Exactly right. He would break the rules of the game and if nobody replied to his posts (which were in incorrect order) he would sulk like a child and accuse people of being part of clique . He often used bad language for people who politely requested him to play within the rules. One day I asked him to play within the rules and he messaged me asking me to delete his profile. I refused to delete his profile as it would give him the sense of a martyr and he could then go on another board and complain about this board. Which he eventually did anyway.
As for the OP of this thread- I hope he returns. I like his contribution to sports board and some of his comments are interesting. I do like to say him that I like his posts and definitely consider him more than "nobody". nxnwrocks - Remember there are some people who like you and would be happy to have you back here. What do you mean that he messaged you to delete his profile. He can delete his own, why would you be able to delete it unless you have mod powers? I was a mod when he asked me to delete his profile so that he could be a martyr.
Gottolluv initially joined old IMDB around 6 months before it was closed. He annoyed the hell out of everyone on religion board on the old IMDB. On this site he managed to get 1000s of posts within months and was posting on various boards. Most of his posts were petty fights.

How many mods have we had on here? Not many tend to last long.
Do you still have mod powers? Kindy is not stated as a mod on his profile and neither are you, but he is listed along with Blue in the Staff Member section along with Admin.
No, I am not a staff here since June 2017. I was not on board for a considerable time after that and I have no idea who are staff here.

B.O. gets plenty bent out of shape over nothing. The most aggressive bullying ever done on these boards has been done by him with his sidekick, Salzmank "like"ing every one of his insults, usually against a fellow poster of ours named snsurone who has done absolutely nothing to deserve it. And that remark about gottaluvafriend being the same person as nxnwrocks is absolutely batshit crazy. For one thing, gottaluvafriend would never have spoken a kind word to B.O. and would never dealt with his harassment with anything but venomous insults (he hated me just as much, which nxnwrocks did not) and would never have backed down. For another thing, I followed gottaluvafriend after he self deleted and found him posting on two other film sites. He had radical political and religious views that were absolutely inconsistent with anything nxnwrocks ever said. B.O. and Sally are sick people. I do not know all that, llanwydd, but I do agree with you that there is absolutely no comparison between Goottoluv and Nxnwrocks. The former was a malicious poster whereas I never saw later to be so. As a matter of fact nxnwrocks has a very decent political approach and no extremism about him. Nor the capability of throwing so much insult. He simply has a different personality altogether.
As an aside, I couldn't help remembering a post about you on F&D board made in your absence which seemed to have put you together in company of people who you may not even get along with. Of course that post was false (and no one took that seriously) but how baseless given your views here? I am not sure what you meant in that second paragraph but if I gave the impression that I harassed gottaluvafriend, I had better explain. When I said I "followed" him, I meant that I googled his username and then read his posts on two other sites. I did not communicate with him in any way after he left here. Stalking is definitely not my style. I hope I cleared that up.

No, actually I should be the one to say sorry for creating confusion. of course I have seen you for long and know you have never stalked or harassed anyone. My second para was actually about someone else. I will send a pm to explain that just so we do not get a new story started here.

I skimmed that thread. Hardly seems like a fiasco at all. And certainly nothing for Bat to get all bent out of shape about. Can you provide examples of where he was mean and nasty? I rather feel that I’m on the stand and you’re nxnwrocks’s defense attorney. After one of nxnw’s many apologies to me: @nxnwrocks I accept your apology, and I apologize if I misinterpreted it. It would be best if we move on. I wasn't apologizing TO you, I was apologizing FOR you. There's a difference. Those are just a few off-hand. I could find more, but he had a huge number of posts. Two things. 1. I’d still forgive him if he came back. I get angry quickly, but I forgive easily, for better or worse. 2. I don’t think I’m going to comment any more in this thread. You and I obviously had different experiences with @nxnwrocks. That’s fine. But I was not aware that I’d be cross-examined, counselor. Let’s move on.

