Barry, and other Moderators, and fellow GW fans.
For 4 years, on this site this 1 person has daily violated the rules of this site, by personally attacking other posters. For much longer on the prior site, ultimately leading to its demise. Talking about many many years there as well.
Not asking this thread or any other thread to be "locked" when it happens, asking that is stops by taking actual action against the daily offender A very long time poster (Ziik) was banned for foolishly responding to the personal attacks. How about taking action against the actual attacker. Same person,day after day, year after year.
It degrades the whole GW fan community to allow it go on
Thank you in advance
Sorry folks but I'm not about to let this go completely ignored. The combination of hubris, nerve and foolishness behind this post deserves some type of response.
The Dude could not have described himself more perfectly when he writes "same person, day after day, year after year." Though in his case, I would have added "same repetitive post after same repetitive post." While he would like action taken against me for violating the rules of this board by attacking other posters (which in and of itself is inaccurate as he is the sole poster I have a problem with), he completely ignores how he violates the rules of this board on a daily basis. The most differentiating aspect of this board which was intended to be a major improvement over the former one was to put an end to the same person posting under multiple names. Nevertheless, The Dude just can't himself. He posts under at least two additional names that I've figured out, and perhaps even more that I've yet been able to solve. It really takes a special kind of slimebag to call for action taken against me for breaking rules while he himself pollutes this site with his nonsense every day. I would say that he should feel ashamed of himself except I fully realize that he has no shame.
Yet what he does under other names pales in comparison to what he does as The Dude. There is no reason whatsoever why the readers of this board should be subjected to hundreds of posts pertaining to how The Dude feels about Mark Few, Duke basketball, Shaka Smart, Dan Hurley, midmajors getting shafted when it comes to receiving at large bids, or Leonard Hamilton (though not too many posts about him during this 9-23 season; I'm sure we can chalk this up to being nothing more than a coincidence). I am well aware that because I am one of the few here who speak out against this, The Dude does this for no other reason than to antagonize me. This is the very definition of what a troll does. I will guarantee that there isn't a single person who visits this site even occasionally who does not alreaxdy know how The Dude feels about each of these subjects. His repetitive posts bring virtually no new information to the discussion but again, they are not intended to prove any points or win any debates. They only serve to antagonize.
There are a few others who have expressed similar complaints about this. Honestly, I am surprised that more people haven't. Easier I suppose to stay out of it and not get involved, I get this. At the same time, the only chance we have of ridding ourselves of this troll, or perhaps more realistically, to get him to cut out the repetitive posts which serve no other purpose but to antagonize, is if we do speak up. This can be done privately to BGF, DMVPiranha or to Sons of Liberty, or expressed publicly here.
Nobody here should be able to get away with purposefully attempting to piss people off and then cry foul when they feel they are being attacked. Want the perceived attacks to go away? Then stop attempting to purposefully piss people off. It's really that simple.
