Odbo puts a lot of good information on here. He has a grating style at times but he's not a troll.

Odbo is a troll, flamer, faggot, and Anti-semite.

His evidence is looney at best. Nobody cares about his conspiracy of the Jewish takeover.

Even if the Jews do and run the world, what is Odbo going to do about it? Jack shit.

You don't know me at all. You better watch your back.

Take care of this.

Dang, did you write that ph visitor? That's vicious.

You guys, I understand you are angry and need to vent, but can't you vent without attacking each other and engaging in flame wars? We are not your enemy here. The enemy is out there. We are supposed to unite here against that outside enemy, remember?

It's just like a cancer: you can either excise and destroy the cancer at the first sign of trouble, or you can sit back and wait (because it's "small") while the cancer grows, until it's too entrenched to do anything about. And we all know what happens when cancer spreads too much or reaches vital body organs...

I agree but unfortunately Winston is incapable of detecting blatantly obvious, over the top trolls, much less more subtle ones. Site traffic is growing because Winston was an early and courageous pioneer of an idea whose time has come, but since he is blind, deaf and dumb when it comes to discerning those with hostile intent, he needs to reinstate Repatriate or find another good mod or else other sites will come along to continue what he started.

There is only one troll here, and he only misbehaves sometimes, not all the time.

One troll isn't going to damage a forum.

As to IntotheWild, I don't see any evidence of trolling. He just disagrees and debates. Just because you don't like his opinions, doesn't make him a troll.

I already gave warnings about this, and will issue bans if this keeps up. It's a shame some people can't control themselves. We are supposed to unite against the real enemy, not each other.

Chile, please stop posting insults. That's enough. It is going nowhere and you have to learn to stop wasteful activity. Focus on something positive.

I will cease and desist all trolling activity. The insults will be gone. I can't say the others won't talk shit, but it's the roll of the dice.

I am working on my rage/emotional issues and I'm writing up an article about Trust and Friendships. It will be epic.

Anyone who wants to attack me has free reign because I am Mr. Untouchable. Can't touch this sexiness. RAWRR!!

No, he just edited that in by hand.

Here is a screen shot of his PM in my PM inbox.



Here is a screenshot of my PM outbox:



As you can see my PM contains nothing as he has represented.

Here are all my recent PM's as displayed in my outbox.

Remember, Winston: Cancer does not start off big, it starts off with a single bad cell. Cancer happens when that single bad cell is allowed to grow and spread unchecked. Please heed our warnings, Winston. Sure, chileanueva might be just "one troll", but leaving even one troll unchecked can do a lot of damage, just like that one (seemingly insignificant) cancerous cell.

ph_visitor deleted his pms in his outbox. I exposed ph_visitor as a liar and a fraud. His sexual orientation is questionable too.

I didn't invent cancer. Seriously, go cry me a river if you can't handle greatness - which is me.

Alright, chileanueva has been banned again.

Apparently, he kept sending hostile PM's to people, and got out of hand.

I've banned his email and IP's too, so he won't be back for a while at least.

He'll be back tomorrow.

This board is full of cancer now, it's one of the hazards of running a forum. I must say that I have the same problem with my own sites - the quality of comments doesn't say much for the intelligence levels of the average internet user.

More worryingly I have a page about studying for a science degree course and 90% of the commenters are illiterate.

Full of cancer? It's just ONE GUY who was the troll. One guy can't ruin a good forum. Who else do you consider a cancer to the forum?

Winston, all it takes is just one troll to severely degrade the quality of a forum.
