Maybe we should just abandon Houston to his ilk, and all move to the Vermont forum.

Nope. Easier than that. If no one responds to his posts, what's he going to do?

It won't stop him from posting but he ain't going to be having any fun since he'll be talking to himself.

Try this: No one respond to any of his posts for the next week nor mention his handle. See what happens.

There is a major flaw in this whole "Don't feed the Troll and he will go away" schitck..........he is not talking to you......he is talking around you to all of the window shoppers.

His audience is the 5000+ views in this threAD........he could care less whether you respond or not.

You lost the moment you came back to the thread to see what he posted........ijs

It takes a collective effort. Trolls don't care who they're talking to. It's all about getting a response, the angrier the better.

No, that will not make the Troll go away. They just won't get the feedback gratification that they're looking for. And that's their whole purpose in being a Troll ... to get feedback and acknowledgement.

My apologies for the edit......I have a bad habit of doing that after the fact.

Yes you are exactly right. But if you, and everyone else, don't give him the satisfaction of a response you collectively kill the thrill.

Trolls crave attention. They crave feedback, angry feedback, even more. And applause from the Peanut Gallery for being confrontational.

Its like dealing with a 3 year old. Ignore 'em and they'll stop crying when they see it isn't working.

O.K. Isn't your whole purpose exactly the same?

You (generic) have never understood that Wakeup is different from a troll. He is not a troll. Treating him like a troll is a continued path of failure.

He is perfectly happy with laying a big deuce in the middle of a threAD and watching it set there........unresponded to........but, most definitely not ignored.

Luckily there's a constant inflow of fucking newbies that don't know better . You just failed again !

Wakeup's photo collection:

Dearhunter and Classy Sex,
Dearhunter and Mikki Fine,
Dearhunter and Cassandra,
Dearhunter and Sarunga.

Seems like it's time for a Top Ten List

No not all. It's a discussion if you haven't noticed.

Yes that is true. So you got a better idea? Sounds like you enjoy being a rabble-rouser yourself.

Fine. If that's how he gets his jollies. Nothing anyone can do about it except ignore him. Unless you have a better idea?

There is someone on here who keeps harassing him and pointing out what a douche he is. I notice that WU stopped replying to his posts. Maybe that works.

Being ignored will certainly make it less fun.

[dearhunter]

I call bullshit.........there is no way he has photos of me with Mikki Fine........I have standards.

All kidding aside for a moment to adabear, lickity and anyone else jumping on the bandwagon to nowhere......there is only one effective way to deal with Wakeup's posts. You remove their sting by not becoming offended, irritated, upset (or whatever it is you call your whining) or angry.

When he calls hooktards "whores", accept that he considers them whores without developing an attitude about it.

When he calls fat hooktards "fat whores", agree the fat hooktard is fat without calling her a "whore".

When he calls you a pussy (and he will) for attempting to modify his board behavior, accept the extra 500 hits he brings to the thread as the gift that keeps on giving that he is.

or not as you wish.
