To the people here who are not trying to work out many years of frustration, abuse, and manipulation, I ask that you look up the last few threads Mark posted in before you judge either side too quickly.

 

The definition of an internet troll is someone who is disruptive for attention or personal amusement.

 

Apparently, a large group of girls who were tired of arguing got the message and finally learned how to ignore Mark completely. This is the first time I have ever seen that happen on this board. Normally when people ignore him it doesn't last very long for many reasons. So I payed very close attention to his behavior once an entire group had finally succeeded in doing the seemingly impossible. It was a group of mainly teenage girls who had set up a thread full of -basically- pure girl talk. Something he had nothing to do with. He interjected non-sequiters every few posts. When no one reacted to these he went into other threads and whined about how unfair it was that he was being ignored by these girls. His behavior in the girls' thread became more and more erratic up until the moment he was banned.

 

I can only assume that either they finally reported him or he reported them for ignoring him. Either way, I think this ranks as conclusive proof. Mark needs attention.

 

This makes him by definition a troll.

 

Unlike your usual bored teenage troll however, he seems to be genuinely trying to get something out of this place that he needs in real life that we cannot give him. He is trying to interact with all these teenagers but expects them to act like his version of what adults are. They are not adults, they are teenagers. They cannot and will not conform to his world view. The fact that he seems to need them to, and the way he inappropriately acts towards them and pries into people's lives leads me to believe that although he may be benign, he is in fact the sort of person your mother warned you about- older men trying to pass themselves off as a teenagers on the internet for their own agenda.

 

I don't agree with the way much of this thread played out. But everything said here has pretty much been said to his face at one time or another. (Some of it by me though he never seems to be able to comprehend that.) This thread has allowed people to finally compare notes in public without interruption to piece together the bigger picture. I get the impression that many of them are counting on Mark reading it hoping that he will finally understand what they have been trying to tell him for many years now.

 

It's easy to think of a character like a piece of old furniture. It's just always there so you put up with it. I've even defended him on that basis many times. But this week has made me realize just how inappropriate his behavior has actually been. There are children on this board and for lack of a better term the way he treats them can be very creepy. Frankly, I think it might be best if anyone under 18 avoids giving out any personal information that he might see.

 

 

Mark, if you are reading this, I'm saying this because I'm worried about you: perhaps you should look into seeing a good psychologist or counselor. This board is not a substitution for one.

 

 

 

I don't want to debate this any further. Be wise all of you, please take the higher ground, (especially the mods who really ought to attempt to act neutrally on the matter) and remember. Don't feed the troll.

 

Again, quoted for truth (except the part about the mods staying neutral when Mark attacks them).

Goodness. Thanks Tonsu for the bump and quote. I haven't noticed that post until now.

I promised I wouldnt feed the troll, but I cant help it Erin :sick:

 

I originally came here to troll and be trolled! Its in my veins! :disappointed:

I read "it's in my penis" instead of "in my veins"....yeah sorry that's childish....

 

 

but I thought there was ice-cream in your penis....you know:bigcry:

 

 

erm sorry

Hahaha! Well technically its just ice cream batter, but Im modest like that :rolleyes:

I see he's back posting, but so far there's no massive multi-quote. So I guess he's avoiding the public fight and keeps it private this time.

 

And even though it might be a good thing that the drama doesn't start again right away, I'm pretty sure it will eventually.

 

I just would really like to see a response to Space Cadet's post, because, quite honestly, it deserves a response and I for one would really like to know if there's any logical explanation, since I see him posting in a thread again where mostly minors post.

Well, there's not much multi-quoting can do to hide the truth. And, at last it's out there and people are realising it.

Yeah, for sure, the guy just can't help carrying this stuff on...so eventually imho it'll all blow up again (and forum history shows the same thing).

I don't think there is a logical explanation, but I second your wish. If there is one, then let's see it. If not, then please be less ambiguous with your intentions when dealing with minors, Mark.

:uhoh:
