How do you propose we deal with stupid acting members? Specifically, crazymikey http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=34071&page=10&pp=20 Basically, this guy continues to argue a point that he can not support at all... and whenever somebody actually asks him a question, he changes the subject. On top of that he has been flat out lying about 'i know this, and that' when he has shown no actual knowledge of the subject besides what he has cut and post from other sites. Suggestions anyone?
Reminds me of a time not so long ago when a great plague under the guise of 'Whatsupyall' swept across our lands. Todays events are not as bad. Relax my friend and be true.
I'm just wondering if it's even worth it to respond to completely off topic posts and posts which don't actually address what people have said....
If that was aimed at me: The jist of what I said was just ignore anyone that may annoy you. It's not that bad and how hard is ignoring someone? Just pay attention to people who make good points. Just like we all did with Whatsup....until he got banned. If that was NOT aimed at me: If you don't think it's worth it, then don't. Simple as that.
Not aimed at you specifically, but people in general. Thanks for you response. I can't really see any reason to respond any more, so ignoring him is what I'll do.
Hmph. We ignore him and now he is just spamming that thread with cut and paste from other threads. Is that how Whatsupyall got banned?
Well, we can't get members banned for being stupid. We can't even get them banned for breaking the rules 100 times over, and over-riding a mod edit! So what's the fucking point in anything anymore?
We tolerate them with the same patience we tolerate annoying yet harmless people with psychological and developmental challenges. Or else you tell them the truth, and watch them run frightened. As to the notion of, "If you can't beat 'em ...," it's not that I object on any specific grounds, but I'm not sure that would make any sense to "them." Just keep asking pertinent questions; try to aim the stupid back toward the topic. Let them flail. It's almost entertaining to watch.

Believe me, stupid acting members are in a minority here. I frequent another board and there are so many of them, I left. Just ignore them but when there are loads, then it starts to get difficult i guess.
ROFL, The person whose claiming to call me "stupid acting" is the same person that says "You cannot triangulate without many lines of site" "Eye witness testimony is false" "Television reporters bring their own studio lights to press conferences" "All you need for press conferences is a soap-box and a microphone" "PR releases do not require thought" "How does a 19th century person work out something is travelling at Mach 15" "if 5% of the witnesses are unreliable, then they all must be" I won't say anymore on this topic. Just ignore the dunce called Persol.
