On a forum with perhaps a dozen regular posters I've succeeded in getting one to block me (apparently, the dreaded nuclear option
). That, it seems on the basis that I'm actually supposed to be a demented female PM stalker with 11 aliases. You can make your own mind up about the creator of that fantasy
. And another to either do the same, or just ignore me completely. The latter, somebody who pops in occasionally just it seems to have a - drive by
- poke at you. Several times labeling you "
A pathetic, lying piece of shit" (among other things). A serious man then. Now that Cyprus Grump and Tim have been gotten rid of, you are it seems the next target. If successful the forum will then be reduced to the correctly thinking half a dozen or so members. Purge complete.
Oddly enough, those - in yer face - insults to you aren't good enough to do the trick. Apparently though, I hold the secret. So, if you'd just follow my example?
If you're concerned, I can assure you that being invisible can have a positive side.
The answer why and the solution are simple. It's clearly a case with both of them that:

I must say that I am sad to see Tim Drayton and CyprusGrump go if that is the case.
As for the drive by, it really doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t lose any sleep or worry about it. People degrading others only degrade themselves.
When they call some a Lying piece of shit or pathetic, you have to ask yourself why? Well as you have seen in the last 4 and a bit years, innocent people have been marginalised and called the same things as well as many more things on top of that. Remember BREXIT? What about the last 4 years of Trump.
People are called that these days for merely exercising their right to vote or have an opinion. The problem with people who fling around abuse so Willy Billy is that they take issue because they disagree with the way you vote or the opinions you hold.
So they try to engage you in combat. They lose the moment they become insulting.
It is clear to me that respect has gone out the window. But we mustn’t allow them to get the better of us. And it’s far more important to maintain our individualism because. In the end, they reap what they themselves sow.
I actually take pity on them. Imagine being so hate filled in your life. It must be quite awful.
But regardless of the abuse I receive, I don’t dish it out. I might only respond once by calling them brain dead or an idiot. And my golden rule is I don’t do it unless they do it first. Then I let it go.
Yes I get the odd drive by. The chances of others getting the better of me though and me departing is next to nil. If I leave it is on my terms because I had enough or am bored.
Social media has literally exploded. There is more information and more interaction on other platforms. Forums like this are dying except for the older generations. Things like Facebook are more vibrant and full of people of a younger demographic and more colourful too with something there for everyone.
They are a billion dollar company for a reason.
