I have not, in my consideration, wasted any time on him. I could not simply let such statements go unanswered, especially since he asked me a few questions that I can answer. He may listen to me more than some of the others since he does seem to somewhat consider me as a friend. Be careful on how you write his name, as it's spelled as a combination of the words Nintendo and Sega; therefore, there isn't an N after the E. I had first though his name was spelled that way, but had realized on my own that it wasn't after a close examination. It's true that there are many others like him, but they are sometimes best ignored when they do perform foolish antics.
Actually that was a typo on my part, stupid keyboard!

And as far as messaging to answer questions him that's fine, I just thought I would give you a heads up on his method of operation. AFAIK I was never considered "disliked" by Nintega, until the near the end when I just plain gave up and responded to his bs, with bs right back. Maybe you can do something no one else has managed to do, and make him change for the better, though don't hold your breath, because chances are he will wear you out. Like I said he would start out most times, behaving and actually contributing something positive to the discussion, then all of the sudden...BAM insta negative, aggressive, the world is out to get me mode. Once when, oldskool joined up and made a post of the tg-16 haul he made, Nintega started saying stuff like, "I hate you!" and "What kind of friend give you a system with problems?". (quotes are approximate) We called him out on his behavior, and gave him plenty of chances to amend it, but he just kept digging himself deeper. If you look at the shoutbox history (if you can get it to completely load without crashing your browser, it's freaking huge), you can see nobody ever outright attacked him, or said anything negative about him UNTIL he started to fling crap. Near the beginning of his time on pcfx.com, we excused it, told him that we don't want that sort of behavior here, and tried to even give him advise. We were kind and civil with him at first, but it was all for naught. No matter how much we did so, it was a never ending viscous cycle of:
fine -> trolling -> warning -> "Ok I'll behave" and back to the beginning again.
When it became apparent he was an one act show, we very quickly grew tired of his antics, some more than others. Really I'd be more than happy for him to come back if and ONLY if he actually would change his ways and talk like in normal civilized manner all the time, instead of degrading to what often amounted to personal attacks, and not dropping the subject. However given his past track record this is extremely likely to happen, and I'm not willing to let him back on pcfx.com to find out. He had his chance (actually more like 10) and every time he screwed up.
When you warn a child about their behavior, but never punish them, do they ever stop? Most likely not, what kid would stop doing something he or she was doing because a grown-up is just warning them? Sometimes the kid doesn't even understand what is wrong with their behavior, so why should they stop? It's not until they see the prospect of some real punishment that they will be motivated to stop. However often punishment alone is not enough, you need to teach the child WHY their behavior was inappropriate, and the child must actually learn why. Otherwise it's just a cycle of misbehaving -> punishment -> misbehaving -> punishment -> so on.
Nintega is much like that kid, except he doesn't grow up or learn, as he is proven by his stalking youtube accounts, after being banned. Obviously banning him isn't punishment enough to make him want to change. Most importantly of all though is that he doesn't think that he has actually done anything wrong and thinks he is being treated unfairly. See the similarity in his cycle and the one in the example about the child?
But we aren't singling him out, he broke rules, and choose to continue breaking them even after being warned several times, so we dealt with him like we would any other member doing the same thing. Why would we be singling him out unless there was something he was doing to make us "attack" him as he feels is happening? Because he's fat? No that makes no sense OldSchoolGamer told us that he is very fat himself. Maybe it's because he's young? Nah I'm 21 and we have others that are younger, and we get along just fine. Maybe it's because he lives in a small backwater town. Nope I also live in a small backwater town, though currently am not there as I am attending college. Missa lives in a very small in the middle of nowhere town too. Maybe because we think he is a loser and because he loves to play games and has no girlfriend? Nope can't be it either, I am a huge video game nerd, probably bigger than Nintega, and have no girlfriend, so that rules that out.
The matter of the fact is no one is singling him out, like I stated he broke rules and his behavior and conduct was inappropriate. If someone else did the same, guess what? They would get the same treatment. It's really not that hard to get along with us at all.
P.S. He did mention being bi-polar, and if so that may explain part of his behavior, but not excuse it. He often tried using it as a crutch a to why he was such an ass most of the time, though again that doesn't make it ok.
