>>9994925>It legit takes more of an effort to go to a new and early thread instead of literally continuing a discussion you were just a part ofSure. But it also takes more effort than either of those to create a new "proper" thread and to then deduce which is "real" rather than just going to the first replacement. Especially if you just got here and see the bumping thread at the top of the catalogue.
>What are you on aboutWe don't have much power. Mods and jannies are nonexistent/don't care and the only methods of "fighting" him just give him what he's after.
>Unless it doesn'tWhich sucks, I agree. But nothing we can do about that.
>What shitstorm, the shitstorm of a pleasant and polite set of discussions in a thread we willingly went to, to avoid any of his shit?More like the shitstorm we're having now of getting angry about him and arguing over how to deal with him. You are literally feeding him. the attention/headspace he thrives on.
>The schizo went from seeking compromise/reconciliation (from a narcissistic pov) to promises of retribution.I remember, and it was retarded, but you're also misremembering. The douchebag wasn't going "Be nice to me or else I'll be mad!" he was going "Either lick my boot or I'll kick your teeth out and I don't actually care which".
Which brings me to
>You're either poorly reading him, or ARE him. "We should have our discussions be dictated by his whim because anything else is being mean or just like him, you should give him what he wants instead of giving him what he wants"This is the crux of the issue. The guy's a legit sociopath with NO LOSE CONDITION. He likes talking about Transformers and is happy to do so. He also likes seeing people upset and angry at him/what he's done. He doesn't care either way. Engagement is engagement. Trying to punish him is pointless because just acknowledging he exists is a win for him. He can't lose, but we can win by not allowing him to get mad at him.
