h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK, I'm getting just a little bit (actually quite a lot) p****d with one researcher on H2G2, to avoid a conflict (I just *hate* those things) he/she will remain nameless, unless someone agrees and joins with me in a rant, I am much less cowardlike when in a group.

The unnamed researcher will probably recognise him/herself if he/she reads this anyway, so I'll just have to avoid giving him/her a reason to visit my space.

Oh to hell with it, it's lordwolfden.

It seems like everywhere I go he's there or has been there.

He tries to get every conversation he is in moved to misc. chat without asking any of the other posters or the person who originally posted the question.

He has clogged up the conversation lists with stupid questions like (I kid you not) "What is your hair doing right now"

He is rude and judgemental, I mentioned getting drunk and he patronised me saying that when he was my age he thought the same way as me but now he knows better, which may be true, but no other researchers rub my nose in the fact that I'm younger than many of them, and of the two of us, which one is the boss of me?

He had an argument with another researcher (who had been here years longer than him) and he reproduced it on at least two of the threads where he was known and the other wasn't, reproduced it in detail and got the other posters to agree with him.

He goes on established threads like "What music are you listening to at this precise moment" and posts 5 - 10 times "nothing", "my keyboard" or "see above", ignoring the other poster's attempts to get him to shut up.

If no one answers him he post 10 times in a row to keep the thread at the top of the list I guess

He puts links to his threads or entries on threads completely unrelated to them.

I know normally I should just unsubscribe from all the conversations he is in and I have from ones like "Anyone fancy a chat" but I don't want to have to run from him.

I know that I am not the only one he is irritating, just look at the "H2G2 rage" thread on Ask H2G2.

To top it all off, he hasn't ever heard or read the Hitchhikers books or radio series.

Maybe I shouldn't mention this here, but I needed a rant, I hope no one yikeses me.

And if you're reading this lordwolfden, maybe you should think about how many people other than me you are alienating.

I wrote that when I thought I was only one of a few people but there's a lot more than I thought. Check out What just Happened on Misc chat from about post 5500 and Off-P*ssed on Master Boshogosho's site

Most people know me simply as Master B.

The 'oshogosho' bit is only temporary. It's part of the campaign to persuade a Researcher formerly known as Gosho to change his name back, because no-one understands or can be bothered to type his new name.

OK sorry. I must admitI haven't actually read your personal space yet, sorry, I just sort of fell across your conversation and now I've been busy reading backlogs of the conversations I unsubscribed to because of wolfie. And it's 2.30 am here

Ah. We've always had a good Aussie presence on hootoo. I think Douglas Adams' humour appeals a lot to the Austrlain consciousness.

B

Or Australian, even.

Yep I know a lot of fans.

It's no good being in a nearly opposite timezone though, I don't want to miss anything but I have to go to sleep!

Oh well, If I wake up early enough I can catch people before they go to bed

G'night

Don't worry, you are not alone at being annoyed by you know who! Just ignore him, that's what I do. Can't let the riff raff run you off. I've added you to my friends list by the way, hope that is okay.

Thanks, that's

Made a mistake in my journal entry - apparently he has read the books, just didn't like them

I think that actually makes it worse.....

He is a complete muppet, I guess everyone is now pining for Della (or apple, or whatever).........

Cheers

I know this site is for everyone, but a majority of the posters here would be DNA fans, and it seems to me kind of like me going to a star trek site and saying "well I don't actually like star trek but this is my opinion of everything else in the world"

I'm probably just nit-picking, but he's getting on my nerves - *again*



The first time I ever talked to him he must have visited my space, cos he came back and said "I take it you are not a Star Trek fan unchartedscaper?" I said "No, not a Star Trek fan, never got into it, but I tried Enterprise for Scott Bakula" repectfully I thought. He came back with "I dislike 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' so we are equal.". It must sound stupid, but at the time it really ruffled my feathers, just the way it sounded, like "nyah nyah".

And this was the first time I'd ever 'met' him. I came close to telling him off then but I thought it was just me. Any thoughts?
