    You know the attention whores like Buttyurt and Toxic Hellwhore thrive on that, right? More than anything else, they hate being ignored. Buttyurt hasn't responded but a handful of times to me since I added him to the Wall of Ignore and posted a screenshot of it a couple of times.

    I've had him on ignore for quite some time myself, so I don't know what he wants outside of attention. It's kind of a buzzkill when it's just him wanting attention, rather than someone to chat with seriously.

    He's an attention whore. If you start a thread about him, that's food for the troll.

    Well it's not just about him, it's about a few posters. I just mentioned that he's the over achiever in the bunch. And then a thread appeared of him mocking this one soon after. The guys also up very late it seems. I'm just been messing around with pics, or music on occasion here, and suddenly he quotes me at 4 in the morning. I've always been a night owl myself, but lately I just sleep on, and off when I'm relaxed enough to.

    I forgot to mention, that if I went long enough with out talking to, or of him, he'd usually make a discussion about me.

    Yurt in a nutshell.

    Well thanks. It seems some always like me, some can't stand me, and now I have Yurt that seems like a messed up mix of both.

    Ironic that you enjoy someone else being called a stalker.

    You would be actually amazed at how many sociopaths, deplorable losers, and repellant social misfits are attracted to political message boards....like flies are to pig shit!

    A dude who starts threads about favorite foods, recipes, favorite metal tunes, and vacation photos seems pretty bloody normal and conventional to me. Keep up the good work!

    It doesn't. I get notifications when I am quoted by posters I have on IA.

    Other than making it go away altogether there is no way to block it, unfortunately. I did note that when I added the "feature", if we get too may people hating on it I'll just make it go away.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Not to mention sexual deviants like Luke Skypetalker!
