Its been recently pointed out, that Paul-Michel is the most (sic) "ignored" person on this forum. No surprise really, as he seems to have been aiming for that, in a very strange way.
I too am high up on the ignore list, and why I am so successful at pissing others off? Its lists.
I've taken alot of abuse because of that, but stuck it through. I always thought some would be useful, and so it has seemed to transpire.
I wish Paul-Michel were not banned. Pistanator, Wiganwill, Fred, and JahTim are a few that also sided with Paul-Michel's right to expression. True, its a small minority, and the great majority wish he were gone. I am still a pariah to some on this forum, and its not been right. Still, I believe in freedom of choice, as much as expression, and I'm sure its not hard to just ignore someone.
To me, Paul-Michel demonstrates a sort of writing version of Touret's Syndrome. It seems as if he can't quite control or contain himself, and whatever pops into his mind, leaps out onto the keyboard.
I've witnessed much blood-letting on this forum, and I've seen Pistanator as an instigator, and also on the receiving end. We're not banning him. I've wound up many (not intentionally, but it didn't matter), and I'm not banned.
When Edscoble gets a bit over-excited, others will tell him.
We are better and richer for being different. I'm not like BMMF, and he and I can both thank Lucifer for that. Difference is good.
Can't we educate Paul-Michel in forum etiquette, and if he doesn't learn, we then do an about-face, and treat his posts as we would leperous clothing?
I don't think he can help himself. And THAT'S why its funny to me. Like a kid with temporary inner ear damage.....bumping into everything, and falling over. Funny, and tragic.
Un-ban. If its reasonable........
