Y’know, if people stopped responding to Alaric’s fractured and bizarre threads, maybe he wouldn’t start so many. And they’d drop to the bottom of the screen, and he’d have to drop his non sequitors in other threads.
I’m just saying.

Just curious, why isn’t _you_ simply ignoring the threads you don’t care about enough?
If his threads didn’t interest other people, they wouldn’t post to them.

Kind of a _non sequitor_ in itself, don’t you think? Not sure why letting his threads drop would reduce his posting to other threads.
Anyway, I’ve got no problem with him. I read his silly titles, chuckle a bit, think “there goes **A the G** with one of his crackpot rants again”, and move on. Simple.

Has this stregtegy ever worked? I suspect not.
If we had only a few members, it would be easy to agree to such a strategy.

And unfortunately, instead of a few members, we’re stuck with all these dicks.

If we knew where he lived, we could sneak in and replace his psilocybin mushrooms with an inert variety.
Anything short of that probably won’t help much.

I’m not sure he’d notice a lack of feedback. It’d be good for everybody who didn’t read the threads, though.

I heard that he raped a 14 yr old actress in another thread.
How she got in the other thread, I’ll never know.

This thread just proves the “flaming chair” dynamic is as real as some pundits have claimed. Nobody sees through the veil of transparent media bricks like alaric. Mashed bananas and Whoopee…
In a perfect world, the mods would just block the obvious mentally ill so that they wouldn’t be subject to derision.

Then I’d be totally screwed. Why do you want me gone so bad? :eek:

Hey everyone, I’m a dumbass. Just now, right now when I saw **“A the G”** did I go back and look at his name and put it together. Or rather, take it apart and see three words there.
I just assumed it was some kind of stoopid Alien name from a Sci-Fi series I missed.
