Uses of the block feature

So I guess you're not even going to say anything about blocking him so he couldn't respond?

There's a reason that just anyone can't be a forum mod and this is it. If you were a mod you'd be removed immediately for behavior like that. The entire point of the blocking feature is to stop people from harrasing you AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE. Although you can block anyone it is just bad form to use it in other way.

I've been on here an entire year longer than you and have blocked like 5 people and I don't even remember who they are. And I actually post on the public forums. I don't know what the heck you could be doing to actually have a list of people to block but something aint' right there.


Yes, what he said

You've also been on here a year longer than Karl, have blocked around 5 people, and don't even remember who they are?  Stunning coincidence! Wink

Don't take me out of context. I'd block you, but I don't have a detention group. Can I outsource?

I'm aware of blocks by the following people; Windows, Neff, woodshover, atudor, and Karl; perhaps you can work out some sort of timeshare with one of them?

I wonder if they've banned each other or if they hold some sort of support group for those, like themselves, who find 95% of the population intolerable.

Windows and woody, right?  Are you sure Neff hasn't blocked you, in one of his many incarnations?

Avatar of theoreticalboy

Neff was InternationalChess, of 'Hijacking Forum Threads' fame.  I know because I hold grudges, dammit!

Avatar of theoreticalboy

Yeah, kramakintews has it right.  He can't not have blocked you after that enchanted night...

 

BTW, the newest gold from Karl:  "If someone disagrees with my ideas and thoughts and calmly discusses these, that's not abuse, that's discussion.  Calling someone an idiot or worse is not.  There is a difference, I guess some here either don't care about that or don't understand it."

I can't remember who said it here, but it's a good quote: 'Yeah, introspection is way overrated.  Don't bother.'

I'm part of the "Detention Group." If you like I could see if Windows-7_ would take on some of your blockees. I know detention is kind of empty at the moment so he might welcome a few extra members.

Although what's more likely is that he will discover this post and give me a curt reprimand for even floating such an idea.

 In fact it's MANDATORY for blocked users to join!

Karl, I'm waiting for your explanation of how my comment falls outside of this category of calmly discussed disagreement.  Somehow I don't see one forthcoming.

 Right. But rooperi is looking to outsource his own blockees. Whaddya think?

Geez, you gotta love this guy.

By the way, in the Royal Spam Society we've had a lot of fun, and nobody has ran home crying as a result.  Funny, that.

Oh, hats off.  This is truly the line Grand wanted to write.

Karl! You blocked him long before he called you that. Why?

Avatar of theoreticalboy

I called you that largely because you never had the decency to explain yourself.  You're claiming to be doing one thing, whilst acting in a completely contrary manner.  You are something that smells, alright.

Because I foresaw the same was about to happen in my topic.  I'm not stupid, I've seen many of his past posts.


Cool, a pre-emptive block Cool

Avatar of theoreticalboy

lol

So, rather than respond to my point, you decided you just knew how I was going to proceed, and decided to block me.

Yeah, I guess I am a pretty good judge of character, even on the internet.

Karl: "BTW, I've tried being civil to these trolls.  It just doesn't work."

Someone's pants are burning!

 

And I'm still waiting for you to explain where the hijack attempts are
