I'm sure quite a few of you have noticed the "noob" posting all over the forum, just looking to pick a fight. I have to say that it speaks volumes about the character of this forum's participants that only a few have taken his bait.
If I may make some observations in this regard... In the 20-odd years I've been scanning forums, it usually turns out that such arrogance is the product of one of the following two stereotypes:
1) A disgruntled ex-member looking to cause flamewars as revenge for his banishment.
2) Some marketing wonk looking to up the profile of some lame-ass product, TV show or movie.
I'm thinking possibly the latter in this case. The guy's name and 'mug shot' just screams "I'm advertising!". Perhaps some of our UK friends could give the Beeb a call and inform their legal department of the use this individual is making of their copyrighted imagery and brand. I'm sure Adbusters would like to get to the bottom of this as well. What fun.
In the meantime ignoring the rascal should make him go away. Then we can get back to enjoying the camaraderie and shared interest which makes this forum such a great place.
