Anyway, it’s time to call it a day for Esteban Buttez. The Esteban Buttez character is dead as of now.
— Nice Esteban Buttez (estiebuttez...), Today. (King Esteban)
you will be missed
long live the resistance
but...
Thoughts and prayers.
;_;
LOVE YR GUITAR PLAYING DUDE
Bring back Gangsta Andy Partridge!
Pinochet yesterday, Buttez today. Thatch tomorrow?
where were you buttez-boosters when he needed you on that mod request thread?
I thought it was Nude Spock under the guise of Esteban, b/c everyone seemed to be mentioning Nude Spock a lot.
if you thought it was nude spock why the ;_;?
b/c now I realize it’s not Nude Spock
I thought it was Nude Spock, too, mostly because I didn’t realize that Esteban was actually as much of a troll as he liked to make himself out to be. Dude always seemed pretty harmless to me.
If you want to discuss things with me, Phil, discuss them here rather than on private email please. I have no wish to enter into an off-list discussion with you.
To answer your questions. I have nothing personal against you. As I sort of said upthread, I don’t care about you. Please understand this. I don’t care about you. You’re just some weird kid who lives thousands of miles away, why should I care about you? Quite possibly IRL you’re a nice guy. How would I, or anyone who doesn’t post on the aus/nz region thread ever know? I have not been uncivil to you on this thread, as far as I can see. I described you as acting like a dick, which you have been, fairly consistently.
The last time I had to use admin actions against you is as good an example as any to illustrate this. You started a thread on ILE—a racist screed, with Geir’s name attached on the end of it. I deleted it. What the fuck else am I supposed to do? It’s not OK to impersonate other posters generally, and especially not to post offensive material. So as soon as I deleted it, you post up another thread—an antisemitic screed with my username attached, so I deleted that as well, so you then post up an obnoxious, bleating complaint thread, which I also deleted. At that point I IP banned you, even though I knew you’d be back on with another proxy in 10 minutes or less. You get back on, and start crowing about it on 1p3, as if using a proxy is difficult or something. I post up that it’s not OK to impersonate other posters, your response is “I am a beloved forum comedy character, I can do whatever I want”.
You have done shit like this over and over and over again. You post goatse in the middle of an ILM thread, it gets deleted, you know it’s going to get deleted and you know why, nevertheless, you then spew out a load of bile, about it—Matt DC is a “dumb cunt”, steve m is a nazi, I’m a nazi, whatever. Someone posts up something libelous, so it gets deleted. Obviously it’s going to get deleted, IRL people have been fucked over in court for having libelous material on their message boards. What do you do? You post it up all over the place, thenwhen it gets deleted, you freak out about it, nazis, hitler, dumb cunts etc etc.
On top of that there’s the constant sniping. I read the board over the last week, and in just about every thread I open, there’s you, sniping at southall, passatino, carlin, kate saint claire’s band, gooblar’s band and so on. It’s like a dog marking its territory by pissing everywhere. It’s a pain in the ass for people, they don’t want to read this shit, and they certainly don’t want to read it all the time.
You describe youself as a part-time troll, yet the only place you consistently treat people with any decency and respect is on the aus/nz thread, outside of that thread, I’d estimate that about 7/8 of what I read w/your username attached is sniping. Seriously, I see enough personal beefs here, but I don’t see anyone else doing that, except for bato, who gets banned on sight these days anyway.
The problem isn’t me, or matt, or steve or whoever moderating out of control—anyone can look at the mod logs and see how little moderation actually does get done, since the spambots got locked out. The problem is this behaviour:
1/constant, unpleasant petty sniping
2/repeated posting of unacceptable material (libel, porn, putting offensive words into other people’s mouths so to speak)with consequent tantrums when such material is deleted.
What the fuck do you expect to happen when you do this? Your existence does not, as you say, make me so sick that I want you kicked off the boards, the fact that you think I’m a cunt is a matter of total indifference to me, believe me. It basically boils down to what I said upthread:
people should be able to enjoy using the boards without having some idiot constantly sniping at them.

i guess he never wished any of us any specific harm...
where were you buttez-boosters when he needed you on that mod request thread?
