I was wondering .... just how much rossi sucks. Does rossi suck more than the boppers ...... or vica versa.
Pyeman, this above is what I was trying to say to you. Is Mike lecturing you too? I am trying to explain the dynamic of the trolling-reaction cycle, in that it's not useful. Sorry you feel that this was too uncomfortable to stand. But i want you to consider this, if this was the post that compelled you to leave, then imagine what it was like to endure personal attacks by Kesh, even as recently as the Qatar thread (which I just quote above). You're reacting to my post where I've written it without any profanity or personal attacks to you. I'm pointing out that you had also said you'd stop reacting, am I incorrect? Didn’t you say that? I also explained further that the troll reaction cycle was going on before I had said anything to Kesh, to point out when and why the attention was redirected in this flame war. If you leave guess who wins and who loses. If you stay and continue the cycle guess who wins and who loses?Sorry to see you go. Have enjoyed your posts.
Just to be clear, I think it is a personal choice whether you want to argue with the guy. As I have said, a bigger win for the party concerned is getting posters on here arguing with each other about non bike racing matters.
I distinctly remember reading a post of yours that you were done responding to synn. Am I correct? Pye, what you’re advocating is for Kesh and others to continue trolling Synn because…Synn is a troll. My interjection to this cycle was to point out who are the culprits of this cycle. For that Kesh and Barry have made me their target! They can’t stand that I would highlight their childish behavior, so I must be vilified. And frankly, its working, that why they are continuing to do it.
Lets break this down:
1.Original Synn: Kesh/Barry engaged in flame warring, clogging up threads ‘before’ I chimed in. FACT. This is undisputed fact, the time stamps are there, surely you don’t need me to post a bunch of quote of theirs engaging in the trolling-response cycle to show you time stamps, do you? Perhaps, but as it appears, it wouldn’t help settle this “debate”. Facts have become irrelevant.
2.The call out: I chimed in and pointed out that Kesh/Barry (and sure, they’re not the only ones, but were the most egregious engagers). Keep in mind, that after I chimed in, perhaps some took a step back, others stopped all together, or reduced, meanwhile Kesh/Barry not only continued, but its like they went into hyperdrive.
3.Spin Machine: Kesh/Barry’s narrative: Jumkie is the evil villain here! Look at him, not us! Uhm, except, they were fully engaged in the trolling-response cycle ‘before’ I chimed in. So when did I become their target? Right ‘after’ I pointed out their behavior.
4.Newspeak Works: Notice now how I have become the topic, not the reason why we got here in the first place, which was to stop the trolling-response cycle. Listen, the people that have the power to stop the cycle refuse, and it will continue then. No wonder that Kesh/Barry fight so hard to keep conflict alive, they thrive on it. Keep in mind Pye, we are talking on a thread called the “Non-trolling Pledge’ thread!
5.The Winner: Trolls. Pye what is the point of saying, he look, lets not feel sorry for this troll, because he is a real troll, so lets troll him. Take a look at pages 6 & 7, particularly 7, that entire page is an example of how threads get clogged up with the troll-reaction cycle. There are many pages in threads exactly like this! Who wins in this scenario? Who loses? Make no mistake, there is a winner!
Sorry to see you go. Have enjoyed your posts.

It is amusing, while more than capable of irony Povol once posted it seemed quite unconsciously that people who have bantered with him on forums are quiet as churchmice if he actually ever meets up with them. The guy is of even more imposing stature than you are.^ Well i guess i was pretty pissed off with jps's "You're a ....... ..... if.." remark and you jumping straight on the like button,in two and a half years of posting on here i've had zero interaction with jps so didn't appreciate that opening line,i guess that's the internet for you,people talk to each other with no respect ,nobody in my entire life would ever open dialogue with me like that face to face,as for the troll synn/sparrows/tps and now a new one teeth1198,i quite enjoy the interaction/banter/counter trolling,i know it only feeds the cycle but it's hard not to react and have a go back at him,i do however feel that remarks he makes to others,primarily Keshav, are taking things too far,taking the piss out of each other is all good in my book, but all this cancer .... and his other vitriol is out of order,he's the kind of prick who wouldn't say boo to a goose in real life for fear of getting battered yet he's on here giving it the big one...as for yourself... i mostly enjoy your posts but sometimes they can be a bit lengthy so to speak,hence i refered to them as 'lectures'

