How long will my complaint be ignored?

To Whom It May Concern

I recently complained to upper management about another member constantly annoying me. In my opinion, he has disrupted many of my threads. I admit that his input can sometimes be useful, but I really don't want it or need his input.

Take this thread for example: This thread was a very concise outline of an experiment that I am currently conducting, and his input and continued participation in this thread threw it way off course, and wasted valuable time and space for anyone that may have found my experiment interesting. This is just one instance.

    Bruce,

    With all due respect, you're annoyed because you allow yourself to be annoyed, and you promote further annoyance by continuing to bait your protagonist. It's totally within your control and requires no moderator action. Just let it go.

    With all due respect, he knows he is not wanted. So am I supposed to just sit idly by, let him trash me ideas, and just take it like a man? I don't believe I have ever posted anything in one of his threads (I could be wrong). It is always the threads that I create that get trashed.

    You are welcome to post anything you like in my threads!

    Everything I've posted in your threads is fair comment. No one else seems to object to what I've said about your exploits.

    As opposed to escalating the situation, then whining to the authorities? Yes.

    I don't want to post anything in your threads, and I wish you would offer me the same courtesy.

    The correct thing to do if you don't want to read my comments is to block my posts, so that you don't see them.

    If I see something I think is wrong, I speak up about it. It's the correct thing to do on a forum like this.

    You've been rubbishing my efforts on your threads, why don't you do the same on mine?

    Leon, unless your goal is to purely antagonize me, the correct thing, would be for you to refrain from posting in the threads I created.

    This discussion is not Propeller related. Can this thread be moved to the Suggestions to Parallax or the General Discussion forum?

    Sorry. I'll continue to respond to what I think are incorrect statements.

    I've got to agree with Leon on this one.

    I was thinking "cool, you can adjust the temperature of the laser printer to make better PCB masks". But then Leon let us all know, that shouldn't normally be required. I appreciated both Bruce's experiments and Leons critique of them.

    I agree. Sorry for the improper posting location.

    I disagree. He ultimately admitted that laser print outs are not opaque by requiring hatching of large areas.

    I think I'll start a new thread entitled"How to not make PCBs at home!" :)

    IMO, when someone posits a question, there's nothing wrong with backing up a couple steps and examining the premises behind the question. I do that all the time here in the forum, and in some cases, it turns out to be helpful in ways the OP did not anticipate. I might have done it with the thread in question, too, had I any recent expertise with making PCBs at home, which I do not -- nor want to.

    Greetings,
    I am locking this thread for the reasons posted below, no further action will be taken at this time unless the issue escalates; please abide by the forum guidelines.
    If there is an issue on the Parallax Discussion Forums please take it up with those in-charge of the forums, our Noble Leader doesn't wish to be concerned with forum's complaints, nor should any member of the forum 'call out' another member in this fashion or raise concern publicly to stir a mob on these civil forums which should remain about Parallax products, electronics, programming, do-it-yourself projects, and other related topics.

    We can't expect everyone to get along and see eye-to-eye at all times, no one is expecting that, however these conversations are demeaning to the nature and service of this forum and should not be continued.

    Thank you for understanding,
    -Moderator Monkey
