Starting from page nine (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=577889&page=9) and continuing. I'm not sure if the guy is trolling/flame-baiting/something I've not heard of, but would a mod please review it.
(I know I've done nothing to help the situation. So, I'm just going to post this and leave it at that.)

It's now become a "discredit the quasi-sophisticated troll" thread. I think it was a bad idea to start, given the number of God v. Not God threads already cooking in General. Perhaps Valentasia needs his own thread where he can make is vastly inflated claims and others can bang their heads against his persona all they want, provided they keep it out of other threads?

Just a thought.

Just a thought.I just want a little bit of evidence to back up his claim. Even a bit of bad evidence would suffice right now.

As did I, I did keep asking him for it... :(

As did I, I did keep asking him for it... :(I know! It was...frustrating, especially when he was asked politely the first few times.


Thanks, Kryozerkia. If you're the mod that did it. (I'm not 100% positive.)

Okay, I'll leave alone the "catch a troll in lies from other forums" bit, and stick to talking about his moon theory.

But in return, you must play flute at my son's wedding.

And he's gone and made another thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=577928) about the same thing.

Oh, and this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14344060&postcount=14) in that thread, as well.

I was about to... but someone else beat me to it! :D

I was about to... but someone else beat me to it! :DQuick, now's your chance! :D(See my post above yours.)

Quick, now's your chance! :D(See my post above yours.)

now, now, lets give him a chance to write up his theory for us.

Why in the name of all that's wonderful you all kept it going for 16 pages is more than I can fathom, even allowing for post-holiday boredom.

With so many normally sane people doing so many silly things, I can only say --

Please choose the reproof most appropriate to your particular transgression:

Do Not Feed The Troll, People!

also

Stick To The Topic!

and

Post, Not Poster!

and all the other things you've all known since you began posting.

I'd rather not start handing out infractions for such nonsense, but I will if this sort of behaviour is repeated. Cut it out.

now, now, lets give him a chance to write up his theory for us.Okay, okay.


Do Not Feed The Troll, People!
Stick To The Topic!
Cut it out.:salute: Yes, ma'am! I will complete the task that you have set before me with alacrity!

Deal -- and remember, you asked for it. I'm a vocalist.

On topic: THANK YOU, Mods.

Okay, I was off topic on the first thread...but on that second one he made, I really wanted to hear what he had to say. I tried to stay on topic. And 'Tange and the other person were having a pretty good go at the idea.

Can we please hear about the moon theory? It might not even be trolling, he might really believe it. And there's some non-zero possibility that's he's right.

Please?

Please?Well, he's "leaving" in one thread, and in the other, he's just "off to make a few line graphs". I'd like to hear his theory, but the chance of hearing it is becoming vanishingly small.

Do Not Feed The Troll, People!

Aww, c'mon, if we don't feed him he'll grow sick and die...

Are you encouraging murder/genocide? :p

I'm strongly encouraging a reasonably adult approach to what could be an actual discussion. The alternative is yet another thread lost to intellectual self-indulgence. Hold the ridicule and heavy on the reasoning, please.

Having endured V's first visit, I'm disinclined to lend any credence to his megalomaniacal thread-wanderings. He's a serial forum troll who complains about being banned or bullied when he brings it all on himself. That said, I have no problem with letting him hang himself.

Wilco. I appreciate your impartiality on this matter, even if I don't believe V deserves the kindness.
