Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If people don't like it here why do they stay? It's not like school or a job where you have to come here everyday, I'm sure there are plenty of other ways the 'victims' could fill in their spare time if they wanted.

Gemmill 44995 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think Fop gets a little bit of a hard time. I used to think so but now I think he brings it on himself. Aye more fool me for standing up to morons (although it seem to be "ok" when I do it to "outsiders" such as Leazeswhatever) and not making mindless poo jokes instead. Out of interest what does Gemmial look like in RL? I kinda imagine the Stay Puffed Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters only bright luminous orange from the comments about him. Let's go round again! Out of interest, I've got you as Stephen Hawking with a squeakier voice box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 OooOooooOooooOOOoH Going along with the original bullying notion, I do believe that there are also some board regulars who enjoy egging on bullies/shit stirring, then stand well back, eventually siding with whoever wins.

I'd agree with that up to a point, but I don't think who "wins" is important in the slightest. In fact, I'd say it's the belief/non-belief that there's such a thing as "winning" and "losing" an argument on this forum that causes a lot of the friction between certain types of poster in the first place.

His outburst is quite out of character for him. but you're right, there is a certain degree of sycophancy, I'd argue it was less to do with "taking sides" and more about goading the protagonists imo.
