Who thinks AdidasBas3 is a jerk?!

This guy posts to the newsgroup, hiding behind his little screen name, thinking that he can just lash out at everyone! Now who here hates this guy? I know I do. Please, I'd like to hear your comments!!!!

C'mon Toni, I gave you more credit for brains than that. It has to do with South Park because that is the name of this ng, and this adidas guy is posting here. I have tried to ignore him, per the demands of the censors, who keep replying to the trolls, telling people not to reply to the trolls, but that is akin to letting your children run wild, hoping that if you ignore them, they will behave. I have gone so far as to post my real name and addy for this guy to respond to, but he continues his juvenile tirade. It has been the practice in many ng's I visit for all the regulars to blast trollers like this. It causes many a small flame war, but the key word is "small". The trollers soon tire of having to defend their every word, or get embarrassed enough by educated debate, that they soon leave. Some do come back when they think they have enough brains to defend themselves, but this is rare. If all the regulars would come out from under their beds, and take care of these trollers, this may get rid of them for awhile. Another thing, these ng's foster friendships among the regulars, and as a friend, sometimes I would like to discuss something besides the ng's main theme with my friends. Do you have friends based solely upon one trait or characteristic? They get boring after awhile. I would rather find friends who share one, or more, common interests, and indulge in conversations where I may learn something new or get a laugh out of something I've never heard before. I would have never heard about South Park if someone I consider a friend in another newsgroup had not told me about it, even though it was off-topic for that ng. I hope this helps explain why someone is upset about this adidas guy, and is making his/her feelings known to the people in here who he/she may feel an affinity for. Marvin

Marvin- you're a cool guy so I'm gonna let your comment about me having more brains than that go. Ok, first off, if this person is really annoying you then simply put him on your killfile. It's like, what good does it do to constantly complain about adidas? You can try a couple of times to politely tell them that just because one can say what they want in Usenet doesn't mean they lose all forms of common decency for others. If you notice that they still act like jerks then go right ahead and plonk them. You don't see the crap they write so you don't have to deal with it. Whether they are actual trolls or plain assholes, killfiling, IMO, is the way to go.

As far as sticking to South Park as topics, I'm sure you noticed that many times threads take on a life of their own and soon end up having nothing to do with SP. That's well and good- it happens. I've done that myself a lot of times. However, new posts that have nothing to do with the show are a waste of space IMO *shrug*

Sorry about that slip, Toni. I really like your posts also. I guess after the "Choose your champion for Armageddon" thread, I assumed that South Park was just a reason for all of us to get together and speak about whatever we wanted to. As you can see from the time that I posted this, I'm getting ready for school, but I had to stop by and get updated on SP activities. And yes, adidasbas finally made my killfile <PLONK>. See ya' later! Marvin
