WTF is going on with the stalker fan threads?

As someone that is fairly new to this board and as someone who has posted in thread, I ask seriously, what is the issue with this thread so far?

Stuff like this:

Separately, I forgot to address this:

Markxxx was promoting his own comics. And he was subject to the same rules as everybody else on that score; he just did it more often and got away with it for a long time because I think most of us didn’t realize he was linking to his own work.

This. Tis’ a blessing, and I recommend it highly. Once I feel that a poster has nothing to say that I want to hear, a quick trip to the user panel cures all ills.

And I’m exceptionally poorly versed.:(:(:frowning:

If the person in question feels they are being abused, they are free to leave. But since they keep coming back for more, I feel zero compassion for them when they get curb-stomped in threads.

Sorry I can’t do that in iambic pentameter.
