I have tried to give clues, but here is the deal, little rik and others like him, are well within the rules. They only thrive on people replying to them, to give a random reply, and so on ad nauseum.
Then people start breaking the forum rules, the staff gets angry and believe me, you should let sleeping dogs doing just that. If you notice LR doesnt span trough multiple threads, and his replies, incoherent they may be, only are directed at thise that bother with him. By giving LR attention, we are giving him a very undeserved legitimacy on this forum.
Sooo...your rules are such that your mods have to sit quietly and watch Rik basically ignore the rules about preaching and trolling so long as people are "engaging him," and then when people get sick of it and lash out in an attempt to drive him off (or have some fun at his expense in more or less the way he has fun at ours), those same mods are required to turn around and warn those members about insulting a toxic person who trolls constantly and hijacks threads. Do I have that about right?
And yes, he does post in multiple threads. He may mostly stick to one at a time, but once people start ignoring it he moves to a new one.
Besides, why does that even matter? People keep bringing up that "he only posts in one place" thing. Is there a loophole in the rules that allows trolls to troll as long as they stay in one thread? If so, why is it still there?
Let us clear some of yours many dogmas Pinky.
1) Stim already said that is not against the rules to proselytizing.
By the way when i ever did that?
The only time that I did mention my guru was when somebody asked me who I follow so no i never
did proselytizing.
By saying that i follow yoga that is not proselytizing.
2) I never start the fight.
When rude people swear to me like someone called Pinky I do not swear back.
By ridiculing the swearer is a way to back the swearer off so it is not me that start the fight.
3) Nobody is forced to read my posts so there shouldn't be any reason for whining about.
4) You talk all the time about the rules so why don't you follow them by not swearing at me
and in this way start all the trouble?
5) As I already said there is not such a thing as to hijacking the thread.
A forum is not a club in which people inside should follow the same principles.
In a forum arguing is the norm so if you don't like arguing with people you better apply for a club
that fit most your style of life.
Right?
