    It never went to abusive PMs but I used to have big issue with Terry, then Biggins nd then this other guy I can't remember right now..
    After a while though, I realised I was the one being a dickhead.. so I changed my ways and now i'm the soundest person on here.

    Awwww I love those stories, surely there's a film here to be made.....:p

    I have.....

    Got a few abusive PM's from him.....didn't like my quickfire insults and witty retorts to his posts/threads in After Hours.

    He started trolling my posts in other forums....random crazy posts maybe 4 months after i'd last posted something!!

    Do you have a boards nemesis....do you??

    Report the abusive pms, any idiot who does that deserved the temp site ban.

    Not sure if I technically have a nemesis, but there are a few people I've exchanged "harsh" words with I suppose and they probably strongly dislike me. Got a series of strange messages from one individual once but like Kiera suggested replying with a "haha" or not at all generally does the job nicely.

    There is one person I'd love to put on ignore because her posts are meaningless and she drives me around the bend. But like someone else has already said, chances are I'd end up paying even more attention to her if I did.

    To be fair, It was probably 50/50. I'm not the easiest person to get along with,

    I had one before. We used be in a bit of competition over who would respond first on a thread (at least I was in competition....)
    Eventually she stepped over the mark, the people got sick of her and she left. Whoop!

    Yes, I had for a while.
    One who said he knew me, knew who I was, what I did and even said he was in my home at one stage.
    So I asked him for details, like how many children I have, describe my inner home, etc
    ...and he made a complete balls of it. Everything totally wrong.
    Complete nut job.

    I reversed the situation. I did my own research, found out who he was, what he drives, what he attends and even down to what beach he likes to walk on.
    Told him to give it a rest by email (which must have been a shock to him). Thankfully not heard from him since (lucky for him) though I suspect he's now changed his sign-in name.

    Sounds like stalkers have more to fear from you than you do from them!



    Note to self: Stop stalking Biggins:eek:

    Sure if ya took the "mildly touched, high, jealous, slightly unstable and semi psychotic people" out of Boards there would be no one left to feed the hamsters.

    This place having a few nutters, is what makes it!

    The wife says I can be a pain in the ass too so maybe I can't disagree with her.
    (Otherwise she would kill me!) :D

    No nemises, nothing but friendly PMs, but there are a few posters here whose every single view seems diametrically opposed to what I believe in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,626 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Can't say I have. I've argued with loadsa people but every thread is different and you can't agree on everything. But no, I haven't had anyone abuse me by PM or the like thankfully

    I had one f*cktard who had it in for me. I replied to a thread giving advice to an OP who had asked for exactly that, advice. From my first post this guy started making digs about my post, questioning my judgement and basically saying I hadn't a clue what I was talking about.

    The OP had asked something in relation to business, websites, etc, and long story short the attack on me from this other fella spiralled within hours into him telling me he had bought a website name that I was considering, just to spite me and to teach me a lesson and was going to sell it to the highest bidder or he'd be nice and sell it to me if I apologised :eek:

    He then started PM'ing me basically telling me he had done me a favour and was teaching me a lesson....weirdo. Turned out he had gone to the bother of making a fake domain name registration page and posted it to the thread, who has that much time on their hands to annoy a stranger on the internet??

    I have to say though, the amount of PM's I got from other boardsies quoting domain registration law which I could use had he actually bought it, very helpful peeps :)

    They piss me right off.

    Nemeses.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    There's been a few people down the line who I don't get on with, or that I know dislike me, or me them. It's never went further than little (or not so little) digs online but never to PM or anything like that. That route would never occur to me, tbh. In fairness, I can be quick enough to slice into people that irritate me so about 80-percent of the time, it's been been six of one and half-a-dozen of the other.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I don't have a nemesis.


    I really should change my name to Raymond because everybody loves me like the guy on that popular television play.


    I'm also an unfunny prick like the guy on that popular television play.

    One semi-troll (sometimes his posts are normal) who followed me around different forums and posted on threads I'd commented on weeks before. I did the same to him for about a day until I realised how pathetic and sad I was being...and stopped ;). I can't even remember what started it though...
