    I'm not a fan of your own posts myself, too high a ratio of contempt to content, but I see no reason to ask for you to be banned. It's perfectly easy to ignore what I don't find interesting to read. Use killfiles if you like, or just ignore the noise.
    Banning is overkill.

    Nobody thinks the worse of you because some third party says something negative about you. Anybody whose opinion is remotely worth thinking
    about will develop that opinion by reading your own posts, not posts
    that somebody else writes about you.

    Nyikos can stop his harassment or he should be made to do so.

    Ron Okimoto

    Ron, just as was the case with Alan Kleinman, it is perfectly easy to ignore this guy. Just because somebody names you in a post does not mean you have to respond or pay attention in any way.
    This is stupid because Nyikos posts directly to me. I don't read the
    vast majority of junk Nyikos posts to TO. He does it to harass me
    because he never seems to have a valid point to make, and most of the
    time he has been just lying about the past.

    I don't post to Nyikos, and he is the one that should just leave me alone.

    What other people should do is sort of irrelevant. Other people will do what they will do. You only get to choose whether or not you will pay attention to them.

    And they just shouldn't do what they do, so there should be consequences.



    I doubt that you could have ignored Kleinman. He would post the same
    lies to me multip[le times a day and in multiple threads. It didn't
    matter what the topic of the thread was. After a year of such behavior
    he just had to go. As I have stated he was just an order of magnitude
    worse than Nyikos, but over a decade of doing the same stupid junk is
    long enough for anyone.

    Kleinman posted the same things to you over and over because you kept responding.

    Kleinman was insane and kept posting the same thing over and over
    because he was insane, and nothing that I could do would change that.


    If you stop responding to annoying people they eventually get bored and go off to annoy someone else. They may mention you from time to time, but with a bit of patience, ignoring them works fine.

    The point is that sadistic assholes like Nyikos have no reason to exist
    on TO. I was one of the posters that would not respond to Ray's posts
    to me. I did that because Ray was insane, and nothing I could do would
    help the guy out. With Nyikos it is different because he is a sadistic
    lying asshole and does what he does to harass people. Assholes
    shouldn't be tolerated especially sadistic harassing assholes. With
    Nyikos his harassment has just about never been about anything real. He
    will literally make up the junk to harass me with like his last effort
    with the Top Six. That is why it always turns out bad for the loser,
    and he has never been able to produce his three knockdowns to achieve
    his technical knockout. 4 years of harasssing posts and he could never
    produce a knockdown, and likely hasn't been able to do it since that
    failure. Nyikos should not be allowed to keep trying for a knockdown
    with that sorry record. It has just been over a decade of vile harassment.

    right some imaginary wrong done to him. Nyikos should make an effort to
    come up with any legitimate "knockdown" instances in order to defend his

    on TO. I was one of the posters that would not respond to Ray's posts
    to me. I did that because Ray was insane, and nothing I could do would
    help the guy out. With Nyikos it is different because he is a sadistic
    lying asshole and does what he does to harass people. Assholes
    shouldn't be tolerated especially sadistic harassing assholes. With
    Nyikos his harassment has just about never been about anything real. He
    will literally make up the junk to harass me with like his last effort
    with the Top Six. That is why it always turns out bad for the loser,
    and he has never been able to produce his three knockdowns to achieve
    his technical knockout. 4 years of harasssing posts and he could never produce a knockdown, and likely hasn't been able to do it since that failure. Nyikos should not be allowed to keep trying for a knockdown
    with that sorry record. It has just been over a decade of vile harassment.

    He only has as much power over you as you give him.

    persistent negative attitude that clearly comes through in their posts.
    I don't much like such posts, but I can ignore them. Even those aimed
    at me I often ignore, and my life is better for it. Sometimes I
    respond, but I try to include on-topic stuff when I do.

    Two bits of advice for RonO and others in his position:

    1. When you respond to harassment, make sure your response is less than
    half as long as the post you are responding to. (This does not apply to disagreements over substantive, on-topic issues.)

    2. When you find yourself wrestling with a pig in the mud, remember that
    the pig likes it.

    Kleinman posted the same things to you over and over because you kept responding.
    Kleinman was insane and kept posting the same thing over and over
    because he was insane, and nothing that I could do would change that.

    You're right that nothing you could do would change him, so why try? Why not just ignore him? Why give him the power to get under your skin?

