I've seen plenty threads where a "pack" will appear and basically troll and disrupt the thread with the usual crass one word, pseudo hip put downs, picking arguments for the hell of it

I just have to laugh that some of the people that have such an issue with him were extremely ****ing annoying when they first joined the forum

and still are now but we shall leave it at that.

sorry

I was nice to GPF on the few times we had contact and I had/have no problem with him, but our paths did not cross really.

As to the other thread, I spontaneously laughed out loud at the video cover (whether it was GPF or not who was featured) in the same manner that I often laugh out loud at LT's posts or Marsh's - because I have a very broad and deep sense of humour and it was genuinely funny. I make no apologies for that.

I really do not understand where the 'bullying' aspect comes in as far as the other thread is concerned, but I am not au fait with GPF and his relationship with other 'young' game-playing members, so perhaps there is some 'sinister' aspect to some of the posts - singularly or collectively - that I do not recognise.

I see only mild 'mickey-taking' and lots of jovial banter punctuated by lots of 'joker' and 'laugh' emoticons - which, perhaps, support the general brevity and light-heartedness of the majority of posts.

Anyway, I have never bullied anyone in my life, deplore all forms of bullying, and sincerely hope that I was NOT included in any allegation or suggestion of 'bullying' because I was not.

Personally, I do not see where the majority of members were either.

He only acts up because people on here give him the attention for it. If you really dislike him, then ignore him, rather than feeding him.

You don't know that for sure, weren't you also saying he was M21?

[Jøsh]

I just saw TiBB on another forum in a photo and thought I'd show you the photo.

I only said mental as in madness,so it would say This is Mental.

I do like him really.

I'm sure if everyone stopped throwing shade at him then he'd give up and perhaps try to show a different side to him. It's like a child isn't it, when they know they are getting attention they are more likely to play up. He's not the problem, the people who constantly fall into the trap are.

My comment wasn't just about gamepodfan btw, I saw the exact same thing happen to someone else the day before and this is just 2 examples, the fact is there is a group of members on this forum that do very much have a pack mentality and at times they resemble a bunch of vultures sniffing out their next meal, of course they will deny it but it's clear to see and been noticed by more than myself, We wont stand for it, it's one of the worst types of behaviour and will be clamped down on.

..I don't think the thing is about one member/gamepodfan but the pack mentality, which has not been specific to just this...

I'm going to assume I'm part of this "pack" and I'd like to say that I honestly haven't noticed that I've been doing this. Looking back, I see how I may have caused trouble but at the time I really didn't think anything was wrong, like when the chat threads got closed and stuff I was very confused, but now I notice that we were being a bit silly. I just need to use my head a little bit more when I get myself into these situations. I don't think we mean the harm that we cause.

[Ammi]

..it's so easy when someone is not deemed to be such an 'in person', to go along with it and follow the flow and not even be aware of what's happening or how a person is being made to feel...

tbh you cant really do the things gpf did and not get a certain amount of hate on "any forum"

you have to learn the rules.

Some, like myself, see at as a little eccentric and obviously age related but we can afford to do this from the benefit of age but if you are around his age I can understand how things can develop.

He's still popular though. He's all some people seem to go on about. Maybe he likes that and that's why he keeps on doing it.

...it really isn't about gamepodfan though or learning of rules...in chat threads etc, their have been many people either excluded/ignored/prodded at or ridiculed and poked fun at for a very long time...

Yes he likes the attention and the forum needs all characters and not just those that fit in.

Members need to understand whats going on and not just react with da hate
