Ah ok you were deleting my messages lol. That was a bit of a cheap shot. OK MAYBE I could be a little bit more constructive.

I mean first let me say I don't believe you can really argue with a person like that. You just cannot. You just need to accept it. Let me also say there are people who I think that are way worse around on the board.

Bubbles was the same way. Although, he was definitely more open about laming it up. Err, the comparison I want to make here is that they both LOVED hate mail. And I speculate that CATGIRL actually likes the negative attention or why else would he do it?

I was trying to be funny (I'm probably not lol). But I wasn't trying to spread the flame. Maybe I miscalculated, but I was trying to get people to say why bother and just sit back and watch.

We've seen CATGIRL in the hatemail thread before, so why is this any different?

Well if negative attention is what fuels him, positive attention will win you the war

This situation is different because I was actually here to diffuse it

defuse it*

Well, positive attention can also reinforce bad behaviors. Wow I guess I'm a behaviorist at heart.

He's toxic. But I don't really hold anything against him either. It'd would be cool to see someone get past that and become a healthy member of our Soulcalibur community, but when he says something he creates a negative feed back loop.

He says stuff to piss someone off, then someone says something to piss him/her off and it just keeps going.

I'm just some guy he/she doesn't know. I can't just jump in and tell a stranger, "Yo dude, you're toxic. GOTTA CLEAN YOURSELF UP." Why would they listen to me.

Do you think what I am doing is encouraging that cycle or breaking it?

Well, did stop the posts. But I'm not sure what else you've done. Not discrediting you or anything I just don't know if you've done anything else behind the scenes. I know Mage talked to Ish and your post maybe gave Ish a second chance in the eyes of some of the community. I don't know if that's going to be the end of it, but it's a good start.

I have sent PMs and warnings in the past, still working on a realistic solution.
