blockchip thrives off of stuffting on any thread lord tony EVER posts in

[IkeTheGeneric]

I have to give the "stop responding to blockchip for the love of god" argument some credibility, you guys could have chosen not to be as reactive to his stuff as you were, possibly making the whole mess even worse. Blasting the poor sod with ridicule and insults because he's too arrogant and stubborn to learn when not to post is completely stupid if the whole point was to make him forget off

I agree that he does go out of his way to respond to tony. It's very clear and he can deny it all he wants, he is trying to incite tony much like tony tries to incite him. It's a recursive thing that won't end if you people keep giving the two of them the spotlight every time they stuff their pants at each other.

Y'all keep saying this stuff trying to imply that what Blockchip is doing is actual comprehensive intellectual debate and not just line after line of frivolous garbage. An argument usually starts with an idea, has a central point, and ends with a refutation. Blockchip's idea (and apparently your idea) of an argument is, self admittedly, "Give me the last word or I'm going to drop kick the topic off it's rails"

Yeah, but this is why ignoring him would help.

When you see someone trying to "derail," you simply ignore it and go on. The biggest issue with Blockchip isn't the fact that he attempt to derail, but that we allow him to do so. Whenever Blockchip says something even remotely related to Tony, several users tend to swoop in and go: "oh hey look it's Blockchip hating Tony again! whoops!" Then Tony comes in, says some witty one-liner, and what do you know, the thread's derailed.

Tony's not the one doing this. It would help if Blockchip didn't post in Tony's threads. However, this kind of stance is completely ridiculous. You can't just say: "we shouldn't have this guy in another guy's thread," because maybe, the guy doesn't even want to participate in the drama that is currently being perpetuated, yet other users throw them back into it.

I'm certain if we didn't just bash Blockchip all the time with the ideology that: "Tony's being attacked and Blockchip's a stuff," we might have less of these dramas and actually important things to do.

I'm not denying that Blockchip is a stuff, either. He is. He could easily stop right now, and we could all just ignore the fact that he previously attacked Tony every chance he got. However, we're aware that he's not going to change at this point, so maybe we could work, ourselves, to make the community better for one day and pretend Blockchip doesn't exist. We're the ones derailing threads, not him.

I actively try to ignore Blockchip, I only engage him when he posts something blatantly in-comprehensive and it's easy to pin him to the point where he wont reply because I'm slowly building a case file of examples of him doing exactly that. Unless you're trying to tell me that we should stop criticizing him in this drama thread because that just doesn't apply, drama is a separate place where Blockchip's ridiculous tantrums are actually considered on-topic (which is why he purposefully refrains from stuffposting in drama because it doesn't have the same effect). With some general success the purpose of drama is to change people's behavior via social pressure.

I respect your logic but it's fundamentally flawed. Even when people respond to Blockchip's malicious rhetoric in a relatively non-inflammatory manner he still comes back with stuffty behavior. For your idea to 'work' you need to reach every single active poster on this forum with your mandate and convince them that their personal way of engaging other users is incorrect and inflammatory when realistically they aren't even the problem. To put it simply: it's not going to work, the amount of effort it takes to readjust an entire population of people in accordance to one person in that population is disproportionately loving massive compared to readjusting the problem individual in the first place.

However, we're aware that he's not going to change at this point, so maybe we could work, ourselves, to make the community better for one day and pretend Blockchip doesn't exist. We're the ones derailing threads, not him.

This is essentially the same thing as saying "wearing unattractive clothes will prevent rape". It makes sense but it's victim blaming and isn't actually correct. Blockchip is an unknown variable and you can't be certain that actually giving into his demands wont result in him just finding another way to find validation to continue bad behavior. There needs to be a core solution, not a temporary fix. But I ultimately agree with you. Obviously if everyone on the forum just pretended he didn't exist there would be no reason for him to be here and he would leave. But it's never gonna happen, so it's really not even worth mentioning in this thread, but to your credit it would work as a reminder in topics that aren't directly related (but still affected) by the issue.

blockchip a stuff but escalating the problem like everyone did in inh's thread (wherein block asked a reasonable question and obtained an entire page in retaliation, some of which was just 'forget you roosterchip') is bad. like, yes, he posts a lot and does a lot of stupid things but cluttering up threads just to get your hit in isnt the answer

i could probably find more examples but that'd be an endeavour

remember the blo clan topic?

no I dont

Blockchip stuff up blo so badly they kicked him out then he continued to stuff on it.

Blockchip stuff up blo so badly they kicked him out then he continued to stuff on it.

Actually, half of Blockchip's apparent 'stuffting on threads' is contributed by other users preemptively stuffting on him.

"half" is not a good ratio

"half" is not a good ratio

More? Less?

[kanew2000]

I'm more talking about how everyone sees blockchip do a dumb and all try to get a word in, which inevitably dissolves the original topic into more blockchip circle jerking that we've all seen before

basically: don't do a repeat of inh's thread, that sucks

[Path]

I like to think of blockchip as an extremely autistic alligator and the forums as a couple of kids with sticks. The naturally thrill-seeking forum members will see blockchip's posts and decide to poke him with a stick a couple times. Then, when he lashes out in his 'wall of quote' autism death roll, the forums decides to feign victim and shoulder all of the blame onto blockchip. However, they internally writhe with newly-sought attention as their arms are painfully twisted off for the others to see.
