Cephkiller Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I think the best course of action in the future with this guy is utter indifference. He is either: A) Pulling our chains and trying to get a rise out of us (and if so, he has been quite successful) or A complete moron and nothing we say could possibly rehabilitate him Maybe we should all just ignore him and he will go away or change his attitude.

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Ceph, what's up? I'm confused, no member here by that name. ? Quote
phisher_d Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I think he means the starter of this thread. Quote
basser89 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Ah, phisher_d, ya beat me too it! LOL! Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 Oh Ceph, do I have to choose between A and B ? :-/, can I choose both ?. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 I stand behind everything I said in that post .... It's the truth. : ;D Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 Not to offend any of you young honest guys. But thegreatestfisher falls in that age of guys we usually have problems with. (16-20yrs old) He just made everything he will ever say on this site useless. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 fluke,dont make him mad......I could see him loading up his inner tube on top of his Yugo,going straight to Varner and catching every bass over 10 lbs in about a half a day.You dont want that do you?He's THAT good!Just ask him! : Quote
Yankee_Bassman Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 From another of his posts: when i caught my 18 pound bass at waurika lake i was so excited and me and my fishing buddy were having a fishing contest and he was ahead by 11 pounds and it was getting dark and i through it out along the dam and wham he hit it and it was a hard fight and my heart was racing with excitement because i thought it was a decent size but when it turned out to be a 18 pounder i was really excited and i whooped up on my friend after word He has plenty of time to fish, because he clearly isn't wasting time in English class..... Seriously, I think this is somebody yankin' our chains..... Have mercy, guys...life is hard, and it must be even harder when you're stupid... Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 I went back an looked at his past posts. This guy was doggin folks on his first post. I think he has joined the wrong site. Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 life is hard, and it must be even harder when you're stupid... OMG ! now that 's funny right there. ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User 5bass Posted January 20, 2006 Super User Posted January 20, 2006 I'm on it. Thanks guys Do an IP check and see if he has any other board names...... Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Glenn has been notified and RW has been monitoring it, it's in good hands. Seems most here have his number anyway, we just aren't used to it,.......but that's why we've stayed. Fluke hit it on the head, anything he says after what he's already said, should just be listed in everything else under Matt-fly's "joke of the day" unless he changes his ways soon. Quote
Cajun1977 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Maybe we should all just ignore him and he will go away or change his attitude. Quote
5150bass Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I think our best bet is to ignore "thegreatestfisher", this person really needs attention, and is trying to get a rise out of everyone. I don't think we should respond to anything he says. If you see a post by him, don't even read it. My 2 cents worth. 5150bass Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 21, 2006 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 21, 2006 I've deleted most of his posts and sent a stern warning. IP's are automatically logged, so it's painstakenly easy for me to ban him, if it comes to that. But I have a hunch he's just looking for respect -- just going about it the wrong way. I gave him some pointers, the choice is in his hands. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 21, 2006 Super User Posted January 21, 2006 Glenn, it sounds like you put your finger right on it. He's just a kid and is probably accustomed to "Chatroom" mentality (IRC). Quote
abelfisher Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Oh man, I just wish I was as good as he is. I like the idea to just ignore him and not even read his posts. After he sees no one is reading his posts, he'll go away. Quote
Guest avid Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Glenn, I think it was very generous of you to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he will come to realize that the value of this site is to be real and honest. The folks here will do whatever they can to help anyone. The usenet is the place for unmoderated ignorance.

afroengineer Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I like the idea to just ignore him and not even read his posts. After he sees no one is reading his posts, he'll go away. You almost have to read it though, just to see what he makes up next. lol Quote
Cephkiller Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 I wasn't really out to get the guy banned. I just felt that I and several others were perhaps having a little bit too much fun with him and maybe we were "feeding the beast". Anyway, I hope he sticks around. You have to admit he's pretty funny. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 21, 2006 Super User Posted January 21, 2006 He was pathetic...the replies from the fellows were funny Quote
KYbass1276 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I wouldn't say he was pathetic he is just a kid with his heart in the wrong place. Maybe he will heed glenns advice and use this site as a tool to become better or so we should hope. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted January 21, 2006 Super User Posted January 21, 2006 It takes all kinds to make the world go around. This kid is a laugh a minute. .He definately has issues. Quote
