We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.
Sorry, I didn't read all of the posts, but I have an idea as well. If there is a flamer/spammer, try PMing him. For example, when charizard post the link to -blam!- in my thread, I PMed him about it. He responded the the Baby Muppets theme song, and rather than telling him to shut up, I went along with it. I responded with something along the same line, and he responded. We ended up trading several links to funny sites, and right before he was banned (assuming he was, we can't be sure) he made a thread entitled "I'm retiring". He made one last joke, though (If anyone needs to contact me, go here (with here being a link to the -blam!- pic)), which I believe got his thread annhilated.
So there are two possible morals to this story.
1) Be encouraging. People will respond better to praise and humor than to put downs.
or...
2) I'm gullible and he was lying about retiring. But, for some reason, I don't think that's true. He think he really was telling the truth.
I hope that this was helpful, and that at least one of you learned from it.
Edit- sorry, I just finished reading all of the posts, and I guess I need to get with the times.