    He doesn't need any power over anyone. That is why he should be banned
    if he can't quit doing what he does. I ignore the asshole until he
    starts posting to me, and what I have found out over the years is that
    the only way to make him stop is to demonstrate that he is just a lying asshole, and he will quit for a month or two. That should not have to
    happen.

    Just look at this thread. Nyikos has already been caught lying about
    the issues. In the past he would continue to lie or snip out the
    material and pretend that it never happened for a while in order to
    continue the harassment, but he will eventually reach some limit for
    lying and quit. He will quit for a while until his liar meter is
    recharged and start up again. That is how it has always been, and it
    should end. The last dirty debating fiasco should have ended his
    harassment because just about everything he has lied about for over a
    decade was shown to be Nyikosian lies and stupidity. Instead Nyikos has broadened his horizons and started looking for new things to lie about. Whenever he has done this, it just turns into more that he has to keep
    lying about for years, and it should stop.

    I agree.

    Probably more than half the posts in this group come from posters with a persistent negative attitude that clearly comes through in their posts.
    I don't much like such posts, but I can ignore them.  Even those aimed
    at me I often ignore, and my life is better for it.  Sometimes I

    1. When you respond to harassment, make sure your response is less than
    half as long as the post you are responding to.  (This does not apply to disagreements over substantive, on-topic issues.)

    This doesn't work for Nyikos. What works is something like the Holy
    Water Reposts that I resorted to whenever Nyikos started lying about the
    same thing. Nyikos demands evidence, but Nyikos will snip out (usually
    without attribution) what he can't deal with and pretend that it never
    existed or flat out lie about what he just snipped out. He has some
    weird notion of a self contained lie, and if the material he is lying
    about is no longer in the post that he is telling the lie in, it is not
    a self contained lie, so he isn't a liar. He also has a limit for
    snipping and running from the same material. Doing the same dishonest
    and stupid thing is OK, but he tried not to do it three times. There
    have been times when he has messed up and done the same stupid and
    dishonest snipping 3 times, and he will go back to the post and put the material back in and then try to obfuscate about the reason he snipped
    it out in the first place. It all adds up to making him reach those
    limits as quickly as possible so that he will quit his harassment for a
    while. That is how it has been for over a decade, and why the holy
    water reposts have been the most effective control over the Nyikosian harassment. The only problem has been is that Nyikos will just start
    lying about something else from the past, and I end up making up another
    holy water repost.

    magnitude worse than Nyikos in terms of frequency, but Nyikos has been
    at it for over a decade. Enough is enough.

    Probably the saddest thing about the Nykosian harassment over the years
    is that Nyikos is always shown to be the lying asshole. He has behaved
    this way for over a decade (since Dec 2010) and I do not recall anything
    that Nyikos has tried to harass me with ever accomplishing anything >>>>>>>> positive for Nyikos.

    years of his harassment, and I do not recall any since.

    As noted above, a decade ago during the Dirty Debating thread fiasco
    Nyikos started another thread to harass me claiming that he was going to
    put up three instances where he had knocked me down in the boxing ring.
    His first alleged knockdown blew up in his face because he made up the
    issue. Things did not occur the way that he had claimed. For weeks he
    ran from what he had done and even lied about me not posting a rebuttal
    to the thread. Nyikos couldn't identify any other possible knockdown

    Then you need to ignore him even when he posts to you. Otherwise, you're giving him the power to make you feel upset enough to want to ban him. And honestly if the argument to ban him succeeds, an equally good argument could be made for banning you - you
    in essence, spam the group with repetitive posts about "rubes", "perps", scams, bait-and-switch, in a tone that is thoroughly contemptuous of those you disagree with. If being hostile and rude is enough to get someone banned, you would be on the list,
    too. Of course you'll disagree, but then nobody thinks that they themselves are so offensive that they should be banned. So my vote is to ban neither of you and to eliminate or minimize engagement with people I find irritating.

    Just look at this thread. Nyikos has already been caught lying about
    the issues. In the past he would continue to lie or snip out the

    Then you need to ignore him even when he posts to you. Otherwise, you're giving him the power to make you feel upset enough to want to ban him. And honestly if the argument to ban him succeeds, an equally good argument could be made for banning you -
    you in essence, spam the group with repetitive posts about "rubes", "perps", scams, bait-and-switch, in a tone that is thoroughly contemptuous of those you disagree with. If being hostile and rude is enough to get someone banned, you would be on the
    list, too. Of course you'll disagree, but then nobody thinks that they themselves are so offensive that they should be banned. So my vote is to ban neither of you and to eliminate or minimize engagement with people I find irritating.

