FFS people! Just let it go. Please.
SA=Starving Artist?
FFS=For Fuck’s Sake?
Yes.
Instead, make a new thread to indirectly engage him! 
True. The answer is a straightforward Shunning. If no one reads or responds to a post of his ever again perhaps he’ll go away.
Actually, if he pops up in this thread I will ignore him. I’m pleading with the sane members of this board to let it go.
Normally, I could care less if a (asinine) thread goes on for a hundred pages. Because, hey, I can just NOT read it.
The Joe Paterno is different. The mere thread tittle alone screams “CHILD RAPE CHILD RAPE!!”
Who in their right mind wants that mental image going through their head every time they click on the Pit forum?
You know that little strip of skin that every so often gets pulled away from adjacent to your fingernail? That hurts just a little bit every time you pull on it, but you feel compelled to do it anyway?
Er, well, maybe not. But it’s like that.
Anyway, agreed. To Coventry with him.
It hasn’t been “engaging” him since the first few pages. If it were possible to engage him, that thread would be long dead. It’s now like tapping the glass on the monkey’s cage to watch him leap and howl. What, you’re telling us that’s not fun?
It’s fun until he starts flinging shit. You do not want to get that stuff in your eye.
I’ve suggested that Miller close that thread anyway as it’s not just circling the drain but gone down it and into the sewers long ago.
In that case you might want to read my treatise in that thread which argues convincingly that no such rape took place. Certainly no one so far has been able to refute it. Then, in addition to being cheered by the fact that that child was not raped after all, you’ll be freed from your fear of spotting the thread.
There’s a difference between being convincing and winning an argument, and talking to yourself because no one wants to listen to your bullshit anymore. You think you’ve achieved the former, but the rest of the world knows it’s the latter.
I’m feeling really left out. What thread is “that thread”? I’ve got my poking stick all ready but I don’t know where to go.
Don’t start, MsRobyn. Just don’t start.
Personally I’m hoping he sends his “irrefutable proof” to Sandusky’s lawyers - it could be just the break [del]the McCain campaign[/del] they have been waiting for.
Canny Dan, it’s the Joe Paterno pit thread. I give the same advice to you as I gave MsRobyn.
Nah, I’ve spoken my piece. SA can go back to talking to himself.
I haven’t even bothered to open the original thread in I don’t know how long because I’m sick of SA and his bullshit. I just felt the need to express some frustration at an otherwise worthwhile discussion going to hell.
Oh, THAT thread. Thanks folks. So far I’ve managed to avoid opening it and, for the sake of my sanity, I’ll continue that course of action.
<puts poking stick back in scabbard>
I’m curious why you don’t put him on ignore. And by “you” I mean everybody, but I’m extra curious why MsRobyn, who, to judge solely on her title, is at least clever about something, would respond to SA in a thread pointing out what a complete idiot you have to be to engage SA. SA is not the idiot this time.
Just recently I was wondering the exact same thing about SenorBeef and why he doesn’t just ignore Shodan already. Page after page about how Shodan is wrong, how talking to Shodan is like talking to Glen Beck’s pet parrot, how nothing Shodan posts is worth reading. I read on longer than I should’ve wondering if Beefo ever got a clue but gave up. He didn’t, did he? Tell me he did.
Do the trolls win if you ignore them? How about some of you try to get together and actually not feed the fuckers? While these message boards would probably be improved if Shodan and SA found true love and moved to Spain together, they’d definitely be improved if people stopped expounding upon painfully obvious facts about Shodan and SA.
Does Communism work if it’s really tried? Trolls have never ever been ignored on the Internet. Just doesn’t happen. Which is not to say that I personally do not put trolls on ignore, just that to expect a whole community to do so is unrealistic (especially if you then blame the entire community for this, not just the feeders.)
Nor, to my knowledge, has anyone provided a point-by-point refutation of Nature’s Harmonic Simultaneous 4-Day Time Cube. Fresh off your decisive win in the “rape isn’t rape” thread, you’re clearly just the man for the job. God speed.
I thought I was the only one who got those. Is there a name for that strip?
Could you post that treatise if you don’t mind? In the 50 pages of the original thread, I’ve only read the last 4 or so, and I fear I’ve honestly missed it. I don’t really have the time to read through the other 46, and I believe you’re posting in good faith. You could PM it to me if you feel that posting it in this thread is too inflammatory.
