I can understand ignoring and hijacking MM’s posts that he was making earlier, where the questions were of a (pardon the pun) questionable nature…
but I’ve noticed that lately, he’s asking questions that are rather legitimate and somewhat interesting (I make reference to the James Bond question, for example)
and people are still answering with totally unrelated posts…
if the guy’s making a visible effort to post more acceptable questions, he at least deserves SOME credit…
I don’t suffer from insanity…
I enjoy every minute of it!
This topic has been done a hundred times by now, but here’s my explaination. Once someone establishes themselves as an idiot (as in, keeps interjecting nonsense and annoying posts into other peoples threads, starting threads about what kind of panties women wear), no one wants to communicate with them on ANY topic. It’s sad, really. He seems like he could have some potential. He just needs to grow up.
That’s my last post EVER on MM- may his threads rest in peace. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, MM does seem to have potential, Zette, so why not help him cultivate it by responding to the more reasonable of his posts. Can’t we prove that we’re the mature, reasonable people we claim to be?
I guess I’m just better off living with my inner tensions.

I’m sorry- I must be misunderstanding you. I hope you aren’t implying that I’m not proving that I am mature or reasonable because I choose not to reply to MM’s posts. Potential or not, I find him annoying as heck. In real life, I would likely not chat with him either. I would likely wait until I found him more interesting or mature, then I would make that decision.
I don’t have much time to spend on the boards since I’ve started working, and I’m not going to waste it on topics that don’t interest me.
I was simply trying to address the OPs question about why more people don’t post in his “normal” topics. Probobly the same reason people don’t want to hang around with annoying co-workers. They may be nice sometimes, but most of the time they drive you nuts. Who has time for that crap?
If someone has the ability to NOT act like a total twit, then they should grow up and do just that. Otherwise, I don’t have time for them, and I suspect others feel the same.

(who has wasted FAR too much time already talking about this guy. See what you get for trying to explain things?? You get deeper and deeper)

Well, I’m sorry, too, Zette; this is a fine line. I wasn’t talking about people who refrain from responding to MM, just the people who Glenoled referred to, who were hijacking the relatively inoffensive threads. Anyway, I posted that before I saw his post in the Confederate flag thread, so I’ll shut up now.

His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
