Jerry knew a lot about Las Vegas a lot about gambling. But he just couldn't keep his fat trap shut when it came to belittling others to make himself look good. I even tried to befriend him in PM's and he turned on me for no reason. Its too bad, he really has a lot to offer if he can just grow up and get out of 5th grade.

I think the definition of a Sociopath best describes Jer.
Imagine how nightmarish those who have to deal with him daily have it.

I take it you never had a crazy girlfriend before?

I am surprised he has left the VP seat since he is averaging 10k a day there.

Agreed. He did make good contributions. His Nemesis is in a similar way--some good stuff but just does way too much trolling. He should/will be the next to go.

I dunno ... MKL didn't get suspended while Jerry was away. Not that he was any less aggressive or trollish during that time, just always managed to stay just on "this" side of Wizard's line, I guess. MKL once said he'd leave if a majority of people voted for him to leave, but of course he backed off on that once the votes went against him.

Wizard may change his mind re: banning MKL for the betterment of the forum, but that's his call.

Just as much a bully in his own way. I don't regret calling out JL for his bullying, but it really was a case of two bullies going at it.

I know this won't be popular but, I found Jerry to be very entertaining. When he was around things got intersting. Face it most threads he participated in had the most traffic and there must have been a reason for that. Everyone had the choice to ignore him yet most did not. I loved the way he always stuck his foot in his mouth. I also liked him and MKL's confrontations. It made for great comedy. I know this is supposed to be an intellectual board but there is always a place for humor as well.

Sure, but you can have humor without the trolls.

For example:

An anti-smoking activist spots a man smoking on the street. He aproaches him and says:

"Good morning, sir. Would you mind if I asked you some questions?"

"Not at all," the smoker replies.

"Thank you. How long have you been smoking?"

"Oh, perhaps forty years or so."

"I see. And how much do you smoke each day?"

"Hmm. Maybe a pack or a pack and a half."

"You must have spent a lto fo money smoking that much in four decades."

"Yes, I expect I have."

"You know, with the money you've spent on cigarettes, you could have bought a building like that one accross the street."

The smoker looks at the building, mulls it over and says, "Seems about right. But do you mind if I ask you some questions?"

"Oh, go right ahead."

"Do you smoke?"

"No."

"Do you own that building accross thre street?"

"No."

"I do."

Sure we do. I'd imagine it'll be about 3 days before JL/RS/BanjoJerry begins another SN so that it can keep trolling on this site. Maybe "Ihatemaths" or "Icanhasquads" or "takeyourlongtermandshoveitinmyARTT"

Am I reading right that the post that caused MKL's suspension is this one: "I didn't copy anything from anywhere else, but go ahead and be a Jerryhole and say that I did." If so, I'm liking the irony that the personal insult involved is "Jerryhole."

What the internet does is, it lets people with overwhelming personalities, like Jerry and MKL, act in a way they can't get away with in their daily lives. Nobody would put up with their behavior in person, but here they can bludgeon us into submission until they either get banned or we go elsewhere. I don't post hardly at all anymore, directly because of MKL. I tried ignoring him, but he sought me out anyway and I said to heck with it, he wins, let him have the forum. When you sink to the level of dealing with people like that, you're really no better than they are.

So true. Something tells me if this were a bar where we were chatting and either of those two acted as they do/did here they would find theselves picking their teeth up off the floor. Hopefully both find a usnet newsgroup where such behavior is the norm.

Thats not what they want. Thats why Jerry and MKL didn't get along, they were too much alike. They have to be able to hold reign on a forum all by themselves to get the maximum effect from their incendiary remarks.

JL certainly wanted to be cock of the walk... you only had to see his remarks on any thread... even to the extent where he'd say he didn't understand the topic, or have any interest in it.

His socket puppet does much the same.

Yes. What we really saw happening between Jerry and MKL is a battle of the Troll's. They both want this turf as their own, and they won't stand anybody taking attention away from them. Why do you think MKL has so many posts, probably more than anybody here. Its all about 'pay attention to ME, I'm whats important here'. When Jerry is around, its sucks all the air out of MKL's sails. I'm sure he's beside himself with glee that Jerry has been banned. Now he can rule unchallenged. I've seen many many of these types of people in the last 20 years online, dealing with them just wears you out, so you learn to ignore them or go elsewhere.
