I DID NOT like him, but had no trouble ignoring him, so I would never pursue "voting him off the island".

But I can see that if he became a major headache for the management here, that has to end one way or another.

It gets old….DAMN old…for the people charged with being the site’s zookeepers. This forum lets you get away with more than most, and certainly more than the state-controlled Corvette Forum. It’s not like he wasn’t given warnings that he was getting on people’s last nerve and plenty of opportunities to tap the brakes on his sophomoric behavior.

Most sensible people would get the message. Not him. No sir. He'll show us.

Many…in fact I’d say most people who post here have been a somewhat cohesive group for years. Some for decades. Many of us have met and consider each other personal friends. Many assist this site with financial support. You can’t just disregard their importance and criticism so you can cater to the one social misfit that comes here and stirs up shit so that everyone else can have a toadie to dogpile on. It's a pain in the ass. Just because you have the freedom to speak doesn’t mean you should always use it.

Like it or not, this isn’t a home for progressive social experiments. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

Excellent post.
I wish I was more mature and understood this years ago. Oh well, I guess some of us are late bloomers.

Why? I'm genuinely curious. He's a narcissist, a serial liar, and every post was meant to stir up shit and piss people off. What's to like?

Exactly. You just listed why.

There are two people on this site I despise, but I don't whine about them. I simply don't correspond with them and ignore them.

For a lot of grown men, you guys are pretty weak letting a crass, clumsy troll get under your skin. If you think about it, he WON. You picked up your jacks and went home.

He provided meat for the grinder. Face it, this place revolves around bagging on mother****ers.

He won? Interesting. What did he win? Most are ecstatic that he is gone, and a couple are disappointed. Is that a win?

Would you choose to associate with someone like that in your personal life? Invite them into your home? Spend time with them while trying to ignore them? No? Huh, imagine that.

And no, he didn't win anything. We're still here and he's gone. He lasted longer than a couple of similar past trolls here, so he may have won that contest, but that doesn't count for much.

Just hope *89×2* doesn't find this site.
He makes STS look like a piker

On what ****in’ planet are you residing? Peaceful? Have you seen the “Where’s Doug” thread?

I think he's on global ignore. Says he was active today, we're just not allowed to view any of his posts

[The_Dude]

you can still send him PMs and post on his profile message board

I agree. I will confess, however, I asked mods to delete a particularly vicious post against another forum member (not me). If our mods had to deal with a lot of complaints of a similar nature, then I don't begrudge them for whatever they might have done in response.

If I'm being honest, he is probably on a short list of people I'd shoot in the knees purely for the joy of it.

I bet at the other place all the bitchy profiles are actually just mods trying to stir up things for post counts. Then they just ban the profile when somebody suspects its fake.

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed. People with HPD often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention.