    Giving Nyikos power is what you are doing. Enabling the asshole should
    make you feel pretty low. That shouldn't happen to anyone. No one
    should have to feel slimy and dirty for supporting Nyikosian endeavors.

    Ron Okimoto


    Just look at this thread. Nyikos has already been caught lying about
    the issues. In the past he would continue to lie or snip out the
    material and pretend that it never happened for a while in order to
    continue the harassment, but he will eventually reach some limit for
    lying and quit. He will quit for a while until his liar meter is
    recharged and start up again. That is how it has always been, and it
    should end. The last dirty debating fiasco should have ended his
    harassment because just about everything he has lied about for over a
    decade was shown to be Nyikosian lies and stupidity. Instead Nyikos has
    broadened his horizons and started looking for new things to lie about.
    Whenever he has done this, it just turns into more that he has to keep
    lying about for years, and it should stop.

    The only thing you can control is how you react.

    If you stop responding to annoying people they eventually get bored and go off to annoy someone else. They may mention you from time to time, but with a bit of patience, ignoring them works fine.
    Tell me if it ever worked for Nyikos.

    Sure it worked for him. I don't engage with him. Since he mentions lots of irrelevant people in his posts I suspect he may mention me from time to time (or not), but so what? No need to try to get him banned.

    I'm not a fan of your own posts myself, too high a ratio of contempt to content, but I see no reason to ask for you to be banned. It's perfectly easy to ignore what I don't find interesting to read. Use killfiles if you like, or just ignore the
    noise. Banning is overkill.

    [continued from previous message]

    lying about the same thing and will give it up for a month or two, but
    only restarts lying about the past once he thinks that it is OK to do so
    again. He has no reason to keep harassing me.

    The harassment about the dirty debating issues should have ended long
    before the later part of last year. What consistently happens is that
    Nyikos resorts to broadening the topics that he has to lie about. He
    has always known that he was wrong about the involvement of the ID perps
    in the bait and switch, and all of the dirty debating nonsense >>>>>>>>>> accumulated due to his propensity to lie about other issues in order to
    harass me about his being wrong about something as stupid as the ID
    perps running the teach ID scam. He got shut down hard last August and
    has been accumulating more stupidity to harass me about since. The
    harassment should have never started. Kleinman may have been an order of
    magnitude worse than Nyikos in terms of frequency, but Nyikos has been
    at it for over a decade. Enough is enough.

    Probably the saddest thing about the Nykosian harassment over the years
    is that Nyikos is always shown to be the lying asshole. He has behaved
    this way for over a decade (since Dec 2010) and I do not recall anything
    that Nyikos has tried to harass me with ever accomplishing anything
    positive for Nyikos. This is due to the fact that Nyikos can't help
    himself and usually makes up the issue that he ends up lying about.
    Every single one of his posts involving the teach ID scam and the ID
    perp involvement have been a dead loss for Nyikos. I really can't >>>>>>>>>> recall any instance where Nyikos was not shown to be the lying asshole
    that he is. In his projection of the subject he has claimed that he
    does it because he is a hate filled sadistic maniac that has to try to
    right some imaginary wrong done to him. Nyikos should make an effort to
    come up with any legitimate "knockdown" instances in order to defend his
    obnoxious behavior to Grieg. Nyikos could not put up any in the first 4
    years of his harassment, and I do not recall any since. >>>>>>>>>>
    As noted above, a decade ago during the Dirty Debating thread fiasco
    Nyikos started another thread to harass me claiming that he was going to
    put up three instances where he had knocked me down in the boxing ring.
    His first alleged knockdown blew up in his face because he made up the
    issue. Things did not occur the way that he had claimed. For weeks he
    ran from what he had done and even lied about me not posting a rebuttal
    to the thread. Nyikos couldn't identify any other possible knockdown
    events that had ever happened, and even though he claimed that he would
    produce the other two knockdowns in a week or two, years passed. His
    stated goal was to achieve a technical knockout, but no knockdowns
    existed. His second alleged knockdown was the event where he projected
    his sadistic behavior onto me. Nyikos had started a side thread and
    changed the title claiming that I had done something funny. He had
    obviously started the side thread to make fun of me, and he posted
    multiple posts claiming that what I had done was really funny but would
    not deliver the punch line. He seemed to be savoring every moment of
    the extended trial, but when he finally produced what was "so funny", I
    only had to point out that Google didn't work that way, so I could not
    have been guilty of doing anything "funny". Nyikos went into his >>>>>>>>>> sadistic hate filled rage, as if I had been the one trying to make fun
    of him, and that was supposed to be his second knockdown. Around 3
    years would pass before Nyikos informed me that he had posted the third
    knockdown, but he wouldn't tell me where or give me a link. Nyikos
    never provided any evidence that the third knockdown ever existed. The
    whole 3 additional years of harassment had come to naught for Nyikos, he
    could never come up with an instance where his harassment had actually
    been about anything real for those 3 years and before. His harassment
    has been like that for over a decade, and that is long enough. >>>>>>>>>>
    If Nyikos wants to continue his harassment he should reflect on the fact
    of how dismal his efforts have been for him. These posts are what will
    be submitted to Grieg in order to support his banning from TO, so Nyikos
    should reflect on the facts of the last decade of his stupid assoholic
    harassment.

