For as much grief as The Virgin gets on here for being a "troll", you're the one baiting him into an argument, whether you realize it or not (which I'm pretty sure you do).

It's because I don't care for his presence here and I don't care to deal with him or his response to me. I truly don't. I'll ignore him like I always have when he does. If he ignores my post then I'll respect him for that. If he wants to argue with me then I won't respond, like I said.

I was trying to communicate something to Il Duce along the lines of "leave it the fuck alone" so that TV might stop cluttering MB with irritating nonsense. He makes no sense and I don't like it. That's just my opinion.

However, I know TV will stay and continue to spew bullshit and as long as others (such as Il Duce) egg him on. He might do that no matter what, I don't know.

The reason I bothered to post what I did is because he (TV) annoys me. I don't care at all about his musical (or other) opinions but almost all of his posts still manage to annoy me in some way and, unfortunately for me, I notice it.

Trust me, I won't argue with him about anything ever. His posts just bug me and I guess it also bugs me that Il Duce responds to just about everything he says. That's all.

Those who frequently find The Virgin's presence on these boards to be more disturbing than it's worth, consider adding him to your ignore list. Just click User CP and under Settings & Options, you'll find Edit Ignore List. There you can add him.

The Virgin, I won't be able to read any reply you write me directly, but you're the first member I've ever put on ignore. Congrats!

Cool, thanks tore. I didnt even know you could do that. Does that mean all previous posts will not be seeable as well?

I still don't understand all the hate for The Virgin. I find that he brings some much needed levity to the boards. His musical opinions and tastes may not be as evolved as other peoples', but he still stands behind them, which is respectable.

neither of the options. on the other hand, i believe you're the one who'se being the ignorant, attention seeker. never have i made responses or mentioned you in my posts, and now you say negative things on me? now who'se the attention seeker?



you don't care enough to make a hypothesis but you do care enough to write insults? you're really something huh?



see? over and over and over again, you're trying to insult me. and luckily, you'll get away with it cause of the very plain reason, they'll side on you.



i envy you cause you can say a million times those insults to me and no one would think you're trolling. on the other hand, when it's me, i bet i'll get series of infraction by now.



thanks oojay.



that would be a very smart choice. unfortunately, you're not.



you might just want to keep your opinion by yourself, you just sounded stupid saying that.



if spewing means standing to my musical beliefs and taste and staying true to what i really love, musically, then yes, i'm spewing.



newsflash! a lot of people annoys me here too, do respond or create posts saying so? no. cause i've got more self-respect than that.



good.



thank you. that's far better than receiving stupid insults.



thanks...!

So i'm going to stop posting altogether until he's removed.

Well, that's your prerogative. Unfortunately, he's not directly violating the rules, there is an impasse in regards to whether or not he's trolling, and any judgment made on the situation will result in an uprising.

I'm sorry to see you go.

Has there been a vote, or at least some sort of deliberation by the mods on the issue?

This reminds me of the infamous coryallen2 / mirrorball95 situation of '09, which may have been before your time. Basically those two guys were banned for doing the same thing as The Virgin. They trolled around, made hundreds of pointless and irritating posts per day, and subtly incited and provoked other members, seemingly for their own amusement and to attract attention to themselves.

Not only do I think the banning of The Virgin would be sanctioned by the majority of seasoned members, but I also think that it could bring some much needed consistency to the moderation of this site.

I personally don't think it's fair to let him stay on, having contributed nothing but detriment since his joining us, while other more contributing members continue to be banned for questionable offenses.

In conclusion, I support the movement to ban The Virgin, based on precedent that has previously been set in similar cases.

Really cool of you guys...

Sorry.

I have a policy against talking about people behind their backs, he should know that I don't like the way he has treated his stay here. I'd rather him know he's doing wrong and that I think he deserves a ban than him just wake up one day and be banned and clueless.

I'm sorry you don't approve, but I just feel like it's better to get this stuff out in the open and convey my feelings to others; rather than bottling up hate and holding grudges. Then we'd all just be a bunch of Il Duce's.

You know, there's a reason for that. He's pretty much offended everyone on the forum save for a few people. We're sick of it, he becomes the topic of every thread he goes in and it ruins everything. His posts are outlandishly stupid and someone always replies and it becomes a debate of idiotic proportions. I'm done replying to him, but if he honestly stays I think a lot of good members will just leave the forum altogether.

The Virgin isn't hurting anyone. If you don't want to see his posts, add him to your ignore list. And go ahead and add me to it as well, because anyone who wants to start voting off members like an episode of Survivor isn't worth my time.
