Poor fellow.

One possible answer might be chronic OCD.

Another answer might be the same reason folks watch a slow train wreck; you can’t quite look away.

I still keep an eye on Fibber’s activity to ensure there is no repeat of his past harassment or stalking. When he targeted Grindael and his family, I strongly urged Grindael to pursue legal action. While Grindael chose to show mercy, I remain appalled and disgusted by FIbber's actions. I’ve committed myself to ensuring that if he crosses those lines again, there will be actual legal consequences, both civil and criminal. My only interest in him is maintaining that accountability. That, and I get a kick out of documenting his constant lying and trolling.

I’m not even sure why I keep engaging. Partly curiosity and maybe a bit of entertainment if I’m being honest. Part of me wants to see how long it will take before he breaks his own “ignore” and directly responds. I definitely don’t expect sincere engagement.

Yep!

Those that don't want to engage with me, don't!!

Otherwise, I see it as a form of constant trolling...as I've made quite clear.

Almost OCD, in my opinion. Just stop interacting. Problem solved.

Not so easy?

Regy,

No one does, anymore. 19 years of this and he clearly can't stop himself.

[I Have Questions]

I just feel better about my own use of time if I'm communicating with someone that I think is at least half way serious/respectful and I can discuss things with them at that common meeting point.

Will you be practicing what you preach (for once) going forwards?

I recall Peterson making a commitment to be respectful in return for a donation, he didn’t stick to his word on that one. I’m wondering if we can get your word on this, and if you will stick to it (unlike the Afore)?

A belief system is best defended by living it. Once you start betraying thise behavioural beliefs in that defense, it becomes friendly fire. If you want people to treat you with seriousness and respect, treat them with seriousness and respect. Walls of AI generated text that you don’t understand, is not treating someone with seriousness and respect. If someone treats you with unseriousness or disrespect, guess what, as a Mormon defender you must still treat them with seriousness and respect. You must turn the other cheek. Or you completely undermine your serious and respectful defending of your faith.

I don’t believe you are capable of keeping that type of good faith behaviour up. But you can go right ahead and prove me wrong…

I can read MG like a book.

Public Service Announcement!
This announcement is intended to resolve an apparent issue that seems to be causing trouble for one poster.

Anyone who wants to engage with another poster is, of course, perfectly free to. This applies even to people who have expressed a reluctance to do so, or who - like me - have indicated their preference, when practical, for indirect engagement.

If a poster sees engagement as a form of constant trolling - as they've made quite clear - they should remember that, as long as the rules are followed they can control only their own behaviour, not that of others. This is a discussion board, after all.

It's almost OCD, in some folks' opinions, to constantly complain about others engaging with one's comments. One could just stop interacting. Problem solved.

Not so easy? For some, apparently!
