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?
Oh, are you addressing me? How droll.
Yes, preaching is against the rules of the forum, or at least members are intensely discouraged from it by the rules/etiquette document (I seem to recall something about expecting a broad, adverse reaction from the membership if you show up just to preach at/belittle people with no support for your assertions).
Yes, thread hijacking is a thing, as is trolling, and one piece of evidence that's generally looked for in both cases is a tendency to post the same response or type of response repeatedly and in different threads/conversations. The fact is that you had a whole thread of your own (3, actually) to yak about how you don't understand NDEs, and when that one died you went to another one (which isn't yours and isn't really about NDEs at all) to continue that discussion with no particular regard for the discussion taking place, and then when that thread died because of you hijacking it, you came here and started again. Even if there was some vague, minimal effort early on to at least mention the actual subject, that was evidently abandoned once your foot was in the door, and that is what makes you a hijacker, a troll, and a piece of human shit.
Now, you're probably right about one thing: you might not be outright breaking any form rules. Like most trolls, you have clearly taken pains to make sure you know the system well enough to abuse it without reproach. This, however, proves the point I was actually making, so thanks for that.
If the forum rules enable you to preach, jack threads, troll CONSTANTLY, and generally behave in a toxic fashion while the mods sit sequestered in "private discussions" (discussions that I no longer believe have ever taken place thanks to the multiple canned, bureaucratic responses mentioning them), and those same rules require those same mods to suddenly un-sequester themselves when real members get frustrated with your bullshit and respond on your level, then the rules are broken and need to be fixed. If the admins have to shelter you and punish/warn your opponents while you wear your bad behavior like a feather in your hat, that is a major flaw in the system that should have been addressed before now.
Personally, I try to always address something you've said when I respond, so I really don't think I'm in any danger of getting myself in trouble just by flaming you, but I fully realize that I'm probably cruising toward upsetting the staff with all this open-forum discussion about the rules and how they're enabling a toxic member to shit up the boards and whipping the people who are actually trying to throw the shit back where it came from. If I get in trouble, though, that's OK...just one less person to help these poor souls shovel the shit, and it will demonstrate my point more tidily than anything I could have typed.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
