I got to page 6 and stopped reading.
Basically, heres what I saw happen:
People are trying to make an idiot leave.
- It's working
- Idiot says something dumb.
- Unaware forum members join thread.
- They make his stupidity into a joke.
- Their jokes now make the attempts to get him out fail because he feels accepted and funny/cool
This is beginning to be a real problem recently.
People need to stop making idiots feel accepted by being idiots themselves. Stop working against those of us who try and keep the forums clean.
