Urge, there are quite a few posters who have tried to help you, some who tried to advise you, some who even tried to mother you. It was a complete waste of ones and zeros. On several occassions, in several threads, you refer to the number of posts that refer to you. You’re a troll. You say we pick on you because you’re only 19, but we have posters younger than that and they are treated with respect. You’d know that if you weren’t such a troll. You say we don’t like newbies, but you don’t wonder about the several dozen newbies who have fit in effortlessly. Trolls don’t wonder. They troll. You troll. You post moronic remarks then back off, with your “sorry, I guess you don’t like me” routine. It’s annoying, it’s old, but that’s what trolls do. As OgreFade, you reponded to the slightest criticism with childish tantrums. The Urge is no improvement on the previous model. You’re the same old troll. There are some here who are willing to take you under their wing, but in my opinion, it’s a complete waste of time. You are who you are. A troll. Prove me wrong and I’ll start a thread admitting that, complete with pictures and music. You can start by losing that whiney, pathetic “nobody loves me” shtick. It makes me gag. ---

Wally, it appears both The Urge and OgreFade are banned now. At least, that’s what Urgy told me in a private e-mail. Talk about a scary morning: first the coffee machine is broken, then I find a mail from Urgy boy. Luckily, it contained good news. ---

I feel stupid, wasting all those pixels. I didn’t know. Thanks, Coldy. ---

I made alot of apologies. They weren’t doing any good. So yeah I lashed out. & > [@](#): > > Do you know how I could kill countless thousands of people? I could use an aresol to release botulism on a quick cross country flight. First: That’s true only if the man is willing to learn to fish. Anyway, the term “man” implies “adult male,” and you have demonstrated a refusal to gain knowledge, thus are maintaining your immaturity. Second: Everyone has to make some apologies. If you’re finding yourself in the position of having to make a lot (please note that “alot” is usually seen as the misspelling of “allot,” a verb meaning to distribute and “a lot” functions as an adjective meaning “a considerable quantity”) of apologies, then you’re either (a) setting your goals too high, or (b) not learning from your mistakes. As this is not a kindergarden, I’m thinking that (a) your goal of hanging out here is too high, and (b) you’re not learning from your mistakes. The reason “they’re not doing any good” is that you continue to make the same mistake. Please take a day or two off and read, at your leisure please, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” Third: Next time you’re on a flight, try mentioning that factoid of yours to a flight attendant. Then we can all read about it in the newspaper. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by **Coldfire** : > > it appears both The Urge and OgreFade are banned now. At least, that’s what Urgy told me in a private e-mail. Interesting. Originally in ATMB **TubaDiva** had said that she’d banned _both_ screen names, yet **Urge** kept posting and said OgerFade had been deleted. Now this. I don’t know what to believe. Bets on the new screen name and when he comes back to try a third time?

Sending out email to people after leaving was OgreFade’s thing as well (witness ChiefScott’s “OgreFade sent me a nasygram” thread). Personally, I’m almost offended at not getting one. Actually, it’s mostly idle curiosity about them and why some people get them, but not others. ---

I would have figured for sure I’d have gotten one… Esprix * * * ## [Ask the Gay Guy!](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001376.html) (or, if you prefer the Jesusfied version, [Asketh the damn Priest Guy!](http://www.askjesus.org/ask.cgi?http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001376.html)) ## “Never assume a malicious intent when stupidity will explain just as well.” {This space reserved for a Genuine WallyM7 Sig™} ---

I got an email from him. I guess because I flamed him repeatedly. He seems sorry, but is trying to cut his nose off to spite his face so to speak. He doesn’t intend to come back. He believes that we should all just suffer without him. And he does admit that he probably shouldn’t have made the remarks that we took as threats, but I doubt he will ever quite understand why. If he came to my houseparty and talked about how he could blow the place up with a pipebomb he is capable of making, I would ask him to leave too. I have to admit I changed my mind about him, but I still believe he doesn’t have the right mindset to post on this board. It may be cheesy but I have already told him once > [@](#): > > If you can’t run with the big boys and figure shit out for yourself then stay off the computer you gravy sucking twit. I don’t think I am the greatest poster in the world, I don’t even think I contribute anything worthwhile very often. But I was still able to come onto this board and get the hang of things very quickly. So I know it isn’t impossible. * * * Rather, I was in the position of a spore which, having finally accepted its destiny as a fungus, still wonders if it might produce penicillin. –Ayi Kwei Armah ---
