[Rant mode on] For those of you who are hell bent on making things worse, knock it off, or will get out the nerf stick and start busting heads. You can be part of the solution or part of the problem. Being part of the solution entails going about your daily lives just enjoying the threads that do not involve Mr. Humanrights, let me deal with the situation. Being part of the problem entails continuing to mouth off to the guy, or anything else that is meant to provoke a confrontation which will more than likely disrupt services for a few hours or more, while we fix the problem. For those who might be thinking about testing me on this matter, this will be my course of action, first I’ll add a new feature to the web forum software that’ll allow me to put a date and time for when you’ll next be aloud to post. Then I’ll set that time to be a month from now. The same goes for you Mr. Humanrights, no provoking the other side, doing so revokes any further communication, deletion of all known accounts, and any further action that may be necessary. I don’t need to see any apologies or anything like that, I don’t need and moral support in the forums on these threads, just let me deal with the situation. So who wants to be the first victim?

Here is the Nerf of the 21st Century. Please only use it for extreme measures. For all that don't know what a Nerf is. It is a soft toy designed for play and will not actually hurt anyone. But the meaning of being Nerfed is not Changed! |

OK Rom, I'll put my book of Danish fairytales back in the closet. I guess now he knows how Lena felt. You're right. But as ET said in his parting shot [b]" Beeee goooood. " Account frozen... |

Ryan Carter caused a lot of problems over on the SETI Classic boards awhile back. I forget what he was going on about. He got some people upset. Someone started bumping his threads to the bottom and then bumping the original threads back to the top. Totally messed up several of the Classic boards. After they did that, saner heads prevailed and people learned what "don't feed the troll" means and that it also works. |

<sarcasm> You'd think that trolls would give up, much like the way insurgents and freedom-fighters would have given up when the allied forces got into Afghanistan and Iraq... </sarcasm> Trolls don't negotiate or learn from their mistakes because they are incapable of reasoning and questioning. That is a problem wherever there is a society, such as are these fora. You can't convince someone from changing their behaviour if they simply don't give a damn about their repercussions or believe that Dieu et mon droit. I'd have ended it by saying "2¢", but that would be selling myself short. €2 |

I didn't bother to read any of them because the Site was slower than a herd of snails but I could imagine what they where all about... |

that would require an acceptance of responsibility. I don't see it happening. > > Punch the f&^*ing Avatars up your ass. > > > > > Ever heard of Anger Management Classes? > |
