This poster has been responding with the same message for several pages. It effectively adds nothing to the debate, and he's admitted that it's an attempt at derailing the thread. Also, confessed flamebait:

...and more:

I think it's pretty funny how long I got you to keep coming back and responding just by hitting ctrl+v. Like a trained dog! But I tire of this. Good day sir.

Oh no, I gave up any hope of reasoning with him a while ago. It's clearly no use. I've just been trolling him for a while, but it seems he'll keep responding if I just hit ctrl+v over and over again. I'm still wondering how long until he gives up. It's as if he's got some perverse fetish with arguing with a wall.

...so he doesn't go back and edit the posts to remove all evidence, of course.

This is weird. I had made a post here on this. I had made a ruling!

In any case, I know I did it before Blouman posted because I was up early since I had a final at 8:30.

Apparently, he's not done being upset. Four posts in another thread, all of them in reply to me and all of them about the other thread.

He's basically come down to doing the same thing as last night. Seriously, I hope he gets over it, but the current evidence doesn't make that seem likely.

Looking at those four recent posts, I conclude that it's not a crime to be off-topic, nor to be a pest. That doesn't mean it's not annoying. Jocabia, if he's just being a fly on the wall, I think you can safely ignore him. If he spams, flames or trolls, do let us know.

I'm not annoyed. I'd actually like to see him learn that people's responses to posts generally aren't personal.

It was really that his only contribution to the thread was to attempt to annoy me.
