The only way to deal with those two passive aggressive trolls is to repeatedly stomp on their balls. and show them the contempt their disengenuous bullshit deserves.
They are not here to debate, or exchange ideas, or enlighten, but rather only to annoy.
No, that doesn't deal with them at all, Banks. This is what I have been trying to explain to you (among others) all the way along.
It has no significant impact on them whatsoever, whether they put somebody on ignore or not. And it isn't like he doesn't look at posts on ignore much of the time, anyway.
Kid has been quite clear that he only posts much of the time to be annoying. He is not the only one who has stated that as a primary goal.
If it were my board, not Liq's, they'd be gone long since, because they are, as you said, not here to add anything.
Josh-you take them seriously. I don't. You see it as either cathartic or you think that trying to deal with them as reasonable actors you can change their behavior.
You won't.
they are not here to debate, but to troll and annoy.
So you can engage them in hours of discussion, but its a massive waste of time.
I'd rather identify a piece of shit, yell at the guy who left the shit here, remind him he's an anti-social piece of shit, and assume that poor behavior will be repeated, as I've little remedy to change their poor behavior.
as you saw earlier today I shamed Elba's village idiot to run away in shame when caught in his lie.
IMO there is some value to that.
YMMV
And you're certainly free to reach out to kid and Red and spend endless hours trying to modify and correct their poor behavior.
