Lol...Learning. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it was about. I see autos aren't firing etc. It'll sort itself out.

Eventually yeah. These hiccups might be frustrating for some. Might spend some time browsing around, looking for potential meltdowns. Try to calm them down before they wreck themselves then end up on blurt blowing a minor inconvenience out of proportion for six months nonstop.

Lol, you're like a crime fighter...Like batman noman!

If that toxic shit goes unchecked, they kill the vibe and people leave. So much easier nowadays to get rid of that problem though before it gets out of hand. Apparently all you have to do is tell them about blurt. The trash practically picks itself up now. That joke never gets old...

Indeed, and it breathes life into the, birds of a feather flock together, phrase. Rather than rise above, to surround themselves with those who uplift them to new and greater levels, they choose to dwell in the quagmire of hatred, blame, and negativity.

A mentor of mine once said, some 25 years ago...Would you rather soar with the eagles, or stay on the ground with the turkeys? It seems many choose the latter.

Oddly enough 25 years ago I was playing hockey for a team called the Eagles. My earliest memories of learning the importance of pushing those types away stem from that period. Coach wouldn't beat around the bush either when it came time to address the bad attitudes. Can see myself emulating his approach these days, now that I think of it. Firm, direct, honest. Those types don't like that. They take a stupid penalty, then freak out only to get another penalty or ejected, which only hurts the team. Then they're off smashing holes in the walls and breaking hockey sticks leading to suspensions or being banned from arenas. That classic downward spiral. All they did was wreck themselves; everyone else still gets to play regardless. Then they're at the weekend party bitching about how unfair everything is and blah blah blah. Now they have no team to play for, fines to pay, losing friends, all because they tripped a guy on the ice and a ref asked them to sit down for 2 minutes. Same shit happens here it seems. Someone broke the rules, refused to take their penalty, put on a big show, fucked themselves. Everyone else still gets to play, as they fade away.

That's a really great analogy; the whole comment is spot on actually.

It all comes down to ownership. I own (created) the community this user posted into and because of that, I take ownership of how it presents and ensure that the guidelines I've set are followed. This user spazzed out needlessly and his account on Hive is a rotting carcass because of it. My community continues.

This is a really one of the reasons I don't have mods or admins; I don't want to subject them to this sort of obsessive and abusive behaviour needlessly. I, on the other hand, can handle it.
