And I 99% didn't get along with him. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41623 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:22:19 +0000 Clupula 41623@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I totally agree that Da Man never actually adds anything to any conversation except insults and general shit throwing. I've learned to just ignore whatever he posts, but it's hard not to see how many posts just become arguments when people take his bait.</p> <p>As for TEA, don't know, so can't judge. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41513 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 21:16:34 +0000 Anonymous 41513@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>You're forgiven :) The End.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQtXpHXvcYc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQtXpHXvcYc</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41511 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 21:02:25 +0000 Gheritt White 41511@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Yeah, you're probably right.

I also wasn't ware that he was actually banned, I just thought he left.</p> <p>He is very passionate about Sony, and I disagreed with many of his posts and comments, but I enjoyed the back and forth banter at times.<br /> Personal attacks though are inexcusable, I must have missed those or forgotten.</p> <p>So far his passion has come though, but I haven't seen anything worth banning. </p> <p>Call me crazy, but in some ways, his enthusiasm for Sony is interesting as bashing Sony has become the norm, though I feel its mostly justified.<br /> Sony learned some harsh lessons, we shall see if they learned from it. MS has become cocky in my opinion, though nowhere near the vitrolic level of Sony at the beginning of the PS3. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41502 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:00:51 +0000 Hunam 41502@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>If I wasn't a devout nihilist I think I might actually care that he's come back.

It's just we've been here with him twice before. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of the last couple of times, s'all I'm saying.</p> <p>Tbh, this is a busy period for me at work anyway, so perhaps I should be welcoming an incentive to lurk rather than post. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41490 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:26:50 +0000 Ireland Michael 41490@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>If his presence bothers you that immensely, contact Pat directly about it. He does listen if there's enough valid criticism by a vocal majority of the community, but neither will he take action based solely on individual opinion. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41488 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:21:11 +0000 daytripper 41488@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Don't reply to the posts or use another site, simple as that </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41487 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:13:29 +0000 G1GAHURTZ 41487@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>That's unfair, SticKBoy.</p> <p>Still hold a grudge after all this time?

It's in his nature.</p> <p>In the process he will poison thread after thread.

He didn't say he wishes some guy to die, like a certain individual *cough* Erth *cough* did. Yet. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41481 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:18:52 +0000 viralshag 41481@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I think the VG crew are a lot more on top of that sort of thing though. Apart from the occasional argument that stretches multiple forum pages, I haven't seen anything on here recently that I would consider that bad.</p> <p>Obviously if things turn nasty, and the guys don't ban as they should, it's a problem. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41480 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:18:04 +0000 Ireland Michael 41480@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Gherritt, when people ignore the bait, the fisherman has nothing to do.</p> <p> BDH proved that. We almost never see him anymore. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41479 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:16:22 +0000 Dragon246 41479@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>There certainly more deserving candidates roaming around here, like a particular Man. :) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41478 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:14:49 +0000 Gheritt White 41478@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Not a witch hunt, it's just there was a really horrid patch when TEA and BDH were ruining the comments on more or less every post and it's been so much nicer without them.</p> <p>I just don't want to see things return to that sorry state, when it was always a mud-slinging match and not about reasoned discourse. But hey, if it does, I can always follow PT and Blerk's example and go elsewhere. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41476 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:07:46 +0000 viralshag 41476@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I don't see why he should. The VG crew know what they're doing and I don't think it's a readers place to start witch hunts for certain commenters. They'll give bans for those who deserve them.</p> <p>That's my two pence on it. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41475 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:06:48 +0000 Ireland Michael 41475@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>He was originally only banned for three months, for posting racist remarks and intentionally antagonising users. He choose to stay away, far as I know.</p> <p>As long as he doesn't break the rules, there really isn't any reason to ban him.</p> <p>If you don't like what another user's opinion, the simplest thing you can do is ignore it. If you start responding to someone with name calling, attacks on their character, and other such juvenile behaviour, you kinda end up being part of the problem, not the solution. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41474 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:02:52 +0000 Gheritt White 41474@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>So name and shame them, CyberMarco. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41473 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:02:48 +0000 viralshag 41473@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I'm currently with Cyber on this one. I haven't seen anything and I wasn't really around/bothered about the comments section when it all kicked off before.</p> <p>So I can only say I think it would be unfair to do so unless there is a real reason. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7572#post-41472 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:59:41 +0000 CyberMarco 41472@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Am I the only one who doesn't feel like TEA should be banned?