— sede vacante (n...), Today. (blueski)
i didn’t think you admins boring jerks were actually going to ax him
or force him into retirement, whatever
who?
oh, he’ll be back. He might have to go off and nurse a knee injury, or maybe he’ll head to Hollywood for a movie or two, but sooner or later, he’ll do a “surprise” run-in during the main event and be back in the action.
he will be missed.
Bring back Gangsta Andy Partridge!
E-40 is alive and well.
estaban isnt going anywhere. he still needs to see the final top blonde poll results.
steve m is a nazi
This is otm
Wait, people actually care about this?
That whole ModReq thread is a great “five phases of death” comedy routine, but it gets kind of ewwww at the depression/acceptance part.
lol, the things I miss now that I’m not reading modreq!
steve m is a nazi
This is otm
right...because i temporarily disrupted your ability to read ile after you did the same for others. get a grip already, hypocrite.
and lfam i find you extremely boring/irritating and jerk-like as well but i don’t go on about it on the boards unless you have a pop at me first.
i’m not sure what you guys are doing here (or me having to read this useless crap every now and then) really.
OMG I need to rebookmark modreq, roffle roffle roffle
Wow, someone’s a ray of fucking sunshine. GOOD nazis do it with style, like Noodles
pobrecito
dan otm.
does that mean you won, forks?
a pyrrhic victory at best
without esteban, we all lose.
I hope you don’t seriously mean that.
estebanned, please come home (for realz)
and stevem i find you extremely boring/irritating and jerk-like as well but i don’t go on about it on the boards unless you have a pop at me first.
who else will say booyah???
i can’t imagine what i won. the otm was just on the needing to bookmark the admin board. and the hilarity.
why does anyone care about this?
and stevem i find you extremely boring/irritating and jerk-like as well but i don’t go on about it on the boards unless you have a pop at me first.
why did you start this thread again?
why don’t we have a NVR 4GET estie pic yet?
I just still can’t understand how EB dropped in quality so precipitously from the early, enigmatic all-caps days. It was like hero to zero in the blink of an eye.
None of us can understand it, Tracer, no one can. *shakes head*
Good thread!
i think some timeout for EB to research on new and more exciting material can only be a good thing.
Esteban’s called Phil?
why does anyone care about this?
That’s what I wanted to know! No one answered me, though. ;_;
why do people who use ilx a lot care about stuff that happens on ilx?
so the original, funny esteban buttez was a different dude from current emo variation, right?
why do people who use ilx a lot care about stuff that happens on ilx?
That’s not an answer!
‘editio princeps’ is phil, for those keeping score.
I’ll give it a shot, Dan. Caring about how the mods and admins handle EB is the same as getting invited to a party, knowing that many of the guests are parents, and wondering whether this is grownups-only or if there are going to be a bunch of screaming, punch-spilling, cake-smearing goblins running around making it impossible to have a real conversation.
I’ve got that carebear with the cupcake on his tummy!

— I am the best lyrocost since Dylan (papiermachealamphibia...), December 12th, 2006.
he e-mailed me asking why he really pisses me off when he is, supposedly, only one of a cast of thousands of quasi-trollers on ILX
(which include my good self).
i’m not interested in a private email discussion about it but i am unsure about the following and wondered if anyone had any suggestions:
1) that there are thousands of people on ILX
2) that there are thousands of people on ILX indulging in ‘quasi-trolling’
3) the definition of ‘quasi-trolling’ and how it differs from trolling
4)what is the actors name from Trading Places, who makes the joke about the escargot?
zinging is quasi-trolling
It’s all the Spice Girls’ fault then.
I thought EB had made a comeback on the Roots thread on ILM, but it looks like Ethan faffing about again.
Fucking WHAT? Get off this thread and start talking about things that are interesting, all of you. THIS is why the board has been slow for days now? Feh.
ILX—where everybody shares the same idea of what is interesting and what is worth caring/talking about.
Laurel OTFM.
that was an interesting post what “Laurel” posted there as a post
LOOK AT THE ESS-CAR-GO!! HAHAHA
Get off this thread and start talking about things that are interesting, all of you. THIS is why the board has been slow for days now? Feh.
