i need topics to remind me that LMS makes topics
I wonder how many I've been gleefully missing now
literally obsessed
I guess I can get that perspective but it's genuinely hard to see sometimes if its meant to be a helpful thing or if it's just bullying for the sake of it.

It can't be bullying if it has absolutely zero effect on the targetThis aspect in particular made me feel the need to block him. He's one of the rare net negatives on the board predominantly because he doesn't engage in conversation. Even when he quotes a post, the information he dumps underneath it is largely not germane to the post he supposedly chose to reply to. Someone described him in another topic as an AI poster, and that's extremely fair. A message board is supposed to be for the exchange of ideas, but LMS neither has ideas of his own nor exchanges them for anyone else's.
We should discuss Super Mario 3D Land in the next LMS topicGame is legit underrated af and I wholeheartedly endorse more discussion of it.
He's a grown man sharing his experience with us, but his naivety is equivalent to a 7ish year old.
Has anybody ever actually gotten to know LMS?
It can't be bullying if it has absolutely zero effect on the targetIt's non zero for sure. People thought bullying ertyu wasn't real either but it was.
LMS hasn't done anything like that in many years, so either he's totally risen above it or it's what he wants now.
Didn't he call you out for bullying him in the MCU topic, causing you to block him, like a year ago?
That would be an odd reason for me to block him.
I don't remember the exact thing that caused me to block him. It was just the accumulation of years of nonsense that made me decide it wasn't worth it to keep dealing with him anymore.
And based on what little I've heard about him since then, nothing has changed, so life has moved on just fine for the both of us.
LMS is harmless, but can we stop pretending like he's really being bullied?
Everyone here has made it clear that they don't care about these bizarre rants he gets from right wing grifters and being like "Hahaha yeah I know anyway here's some more things I learned from there."
People don't go out of their way to find LMS posts and start talking shit and actively being cruel to him. They are just saying "What the fuck man?" when he jumps into a topic to spread his nonsense. Where are all of these bullying posts when he comes in with some nonsense that he knows that nobody cares about hearing? If LMS has a problem with people telling him to shut up then maybe he should stop posting things he knows nobody here wants to hear about.
Or maybe people should stop telling him to shut up? It is clearly not actually going to make him shut up. It hasn't until now. Making those posts is not some selfless thing about helping LMS, it's a selfish release of frustration.No, the selfless thing was when people went out of their way, many times, to get him to understand that it's not healthy to keep following those weirdo grifters and that he should try to come up with opinions on his own and that he shouldn't shoehorn these thoughts from right wing phonies into every conversation.
I'd say when it's multiple people repeatedly attacking a single guy who hasn't actually made any personal attacks themselves, bullying is a fair assessment. Even when they have , it could be considered that (see ertyu).
Nothing anybody says has absolutely any effect on what he posts. Him having an occasional reaction to something somebody says to him doesn't change my original assertion.
So you mean that he won't change his way of posting (ie he's still going to post these word salads about the mcu, star wars, youtubers, etc) despite being attacked every time he makes a post - and this lack of change on his part is what makes it not bullying, somehow?
No, the selfless thing was when people went out of their way, many times, to get him to understand that it's not healthy to keep following those weirdo grifters and that he should try to come up with opinions on his own and that he shouldn't shoehorn these thoughts from right wing phonies into every conversation.
The telling him to shut up after came from him refusing to listen. It should really be so incredibly easy for him to say "Alright, I guess these folks don't want to hear with the Quartering has to say about Brie Larsen today, so I'll just not bring it up." And yet he continually does. People could not be more clear to him. At some point, people like that should be told to shut up because they clearly aren't getting it.
"But if you tell him to shut up, he still won't get it." Then in that case who cares. But we don't need people pearl clutching for LMS of all people when he's brought the way he's treated her entirely on himself.
LMS has awareness but its on us for constantly enabling his behavior by engaging him
perhaps we are the ones who need to stop
Calling people out for bad posts isn't always bullying, no. I know your philosophy is always "just ignore it," which I'd argue isn't always the best policy.
In LMS's case, it actually works because he doesn't pay attention to anyone anyway, but I'd argue he's the exception.
Like if your goal is to make us all realize we were the bad guys all along, sorry, that's not gonna happen.
Nah this is different to like MWC or whoever because they were deliberately and offensively provocative and attacking him was playing into his hands, and I don't get why you would ever want to do that

but we don't have that so telling him 'you're stupid, shut up' is what we got.
