yea. im done even pretending to be civil. stop wssting ****ing bandwidth with your ****tarded mindset and useless posts.

i came to these forums to learn and hopefully contribute, not see your layman interpretation of the N900 and its flaws/strengths. youre probably one of the smartest trolls ive seen around here as far as tactics go, and if youre not doing it on purpose then you sir are a social ******. im really hoping thats the case. anyhow, ****off and good riddance.

narcist. nothing more, nothing less. this guy wouldn't see the truth even when he's said it himself. iphone users are delusional, internet nerds and trolls are narcists. so here I am pouring more gasoline to the fire. :P

OK mate, honestly, who goes around telling people that he probably earns more than them and has a better education for no reason at all, and then follows it up by stating that a thread on a forum is his own and lays down the rules of what mus essentially be described as war???

Please try to keep the discussion civilized eh.

You say you choose the topics to get traffic so that you get answers, what exactly do you want answered in this thread?

I'm almost inclined to put in a brainstorm that suggests we change this site from talk.maemo.org to talk.orangebox.org. While I can certainly understand the "if you don't like it, don't reply" mentality, it isn't really fair when we aren't given other options. Consider this analogy:

A group of vegetarians are marooned on a barren, desert island overpopulated by animals. They are starving, but they complain about there only being animals to eat. One could argue that they can stop complaining and just eat the plants they find, but with the infrequency at which they stumble upon foliage. Can you truly be that offended when said vegetarians try to correct the problem of over-population in order to stimulate growth for something that is more in-keeping with their culture?

Failing understanding the above analogy, let me (re)introduce you to a technical programmers are familiar with: duck-typing. If it looks like a duck, talks, like a duck, etc, it's a duck. Therefore, you can only expect to be treated like an "immature, arrogant, troll" until you stop exhibiting behavior that helps classify you as such . Another thought: as much as you apparently strive for attention, perhaps your name should have been BlackHole and not OrangeBox?
[/rant]

Frustrations aside, I generally don't make such public criticisms of an individual, but considering this topic is all about you, I dare say that it is on topic.

step 1: stop replying to it,
step 2: warn new people of it

outcome: it will go away

it is simple, guys

The irony is that everyone offering that advice is contributing to the thing they want stopped.

And really, that advice only works in theory. Not once in around 15 years of visiting and moderating forums have I ever seen it actually work. If "troll warriors" don't bump the threads, the troll/attention-seeker will.

The only thing I've ever seen work is repetitive nuking. Ultimately a troublemaker will move on.

Heh. Funny guy.

There is another subtle tactic that can work, and some people in these Boxy threads have been using it. Let's see if anyone can figure it out. :D
