Don't you get it? This is what he does. This is what he doesn't even have to try to do really. If you have a problem where someone is acting like a jerk, acting like a jerk back lets the original jerk point and say "you're a jerk too". And he will be right.

 

If you always take the moral high ground and never give in to the temptation to be anything less than perfect to that person no matter how much they deserve otherwise, you can pin their own actions on them without distraction. You get to show them up as the jerk they are. So yes, trying to act fairly is important. Vital, even.

 

You have to be squeaky clean and perfect and on message. And you have to be united in not playing the game. Not gossiping, not pointing out things that don't really matter to the main message. Not taking the opportunity to shove in an extra dagger to the mix.

 

Trolls will always win the game. You need to be above the game so that they can't drag you down into it.

Thanks for clarifying. That's exactly what I and many others try to do with regards to Mark, hence why I wondered why your question was directed at me.

 

BUT a united board all acting in the same way? Impossible. And how does that tally with your idea of protecting young newcomers from being hassled?

This day is already half over in continental Europe.

Something really positive might have happened.

*hides*

OH NO :uhoh:

*hides*

 

Hahaha, why?

why does he have to come back on my day off?!?! :bigcry:

I know, but he probably will :P

IM SCARED

He might stay away?

IM SCARED

 

What are you doing up so early? :lol:

What are you doing up so early? :lol:

 

I think it's around 2 am there :lol:

I bet you he won't come online today :lol:

I bet you he won't come online today :lol:

 

*prays to God that he won't*

I'm awesome like that

I'm awesome like that

He isn't back yet? Maybe he forgot his password.

 

Mark if you read this, try anything with paedo... paedo69, i_am_paedo, paedo4life, whatever :nice:

'paedo4life' Haha!

 

I had a feeling this might happen. Theres too much for him to deal with in this thread, too many logical debates, too many reasonable people finally coming together and openly discussing his behaviour, where could he possibly start to defend himself?

 

The fact is I dont think anyone here is looking for a defence, just for him to piss off for good. Im done with knowing about the guy and the only thing he does is bring negativity here (Even if doing it in a 'positive' way).

 

I can imagine his tactic is to let it blow over, soon he'll start posting here and there, maybe in different forums, then gradually working his way into being a regular poster and hope that we'll just forget about this.

 

It'll take a long time for me to forget some of the things Ive discovered in this thread.

Can I use this quote, as a quote, for me to win "Most influential thread created by a chap named James"?
