from my interactions with him, i don't think he was trolling (i.e., machine-gunning obnoxious posts to get a reaction). i just think that's the way he is in real life. scary, maybe, but not trolling.

No, he's secretly my main account, and I'm hoping that no one will take my confession seriously.

can he still use the PM function ? I have a few questions on cheeses I didn't get to ask before retiring last night.

he was polite in his PM's to me as well, but I did notice, before the meltdown, how he was adept at getting a rise out of someone by using veiled insults and insinuations in the same polite manner.

yup pretty much that right? I just get freaked because NYC is a big place, but then again you never know when you're on the 6 train and strike up a conversation and boom 6 degrees of style forum separation.

Max aka mm84321 just called me and wanted to express that he was sorry everyone felt the way they did about his opinions. If anyone wants to reach out to him and communicate via e-mail let me know and I will give you his contact information.

I've talked to him a number of times and he seemed like a nice guy. Everyone that participates in CE thinks that they know all and their way of doing things or thinking about things is correct. Why is he a troll for doing the same? I admit, it was an odd viewpoint, but his own none the less. I enjoyed his food contributions as I know many of you did. He was real and not a troll, therefore he should be reactivated...although he probably won't come back.

yeah but to reach out to him, we have to talk to you and that's a non-starter.

The problem is not his opinions. The problem is he feels his opinions are divine facts even though they fly in the face of the reality the rest of the several billion of us occupy. All his problems flowed from that.

Tell him to go have is T level checked, go to a bar and screw some willing lady silly, and generally enjoy being 19.

I was the first person from here to let you buy me drinks. I'm glad you're as slow as you are or I wouldn't have been able to outrun you to the 1 uptown.

Then why can't you just ignore him? I don't have time to read that entire thread as I'm studying for the cpa exam so I won't comment on that directly. BUT, this forum is full of crazy people....including me!

R, I'm pretty lenient about people in general and if someone like you were to vouch for Max, then that's fine and I'm good with it.

That said - in that thread he pretty well ignored or dismissed every argument that was put to him, regardless of the fact basis behind it. If you're going to keep calling the grass orange and the sky pink just because that's your hypothesis, then by all means you should wear your asbestos underoos because you're going to get flamed by those who have experience and facts on their side. I hate to put it like that but that's the pattern.

This reads like he wrote it.

Anyway, he is barking up the wrong tree. None of us, not even me, the chief h8er, wanted him banned. Though a timeout would have been fitting.

But spitting in j's eye like that was sepuku.
