Respectful moderation

Ah the self righteousness continues with a flavour of complaining about 'snideness' while being snide.

By the point I had banned that version of Reiku, I think we were up to about 5th sockpuppet? This is after he threatened the site and posted a slurry of abusive and offensive comments.

I'd have to say that anyone who makes it their life work to disrupt and troll a forum for years needs some psychological help - scratch that, he needs a hell of a lot of help. Especially one who takes it upon himself to lie repeatedly, deny his own behaviour until challenged, lie some more, make some more threats against this site and this site's security and then lie some more about it, deny some more, and create yet more sock puppets. To be honest, he got way more than he deserved in regards to respect. He deserved and deserves none whatsoever.

Do I think he needs psychological help? After his performance that day and this ongoing saga for the last few years? Yes.

I also told him that he was not wanted here and to stop coming back here.

If you have an issue with the way that I treated a serial pest and troll who threatens the safety of this site, then I'd suggest you take it up with the admin who spent quite a bit of time trying to block all of his IP's from this site after he threatened this site. So good luck with that complaint there.

And if you have a problem with me, I'd suggest you take it up with me instead of this pathetic waste of time you have decided to embark upon by these stupid spammy threads trying to demand politeness and respect when you are incapable of providing said politeness or respect.

As for how this benefits this site..

Reiku's behaviour and constant trolling of this site and its members has resulted in our losing several members, with quite a few requesting permanent bans to escape him. So what do you think the answer is to that question? Should we be respectful to a forum pest and troll who threatens this site and to the detriment of this site?

Respect is earned. Reiku has gone out of his way to abuse any respect anyone on this site (except for you of course) may have given him. He certainly lost the very last shreds when he threatened this site.

As I said, you have a problem with how I handled that ban and the many many others that came before and after that one, take it up with me or with Admin.

 

Glad to see we weren't the only ones noticing that in the backroom.. I mean he ignores all the other ban messages and goes after just mine. Kind of obvious.

Clueless demanded a policy discussion. When he got it, he whined and ran away. He demands politeness and respect, when he as been pathologically incapable of providing it - from the rude, unwanted and snide pm's he sends us, to these many threads discussing it as a policy - well no.. his discussing it as policy while inviting mods to participate and then complaining and whining when we do.

Of course there is an agenda. There always has been. From the many hours he spends sending PM's rallying the troops to then culminating in these threads when anything happens. This is what he feeds on.

To complain about lack of respect to a member who for over a matter of hours, created over half a dozen sock puppets and abused staff and then threatened this site and this site's security and reputation.. Those straws must be clutched at of course. Apparently it's more beneficial to sciforums when a member abuses and threatens this site and its members, leading to many valued members leaving in disgust. Well I guess it does for someone who spends more time studying the ban list than he does participating in the forum.

 

Kind of over it, to be honest. This thread has been a blatant and obvious self righteous display from the start. You're telling me that I'm wrong and not helping by telling it like it is? Is it more respectful to lie?

When someone is rude to my face, I'm not going to get on my knees and beg respect.. I'm treating clueless as he has treated me over the years. He knows exactly what I am talking about, so do the many of us who have been unfortunate enough to get his rude and unwelcome and unwanted PM's over the years.

He demanded a policy discussion and complained when he got it. In fact, he refused to speak to me when I tried to discuss these very issues with him. Complained that I had responded.

Did he even think to ask what had led to that message in that ban list? Oh no, that wouldn't suit, would it? After all, BIG BAD EVIL BELLS must always be in the wrong, mustn't she? Best to just assume and make a snide and very pointed thread - come on - why do you think he's refused to discuss this with me when I tried to speak to him about it? He made it very clear from the start. It would not curry favours with the faithful if he did, would it?

Enough is enough. And I'm telling it like it is. If he has an issue with the way I handled a serial pest who has threatened this site and abused members and staff alike, after years of similar behaviour, then he can take it up with me or file a complaint with Admin. This whole "aside from Bells" crap he's got going on.

Well enough. He never intended to have a policy discussion. If he had, he wouldn't have complained when he got said policy discussion.

 

Oh, you've said? Well, how silly of me, why didn't we just listen to you and permaban! I mean you have all the answers, don't you? The great clueless!

Years. We've tried for years.

Years. And you demanding that I show respect to such an individual after he threatened this site and abused its members and staff and just permaban? It's laughable. We've been permabanning him for years.

You haven't suggested diddly squat.

The first bans just on that day alone, we asked him to please stop. We were polite and respectful. By like the 6th or so sockpuppet within an hour and after the threats and abuse, really, you want us to be polite and respectful in a ban message after all of this?

But you won't even discuss that will you? You won't comment on the requests that he stop in said ban messages and the posts to him, even in the middle of his threats and abuse.

Next time you want to know why we post what we sometimes post in the ban list, just ask. Instead of rubbish stunts like you just tried to pull.
