It seems that **Nothing Special ** engages in an activity that he thinks is wrong or makes no sense. One of the first threads he started was about an NFL game he seemed to care deeply about.

Game, Set, and Match Crotalus
no wonder Nothing Special don’t like sports when he is so easily and magnanimously defeated.
Wake up the administrators we got one that needs administrating to.

Ah, sorry, I’d missed that post.
Still, not a very great idea on your behalf. The people responding to our little trollish friend here have read the same posts you have, and have either decided that he is not, in fact, a troll (in which case they’ll ignore your instructions to ignore him as inapplicable) or they think he is a troll, but want to poke him anyway to see what happens (in which case they’ll ignore your insructions as no fun.) Pitting him does nothing to realize your goal. All it does is introduce him to more Dopers who will either follow your instructions to ignore him (small gain, as they were already “ignoring” him because they’d never heard of him) or who will react in one of the two ways I described above. The net effect of these sorts of threads is always going to be to generate more interest and attention to the putative troll. If you really want people to ignore him, the only thing you can do is to ignore him yourself. Any other action only makes the problem worse.

Unbelievably bad grammar combined with another entreaty to the administers to administrate, as you would wish them to.
You are priceless. Absolutely priceless.
It appears that jeering at other posters is considered a ‘safe’ activity, like eating raw vegetables and rollicking wild sex. (I somehow doubt it’s considered ‘safe’ in face-to-face interactions, though.)

Sir, would you care to address the single largest contradiction then?

This is an important game! Much will be decided, at least for the Giants. Let’s have some opinions!

Why do you hate sports so passionately after so recently despairing over Big Blue? That is your Op from 11-20-2006, 07:59 PM.

Well, it all makes sense now. Seeing how horribly the Giants have played in recent weeks, he’s sworn off sports altogether.
Or else he injured his hand so badly punching the wall after Dallas won on Sunday, that he’s no longer capable of switching on the TV.

Aw shucks, Bippy, I’m flattered. He did try to claim that the game in question was the dramatic turning point in his views about sports. More bullshit.

I have already addressed the non-contradiction.

Poorly. Would you care to expound on the deep change you went through as you changed from sports fan to anti-sports apostle in a couple of weeks?
As this user is no longer able to post, I am going to go ahead and close this thread.
