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.

Unless you think the whole thing is a meticulously constructed and false persona (in which case attacking him is playing into his hands), you are simply attacking him for being who he is.

ertyu rigged contests and insulted people all the time. The way the board treated him was still bullying. "He brought this all on himself" is bully victim blaming statement 101.

This is the way LMS is. It is clearly not going to change. This is not some created online persona (it's possible he has self awareness and has dialled it up, but I have my doubts). So then you're just attacking a guy for being the way he is - when "the way he is" is someone who virtually never insults anybody on a personal level, posting on a forum where there's a way to both never see his posts and ensure he never sees yours. Yet people choose to repeatedly dogpile on him whenever he makes a topic or post.
