eele - less about being his messiah, more about sharing what is ruining what used to be a fun place..
and for me, that's the 7 replies per post that BF gets.. It's pointless, childish, feeds whatever strange enjoyment he gets from it and just wastes space making the thread annoying to read..
so that's it.. I'm coming from a selfish point of view, rather than trying to be a protective older brother to someone..
But I'm guessing that the drop off in both number of posters and number of posts that I'm not alone in my views...
I see your point, mate, and I do tend to agree in part. And at times, some of the responses to BF are borderline bullying (and I'm sure I've been guilty of it, too).
But BF will be BF - we can't change him. Why other trying?
And yet he continually deems it funny to poke the proverbial bear to get a response he knows he's certain to receive.
He's either a troll, or a simpleton. And having seen some of his work on other parts of the forum, I tend to lean towards troll - he's capable of intelligent, rational thought, but he has this childish need to push people's buttons to get attention. He's better than that, and he behaves in such a way that people get very upset with his antics.
Granted, seeing people reply "f**k off, BF" every time he posts is getting as stale as his trolling, but he brought it upon himself by being rigid, dense and irritating.
