I agree about him not being funny. I don't see how people find him humorous.

The only harm he can really be accused of is trolling, which is highly subjective. I don't consider his posts to be particularly off topic or contraversial. His narcissism just makes it frustrating to the point where it seems he's not real or we're just seeing a façade. Still, he has gotten a lot better since he first joined, so I don't think he should be banned. If this thread was created in June, when he kept asking if things were gay, I would've definitely said yes.

Still, I don't understand why he's still around. People don't really praise the things he buys, nor do they really answer the questions he poses.

You may notice as a general rule, the old hands around here don't get lured in or worked up about him...we've learned to take him with a grain lake of salt, and poke and prod at him a little for sport, but generally just hang back and see what he will throw at the board next. Eventually he will say something waaaay outta line, get timed out, get pissed about it around the time he is allowed back, go on a rampage, get banned, rejoin, get rebanned, dissappear and make the forum boring, and reappear in about 6 months...

It's okay. LK has taken over that role.

Well I meant his posts as manouche. I haven't read his posts as ernest. Looking up his profile he joined in 2004. Did he have another profile before then?

He's really just more an an annoyance than anything.

I think he would actually stop posting if he were simply barred from using the "poll" option when starting a thread.

I don't think he works as well when there are n00bs that are answering his threads seriously. You don't get any real banter going. I am disappointed especially because his ernest period is so highly regarded by some.

I vote to ban him, then at least we get to see if his next persona is any more interesting than this one.

not to my knowledge, I just plucked 03 out of the sky as he was well established when I joined in early 05. It was like 2 am when I wrote that, didn't feel like combing through the records
