Alex Libman is a troll, so please stop.

[John Shaw]

@ JohnShaw!

All of Libmans stuff is under old names.  Good luck finding it if you're just a casual user.  

Of course it all is. But again, I guess that only proves my point.

I guess no one will believe it unless a bunch of people who have run afoul of him chime in.

Whatever.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Sounds like what this thread is all about actually.

Okey dokey then. Fine. You want him, he's yours. I won't say another word about him unless he directly attacks me.

You heard it here first. For my part, Alex can do whatever the fuck he wants so long as he doesn't make a single fucking comment about me, personally.

Bets on:

A. How long that'll last.
B. How long you put up with him.

Good luck.

I totally agree, I'm just saying the average denizen of the BBS will see him as nothing more than an interesting radical who is, in fact, worth defending as evidenced in this thread. 

I noticed he's been busy - deleted a bunch of convo in the trash heap.  I think more than anything that tells volumes about his so-called beliefs.  I can understand pruning a thread when you get angry at it being derailed.  But if the topic is general pointless bullshit, destroying it is kinda weird.  That means all the people who each spent a few minutes contemplating and responding to your strange little pet-concept de'jour have no value, regardless of the fact they may have made a relevant and thoughtful contribution. 

Personally, I find it more than a little annoying that whenever someone mentions food or other casual activities, he will interrupt with masturbatory comments that belittle their contributions.  Its very disruptive to the continuity of the topic and it crushes spontaneous participation.  Its very disappointing to scroll past his disruption and find the convo has taken a foul turn and quickly peters out. 

I would like nothing better around here than for the general forum participant to ignore him manually or mentally, and continue their discussion as if unfazed by a petulant child.

I'm glad cool people agree with me. Time and again he pulls this shit and time and again he gets a pass on it.

But he's got his leash now. I'll just sit back and watch the BBS traffic volume continue to crash and burn, like it's been doing for a couple months now.

[Bill Brasky]

He doesn't get a pass from me. 

I view him kinda like someone I really despise at my favorite bar, who happens to be worth speaking to on one topic.  Like if he was a total asshole but a knowledgeable coin-collector. 

(best analogy I can come up with in short order)

What's the expected outcome on this topic? Are the rest of us supposed to pick a team? Ostracize Libman because he offends someone on the "cool" side?

No.  I think this thread serves as a place to discuss Alex, where it won't be disruptive to other threads.

I think you're giving Libman too much credit.

[AL the Inconspicuous]

I've given years of my life to this forum.  My heart and soul.

Has any human being ever experienced greater betrayal?

[davann]

Eh, troll or not matters not to me. At least he is contributing.

Speaking of which.... any idea on a release date? I'd be happy with just narrowing it down to which quarter in 2010. Been looking forward to getting a chance to watch your flick for ages it seems.

When it's done. 2010.

Sorry, you probably get that question a lot.

dick & lib should get together & do a mutual suicide
be fun to read in the papes & much more tolerable around here.

This BBS took a giant nose dive right after Taors decided to stop posting....for whatever reason. Prior to that, the BBS took a major blow when crazy Jane Puke decided to leave. The majority of the regular trouble makers are long gone now.

If those old school members do not come back, then it will be up to the lurkers to stand up to the plate, and make this place fun again.

Without the "trolls"....there will be no BBS.

I never got the chance to tell Jane Puke that I loved her.

Well, make sure you talk to Mark about her.  And then you might not love her anymore.  Just make sure...in case she ever comes back.  Crazy bitch was on TotalFark too...
