Regarding Atlanticmike . . .

[Chap]

So, AM goes quiet for ten days ... and then we start all over again?

His motivation is quite clear from his posting record: it is to kill the forum. He is not a guy who just needs a little help so he knows how to play nice.

I fear this is just temporising.

My recommendation is that the first trolly post he posts leads to a temporary ban.

No. He doesn’t go quiet for ten days.

Give me 10 days. If I’m wrong about Atlanticmike and/or if the current crisis still isn’t resolved to your satisfaction, I’ll step down for a period of time and release the moderators (in whom I am well pleased) from any obligation of being clones of me and give them free rein to do as they see fit. Hell, I’ll even let them change the rules (with the exception of Universal Rule #12, which is exempt from alteration).

God save me from myself. I don't have ten days to give. I'm fresh out of give. I'm fresh out of feeling, thinking, hoping, caring, waiting, giving a damn.

I don't think that I have one more thing to say. One more thing to offer. You want us to give your apparent special friend a chance.

So what are the rest of us to you? Pieces of random crap that just take up space here?

I’ll give you a chance, too.

A chance for what?

[Jersey Girl]

I'm emotionally dead right now. There I said it. Dead.

[Jersey Girl]

Just for the record, I have done exactly nothing that warrants a chance. All I have done for the past 24 hours with regard to this board is worry. Worry about these people and their feelings, worry about our mods, worry about you and yes, I am dead sure something is wrong with you. Worry about the future of this community. Worry until I'm completely dead inside.

I'm going to sleep like a normal healthy person. At least I can imitate one.

Yup. Either he goes clean and stays clean, or down to bansville or Spirit Prison he goes.

He knows the score. The tolerance extended to him on this board has been immense - I'd say excessive by a long way. He came here to disrupt, and that's what he has been doing 99% of the time. I doubt he has any real interest in doing anything else.

Bet you can't wait for them to return and report.
