Pests

[state_vector]

There are pests you can destroy by using pesticides. There are pests you can get rid of by weeding them out. But there are some pests you can get rid of by just neglecting them. Talk to them and they will grow stronger; destroy them and they will become heroes. Ignore them and they die.
There are people who die unless you pay attention to them. As if they can't feel alive unless they are listened to. For those Sartre wrote "Hell is other people".

i agree with vector. to get rid of a pest, i think it would be best to just let them post all they can, but never give a response to them. deleting their posts is still giving them attention. just skip over anything they say as if it doesn't exist, and continue the conversation you were having.

Why can't we all just respect each other? Everyone should be allowed to post here without fear of being deleted. None of us agree on EVERYTHING. Let's stop all this fighting and insulting and get back to discussion.

who needs to be silenced? i didn't see anyone with that name posting

It does remind me of my way of dealing with cleaning up. Ignoring the problem long enough till either A) it's solved by itself or B) i _have_ to solve it which i do at that point.

Sure the universe is a great place, but if it wasn't here, no-one would miss it.

lol, no luckily my personal hygiene is better than my general room hygiene
and it's not like it's that big a mess too, it's just.. well.. books, papers, and some boxes strewn around the floor.

Damn you, folks, it wasn't my intention to establish a humorous thread; can't you see there is also a serious aspect apart from the funny one?
Anyway, I'll be merciful to you; this time i won't delete the thread, that is, not until it grows big, so that the tremendous impact justifies the deletion of a whole thread.
I have a lot of fun with you, especially with the message right above mine. Come on Gnosis, give CW a big tight hug (but not too tight, cuz you are gonna get fused).
