Don't post stupid comments and I won't. If you think I'm going to go out of my way to talk to you or not talk to you, you should see a counselor or psychiatrist for that god complex.

1. DL asked a very dump question--sorry but it was.

2. MW over reacted--you have wasted so much time repeating everything several times which, sorry, was also dumb. My thinking is that you should have just ignored it. There is an old saying "Don't wrestle with the pig". Why not? Because the pig will drag you into the mud and pigs love the mud. I understand that you feel strongly about time being taken up with points that should be known but I bet it won't be the last one we get.

It isn't that I want the last word but really guys enough is enough. And it is getting personal which is not how it should be. So, let's agree to disagree on this and have a truce.

I'd like to see 2 or 3 messages containing 2 letters and 2 periods "O.K."
You're in no position to tell anyone that they wasted their own time. I don't feel that way at all, and it's my time. You seem to think that I was talking directly to the posters in this thread. I was not.

I was explaining my policy on dealing with idiots to everyone in the forum who happens upon this thread. Hopefully it will make for less idiots.

As for what you'd like to see, I'd like to see a few million dollars in bank account. Some things aren't going to happen.

I've already explained how I didn't overreact. Do I need to show you the list of what makes for a Stupid Post and what constitutes a Constructive Post?

Quite why he felt the need to do so I don't know, can only assume his mummy confiscated his tonka trucks for the day and he thought he'd try out this humour thing he read about in the big boy books.

He likes to kick off every now and again to appear big, hurl some abuse at people then disappear again. If you ignore him he goes away for a while.
I missed nothing--He's a big troll. Even his signature shows it (which really does give me a headache).

See above--my posts were directed at the forum at large.
The old adage goes, don't feed the trolls. He thrives on it, so don't give it to him. I agree entirely with your sentiments, and have attempted many times to try and clean up various aspects of the forum, but what I will say is repeatedly copy/pasting the same massive script will annoy more folk than it will do good. Might be better just to directly link to the excellent post you made in collecting help each time, rather than posting screeds. Otherwise you fall into the same trap we all do when trying to fix things, sounding condescending and taking flack for it.

That being said, this forum is now beyond help because the Admin doesn't give a toss about anything other than the advertising revenue it generates for him. If he did we would have more moderators than ones who joined one year, didn't post til the next and in the last five years or so have barely made it into triple figure posts but think they can order folk around.

Oh, his signature shows arrogance yes, but yours is the one that gives me a headache, simply because every time you post, I have to scroll through it to get to the next post. Again, I agree with the sentiments, but there are better ways to go about it.

Okay, here's a few pointers...

1. You joined this forum two days ago, might be an idea to contribute before kicking up fuss.
2. There are kids on this forum, mind your language
3. This is all presuming you're not just a troll and/or duplicate account who signed up just to cause trouble.

Either way, you're not doing anything other than acting up and looking like a fool.

I agree with every word.

I will add that this conversation started BEFORE I made that the post though. Lately, I have taken to just pasting that link.

I'll also say that lately, as someone who's been here for years, I've started getting the feeling that the admin account has changed hands and that this "admin" isn't the same admin who was on this forum back in the days. It would explain a lot.

And it's not the arrogance in his signature that gives me the headache. It's that the "Future published writer" doesn't know how to use a comma.

OK it seems that the only way this is going to stop is to lock it. So let it be written--So let it be.
