As Skull relentlessly informs me every-time I mention the b-word out of frustration, we can't ban Punisher.

Why don't we just ignore&sage if he post deliciously controversial material that's obviously bait?

Step one :Enter controversial thread made by the parasite
Step dos on't fuel the fire with your opinions
Step drei:Reply with "Sage"
Step четыре:Leave and never speak of the matter again

Power to the people

Problem with that. He'll PM me and she dog about it to me while simultaneously asking me why my country is corrupt.

Wouldn't it of been better sending this as a PM to everyone rather then posting it on the forums visible to ThePunisher? Just an idea..

Also, as much as I think this is a good idea no one is going to do it.

Today, starting with three courageous warriors for freedom, The Autonomous Peoples Republic of The Dink Network declares war on the corrupt and godless regime known as The Brotherhood of Logic.

Let him see our intents. Let him quake in fear in the face of the will of the people.

Brothers and Sisters, today is the start of a new history. A history that we will tell to the children of our new nation for generations to come. A history that will be the manifesto for all peoples that long for liberation from internet atheism and all other forms of psychologically oppressive edgyness. A history that will forever shape the cogs of forum society!!

Citizens, arms yourselves and take to the web pages paved by our grandfathers, for today a regime ends and a new age for our people rises from the ashes of justice!

FORWARD MY PEOPLE!!

We see an unimaginable number of things every day, But clearly we don't take note of every single thing. Why? Because we only care about why we find interesting. Everything else fades out and gets ignored. And this is true for every single creature with a brain. Now, interesting doesn't simply mean things we enjoy. It also means the opposite- things we dislike.
Now, for the sake of me and everyone else here, please stop finding him interesting.

I find many things on the internet everyday, horrible, mind-raping, childhood ruining things, yet I still come back. Does that count as interesting, and can I be one of the children that talks about the war since I'm still 14 for about another month or two.

Pred doesnt do it to bait us - thats just him - hes said hes autistic and his behaviour here proves to me he isnt lying. He really wants to know the answers to his questions. And to him theyre burning ones so he asks (repeatedly some times sigh) where he hopes to get an answer. We all know theres better ways of doing that but this seems to be his mode of doing what he needs, guess our choice in the matter is decide what our reaction will be - let it work us up or let it go because nothing you do can change it at this stage. U gotta decide if it is worth the time you spend angry about it.

I guess u could use toasts ignore script if you really dont like it. That thing works amazingly well for having an Aussie creator (NZ and Aussies have this... 'thing' like most neighbouring countries heh) I can attest that it works, I have had one person on that for a year and a bit and its pretty catharic i must say not to see them or their posts when I come here any more reminds me I must update firefox again now theres a new version hehe.

SOME of preds topics unwittingly spark some real interesting chat usually started as someone goes off topic a tad and some just get flushed, others I like to have a good laugh over and others I manage to simply ignore. (Guess he doesn't work me up like the rest of you).

You have to make a personal choice I guess - live and let live or find a way you can make this place bearable like i did because I am NOT bringing out the duct tape ok, its just NOT gunna happen

Mental disabilities aside, if this was any other forum on the internet ThePunisher would have been banned a long time ago. Sadly, it seems as if we can't get him banned but that's not a reason to excuse his behavior. He knows what he posts is unacceptable and he just continues to do so.

There's also a part of me that thinks he could just be a troll if so he is probably laughing hysterically at the fact that he has angered so many people on the forum.

There's been times when I was really annoyed at ThePunisher and wanted him gone. But then there's times when we've had genuinely interesting conversations and I've felt like he's really trying. And to be fair, he insults people so often it's hard to care at this point, and I don't really believe he means to insult and offend, but he just gets angry really easy. Personally I can relate to that, so...

I think deep down he's a good person, who's trying to improve and be an ok community member. Even though it may not seem that way. But you should've seen him when he first arrived.

And despite all his insults and arguments, at least his posts don't give the feeling that he thinks the rest of us are dumb, unequals without brains and that he's some sort of a saviour who's come to rescue us from doom.

If by 'spin' you're trying to impose that it's me who said that, you failed miserably, whoever you are.

Anyway... whatever. In my opinion I says to you, I says, treat ThePunisher nicely for a while, I say, don't flare up at him and I'm sure he'll try to be good back to us. I know a lot of you may wonder why I'm saying that when I couldn't stand him for years. But I guess since this isn't my main forum anymore I'm more detached and can look at things more level-mindedly.

The truth is I know someone personally who reminds me of ThePunisher a lot - he's different from other people and he can't talk clearly and he gets angered over the slightest things and is radically disagreeable about a lot of stuff... but treat him well and he does try to be nice back.

We won't achieve anything by finger-pointing.
It is already concluded we can't ban anyone, so let's just try to live with it.
Besides, it's pointless to rage about trolls now that we have yeoldtoast's script.

Not saying that anyone here is a troll, of course.
I'm sure that with enough patience, you could normally communicate with Punisher and everybody else.

nicely said! Can I (kindly) suggest also that its really not nice to make threads about how u dislike someone or how to target them - kinda rude as well - lets be grownups huh. We are a family here - its always been the community that keeps this place going ((((group huggles)))) and for that reason it will go on for a while yet.

Oh and would whom,ever snaffled my basement key please give it back - ExD is getting hungry and will chew thru the bars any minute......

"its really not nice to make threads about how u dislike someone or how to target them"

Yes.
It seems that for every thread with people trolling/being annoying,there is a thread of other people expressing their hate for the trolls.
Obviously, that's not helping us, and is actually making the situations worse.

That's exactly why the site is the way it is.
Just ignore those you don't like and the site will (hopefully) revert back to normal.

You are, of course, forgetting that everybody in America, except the Westboro people, hate the Westboro people. that last one is an example of stupidity. The main reason why I got pissed at you in your various PMs to me was because you constantly missed the point of what I was saying, even though I often stated it in simplest terms.
Either that, or you blatantly ignored what I said.

In any case, you're trying to start a flame war, again, and if that happens, this topic will be deleted because of your insatiable desire to ruin every topic on the forum.

On a lighter note: Bad Apple.

So let's see: you're saying that he isn't intelligent enough to be your friend? Your description sounds like Skull is right: he's trying his best, but it doesn't always work out well. It's also the impression I get from what I see (but note again that I'm not seeing deleted posts, so I may be missing a lot).

if that happens, this topic will be deleted because of your insatiable desire to ruin every topic on the forum.

I don't see how he's trying to ruin topics. He's posting stuff I don't care much about (and some posts I find interesting), but ruining a topic? It's been quite a while since I saw him try that. He might do it sometimes, but I don't believe he tries to.

Then again, it doesn't take much intuition to understand why he doesn't have any respect for this specific topic, now does it? That being said, I'm quite impressed that it still hasn't turned into a flame war. And that nobody really posted anything which looks like an attempt at it. Well, maybe that's exaggerating it. But you didn't try very hard at least.

So thank you all for behaving so well. Keep it up!

Personally, I just wanted to offer my inept solution due to the fact I actually looked at this thread;

I stopped clicking almost all threads that aren't related to Dmod's in some way and pretty much visit the forum page, then leave, because there's never anything else that interests me here in the Forums.

I've given up on Pred. I just skip over everything he posts now, don't even bother reading anything.

Anyway, who plays Magic the Gathering?

Every day at school. Bought the Esper EDH precon deck yesterday and I'm working on making it silly. I have a couple other silly decks that are super fun to play. My favorites being my mono-green Elf-drazi and my 5 color field control. Also trying to finish a mono-black Pain/Combo deck which is also super silly.

The few of you who care can take a look at the decks I use by clicking here.
