Elsewhere: TWoP Bayliss

It's that time of the month again, when TWoP's Jacob comes flying into the AI forum hell bent on parading his mod status by lecturing and berating posters over at TWoP. Jacob, aka TWoP Bayliss, has rechristened himself so that he can double the asshole behavior without having to double the effort... that's just lazy if you ask me. Here's the current edict:

So, to review. The topic of this thread is the episode that took place on Wednesday. The topic is not:

How we all should define the word "American." That leads nowhere good, you've already been asked to knock it off, and it's gross. It's gross behavior, it's a tacky conversation, and there's no response that's also on-topic, so drop it.

The etymology of the words "ethnicity," "race," or "nationality," the linguistic hairsplitting that obtains thereabouts, and why our fellow posters are thus terrible people.

Single Mothers: fact or fiction? (Related: Where Fantasia's babies come from.)

How many different words for "whore" can we think of? ...How about for a teenage girl?


It's not "snark," it's just gross. It's not smart, not funny, not interesting, and it's not your best. Please conduct yourselves like adults and remember the topic at hand. Unless you happened to spot a single mother giving birth to a half-Lebanese baby while signing her US citizenship papers last night on the show, the consequences of breaking the FAQ rules just got a lot more intensive.


Magic word for today? *** gross ***. Picking your underwear out from ass-wedge? Gross. Eating a pizza dropped on a used baby diaper? Gross. Discussing what the word "American" means? Ew... fucking gross... so stop it!

More random act of Jacobian madness can be found in the tales of woe in the TWoP thread in the RoyalMisfits forum. If you're new to the forum, ask the locals for directions.

Haha! Poor Jacob. So how short do you have to be to suffer from Napoleon Complex on the interweb, where no one can see you?

Good questions, elizabeth. My guess would be that he has a very tiny penis or perhaps undescended testicles.

Got banned by Jacob/TWoP Bayliss in a way that pretty much implied I had rubbed him the wrong way, but not anybody else in the forums. Tried to explain myself and ask a question of him, got banned.

Been there over six years and never had such a problem.

Most of the complaints about a Television Without Pity moderator (from both banned and not-banned members) are aimed squarely at TWoP Bayliss.

Instead of taking their ban and just slinking away quietly, or signing up under a different username, how about we try doing something about it.

Call NBC. Ask for Lauren Zalaznick, Bravo TV President (Bravo owns TwoP).

212-664-4444 is the New York number.
818-840-4444 is the LA number.

A former member and prolific blog member by the name of Marjorie wrote NBC a letter and has now called as well.

Her story is here:

I know that in the grand scheme of things it's just an internet message board for talking about TV shows, but for some it's a community they'd grown to like and, more importantly, we shouldn't let overzealous moderators get away with extreme a$$hole behaviour. Yes, TwoP does state in their FAQ that their mods are strict, but from what I've read of others experiences (and there are a LOT of complaints out there if you search "TwoP" and a negative adjective, or just "TWoP Bayliss") and from my own experience, this just goes beyond.

End it. Call the parent company, voice your grievance(s), and hopefully they'll discipline. Don't allow someone else to ruin something that you like and that was working fine before.

Hilarious, that by googling ‘twop bayliss is an a**hole’ any number of hits come up where Jacob/Bayliss is discussed.

Hilarious. I KNEW 'Bayliss' -- Jacob, huh? -- had a small member. I didn't realize he was short too. No wonder the choice of a tall television actor as an alias.

Oh, and moderator Julie Barnes (take a look at her blog where she revels in being called a Nazi) is a similar pathetic creature.

I wish Marjorie luck, but I don't think the suits at NBC/BRAVO give a rat's behind about TWOP.

Instead of registering with another id, maybe I’ll try emailing the suits at NBC.

I don't know if the douchebags behind TWOP moderate the NBC board, but feel free to leave your comments about Jacob and Julie here:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Jacob 'blocked' me from being his 'friend' on MySpace!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh, man, it all makes SO much sense now why Jacob aka Bayliss is the DB that he in on TWOP.

Poor, poor, poor 'little' 'little' man.

Hey, Jacob, you might find some help on late night television.

HAHAHAHHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
