And writing shit like I'm Not Going To Read This
on a post just to get a rise out of people is equally banal, actually taking the time to do this indicates a flaw somewhere or other. Yes, people have a right to critise. People do not, however, have a right to set out on a bullying campaign just for the sake of it.

This is getting very old. People should grow up and use their ignore button instead of putting I'm Not Going To Read This or other such mindless drivel on the board.

Last thing I'm saying about it.

it's not a bullying campaign
it's a peaceful protest. If there were an "I don't like this" button then it would be clicked, but as that is not the case...

personally I don't mind what people post, the lies can be just entertaining as the truths, it's the hypocritical way that people jump to other's defence.

Spanky's response below does him far more credit than the representation of someone like LizardKing.

Peaceful protest?
Attempting to force someone to stop posting on a free website by constant harrassment? We've all got a right to read and post on here, Spanky's posts are popular judging by where he usually ends up on Best Of page. If you can't accept that the MAJORITY of the readers like his posts then thats an issue with you. If you refer to Scaryduck you'll see the Mods aren't happy about this sort of behavior either. Sorry to have to tell you this but you do not own the internet. And this site in particular is available to all. How about an end to all this now? Getting very very OLD.

I don't particularly think it counts as harrassment
as plenty have said, if you don't like it then don't read it. The internet is open to all, and if some want to express themselves by saying they don't like, or aren't reading, someone else's posts then who are you, or anyone else, to say they can't?

what is worse in fact, is people complaining to the mods on the behalf of others to get someone banned.
Saying you don't like a post, or aren't reading it is hardly a banning offence.

Fair enough
but declaring that anyone who follows Spanky's posts and likes them is a twat is out of order too. Works both ways.

not going to argue with you there
my points aren't really related to the original poster or the content
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 29 Jan 2010, 11:59, closed)

But when there is a well defined group of regulars who repeatedly (ad nauseum)
go on and on about how shit another poster is, it does become a form of bullying. That and it's just plain weird how some people get so fucking worked up about one person's usually very popular posts. I don't get it.

We should save our rants and raves about important stuff like how the government is hiding real UFO stuff and how all of our leaders are actually clones of Joseph Stalin. You know, the real stuff that really matters.

I suspect Stalin clones would do a better job
they would have better moustaches too.
