A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

[abaris]

Well, I guess how much this particular "Overwhelming Negatve Influence" is actually contributing to discussions is up for debate, then.  Given how much he(and let's face it, we all know who is being discussed) likes to antagonize and minimize the feelings of anyone that shows the slightest bit of vulnerability due to past experience, spends dozens of pages arguing semantics only to try and backtrack later, courts controversy for the sake of courting controversy, and generally relishes in getting a reaction out of people, I'm confident he's just trolling at this point.  

I never even thought of reporting him or anything along these lines, in order to have him banned. Everytime he opens a thread or derails yet another discussion, I feel nothing but contempt. Because he obviously is an apalling example of a human being. He's one of the people I certainly wouldn't want to know in real life. But that goes for some others here too, without calling for their ban. Atheists and christians alike. Funnily enough for the same reasons. Showing next to no empathy as far as others are concerned. And he, if we don't name names, gives even christians a bad name. He's the best advertising against his brand of christianity.
