Even the people i disagree with greatly at least try to contribute. do you seriously think abusing everyone who disagree with you is a valid contribution?

You haven't been following this little saga at all, have you? I do 'move on' - only to be once again ... time and again ... hobbled by this idiot arriving to smash and vandalise the topic being discussed so that once again the attention is drawn to himself and the subject of the thread becomes a distant and secondary issue.

On several occasions I have stated my position clearly and forcefully about gregg's persistently destructive thread-derailing behaviour - but all to no avail.

And so I have been left with no alternative but to ramp-up the issue via a poll to draw more attention to this white-anting behaviour of his. It's not about me, Aquascoot - it's about the threads being shot to blazes one after the other like clay pigeons at a shoot.

no, i agree with you Herb.
there should be a forum control feature where you can stop a members input from appearing on your feed.

But there is, dear. No one can change your post.

Herbie is demanding control of an entire thread. His next trick will be to demand that everyone agree with his proclamations, or else.

In the fullness of time, of course.

Its not about agreement or disagreement, its about spamming with no argument or opinion ventured. Its just junk. On most forums, junk comments and threads would be locked or deleted and persistent transgressors warned and possibly banned.

Indeed.

I've warned everyone about Herbie.

Now people are starting to see his true colours.

Life is good.

Absolutely. Gweggy is determined to interfere with any thread or post Herbie submits. His one line 'put-downs'; basically just stupid questions with no logical purpose are designed to irritate and cause a response in a like manner which he then capitalises on to cast the blame upon the writer.

You've misunderstood me.

It's gregg's arriving to destroy every thread I make a comment in that is the issue here.

He is in effect censoring thread after thread of any further comment once he has made his arrival. It's not fair to any of us, let alone me.

This is either a discussion board or it isn't. It's time Freediver made up his mind what he wants it to be. So far, it seems Freediver doesn't give a tinker's cuss that he has a destructive pest on the loose - and at his cost.

It's painful to see Herbert. He would have been banned permanently a few years ago, but someone with the controls must like him. The gay attacks on Bobby also drag this forum down, but there are so many annoying people here at various times, that it's probably become too difficult to control them.

You have to rise above this Herbert and build up more immunity and ignore him.

Thank you for your input, mantra - but you too are barking up the wrong tree just as Aquascoot did.

After tracking me down he'll then make an ad hominem comment which then draws the attention of fellow-pests who arrive to help play the game of dismantling the topic.

He doesn't stop once he's made his 'opening' gambit. He will then repeatedly insert diversionary ad hominems until neither myself nor anyone else gives a damn about the topic anymore.

I've tried the 'ignoring him' strategy many times, but back he comes with more ad hominem in the same thread until there's simply no point in carrying on.

I'm pleased to say I now have 3 (so far) other good-looking forum boards lined up for me for when I finally 'jump ship' from here.

That is correct. You've continually criticised Herbie to everybody for no reason other than you are a f##king bully.

Indeed, "Life is good" for you providing you have succeeded in accomplishing your goal of infuriating him.

Have you noticed how many conservatives specialise in derailing any topic they don't like ?

And then we have a guy who posts the daily telegraph every day ? How bizarre is that.

It would be nice if everyone was nicer to each other however in this case as far as I can see Herb gives about as much as he cops.

In any discussion board the best way to reduce that kind of behaviour is to fill it with BETTER. That requires people like you to actually be here.

When it comes to such a sorry pass as this pest has done with undermining the integrity of the board - then the solution is a boot up the arse and a One Way ticket to Limbo.

I criticise him for being a racist troll.

Why? Because he's a racist troll. Simple fact.

I dont really think that being "nice' as such is important.
One of the big big traps is to end up in an echo chamber of self congratulation.
One sees this with the political parties.
If you visit the green senators facebook pages , any dissenting comments are deleted and it is nothing but an exercise in syncophants trying to appease their anxiety by group think.
How do i know?
I questioned them on live cattle exports and they deleted my comments.

So niceness is not what we are after.
Niceness is just a chode emotion anyway.

The discussion should be about challenging and growth (as all relationships should be).

as an example, i find the comments of a Karmal well worth reading and i have changed my opinion on some topics due to this.

Greg probably has a reasonable brain. he should use it to engage and present his arguement.

No one (i hope) wants to just read post after post of "complaining" which seems to be some posters default position.

Negative neurosis and throwing yourself a pity party is , indeed , unhelpful.

We dont need cry babies who turn every topic into a cry baby topic.
start a thread called the Wambulance and they can post there.

i call out the whingers and complainers because they deserve better.

Our current PM seems to have cottoned onto this.

When he says that australia is an exciting place to be and lets get excited about things like the FTA i concur.

negative neurotics need to be beaten down as the white ants of progress Wink
