I Need Advice On How To Deal With Insulters [+ favourites]

There is another forum (a non-Captain Cynic one) that I visit as often as I visit here. I won't mention where this forum is, in case this gets deleted.

Everybody who regularly posts on the sets of forum pages and archives usually have a good time commenting on the pictures shown, and having various conversations.

That is, until the peace was broken by one person, who is going by many different aliases, decided to come in and insult everybody for absoluttely no reason whatsoever.

For more than a week now, I've been this person's prime target, and I've been the victim to at least a hundred insults.

My question of advice is, how can I avoid him?

There is only one problem: I don't want to leave this forum group because normally, I love posting there.

Dealing with stupidity is difficult unless you are administrating. The only way to really get rid of someone like that is if the whole community ignores them.

But since the community is usually full of morons as well, it never actually works. You need at least a 90% intelligent person rate to have people like that naturally ejected from almost all conversations - they look at posts from them as spam or an advertisement.

But one person will say "why don't you just shut up" and then it's all over.

So the answer is... ask an administrator or ignore him yourself.

Do you suggest a new alias?
