I am proud to be a member of Tobin's ignore list. Which makes me wonder why he clicked on this thread...

I think as Stak said, people just get tired of reporting ldsfaqs. Also, he's likely on ignore for a lot of posters.

I do know that liz always responded to my flags of his personal attack posts. My only concern was the scenario, already mentioned somewhere on this thread, where If I recall correctly, liz had given ldsfags a time out/suspension of a few weeks which was then reversed by someone else.

You are rather new here. The board has seen threats of lawsuits galore. The eruptions are mean spirited and looney. This is what happens when those that abuse take it too far. The eruptions have been quite brutal for a discussion board.

I think that this board is one big stress release for those who live in real time. One can unload crap onto someone else and then turn off the computer and relax until tomorrow comes and the process begins again.

LOL Let 'em sue. I don't know why people are so worried about lawsuits. Unless you maliciously and repeatedly libel and slander someone, I really don't think they'll get very far with any suit. Besides, most people have a degree of anonymity outside of DCP and a few others. And in those cases, DCP and others have means of very publicly responding to their critics that go far beyond this forum.

I don't think I've read a single ldsfaqs post in a very long time. He was neither intelligent, polite, nor interesting back when he was Lee Universe and all his other sockpuppets. The best way to deal with a crazy is to ignore them.

Seriously, who cares what the state bird of Minnesota thinks?

Agreed. He is just white noise to me.

Faqs is above the board rules because so many people have him on ignore. Few report him because so many have chosen to not read his posts.
