Message: <blockquote data-quote="Azlan" data-source="post: 192310" data-attributes="member: 2340">This is the last straw. You're the third person I've seen in the past week who's said, in effect, "You're hilarious, hong! Keep up the good work!" Well, any board that tolerates and even encourages someone like hong is a board I want no part of. So what if he's witty and amusing? He's also a self-serving and mean-spirited mischief-maker who is not nearly as interested in 3E D&D as he is in making fun of people, giving them grief and derailing their posts.Here's where I first encountered hong, just last week...<a href="http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12581" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12581</a>This was on someone else's post. I had just given sincere and genuine feedback on someone's comments, when hong came out of nowhere and personally attacked me, without provocation or explanation. When I asked him why, he didn't bother to answer.But what he did do is follow me to each of my own posts so that he could continue to antagonize and derail me. That's when I decided to follow the link to his website and find out who in the hell this guy was.According to the information I found on his website, hong harasses people and makes mischief all across the Internet -- and then puts a collection of "Hong's Greatest Hits" on his webpage!I personally know three other people who have had negative things to say about this board, due to the way they got personally attacked and raked over the coals by the peanut gallery here (many of whom are long-time members and have posts numbering in the thousands). I have not seen these three other people around here for a while now. I wonder if they've given up on it in disgust, as I'm about to?Myself, I took a break from this board because I found the incessant jeering and slamming sophomoric and counterproductive. I thought I'd come back and see if the environment had changed... but, nope, it's only gotten worse. In fact, now there seems to be a core group of trolls, hecklers, and rules-lawyers entrenched here, with their own cheering section. (Because the cheerers find them "funny".) Even one of the moderators here seem to be involved in these shenanigans, if only indirectly.I've read the list of 'Net alignments. While I realize this list is tongue-in-cheek (and, hey, it is amusing), I also know that these alignments -- particularly the "evil" ones -- are based on very real and ugly troublemakers who spend a great deal of time lurking and hanging out on these Internet message boards. And any board that tolerates and even encourages those who are clearly of the "evil" 'Net alignments is a board that I (and a lot of other people, evidently) don't want to participate in.Feh. I'm just glad I didn't waste $25 to become a Community Member.</blockquote>
