THIS USER IS BANNED FOR ENDLESSLY POSTING THE SAME POST EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN ADMIN REMOVED AND BANNED.
Nice circular logic there. I’ll take it your supposed to be the maintenance crew since your obviously not qualified as a rationalist. In that case why should I care what a glorified janitor thinks about me?
I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT.
In that case I take it you’ll stop deleting my posts.
DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU ARE THE NEXT GHANDI AND THE NEXT EINSTEIN TOGETHER. THERE IS AN ENTIRE INTERNET. HANG OUT ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
384 USELESS FUCKING POSTS. FUCK OFF. NO ONE LIKES A TROLL. YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY. I BET ALL YOUR PRINCETON FRIENDS THINK YOU ARE GREAT IN BED. OH WAIT NRX, PROBABLY CAN’T GET LAID OR I WOULDN’T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
I share your suspicion that shouting at Eugine won’t actually help (but, well, nothing else has ever actually helped in the sense of getting him to behave better, so why not give shouting a try?) -- but I don’t think what he’s doing is exactly trolling, though clearly it has a thing or two in common with trolling.
Probably, yes. But, again, Eugine has shown no sign of needing any incentives or positive reinforcement to continue his destructive activities. The range of scenarios in which making him slightly more motivated to continue being obnoxious has any visible impact is pretty small.
To be explicit: I agree that shouting at Eugine is more likely harmful than helpful. But I also think Eugine has demonstrated near-complete indifference to actual outcomes, and the chance that saying anything short of “I know where you live and have hired a hitman” or “I am in the process of securing an injunction that legally prohibits you from commenting here” will make a nontrivial difference to his actions seems very small. (Whether those more drastic interventions, even if made credibly, would have any impact on his behaviour, I don’t know.)

No.

DON’T WASTE MY FUCKING TIME.
LOL. Someone here doesn’t understand how trolling works.

I think shouting is not just unhelpful here, I think it’s actually positive reinforcement and an incentive to continue.

Which is why access to the backend database is such a useful thing to have :-/
Ay, there’s the rub.
Why no?
Like I said in the parent. I’m not taking orders from a glorified janitor in the middle of an emotional meltdown.
Do you say that to bouncers in real life too? How does that work out?
heh.
Oh, do you want Mr. Yudkowski to ask you to leave? Or is there any other way to convince you to do it? Because this is growing boring.
