Don't feed the vampires..

[Ham]

The reason they bite is to drink blood ya know.. it might be emotional or "spiritual" blood, but it is blood nonetheless..

Just send them to Arkansas...according to RonG it's a garlic state and so they won't even get one bite!

[hmh]

Or they may be lawyers...

I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down.

[Ham]

I've seen them almost literally bleed people dry around here at times..

I think they live on negative energy. Not sadness, or even HONEST, appropriate anger, but on rage.

Often they seem able to leave a stint or something behind to keep the teeth holes open..

and with one off-color seemingly innocent comment, they seem to be able to bring an otherwise seemingly peaceful individual to an explosive rage.

so.. I toast to the herbs of nature, fellas..

Praise the Lord, and pass the Garlic..

HaHaHaHa!

The stent analogy was priceless.

[now I see]

I visit another web forum that's quite a bit rougher than this one and has a mix of amatuer and proffessionals, mostly male, that I visit, and quite often it draws posers, trolls, vultures etc. or as you say, vampires, that take over threads and drain the blood right out of the good contributing posters.  

The only way I've ever seen them dealt with is for the rest of the forum to "out" them and blow their cover and gang up on them.  If the community is getting that affected by their negative or argumentative posts, then that's the only way to controll it sans time outs or banning by the mods.

Bla! Da bdige is out. You’ll have to spend de night.

Okay, okay, I get it already….PFAL sucks…Some threads suck…I suck…What is your point?!?!

[Ham]

I dunno. The red eyes don't make them necessarily evil or anything.. maybe he's just trying to match the rest of the decor..

just remember to wear your garlic, and keep smiling..

Thanks for the tip Ham. The poster that personified this (for me) has been put on ignore. It works wonders and there may be more forthcoming.

Thanks for the warning...I would be terribly upset if you put me on ignore...NOT!...

Dear Ham,

I think the application of "the cross" when mixed with the appropriate humility and awe will quickly remove the blood suckers.

SOMETIMES THE OLD CURES ARE STILL THE BEST IMO.
