I swear, I think he's truly a megalomaniac. He needs to be adored and admired. Oh, and love how the poster for the rally has Moses looking like the Lincoln Memorial...

Originally Posted By Dabob2 Okay, that's it. Here's the deal. I know I've been as guilty as anyone sometimes, but I implore you all... Don't feed the troll. It occurs to me that trolls like Beau are the message board equivalent of obscene phone callers. And there's only effective response to an obscene phone caller. Simply hang up. Do not engage. They're not capable of reasoned discussion, and they're not HERE for reasoned discussion, any more than an obscene phone caller is. They just want to poke, goad, get a reaction. Don't give it to them. Simply hang up. You may be tempted to tell them off, correct their idiocies, etc. Don't. Just hang up. Don't respond. The one thing that robs an obscene phone caller of all power is the simple <click!> of hanging up. And they sit there, pathetic and frustrated, having achieved nothing. This particular troll is clearly Beau, who has been slightly smarter this time by posting in non-WE sections, which I assume is why it has taken the mods longer to ban him. But eventually they will. In the meantime, don't engage. Hang up. At most, perhaps a simple "DFFT" as a reminder. But otherwise, treat him like an obscene caller and do the one thing that is effective against an obscene caller. The ultimate diss. The silent statement that you know he's an idiot and you're not having it. Hang up. He'll complain that it's just because he's a conservative, but of course that's not it. Intelligent conservatives interested in actual discussions can find it here. Trolls can not. He'll howl that he's not Beau, that we're awful people, and all the rest of it. Ignore it. Hang up. And we call all picture Beau sitting in his mother's basement, frustrated and pathetic, getting hung up on until the mods get wise and ban him again. Meanwhile, he's gotten nothing from us and the adults can discuss things. Seriously, just pretend he's not here. He's no better than an obscene caller, and there's just one way to deal with that. Hang up.

Trolls can not.>> Exactly. <<He'll howl that he's not Beau, that we're awful people, and all the rest of it. Ignore it. Hang up.>> That's been his only defense from the beginning, claiming we're awful and "not nice" and how his behavior is always above board, which is simply not true. <<And we can all picture Beau sitting in his mother's basement, frustrated and pathetic, getting hung up on until the mods get wise and ban him again.>> Why not draw the mental picture of what's really going on? Beau is a trust fund baby. He doesn't work for a living. He's completely dependent upon another source for his revenue, which is too excessive for his own good. He could choose to spend his excessive waking hours doing some good out in the world, for his fellow man, but he's too selfish for that. He'd rather spend his time trying to make life difficult for a group of people who don't care about him. Beau cannot get others to voluntarily socialize with him, because of his spoiled brat demeanor. So he forces it out of people through troll behavior on discussion boards. Beau doesn't have any other friends, or else he wouldn't repeatedly return to LP after being banned. This is his only social outlet. It's fully transparent and very pathetic. <<Seriously, just pretend he's not here. He's no better than an obscene caller, and there's just one way to deal with that. Hang up.>> I quite agree. Don't Feed The Sock Puppet DFTSP.

I sincerely hope that doesn't lead to the end of the LP boards (if I were in charge, I might very well consider simply shutting it down...I do hope that they don't, since that would be Beau's fondest wish!). I suggest everyone simply stop replying, and follow suit. Report it, then forget it.
