Whou should recieve the July 2004 Fibsie award?

[webrunner]

Oh well... here it is
better late then never.

[don]

I think I should receive a FIBSie award, at least in this environment.  I have attempted to make polite suggestions which, after flames, were almost universally adopted.  I have spoken up honestly and with little support while others could do nothing but whine and insult.  The results of my actions, while chaotic, are better than the original smug little environment of the smug little clique which naively seeks to reform FIBS into its own barren little playground.

results of your actions?

[PortWine]

If webrunner ever comes up with a self-aggrandizing pompous narcissistic buffoon award I will vote for you don.  I promise

Love always,

PortWine  :fo:  

[don]

Of course, one of the main reasons I should receive a FIBSie award is reflected in the previous two posts.  I tend to stick to the facts, and others tend to insult.

I just realized that this is the fibsie award thread and I regret that it was polluted by this bull$hit.  You have no honor don.

My apologies to webrunner.

[diane]

And since the rules of the fibsie state you cannot nominate yourself, you have little chance of getting one.  Oh wait - perhaps your protege could nominate you..... that would be fun to watch - heck, i might even vote for you - without your help i would never have properly figured out my interface.

results of your actions?

You arent actually trying to follow the convoluted paths his mind takes are ya??? I think it is often best to humour 'them'. Whatever he thinks he did - well done don, we couldnt have done it without you.  

[don]

Wow!  Two more insulting posts!  All the more reason I should get the award!

[webrunner]

Yes Don.. you are right.. two more insulting posts.

But....in fact.. you asked for them in your post here.
It is not only a big flame but i consider it a personal attack to me and all the moderators on this forum and the current nominees.
You claim that "your actions" should get you a nomination for a fibsie award.
That is an outrage to me since you are initiator of a lot of the problems that we had in the near past, in my opinion.

This is off topic anyway.
I have warned you more then enough times to not post flames anymore.
If you keep playing with fire you will burn yourself.
:angry:

Congratulations.
After being banned on Fibs, you are the first person to banned on Fibsboard.
You will be banned from posting for a week.

I've known don for going on 5 or 6 years now, and I really only have a few comments to make.  

For the entire time I've known don, his one true goal has been to make others the problem for his very serious psychological problem.  He started doing his martyr routine almost from the very beginning, trying to convince others how incredibly perfect he really was, and how we were all the ones with the problem.  He's taken his act from FIBS, to RGB (rec.games.backgammon) and finally to this board.  Because he doesn't realize the severity of his problem, he continues to make himself a nuisance everywhere he goes, with the results being long-term bans on FIBS, incessant ranting on RGB, and now a ban here on fibsboard.

I think we all need to realize this individual for the very sick person he is and take a different tact.  Instead of feeding his martyrdom and fulfilling his desire as victim, we simply choose to ignore every post, every shout and every utterance he makes from now on.  He might begin to see that his problem doesn't originate from the outside, but from within.

NIHI and biggles aren't his enemy.........Patti isn't his enemy.......Tournament Directors aren't his enemy.....RGB posters aren't his enemy.....Fibsboard posters aren't his enemy.........

The only enemy don has to fight is the one inside himself. We're not doing him (or ourselves) any favors by feeding his need for victimization.   It's time to help him, by ceasing to respond to him at all, and perhaps over time, he'll realize and deal with his problem.

Think about it.

You are of course, quite correct - and i am weak  

I try - he is gagged on fibs and my email bins anything he sends me, but the posts just keep coming (but not this week  )

I WILL try harder

Good thinking but I hope, that everybody follows this and ignore him!

[socksey]

Hear, hear, Biggles!  I have said as much in private chats.  I agree with you totally on this one.  Amazing, huh?    VEry well, said, btw.

[burper]

I agree too Biggles.
I knew there was a reason that you were the most popular fibster!
I know don will try to bait me, but from now on, no matter what, I will ignore him.
My email auto-bounces his spam. Now I just need to provide a full-on-gag plugin for FibsCompanion to handle his invites, messages etc...

[webrunner]

Why is it that wheni i say exactly the same no one listens and when Biggles says it everybody is cheering?

It must be charisma

Anyway.. I AGREE TOTALLY Biggles. It is the best post you've made here so far!

[socksey]

well, AFTER ALL, he IS the most popular fibster!  heheheeheeee

And it aint about being told what you already know...it is about handling the constant barrage!

As i said - i try - there are many attacks where you will notice it took me ages to respond, or i didnt - but eventually - like the dripping tap, it gets to you!!  What can i say - i am human  

And when does jonjon come in to call you a bad human for banning him       Cant wait for that

[webrunner]

I don't think he will do that Diane, he and i aren't having problems.
And.. the ban is only for a week.

Please don't Flame JonJon here Diane....
 

[diane]

Please re read definition of flame - and just making the point

That is an outrage to me since you are initiator of a lot of the problems that we had in the near past, in my opinion.

Actually he played such a small part in the problems that occurred as to be not worth mentioning.  Do not give him ideas that he succeeded in his goals, when in fact it was almost nothing to do with him.  Him you can deal with, it is all the other actors in this great drama that actually got things going nicely.
