I think people change if other people let them. I think people don’t change (or are less likely to change) if other people predict or assume they won’t.

If he remains a sandy little butthole, then he’ll post another butthole type remark.

and then all of the swarming masses will come out again.

But to continue a pile on when he \*seems]/i] to be trying to do better (ie asking for idiotic threads to be closed etc) is, IMHO, ‘not nice’. Naturally, folks are free to continue to do as they wish, I don’t for a moment believe that my stepping in will cause great quantities of folks to stop. Just wanted to point out that currently, the guy’s not fighting back, so **somebody** might want to, ya know, stop.

What **Lobsang** said.  
I think that it’s ironic that people keep pitting **Kurdt** for his “teenage drama bullshit”. In fact the reason some of you don’t like him seems to boil down to a teenage popularity contest.
