't leave without being thrown out.

I find Tyler and Sally to be two very talented, sincere, diligent, fair, overworked and underpaid people.

Peace and Blessings. Enoch.

Suck up! ;^)

rescue, Don't be giving away my title. I am Sir Grump of Suck Up.

Sorry, Grump

What was I thinking of. *palm to forehead*

Don't have to if it's in not-news...which it apparently isn't.

Oh, is that how that works? OK, thanks.

I'd have to leave the Vine..

I think some of laughed too much, Paul, and now have damp pants to contend with.

I honestly don't see how anybody could take this article seriously.
I hope it was a comedy skit, because it certainly comes across as one!
*giggle*

It reminds me of our "April Fool's Day" satire articles. Great laughs.

Well, we are all having a bit of fun and meeting new friends.

Ok, maybe a bit of a stretch, with apologies to Prince (the song writer) and Chaka Khan (the singer, ole thunder thighs herself).

Ouch. That is quite a power check there Johnathan. We could have done without the stretching part. Ouch.

I do like the song, hence it popped up in my mind. :P

Who is this TYLER AND WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH UNCHECKED POWER?

Because he's the New and Improved Tyler! Now with 30% more Unchecked Power!

That's what happens when you hook up a cattle prod to the Power Meter.

I'm more concerned about how he is more efficiently generating or consuming that power. After all, we need a greener world.

Because he's the New and Improved Tyler! Now with 30% more Unchecked Power!

Maybe he's tracking from a cattle drive, you know how much energy there is in cow methane! That's not really "green" but what the cows eat usually is. Does this count?

I'm more concerned about how he is more efficiently generating or consuming that power. After all, we need a greener world.

He uses wind energy

Good one!
