Is it just me, or is Dana strangely quiet?

but seriously.....that would kind of suck, wouldn't it?

Sure it would suck, but how many people tried to steer him in the right direction?

I still think you're being too hard on him. As he pointed out rightly, you all had the option to not read the threads he started.

Yes I found some of them annoying too, but then, there are things about other posters I find annoying too. They either get 'ignored' or I just disregard what they post.

It's not that hard.

Ali, he personally attacked you. At least the way I read it.
I am quite happy to ignore posters, especially if other Dwellars engage with them, but imo RK crossed the line. Many times.

It's just the internet SG. He can type whatever words he likes. I know the things he says can come off pretty nasty, but I guess I try to put myself in his shoes to understand why, and believe me, the times he's said stuff that I've considered to be inappropriate, he's heard about it. Just not always out in the open for all to see.

I just think that we all have a choice to ignore those we don't like, or we can engage in smart arse reparte because for some reason we get off on it.

I think the ignore feature is great. It's made me much happier over the last few weeks.

He refused to believe it wasn't all about him, and behaved as such; until nobody gave a shit about him except out of pity. And that's pathetic.

I think he would prefer to go find someplace where maybe it really could be all about him. There are places, with weaker character, where his high ego / strong character plus unending pity party would really go over. It was all played out, here, IMO.
