I'm not suggesting anything, but just asking if there's a way we should be looking at this.
Two points:
1. ASSUMING he really is a 15-year-old student, he's still an annoying twit who can't detect sarcasm, can't take a joke and, quite frankly, whether he realizes it or not, embarrasses himself with just about every retort he makes whenever he perceives himself as being threatened (whether he actually is or isn't). He's a fish out of water on the adult-oriented Serious Business board and everyone knows it. Ask GoChiefs. He ribbed him good-naturedly and mtrulz started a blood-feud with him.
2. Still, things are getting out of control (and, yeah, I have contributed to it) with the SB board basically having its first page being dedicated to ripping him apart. If things are getting to the point where my sadistic drunken ass is hoping he departs for a while to let shit die down, it's gotta be bad. I mean, I legit want him off the site...not because he's a dick or nuisance, but for his own good if he is the age he says he is.
I mean, he's basically a young, really dumb version of Mike Clark or NCF. I could ask for those of us who like setting him off (which is mainly myself, TB and Chiefs) to just ignore him, but there are a good number of other posters just tearing him to shreds, so what would it matter... And regardless of how young he might be, it's kinda hypocritical to use "kid gloves" with him while letting things flow with guys like Mike and NCF when they go into spaz mode and get mass-assaulted.
So any ideas how we should handle it? I don't like him getting destroyed, but I don't like the idea of coddling him regardless of how dumb he acts because of his age, either. He doesn't fit in on this board, but it's kinda shitty to kick someone off because they're an easy target.

He's not a 15 year old MT student though.
I ran a trace of his IP and it's not even in the state of Ohio.

Really?
Might be a good idea to confront the bastard publicly with this. I guess I'm not surprised as others have mentioned he doesn't act like a normal teen and there have been other clues (like you and other people from that area having no clue who he is, even though it'd be pretty easy to figure out who this "amazing" freshman b-ball player at a school was), but it would be good if random people didn't think a 15-year-old was getting brutalized online by adults.
And besides, there's something amazingly creepy about someone pretending to be a freshman boy on a message board. Chris Hanson-style creepy.

If anyone can find a roster of the MT freshmen team that would be great.

Oh yeah, I saw that. I have to admit, after reading that post for the first time, it might have been my buzz, but I nearly laughed myself into cardiac arrest.

If that little dumbass would quit responding, people would leave him alone. Anyway, it is a fad and will go away just like alot of the other annoying little things.

Yeah..this thing is getting WAY out of hand. We had our feud..of course. But it looks like it could FINALLY be over. I told him all he had to do was quit replying to me! And I wouldn't reply back! Seemed like for a while..he couldn't make 5 posts without mentioning me or Society in one of his posts. Was getting rather old to be honest.

I'm talking to mt via PM right now.
He says he can provide proof that he is a freshmen at Miami Trace, but he doesn't know I ran a trace on his IP.
If he does indeed prove it, I'm going to move all of the threads and ban the accounts.
We can't risk any kind of liability involving a minor.

According to the little shit, his name is Taylor. He sent me a "schedule", which was just a list of a few basic classes. I don't him I still don't buy into his whole gig, but the names would be banned and the threads merged/closed.

haha....I deleted Devils thread because I saw that he was banned. I didn't realize that he requested the ban from trueblue, so he reposted the thread.

I'm not exactly sure what liability you think we risk with having a minor on the boards? It's not as if we have porn on here anymore.Trueblue23 wrote: I'm talking to mt via PM right now.
