People should ignore his threads but they don't, they get in a real lather contradicting him and name calling. I'm sure he takes bets on how many pages each negative thread gets.
I think you're wrong. It's not like an Ernest style thread, it is just him whinging and moaning, there is no attempted humour in it.
But if you do happen to be right and he really has so little going on in his life that he has to get his kicks from this, then I'm glad I respond to his idiotic threads because he is clearly in need of something to help him through the days.
