I had no idea what you meant until you dragged it up. That was all dealt with through the proper channels, and why it was removed.;)

I have no association with this person whatsoever, and neither do I want to.

 

So let me get this straight, let me try and get into your mindset.

 

You expect me to believe, that some random person posted that they are your relative and you have made life hard for them and their closest friends, right that's incredibly disturbing in itself, surely a person wouldn't forget about a thing like that?

 

You then found out about such person and went through the effort of reporting them and having the situation seen to and dealt with, and then, you completely forgot such a thing happened.

 

Right.

It's not dumb at all, I understand why you have issues interacting with people, I know it's not the same thing, at all, but I used to be terrible with human interaction (Mark will comment that I still am) posting on forums kinda helped in a weird way, they helped me realise I had an opinion worth sharing and that if I worded it right I could actually say something of worth (again Mark will pick up on my more trollish days here) but the point is, YOU CAN DO IT.

 

Hey that happened to me, I felt like a total weirdo too, good to know it isn't so uncommon. I got a lot less obnoxious irl after joining Coldplaying I think, interestingly enough.

These often seem to be places for being who you can't be in real life.

And it can get rid of that part of you, or stay who you are in more than one place.

 

I need to take explaining lessons. :wacky:

Nah it basically makes sense, over the internet almost all social inhibitions can be released if you feel like it, anonymity and, on messageboards, the delayed reactions between communications (wherein you can think) can completely change the way you act toward people, either people only let that kind of thing loose online and keep it locked up irl or they get so used to it their internet personality starts rubbing off on their "real-life" personality, for better or for worse.

 

Then again you could have meant something entirely different, in which case yah you need explaining lessons :lol:

I'm pretty sure you understood about right. :P

 

One thing I hate though is that I end up saying stupid catch phrases and memes and such people use all the time on here in real life. :dozey:

 

I'm pretty sure I'm the same person as I am on here....only on here I'm less panicky, more social and more interesting. :P

It's massively changed me though.

the rolleyes smiley is so annoying.

 

and i think i remember that post about Mark's cousin thing.

 

and Mark, do you have to end most of your posts with a smiley? why? to enhance the point of your post?

i see that Reilly and HorrificAttack don't do so, and they seem to make their point really clear. putting those smileys just seems to make you rather defensive (in context to what's happening here).

God knows why he does the smiley thing, I think we've all learnt a lot about Mark and his messed up way of influencing, but somehow the smiley's just don't make sense. The only thing it might be is that it makes him look like he doesn't really care at the same time as making his points.;)

 

Did it work?

 

Oh yeah it turns out he isn't directly related to that guy (Very, very distant on the family tree) but the real person he didn't want to mention does indeed post here. His posts in front of them seem so funny now.

 

And some people have a habit of totally ignoring others in public for no reason whatsoever, which is every bit as impolite, IMO.

 

Exactly. Especially when you've actually spoken to them before, and then they refuse to even acknowledge your existence. Very saddening behaviour indeed.:dozey:

The worst thing is, these are very often the same people that then go around complaining about others' behaviour, which is reprehensible and hypocritical in the extreme.:angry:

 

Although there are clearly exceptions, as the person I was talking about (who deliberately ignores people) is apparently "educated".:dozey:

 

Bitter much?

i'm pissed with his smileys. i don't ever feel like using that rolleyes smiley again.

and since i remember that particular thread where Mark's distant relative posted in, it really sounds as if he is being defensive.

 

i have no reason to hate Mark, to be honest. i just find him annoying.

 

and yes, he sounds pretty bitter.

Oh, that's fair enough. But I do hate him, at least when on the forum, in fact when I take a break and then come back on here I always forget how much of a **** I think he is. It's gotten to the point where I hate a lot of things about him, and other people hate him for many different reasons, I'm just beginning to feel sorry for him. Although I can tell people such me and Nathan piss him off and put him in uncomfortable spots sometimes, I know for the most part he loves the attention of arguing and in his deluded mind, looking like the good guy (Though I know that most people don't even read the majority of these petty arguments).

 

I think I'll just leave him to his trolling, if there's one thing thats for sure about him it's that he's passed help, nomatter how many people tell him, it's not going to change, so I think I'll have to join the group who ignore in a civil manner.

and he tells you guys to get help. :dozey:

 

I'm used to reading yours and HorrificAttack's tell-off comments and i think you guys are just speaking your mind.

and lol, i wouldn't like to be in Mark's position in this thread. with two of you telling him off.. :wreck:

 

i think my english is wrong. :thinking:

It makes sense. You wouldn't get into that position of being told off like this though, I don't think anyone would.