    Nyikos can stop his harassment or he should be made to do so. >>>>>>>>>>
    Ron Okimoto

    Ron, just as was the case with Alan Kleinman, it is perfectly easy to ignore this guy. Just because somebody names you in a post does not mean you have to respond or pay attention in any way.
    This is stupid because Nyikos posts directly to me. I don't read the
    vast majority of junk Nyikos posts to TO. He does it to harass me >>>>>>>> because he never seems to have a valid point to make, and most of the
    time he has been just lying about the past.

    I don't post to Nyikos, and he is the one that should just leave me alone.

    What other people should do is sort of irrelevant. Other people will do what they will do. You only get to choose whether or not you will pay attention to them.
    And they just shouldn't do what they do, so there should be consequences.

    I doubt that you could have ignored Kleinman. He would post the same
    lies to me multip[le times a day and in multiple threads. It didn't >>>>>>>> matter what the topic of the thread was. After a year of such behavior
    he just had to go. As I have stated he was just an order of magnitude
    worse than Nyikos, but over a decade of doing the same stupid junk is
    long enough for anyone.

    Kleinman posted the same things to you over and over because you kept responding.
    Kleinman was insane and kept posting the same thing over and over >>>>>> because he was insane, and nothing that I could do would change that. >>>>>
    You're right that nothing you could do would change him, so why try? Why not just ignore him? Why give him the power to get under your skin?
    The point is that sadistic assholes like Nyikos have no reason to exist >>>> on TO. I was one of the posters that would not respond to Ray's posts >>>> to me. I did that because Ray was insane, and nothing I could do would >>>> help the guy out. With Nyikos it is different because he is a sadistic >>>> lying asshole and does what he does to harass people.

    He only has as much power over you as you give him.
    He doesn't need any power over anyone. That is why he should be banned
    if he can't quit doing what he does. I ignore the asshole until he
    starts posting to me, and what I have found out over the years is that
    the only way to make him stop is to demonstrate that he is just a lying >> asshole, and he will quit for a month or two. That should not have to
    happen.

    Then you need to ignore him even when he posts to you. Otherwise, you're giving him the power to make you feel upset enough to want to ban him. And honestly if the argument to ban him succeeds, an equally good argument could be made for banning you -
    you in essence, spam the group with repetitive posts about "rubes", "perps", scams, bait-and-switch, in a tone that is thoroughly contemptuous of those you disagree with. If being hostile and rude is enough to get someone banned, you would be on the list,

    should have to feel slimy and dirty for supporting Nyikosian endeavors.

    I enable Nyikos to exactly the same extent that I enable you, by refraining from asking that either of you be banned. I feel fine about it in both cases. And now I'll demonstrate how to refrain from engaging with people one finds annoying.

    Nobody thinks the worse of you because some third party says something
    negative about you. Anybody whose opinion is remotely worth thinking
    about will develop that opinion by reading your own posts, not posts
    that somebody else writes about you.

    I'm not a fan of your own posts myself, too high a ratio of contempt to content, but I see no reason to ask for you to be banned. It's perfectly easy to ignore what I don't find interesting to read. Use killfiles if you like, or just ignore
