Apparently - unless you're thinking he did all this work and /still
didn't read any/, which would be even more bizarre. He spent what, three
hours fiddling with filters in Yahoo Mail, and four or more hours more
tabulating my postings, and he doesn't even seem to realize that every
time you, Share, or Steve, post a comment, my words are right there
embedded forever in the body of the message.
So how could he NOT read my posts? Obviously he reads them, otherwise
why all the anger?
He could have posted something interesting to read about - a review of a
crappy movie or a lonely cafe experience - instead of wasting band-space
and time obsessing about me. I requested him over ten years ago to
please not feed it. Maybe he didn't read that one either. Go figure.
Now it's all about Richard. I should probably be thanking him for giving
me all his attention and calling others in the middle of the night with
a Rick Alert. Maybe he doesn't even realize that his day is our night.
It's really rude for a fink to send the boss an email message in the
middle of the night when the owner is trying to get some sleep.
Reminds me of Carson McCullers:

turq, do you even realize what a malicious bully you sound like?! You
want to nuke someone for writing a lot of posts?! I think you're the
one out of control. You say you ignore so many people on FFL. So just
add one more to your list. Why is it so hard for you to ignore
Richard? Maybe that's what really gets to you. You can't ignore Richard.
But to call overposting malicious is just, well malicious. And
manipulative. imo.
And who cares what the ex FFLer said?! They're not even here any more.
But maybe they got to your ego. I didn't realize how important it is
to you to be a part of a cool forum. I guess if FFL isn't cool, then
it means you're not cool either!
So you want to nuke Richard. You try shaming Rick. And you even get in
a swipe at the TMers. Of course, to do the latter you had to get a
little OCD with numbers. But whatever!
There are some people who might want you to be booted. Everybody has
somebody they'd like to boot. Is that really the answer?

To flood the forum like a huge dump truck is clearly
malicious intent.
I think he's gone totally nuts.
For those whose brains are so atrophied from the practice of TM that
they cannot do math, so far this week Richard Williams has managed to
make almost *30% of all posts* made to Fairfield Life.
* So far this week: 177 posts out of 600 - 29.5% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Aug 30: 209 posts out of 1129 - 18.5% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Aug 23: 258 posts out of 943 - 27.4% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Aug 16: 146 posts out of 681 - 23.4% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Aug 09: 152 posts out of 741 - 20.5% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Aug 02: 112 posts out of 518 - 21.6% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Jul 26: 104 posts out of 439 - 23.6% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Jul 19: 149 posts out of 541 - 27.5% of all posts made
to FFL
* Week ending Jul 12: 166 posts out of 720 - 23.1% of all posts made

* Week ending Jul 05: 167 posts out of 660 - 25.3% of all posts made
to FFL
If that's not "flooding the forum" and "malicious intent," I don't
know what is. NO ONE was this malicious in their overposting back when
Posting Limits were first instituted -- not Judy, not Lawson, not
Shemp. The only reason Richard's percentage of total posts was so low
during the week ending August 30 is that Dan Friedman tried to emulate
Richard's "Net terrorist" approach and made 252 posts of his own,
increasing the noise but decreasing Richard's noise ratio. If Dan
hadn't been posting, Richard's percentage would have been 23.8%.
There is no sanity left there to appeal to in a person who posts this
compulsively, and this consistently compulsively. Nuke this guy so we
can forget him entirely, as if he had never existed.

FFL for a look today to me in email. I thought it was worth sharing
with the forum:
No wonder I never bother looking in. Tex is outta control! Or maybe
it’s just that there is no “there” there anymore. Tex’s eruptions are
just the death rattle of a dead site.

I think that "death rattle of a dead site" kinda nails it.
And IMO it's clearly Rick's fault. As many have pointed out, he
*could* do something to remove a person who has said outright that his
only reason for posting so much is to fuck with people he doesn't like
and ruin their site. But he doesn't. Clearly Rick doesn't read his own
forum enough to even CARE what Richard Williams has turned the
experience of reading it into.
If it were me, given his history and how he's resisted any attempts to
get him to lighten up for years now, I'd ban Richard for at least a
year. With two conditions. First, if he attempts to create other IDs
so he can post anyway, nuke each of the new IDs as they appear and
make the ban permanent for life. Second, offer anyone still around on
FFL after a year a vote to see if they want to allow him back. Post a
few links back to this recent period in which he's been making 500+
posts a month to help them decide how to vote.
No muss, no fuss, no maintenance, and maybe the forum would become a
pleasant place to have a discussion again. Maybe.