 

The only person I remember that got as much abuse from forum members was Albie, but that was just more like everyone telling him to fuck off. With Mark it's like people on and off the forum are just picking him apart and wondering how the hell someone gets like that.

 

Yeah we've been harsh to him, but we're not the only ones who think this way. I guess most people are smarter then to get in these stupid arguments that won't get anywhere.

i would definitely run away if i fought with you guys. lol

 

and not stay there and play with fire.

 

i remember that thread about him. kinda proves that lots hate him.

If I was him I'd have left a long time ago. In his head the many people who hate him aren't many, they are some irrelevant individuals who just like being abusive, bullying and 'mobbing' etc. etc. And the few who like him and the rest who are indifferent is what he focusses on, like in this thread, if anyone posted something in favour of, or even indifference to Mark's views he has to cling onto it.

 

I don't know how he can stay here with this gigantic embarrassing reputation he has, but I guess he has no dignity.

On this topic what I find extremely irritating is how when you hold a door open for someone they stroll right through and don't even bother to thank you or anything.

that definately does piss me off. And letting a car through and get no damn response from the driver. I don't bother doing that anymore on the roads, but that doesn't make me an unpolite person.

 

I feel like putting my fist through the kitchen window just reading this thread :P

Oh yes, that is really annoying.

For things like that I wish there was a way to communicate with other drivers and tell them a sarcastic, very loud "YOU'RE WELCOME" when they do that.

I agree with Ian, this thread has certainly made me feel like putting my fist through something (or someone) thats for sure!!

 

My Dad always told me that if I hold the door open for someone and they just breeze through it without even acknowledging me to then call after them...

 

"Pardon?"

 

Then they turn round and say "I didn't say anything"

 

and you reply "Oh sorry, I thought you said thank you!"

 

But I've always been too much of a wimp to try it!

 

There are nice polite people and there are rude as hell people the world over, you really cannot generalise and put it down to nationalities, rural or cities, class etc etc, ' tis human nature, like it or lump it!

Aha that's clever! :D

 

But I agree, I would also be too shy to say that :shy:

Why do you feel like that? If it got anything to do with what I wrote here, please let me know, I don't bite.

Also, I'd love to know why Ian would love to put his fist whereever, while reading this thread, just take a side ( for once) and tell why.

That's the point - I don't believe it does, generally. From my experience, people in other countries are generally far more courteous and polite.

Ever notice how you just make blanket statements about other places in the world? For some reason you assume Britain is the only place like it is and that everywhere else all the people act exactly the same. Newsflash: Everywhere you go there will be rude people and there will be polite people. And there will be those in between. Shocker innit?

 

I used to be so shy I couldn't even go to the till in a shop alone, I'd still smile at people and be polite though, maybe you're looking into it wrongly, if someone smiled at you or held a door open for you, you wouldn't smile back?

 

Or maybe you're just a dick, haha.

I love how everyone has to function the way you do or else they're a dick. I used to be the same way as her, sometimes I found it awkward to smile at people or give a nod. Now I've grown out of that but it's funny how you assume everyone who is shy is shy exactly like you are, there can be no varying levels and no one can deal with it differently.

I think you must have missed the point where I said "I know this situation is nothing like yours, but..." and I don't think I ever implied she was a dick :/ Nice try though...

The point about Mark clinging on to people who don't challenge what he says is so utterly true, we have a fine example on the forum at the moment in Crests, she simply can't tell him to go away and leave her alone so he follows her all over the forum, he posts in her thread, in the canada thread, practically high fives her when she spammed in this thread too. There are other less known examples too, but they tend to just be people who don't say anything bad about people because they don't like conflict, like Jo, she has said to me before that she dislikes Mark a lot, but he PMs her on facebook, chat messages her "jokes" about Finland and bitches about me to her (apparently not knowing that we talk to each other) it's funny and bemusing and sad.

this is the fucking problem with people. if they want to backstab, backstab properly. or damn it, just gather the balls up to 'front stab'.

Down the line I've had more then enough examples of people doing the same. What's also funny is how oblivious he is when they do make a snide and subtle comment about him, he just brushes over it like it never happened. He's so arrogant that when someone's blatantly mocking him right in front of him, he can't imagine it would be criticism.

 

Basically the only way he can register that someone doesn't like him just a little bit is if they tell him to fuck off and he's a fucking ****, so that's why we do it.

Some people who he felt he had trust in and have turned around and 'front stabbed' have then been harassed by PMs and in threads (Including this one). For most people it's just not worth the hassle.

I was telling Mark that Briggins mocks him to his face and he told me I was lying. It's hilarious.

oblivious? or just plain in the first stage of grief?
