I hate this thread. You get exactly the opposite of what you hope when you click the link.

No need to tell him to delete his account, and I really don't think he's a troll. Just a younger poster that clearly likes the attention.

Guy posts a little too much and needs a better filter, but to be fair to him he has already actually improved his filter a lot since he first signed up and he has tried to be a valuable contributor to this forum.

If posters would just see who is posting the rumor and take it with a grain of salt instead of jumping all over him it wouldn't turn into such a debacle.

Posters should be responsible for the things they post.

Inciting the message board based on a statement he knows to be inaccurate solely for the attention he receives due to the inaccuracies should be a bannable offense in my opinion, Barring that, the rest of the community should be made aware of his failings as a poster so they can do as you suggest, take his posts with a grain of salt or outright ignore him entirely, which is what I normally do except for when he incites the board to respond to his attention seeking behaviour, taking over the thread as a result.

I am quite enjoying this pub guy insight.

It's note quite the original Orange Julius story, or finding Jay Feaster at the airport, but it is enjoyable.

No. Lets savage him.

If he hasn't been banned in the past year for all he's said or done, this certainly isn't going to be the tipping point.

Alright settle down there RoboCop. This thread was full of hundreds of useless posts before that one, and it will be flooded with them in no time at all.

At least that one was really funny.

What has he done to be banned? It's just a couple more flicks on the mouse wheel.

edit: granted there was that one thread where he denied the holocaust happened.

I just made that up

While I am 100% in agreement about his attention-seeking behaviour, you might want to examine the bolded part while taking a look in the mirror.

You're the same guy who posted three separate times in the Stone thread that he hasn't looked good to you this year and that you think he's slow. I think your point was made the first time you said it. The third time, you were even quoting yourself to repeat the throught yet again. If that's not attention seeking, I don't know what is.

No, come on, I'm obviously joking. That never happened.

Perhaps the greatest "source" ive ever seen. A random guy chatting at a restaurant leads scorp to have "reason to believe" we're trading Jokkipakka or Wideman.

Let it rest man. He is nothing but an overzealous Flames fan.

Put him on ignore and stop with your crusade

Even if it's just broken clock syndrome, I am pulling incredibly hard for one of those two guys to get moved to vindicate Scorpion on this one!

Wow, people get really butthurt over minor stuff. Banning someone for a weak rumour, for which the poster subsequently apologized for? LOL, throw the book at him! The internet is seriouz bizness!

[TheIronMaiden]

To be fair this thread is 90% baseless trade speculation followed by swift ridicule of said speculation. The last 3 pages are par for the course.
