Trust you, you old fart and you hardly know me. No free beer for you when you get to the UK (by that time it'll be so expensive I'll be needing somebody to offset the VAT):Psundaymorningstaple wrote:He ain't got no sense of humour (British or otherwise).
Sigh. I detected some weirdness in the way he was so emphatic in his glorification - doesn't he reflect the old warheads though? Simultaneously, his ranting and raving are signs that he needed help - do you turn away the sick who need help to get some poison in their system out? He sounds so desperate but he didn't know it of course. OTOH, he might think he's bantering with you lot. Give peace a chance? Anyway, he can't penetrate your metallic coat of arms. Can anyone?Plavt wrote:For the benefit of the regulars I have removed the troll, just have to hope he doesn't come back again but don't count on it.
Mine too. I had the bait out and ready to reel him in .... And I am not yet an expat - a couple of months and then I will be kicking bootie and taking names... Interesting place this little island.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Yeah, Plavt is always spoiling my fun!

More seriously, these kind of xenophobic trolls exist in every forum. Usually they tend to be high-school age kids recently jilted.
Reminds me of the Serdar Argic spam bot on usenet from the early 1990s.
You found it 'fun' reading a stark ranting driven? The poor guy might 've been on the verge of psychological collapse - or will be if his outside world's so harsh. He might be a teen freak or an aspiring student, even an old general. Now no one'll ever know.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Yeah, Plavt is always spoiling my fun!
For someone who'd been there, you only get hardened. Ever consider going back for all its worth? lolbeenthere wrote:Mine too. I had the bait out and ready to reel him in ....

Try to get my name spelt right, Plavt; don't know why but it's case sensitive if you want me to regard you on equal terms, for whatever's worth.Plavt wrote:Sorry Ann, we are not here to be therapists, apart from hijacking threads he was being abusive and perhaps personal at which I had no option. You can read some of his attacks in the rubbish forum.
The problem is, with his type, the green shoot more often than not, is a strangler fig, that when given enough time, will eventually kill it's host. Read that as our regulars getting frazzled at the garbage in all the threads, so move on the better, smoother pastures. Without the regulars, the site dies.anneteoh wrote: I'd say let a green shoot grow into a big tree. lol
He would have to admit first that he had a problem for him to be helped which he clearly wasn't even near to even realizing. He also refused to appealing to reason a good number of us had already tried with him. He was clearly more interested in raising hell than engaging in dialog. He didn't respond to us speaking softly so we had to use those big sticks we've been carrying. If Plavt didn't ban him, even bigger sticks would have been used; not just by SMS.anneteoh wrote:You found it 'fun' reading a stark ranting driven?

I would have liked to find out who he is and give him a bit of friendly diagnosis. SMS, I thought you'd been a truer liberal with allowing free speech - at least for a while, a few days, to calm him down.
The upshot - can Plavt allow geerang back to see how he'll ring changes?
