I'm used to getting PMs from people who think I suck.

Never in my life could I fathom being so annoyed by a post that I'd send someone a personal message to tell them how much I hate them, but hey it takes all kinds.

Just block them and move on. It's best for everyone.

And yes, you can turn off the thumbs deal, or just turn off giving and taking thumbs down like I did. Everything is cheery in my thumbland.

The best one I ever got was "Go shit on a sidewalk!!!!"

I sent a bitchy and nasty response but I gotta admit I was chuckling when I opened that one up.

The most annoying thing about the up/downvotes for me is it allows people to blatantly participate in prohibited topics, especially political discussions and crude insults, without consequence. Someone can post something saying Trump sucks or NFL players suck, and people can enthusiastically thumb it up and they can do so without fear of moderation. I've done it too - and why not? There's no risk and everybody else is doing it. But it's really not much worse than what the "offender" is doing, and it certainly stokes the prohibited discussion just as much as responding in a post does.

Oh god here comes 20 straight sarcastic "safe space" and "triggering" posts from the usual suspects...

Right on cue

Corny's back?

I doubt it. He'd out himself in about 10 minutes. There's only one Cornelius!

A thumb.

I don't think you made less money than him.

Something like that, but a little more pathetic.

With him, it was ALWAYS a little more pathetic.

Yay everybody! Corny's back!

Your idiot friend wants to take a "creepy" pic of me while he's in my bar putting up shitty scores on my machine (come on Corny, even YOU can do better than 25,000 on Dialed In!!) of course I'm flipping him the bird.

And really I was flipping you the bird.

But welcome back. I'm sure you've learned a lot and changed your behavior and are ready to become a positive contributor to the pinball community.

Or maybe you'll just still be a hot, stalky mess who manages to get himself banned from more pinball events.

Man what kind of Pearl clutching SJW doesn't see the humor in that pic?!

Atari roots / Cornelius (not his government name!!!!) was banned from replay FX FOR LIFE for making death threats to other attendees. He was banned from the SoCo bar league he played in for making other players uncomfortable. He's been banned from every pinball and arcade forum, including this one.

These are facts. Even he won't dispute this.

He's always got a fresh sob story but it always comes back to his sociopathic and anti-social behavior. This is nothing new.

He's had a million chances to change but he's incapable of it. So what are you gonna do?

Damn did corny win the lottery?

I gotta say donating to buy ban immunity is a novel angle but i don't think it legit works.

I wonder how much Atari Boots is gonna donate.

Banned?!

Atari Moot.

You got along without the internet for like 35 years, yet here we are.

It's true. I argue with more people from more backgrounds and geographic locations than ever before - like a 20X factor than before all this smartphone business. Back in the day it was tough to carry on petty fights with more than 3 or 4 people at a time.
