    He really does come off as the most butthurt person here by constantly neg repping several people with meanigless rep for the better part of a year.

    The whole thing is fucking hilarious because he isnt aware of how much of a loser he looks like. :lol:

    The Flashlight is not a good troll.

    The Flashlight is genuinely less effective than anyone here who is intentionally or unintentionally trolling.

    The Flashlight genuinely adds no substance to the board.

    The Flashlight's laughable rep bombing is made invisible using the ignore function.

    Problem solved.

    I have a mental image of dozens of semen encrusted socks on his floor, probably made between periods of neg repping.

    Somehow, the fact that it was you posting that is wholly appropriate.

    Think back to the last time the Flashlight said anything worth reading.

    You can't because as he has said over and over again, he believes this place is no longer a worthwhile place to contribute to, it's only purpose is a place troll.

    If get tired of his reps, then just put him on ignore. Only you'll miss are the neg reps.

    All honesty, the reps amuse me. It's like he's walking around with a sign that says, "I'm a giant retard with no voice."

    I always wonder what the reaction is supposed to be to rep bombing that's the desired outcome.

    "Omigawd!! That's so many!! :shock: This guy means business! He's a real Billy Badass to put in that much effort! I'm...I'm askeered! *Hides behind computer chair* *Eyes water up* Please, God, don't let him get me! I'll do charity work, I'll go to Church, just please don't let him get me!!! :pwease:".

    Serious though, what is the deal with the reps? I've already said at least three of four times on hear that I have him on ignore yet he labours away with the neg repping. How do I know? Because the neg reps still show in the posts I go back and edit sometimes. But he doesn't seem to grasp that once he's on ignore they don't spam up the poster's feed or, frankly, even register. I just don't get it when you would carry on such an ineffectual effort. If it's to get a bit of attention then is this thread the best he can do? If it's something else, well, it's just not working, is it? :lol:

    He's naive and a bit dim, but I think FF is otherwise a pretty decent lad. I'm not convinced the piling on is warranted where he's concerned.

    Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. You'll find I pos rep him fairly often, just as an example, but the "me too" kind of stuff that he likes to pull earns a healthy dose of derision.

    Probably the guy that keeps returning to a community he can only ever criticise and whine about on and off it. :)

    Strange that Volpone would call himself a dumbass. That's an outstanding level of self-awareness.

    And of course there's the fact that he couldn't contribute to any place in any case.

    Flashy came to my defense when nobody else would, except for maybe garamet and so I found it amusing when he neg repped the shit out of you guys. He also did the same for me, but with pos reps. So I try to carry on the tradition as much as I can. I tried neg repping the shit out of Tererun, but I got sick of it after a while. I'll admit, I neg repped you just for fun a few times even when I didn't think it was dumb. Unlike Flashlight, I don't think this place is useless, although it would be nice to see some new faces and I'd like to see Castle return. If he's not going to participate anymore, that's fine, but I wish he would. I like the reps and I think they are funny, but I don't hate you gul, I just don't agree with you. You actually remind me of my step-brother, which is why I like to fuck with you. The only person I really just think is a worthless piece of shit is Ten Lubak.

    Indeed. He's said on more than one occasion that to him the most enjoyable aspect of Wordforge is "poo flinging." In similar vein, John Castle once remarked that he liked to use Wordforge as his "mental toilet."

    That must be why they call it shitposting. There's something very Freudian about the whole thing, in the manner of a book I once read about the psychology of men's room graffitti:

    He who writes on shithouse walls
    rolls his shit in little balls
    and you who read these lines of wit
    eat those little balls of shit.