It hasn't been that for some time now!It's a motorcycle racing forum,
It hasn't been that for some time now!
If we leave aside the usual 'everything bad is Rossi's fault' posts, is just been plain unreadable of late.
I've got a couple of lads at work watching now, just so I can have some semi-sensible discussion post race weekend.
Macca
P.S. This post may or may not be Rossi's fault
You left a period out in the end.
That’s what you get when you leave Rossi in charge of development.

How very gracious of you that you don't mind me posting on here,if you will allow me one more post i promise it will be my last,i don't think i was being obliterated at all mate,i was more than holding my own until you chimed in with your abuse,while you continue to attack me you only feed the real troll on here more,good on you,he's laughing his ....... arse off now,this is the guy who refers to you as 'jp ........' remember?,enjoy your forum pal and don't bother responding because i won't be logging in again to read it,i've more than had my fill of internet warriors like synn and people like you,perhaps this forum needs moderating and the likes of synn wouldn't get away with his poison, and guys like me wouldn't feel compelled to respond,but if you and the likes of johnnyknockdown want to debate motorcycle racing with someone who calls you jp ........ and wishes cancer on people all the best to you.You don't get what I said and why I said it. I don't mind you posting here and I am not looking for you to top posting here. But thinking you are somehow going to one up synn in an insult contest. He obliterated you and there is literally nothing you can say that is going to get under his skin. He got under your skin big time that you're trying to go after him and he just laughs at you.
You openly admit to enjoy keeping the cycle going and it makes this forum unreadable when you do that. It makes you as big of a troll. It's a motorcycle racing forum, not a forum for seeing who can out troll and out insult the other person. We're always going to have fights and the like on here, just an inevitability, but wrecking thread after thread with flame wars is not ....... amusing by any stretch. I haven't been perfect on here and I'll admit to that completely. But this .... is on a whole different level. Synn posts, the same group of people come flocking to try and attack him like rabid dogs, and he doesn't give a ..... Get over it and move on instead of trying to one up him which is not going to happen.

My philosophy isn't to ignore scum it's to tackle it head on and eradicate it,what's that saying about evil triumphing if good men do nothing?,as far as i'm concerned every decent forum member should band together and hound this piece of .... until he either stops his behaviour or he ..... off somewhere else,when i try to do that i'm accused of being a troll myself,called a ....... .....,told i've been 'obliterated' by him thus building him up even more, or accused of ruining threads by johnnyknockdown when the troll decides to start one on racing,no one should be engaging this ........ when he wants to talk racing if he's going to continue wishing cancer on people or ....... their dead sisters,you can't switch it on or off when he wants to talk about bikes,it seems some people on here don't care who they interact with or just ignore it.Did you ever consider making use of the ignore button?
I'm well aware of his attacks on me and just ignored them because frankly why get drawn in? I've posted across a number of forums in the last 20 years and already dealt with this kind of stuff so much it doesn't matter to me. I once posted regularly on a forum that had members actively threatening to buy plane tickets to settle scores, so synn's insults rank somewhere around a 1 on my scale.
There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding on your part as I am not being snarky or snide when I say I'd like you to keep posting here. I'm just asking you to not get drawn into flame wars where you're not winning them.
Taking your ball home is a Rossi-esque thing to do by the way and makes you look thin-skinned.
I've mostly ignored your posts and when I kidded you I only ever jibed you with piss taking jokes. Never got hot and heavy. This .... is between me and Jum really, but like a good bopper, you want to get on the bandwagon. I haven't said much to you in the course of all this because - as boppers go, you're reasonably rational. If you want to make a thing of it, I can just ignore you too. There are plenty of interesting people on this forum who don't go 'round with an axe to grind. I really have no problem with you. If you're drawn to the whole mob mentality, that's on you.

Serious question, do you actually think you're going to run him off the forum?