I hope you change your mind. I’d also like to comment that no one here other than you, even nxnwrocks, thinks that about me and Bat. And snsurone and I still get on well.

And snsurone and I still get on well. If that were true, why is he on so many ignore lists? And if only snsurone knew the way you insult her behind her back. Snu is more than welcome to read everything I’ve ever written. Snu knows that I have my differences with her and that I’m friends with Bat; with that said, I don’t have anything against her. I kid, but I usually point out that I’m kidding, and I don’t mean to insult her. If I have, I apologize. I can’t speak for Bats’s being on ignore lists, but he has been universally praised on the “say something nice” thread.

I know that @nxnwrocks will be back, so I don’t mind a bit if he sees this, but I’d just like to record a few observations. I think (I can’t be sure) that he and I met in talking about old mysteries, which we both like. He was fine and pleasant and chipper, and we didn’t always agree on everything but got a good dialogue going. Then suddenly he completely changed. He became nasty, belligerent, vituperative, and mocking. The same transformation had happened with another since-deleted poster, @gottaluvafriend, who also liked classic mysteries. (Now I’m wondering if they’re the same person.) He would ask sarcastic rhetorical questions to just about everyone. Then he changed back. He wrote me a lot of PMs about authors, mystery and non-mystery, asking for my opinions. I responded to a few of them, though not all. Then the Worthington fiasco happened as Bat described it. Whole thread here. He didn’t get on with Bat. And then he started up with the sarcasm and sardonicism again, especially in posting on the Classics board. As london777 there accurately noted, he [London] had lost the title of most curmudgeonly poster to nxnwrocks—which, if you know London, was quite an accomplishment. But many of nxnw’s posts were not even curmudgeonly, they were just mean. He often went back and forth between the nice mood and the mean mood, depending on the day. He grew angrier and angrier at Bat and then at me when I would defend Bat. He found a “place where we hang out,” as Bat called it, and spammed it up with message after message, when he’d never posted there before. The goal was obviously to annoy Bat and me. Then, recently, he switched to woe-is-me threads, which are in their way even more annoying. He became convinced that few people liked him. I don’t know if he has genuine psychiatric problems that affected his postings here. That’s above my pay-grade. But it was the going back and forth that seemed very unusual, annoying, and troubling. TL;DR (is that the right initialism?): He told me “sorry” for being nasty several times. (The sorries got annoying and cloying; they reminded me of Hayden Christensen’s Stephen Glass.) He started right back up with being nasty after every sorry. I forgave him every time; I’d still forgive him. But he kept going back to his old ways, for no real reason, unfortunately. I remember gottaluvafriend;often engaged in vicious threads on the politics board but oddly cordial on the film sections. I'd be impressed if they were the same person though. Rocks did seem more volatile in recent weeks.

Rocks did seem more volatile in recent weeks. I won't speak for everyone, but I know I can be a snarky bitch sometimes. Aren't we all sometimes? I don't know. Yes, we all are sometimes, which is why I was always willing to give @nxnwrocks (and llanwydd ) the benefit of the doubt. (Unfortunately, they don’t seem to do the same for me.) I was just recording what did, in fact, occur multiple times. Now that I’ve broken my no-more-posts-here rule multiple times, I think I’m really out of this thread for good. I’d be fine if it were locked, if Admin or a mod wants to do so.

If they don't ever initiate then they're probably not real friends. Forget about them, they are not worth the time. I know they are hard to come by, but try to get new ones if you can.
Also wasn't messenger removed and replaced by skype years ago?

We should ultimately start liking each other. That's my wish. Though a bit unrealistic.

Nxnwrocks made lots of posts, usually about something I liked too. I just bumped a ton of his threads on the horror board the other day. So, we had similar interests. Sometimes his posts were critical, but a good discussion can often come from opposing viewpoints. I hope he comes back at some point. Leave no man behind, and all that.