I don’t think there’s anyone SOLELY posting on Esteban threads, is there?
Is “faffing” for real something people say? What a hilarious word.
Ailsa, mostly I am bored and wish things were moving a little faster on other topics. I am just pretending that this is the fault of pointless nit-picking on this thread, which I suppose it could be, but eh.
i love threads like this!
I say “faffing” a lot. Is it just a Scottish thing?
laurel, it is indeed possible that sandbox traffic is slow because of all the fussin and a-feudin
i love threads like this!
why?
carwreck.jpg
People faff in England too, definitely.
“Faffing In England” (Esteban RIP Bubblecrunk Edit)—ILE Massiv
I do fuckloads of faffing, but never actually say it. It’s a good balance.
Esteban = zzz
His being banned = zzz, but welcome.
Esteban is worthwhile if only for his half assed zings of Dom and Forks which serve to move the meta-humor engine that is ILX forward.
ILX needs a humourectomy.
I think this sums up my feelings on Esteban: http://www.eskimo.com/~ciscoe/archive/spider.html
he actually named me on his myspace. thought that was odd.
link plz
How do I attract Estebans to my garden?

WHA! TEH SANDWHICH KILLER MURKED ESTEBAN?!?
I thought Esteban had mellowed out lately, at least on ILE. Still, it is interesting how his trajectory was quite similar to that of Calum. I wonder if there is some universal troll behaviour theory to be deduced from here.
his trajectory was quite similar to that of Calum.
How so? If anyone’s the new Calum it’s PEW. (I.e. one-trick pony starting boring, predictable threads)
he actually named me on his myspace. thought that was odd.
You were cutting and pasting from it in every second thread and I had to give props to mah homiez.
I appreciate everyone’s approval of my trollers’ remorse! You’re a bunch of swells!
EVERYONE ENCOURAGED ME!
I am always baffled by these soap-opera type threads.
Remember when Adamrl posted that Calum parody about Billy Idol masturbating you in a dinghy? Good times.
I realize now the way I worded that implies that Billy Idol was masturbating Shakey Mo specifically, which I promise wasn’t the case.
You were cutting and pasting from it in every second thread
this doesn’t make it any less odd phil.
How so? If anyone’s the new Calum it’s PEW
PEW is quite different to Calum from what i can tell. Phil’s behaviour v similar to Calum’s in terms of quickness to and persistence of abuse, starting endless threads to complain about/garner sympathy for his treatment, general inanity, obsession with certain others (e.g. dom in the same way calum targetted ned) and the fact that he could be perfectly civil on the odd occasion (esp. after repeated pwnage).
PEW is totally different from Calum. Instead of endless pseudo-feminist sex fantasy threads its all sub-Jack Black-style “questions” about Rock.
but he keeps it to his own threads right?
I’m not sure but in general I think that’s correct...? I can’t remember if he started that Louie Louie/garage rock thread on ILM, which was the first thread where I really noticed him gettin his troll on.
wtf is pew?
is that some kind of lame ilm troll?
yes.
he likes,, toROck
he is a grand wizard of the rlu rlux rlan
Calum was before my time but...
starting endless threads to complain about/garner sympathy for his treatment
Complain, yes! Garner sympathy, not really.
general inanity
Fuck off (in a civil, non-offensive way).
obsession with certain others (e.g. dom in the same way calum targetted ned)
I think you will find that it’s the other way round, my friend!
and the fact that he could be perfectly civil on the odd occasion (esp. after repeated pwnage).
Yes, but at random times not after mythical “pwnage”.
Steve, as the kids say—“let go!”
do you mind? we’re talking about paul now
sede vacant, do you ever go to bed?
Let go, dudes.
Let go.
BRITISH CITIZEN STILL UP AFTER MIDNIGHT OMG
actually i’m only up because i’m still sorting out gf’s atp photos. talk about under the thumb.
If Esteban turns face and joins the ILM brand will he be able to carry over his Interconintental Championship belt?
Yeah but the United States Champion will need to turn heel and join the Aja/Dante brand, obv.
BRITISH CITIZEN STILL UP AFTER MIDNIGHT OMG
lol, i wuz only messin dude.
