Not hilarious at all.

What a douchebag.

This guy is a textbook sociopath. And he is the very reason I want to become a forensic psychologist. Thanks for the good read.

Your title for this thread is completely irrelevant to the story. Other than that, this guy must be breaking some type of law when it goes as far as threatening someones safety with evidence of being able to (pictures).

It's not completely irrelevant -- the attitude of this guy is very reminiscent of trolls who try everything they can to game the system.

Not funny in anyway, but that guy is a genius to come up with such a tactic, regardless if he's been arrested and stuff. But all in all it isn't worth it, as he says it's tiring and causes stress.

Troll: One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. (Source, Urbandictionary)

I think that fits well. But I'd also like to know where the "banevading" relevancy shows.

EDIT: I think everyone does a type of negative advertising. We all know Shamwow is BS, but I know a ton of people I told that to, still bought it just to see if it really does suck. Considerably negative advertisement.

I really refer to the sort of underlying sociopathic tendencies you find in both persistent trolls and the guy in this article. The way he tells people "Good luck" when credit card companies claim they will install more safeguards -- much like how a troll will say the same thing when mods threaten bans and such. If he gets nuked somewhere, he'll just use another name. He'll deliberately cause disruption and argument in order to generate negative press to drive his agenda.

He kept changing his name.. he had like 4 going on at the same time. I would call that a ban-evade.

Underlying sociopathic tendencies would have been a better title, IMO. I see the similarity, but I still think it was still mis-guided in some sense. Oh well, nonetheless a interesting read.

Nobody was banning him from anything. The fact that networking terms being used to outside situations just makes no sense. That's my point.

I don't know what benevading is, but I'm trying to figure out what kind of argument Oni is trying to make here aside from arguing for the sake of arguing. You created an eye catching thread title and provided an interesting article = good thread.

EDIT: OHHH BAN EVADING. Lol at myself. Makes sense now.

Quit ranting about the title, humerous doesn't always = accurate.
This specific thread title is a little bit of both, which is perfect.

I wasn't trying to setup an argument. I through out my opinion about the title because I saw it was irrelevant to the story. I still read the story, I still made my opinion about the story. Reincarnate decided to try persuade me as to why the title was relevant to the story.

It wasn't an argument, it was a simple conversation. But by everyone else throwing in their two-sense into this, it's becoming one because no one can simply respect another persons opinion.

An argument is stated as a fact in a debate. You did not say "I think your title for this thread is completely irrelevant to the story". Instead, you stated it as a fact, opening up an argument where other people took the initiative to argue with you.

How about we just drop the trivial issue of the thread title and focus on content, please?

Also, Oni, the saying is two cents, not two-sense.. where did you get that from?
Unless you're attempting a play on words, in which case, I don't understand it.

And Reincarnate did explain, which led what could have been an argument into a more pleasant conversational direction. You and rushy diverted this into a more unpleasant with the statements made. But enough bickering about this, it's not going to get anywhere.

EDIT (again):

Typing fast and multi-tasking. I'm trying to accomplish 20 things at once at the moment, but not paying attention to a thread in FFR is like facing a shark in open water.

I didn't take a direct shot at you, and the fact that you're doing 20 things at the same time and don't care leads me to believe that you didn't read the story/don't care about the story and you're just in here to troll.

Get out of the thread if you don't care enough to even proofread your 4 line post...

But in all honesty, when you start pointing fingers and claiming people don't respect your opinion, I think people should have the opportunity to defend themselves. Which we all did, and now it's over. I didn't find this unpleasant at all, and often the most interesting threads are the derailed ones.

I agree though, back to topic. (if possible)
