Who bitch slapped Sunshine?

If he wants to "discuss" by setting up an argument, then he is the definition of a troll.

And I don't disagree with the bolded part, just telling you my personal experience with him, and that, as a human, he's ok.

On-Line, he frustrated me no end for a while when I was OMRRA President until I figured out how I needed to deal with him (on-line).

YMMV.

Argument, not as in getting into one, but argument as in "here's my position on the issue."

Again, he's a good person, just comes off poorly at times online.

YMMV

 

I have a couple of engineering friends that are like that. When I first met 'em, they got on my nerves pretty quick, but after a while, I just realized that's the way they communicate and I tend to ignore it most times

 

I guess I'm not very bright, but I just don't get why people who are supposedly 'actually decent in person' behave like such complete dickheads online. Such behavior would certainly lead one to believe that they 'have issues'.

 

Uh, I think that was actually Bill Withers that said that.

 

How long is the ban?

Webcrush length or non racing related video length?

 

BS. By tolerating the behavior you enable him. He is jerk - pure and simple - and he most likely thrives off the attention. IMHO

 

Excellent Metrics!

 

Which is why I don't engage him past a certain point.
I say things once, state my opinion/facts, then move on.

 

The big softie Mongo should be banned for giving him another chance last go round.

 

I think he is a prior offender. Not sure if that impacts anything.

 

No, the fact that that's a rushed, shallow, and very inconsiderate judgment of his character is what's pure and simple.

Chris is among the finest people I know; in many ways I consider him one of my role models. The fact that you find his forum persona grating is your problem. He doesn't follow anyone around and force himself upon them; anyone who doesn't wish to engage him has always been perfectly free to pass up the opportunity.

 

Yup, class act.

Seriously, guy might be alright face to face but on the beeb he's been nothing but a douche nozzle.

 

great so tell me whre the escape key is on the "on screen" keyboard so I can exit a powerpoint pres without the keyboard or mouse?

 

I work with a guy like that. Every conversation with him contains one of the following, "I hear what you're saying, but..." and/or "...I'm just playing devil's advocate."

He's considered a douchebag of the highest order. If one feels like its their job to take a contrary position, then they're not really making friends or providing something of value...

 

I would say that right now, it is sunshine's problem.

 

True, but Me First and the Gimme Gimmes did one bitchin' cover of it.

I think it is perfectly acceptable to think someone's online persona is terrible while in person they can be great. If someone is a nice person in real life, that shouldn't mean everyone MUST appreciate their crap attitude online.

 

Brad is, from what I hear, a nice person in person. Online, not so much.

 

I got no issue with him online or in real life. Well, once I did and told him so.
