Is it possible to get a user blocked?

[GeekJedi]

What amazes me is the guy comes out of nowhere, shits all over the place, and then demands that we do things his way. All I can say is my time here has improved thanks to the ignore function. I can't see his nonsense.

The funniest part is the guy's lack of self-awareness. Most people would stop for a minute after seeing all the carnage here and think that maybe perhaps it wasn't a good idea to barge into someone's house and be an idiot. Not our buddy. He's convinced that the rest of the world is the problem.

Oh well, they all eventually get banned or bored.

[jakeroot]

I have to give dzlsabe some credit though. Within a month, he completely turned the midwest forums upside down and turned damn near all users against him. That's an impressive feat.

That said, I don't think banning or blocking him will prove anything. Give him time to come around. Worst case scenario, he ragequits because no one will interact with him.

[english si]

Technically, at the time he sent that, it was already Thanksgiving on Guam and the other Marianas (U.S. possessions), and for our servicemembers stationed in Japan.

Or it could have been a month-and-a-half late comment from Canada!

The funniest part is the guy's lack of self-awareness.

How self-aware is the average 9 year old?

Not our buddy.

He's not your buddy, guy.

Yeah look how many times that worked for NE2.

IMO I think this guy makes NE2 look like a choirboy at his absolute worse.

[Alps]

At least I don't act like him. Sure, I may be annoying, I may do a theme, but once I'm told of my mistakes, I quickly stop it. I guess you could call me a different ethanman, or crucify and insult me as much as you want. I just don't care.

You're actually young, and you're willing to learn. We know you'll grow up and figure out when to post and when to look stuff up and not post. Yeah, it's a bit tiring that you're often wrong, but when I was 11 I was often wrong online too. I'm willing to tolerate it in you a lot more than a resident geezer in this thread.

NE2 is intelligent and contributes meaningful discussion. He antagonizes the stupid and the wrong, but he doesn't himself post stupid and wrong things.

So Ive posted stupid and wrong things? Please cite.

Well, for starters, you forgot to put an apostrophe in "I've", which is a pretty stupid mistake to make...

[english si]

Well, for starters, you forgot to put an apostrophe if "I've", which is a pretty stupid mistake to make...

Not as silly as not being able to spell "in"

I make a point of avoiding excess punctuation, if it bugs spider butt hair spliters (from now on referred to as SBHS), all the better.
So other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

I blame that on the fact I was tired.

This is why people hate you.

[dzlsabe]

@tribar-
First off, look closely. I didnt make the comment that I think you attribute to me. The UK guy did. Masterful faux news job though. The SAST spambots would be proud.

I doubt people hate me because of punctuation. HATERS gonna HATE. Some people arent happy unless they (and everyone around them) are miserable.

I expect SOME people to hate me. What is it ? 20? 30? Now if you could cite specific instances (replies) of why you hate me, bring it.

Just trying to get more concrete poured in just the right places...TOMORROW. While were young. Trying to turn this place into some semblance of London or NYC, instead of the "national whipping bitch" it is now.

If that makes me an "Antagonistic asshole know-it-all (with a) holier-than-thou attitude"? OK.
Probably not holier. And I only "know something" cuz I actually show up at the meetings, get the updates, read the Fing newspapers. Actually converse and listen to PEOPLE. Any attitude beats no attitude (apathy).

I think we all should use the ignore feature on here. It really works.  You can't see his posts as it will show up that you ignored him.  Only that he posts, and in blue "Show me the posts" to give you the option to override.

I cannot see his nonsense either, and it prevents me from wanting to interact with the dude as it seems all you do is say one thing to him (and just one little thing to him) and he responds to you with something.

Everyone should use the feature as its in your own profile and next to buddy list.  Open up the ignore button, and viola you block him out. 

To me this guy is not worth the effort to argue with and like geek gedi said, his time improved and I can tell you the same for me.  This guy is going to lynch himself sooner or later without our help, so not interacting would be best for all of us here.

[dzlsabe]

The carnage? Get over it. I put a small hole in your boys stuffy bubble and its like I ran over your puppy with a road roller.

The topic in question was DEAD from MAY to OCT, when I posed an obvious, innocent question.

On the other side of the coin, is there a way to block posters that grunt inane worthless three-word replies continually? If youre going to put your two-cents worth in, fine. If its really zero cents, stay in bed.

Also ensure "Hide messages posted by members on my ignore list" is checked in your Profile - Look and Layout section, otherwise adding someone to your ignore list is virtually useless.

[tribar]

Too bad the ignore feature does not work on Tapatalk. I can still see all of his posts there.

Done already.  The only problem is when someone else quotes any of his posts, it comes up still in purple on the other user's post. 

I guess nothing is full proof.  However, at least I do not see his posts firsthand which is good enough.

[jakeroot]

I don't know why you guys are trying to ignore him. I think he's hilarious!

It is quite comedic, gives me a good chuckle

I had this same issue with Randy Hersh on MTR. But the problem was compounded there because he'd make up a new name every time I plonked him, which had me continually killfiling his various identities. And then people would quote him and I'd have to see his rantings.

[roadman65]

I do not think this guy would invent new usernames, however after reading this he might just do that.

However, I heard a man named Blawp used to do that here.  Federal Route One was one of his aliases that he used on here, however no matter what name you use your m/o is still the same which would give that particular user away right away.  In that case ignoring someone will not work.  Lets just hope this guy gets tired and moves on.

[jakeroot]

The easiest way to ban someone is to cut off communication with them. Just stop fucking replying to quoting him. It's that god damn easy. You're failure to resist the urge to respond is your own issue.

Besides, what's the big deal with him having an opinion on a matter? We're all entitled to an opinion, no matter how off the wall it is.
