Me too really. I'm not trying to drag you in.
It's a joke that a lot of people make, though, when they don't understand that there is an aggressor and a relatively normal person. If we ended up in a room I'm not sure who else would come back out. Have to be very careful though because he will interpret such innuendo as physical threat, even though we're about 4000 miles apart. The moderators are in general very good here, with a lot of common sense; but some staff are very gullible.
More fabrication, no backup. Your "he only gets the best of me all the time because he has staff secretly supporting him" has always been laughable on one side of it, pitiable on the other. The one mod that might have supported me, Batgirl, had far too much integrity to ever bend the rules to protect me (or anyone)...not that I ever would have asked.
Sorry, he just attacks people who disagree with him. If I were unintelligent enough to share his views, me and him would be bosom buddies. Thankfully, that is not the case.
There are three possible courses of action. Reporting him for abuse doesn't work because he has a friend. Ignoring him gives him the floor, which he will try to dominate. That's how he drives people off threads. If more people would report him for abuse, that might help but the best way is to meet him head on and at least explain the situation to others. If you cannot see what's happening, then you wouldn't be seeing that which the majority see very clearly. playerafar has got it completely right ... the trolling is actually strategic, to try to drive people off the forums if he disagrees with them. He doesn't have much intellectual ability, so he can't tell that most of us know that he can't make a reasoned argument.
Complete and utter fabrication. Let's be clear here...I don't get actioned by mods because I don't break the ToS. You, on the other hand, have been muted so many times it's not even funny at this point. People should consider the source when accusations are made, and once again, with zero backup.
