rip lexxthese are just the ones in this thread [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…my understanding is that he has been engaging in similar hijinks at [b]lexxbored[/b], except with much more attempts at starting and keeping flames going…including a couple of threads with jumping jedi…
again, this sort of behavior has led to serious flamewars at other boards and here…
i am not sure why people feel like they have to cause problems under several aliases, except that they thrive on other people’s misery, and obviously do not have anything better to do…so give it a rest bonnee, and do not attempt to justify your petty games under the guise of defending dt, no one is buying it
FX, I have a suggestion to rid ourselves of such pests, if you can update us on exactly what nicks the said perpertrator is using, then we can all avoid any discussion with him.
Unfortunately, I have been guilty as anyone of flaming before coming here, and you just reach a point where you wonder what the hell you are doing it for, so I was pleased to find a place where this didn’t happen, and found a bunch of nice like minded people who felt the same way.
From what I can tell people like Bonnee attempt to massage their own ego’s by invoking a flamewar, just so they can feel clever in offering a biting retort, essentially showing off their intellect in a vain attempt to get admiration.
In fact it only results in these people being resented, and then it makes them angrier because no know is recognising their belief that they are supremely intelligent, so then they just get their kicks by trying to find an opponent who can rival them in intellect.
In reality, they usually tend to write a long winded reply that they feel was composed excellently and they feel that no one could/should offer a good enough response to it.
These are extremely shallow people who in reality have absolutely no confidence in themselves.
All they want is someone to bite back, feeling that their post has invoked a response and that someone is taking notice of them, mostly because in the past they get ignored and so desperately want attention.
I know this sounds like psych 101, but if you come across enough people like this, then you realise they are just extremely lonely people with a grudge to bear.
So I would say to other board members, ‘don’t bite’, if it’s possible for the moderators to let us know just who is writing the post, then we should all be able to turn a blind eye to it, and eventually they will either get bored and move on, or begin to realise they are acting like prats and stop looking to cause unneccessary trouble.
Freedom of speech is one thing, outright attempts at trying to annoy or upset someone is something else.
