The world you were happy in a few moments ago before the comment was made is just the same. The sea still smells the same, birdsong still sounds the same, the sun's still blazing away, your pet still looks adorable, who cares if someone insulted you. But you lose all perspective. You need to reaffirm the self. Convince yourself you aren't fat or stupid or ugly. Haha. But there's no bloody self anyway. And besides, if there are people who like us and praise us, there must be others who dislike and insult us. They go together. To expect one but not the other is madness.

I'd say MB is pretty chill when it comes to insults and there aren't that many people who get really angry because of them.
On the other hand hardly anyone here tries to really hurt someone else.
I personally think guys like ESISO are quite amusing, but if we let them roam totally free, the forums and discussions would suffer at some point,
so I get why they have to be eventually banned.

Happy nonsense? That sounds like a sneaky insult!

It's a lot better than various other forums, I agree.

What does any of that have to do with the topic of this thread?

[RoxyRollah]

I don't understand the effort being put into discussing someone that was here for what 30 days. He was disruptive on purpose. Don't really care if he called me fat and ugly as Im neither fat, nor ugly.What I didnt want to happen was it to go unchecked because its not ok to vomit all over this place, derail threads, start trash threads and attacking people. My question is why do yall give af if that moron was only here 30 days. Did you strike up some sorta bond with the wackadoo?

Crazy people (on the internet) are entertaining.
There was nothing special about him, but he was the last one and therefore people remember him. I'm sure he will soon be forgotten, in favour of the next weirdo.

[RoxyRollah]

Yeah.....so hurry up and wait then the next one will be along soon.

What did I miss here?

[RoxyRollah]

Nothing.

I agree. I don't think trolls, particularly those who insult people and make no real attempt to integrate into the community, are funny, and all I want to say after they've gone is good riddance.
