> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > This is the weird part. No, etv is weird. He is humorless and mean-spirited. He takes himself way to seriously. If he’s trolling, he’s supposed to treat it like a game. Etv doesn’t do that. And, then he let’s his online and offline lives intersect. That’s the really weird part. Who in their right mind would do such a thing? Also, he hits and run. He often posts stuff, piss people off, and then doesn’t come back to defend himself. It’s pretty awkward watching this guy self-destruct. ---

Richard North is very boring. Like that film, “North”. ---

If people did not engage in pointless exercises and did not waste their abilities, the SDMB would have not have racked up more than a few thousand posts over the last fifteen years or so. ---

Richard North is banned, with no explanation in ATMB. That’s mostly reserved for spammers and socks. Really was a Diamonds02 sock, eh? I go away for a couple days and this happens. I can’t leave you people alone for a second, can I? ---
