Tanist, learn some new vernacular and get off your high horse. The only one appearing to be a "troll" in the interactions between you two, is you.
Looks like he achieved his troll and got you all invloved.
Gyson has a very common behavior. He starts a discussion and then resorts to fallacies and various personal attacks when his argument is challenged. If you pay in kind, he plays the victim. He repeats this until someone finally moves on and stops responding to him in his thread only to move to the next thread you are in to try and continue his trolling. Notice he has walked into multiple threads where I was discussing with another and immediately continued his conflict from the previous thread.
I stopped responding to him, yet he kept butting in with "Oh, don't bother with him, it is typical Tanist" crap. He seeks this conflict, not I.
Yes, yes, you've made this abundantly clear now in the last umpteenth threads you've carried this petty post into. It was the one-armed man, not you, we got it.
To be perfectly honest, every time you make an argument like this about me I've been thinking
"Wait, is Tanist describing me or himself?", because you seem to emulating all the behaviors you've been accusing me of.
Just because you don't respond to me doesn't mean I'm not going to respond a discussion you're participating in, or even respond to a comment you made directly. I think you may have some odd impression about how ignoring someone is supposed to work.
Yes, I respond to him in a rude manner. It should stop with him realizing that I won't respond to him in any other fashion. He knows that each time he responds to me, that I will provide that response....
I guess expecting you not to respond in a rude manner in the first place is expecting too much?
By the way, he could have contacted me in PM's anytime if he was serious about resolving our issues. He hasn't. He wants to troll.
Two things: 1) PMs work both ways. 2) I have suggested you take your issues with me to PMs before (rather than cluttering up the forum with them), and you did not. I personally don't have a huge interest in talking about your feelings, but if that's what you really wanted to do the option was always in your hands.
I will for the sake of people tiring of seeing those responses place him back on ignore. I took him off a while ago thinking that his behavior was just a particular bad argument we had. So, he is back on ignore, but that won't stop him from trolling me through others.
Yes, two months ago you made a big announcement (in an loot itemization discussion, similar to this one) that you were placing me on ignore. You then spent the next 4 days (in that same thread) criticizing me in responses to other posters. And then by the 5th day you were responding directly to my comments again. It was a stunning display of exactly how
not to put someone on ignore. Well done, really.
And who exactly is trolling whom through others again? I respond directly to you. You're the one making comments about me in your responses to others.
Answer me this. If he knows that this is what I will say every time to him, that there will be no constructive discussion because I have explained to him that I will respond to him exactly as such every time he attempts, who is the troll? My responses stop the moment he stops trolling me. I mean, a troll seeks conflict. Isn't that what he is doing here? If a child sticks their hand in the fire over and over again, who is at fault for being burned? The child or the fire? Gyson need only keep his hand out of the fire, but... well... it is oh so much more fun for a troll to poke the cat.
Ok, you're acting like a nut now.
