How is there supposed to be a "mandate" when everyone is told to ignore people like him? Ignore? Right. Most people on the old forum tried to ignore him for the years that he was there. That sure did a lot of good. Ok, so Lina wasn't around to see much of what he was doing. But, do you think she would have banned him when she did if there hadn't been any conflict, because everyone was 'ignoring him'?
This time around...at your 'suggestion'...I put him on my foe list, because I couldn't just ignore his crap...just like I can't ignore the troll in "Inflammatory Writ." A number of people have told me many times over the years to stop fighting with scherado. I wasn't fighting with him. In the beginning, I tried to reason with him. Once it became clear that 'reasoning' was without hope, I began taunting, baiting, harassing, provoking...anything damn thing I could to think of to get him to react in a sufficiently obnoxious manner that would finally get someone with authority to do something about it...even if it got me in hot water too. It's pretty damn pathetic that so few people are willing to do anything to fix what's broken. "Ignore the troll and he'll go away." It wasn't the troll who was going away, not if you believe the comments from the people here who have said that they stayed away because of him. Yea, let's just ignore...and then ignore some more.
