Who would want a name like Transvaal anyway?

Somebody who identifies with colonialism, racism and fascism? Sounds like he made the perfect choice. I hope he keeps it.

It probably has nothing to do with the post.

I'm not the only one who doesn't like you, Zero Hero/Transvaal. Cross the wrong people and you'll get your toes cut off, I guess.

Playground politics? I have better things to do than lurk here and post 1000s of messages. I just come here looking for job related information, perhaps help others with info if I can and unfortunately I ran into you.

I don't use this place to give my 2 cents to people who don't give a damn, get banned and pathetically limp back in here so I can make myself feel better by making fun of people who are looking for information. That's your M.O. right?

Well Zero Hero - I mean seriously let's just call a spade a spade or a Zero a Zero right? - you ask H_C why your post still stands, I would like to ask you why you think you got banned?

Maybe they left the post there for people to see what you could get banned for? I mean, you are banned right? Or am I missing something?

How does toiling in the sweatshops of HK qualify as the "upper echelons" of anything? From what Zero Hero told us about his latest HK$ salary, he's making a pittance as he writes exercises. Yes, that is definitely an UPPER echelon.

A sociopath is always a sociopath, and the pathology can get worse with each incarnation. Does he keep coming back to these forums to remind us of how pathetic and insignificant he really is? If so, he's doing a truly excellent job. Even people who didn't know his previous incarnations can instantly recognise his personality disorder with his first few posts. Only a real sociopath could achieve such consistency. At least his superiors had the good instinct to remove him from his previous position...to save the children, of course. Wink

[quoteIf somebody's posts and/or their point of view threatens your world view or is simply disagreeable to you, then I would simply suggest you refrain from reading that person's posts. I think it is termed 'adult's choice'. One should be discriminating when choosing one's reading, after all. [/quote]


I do hope this means that you will stop reading and responding to my posts. To do so would mean that you have made the "adult's" choice, and have stoped your stalking. Let's all hope that you " refrain from reading" my posts and follow your advice of "One should be discriminarting when choosing one's reading".

So let's hope that you stop your stalking and insults, both publicly and by PM of my family or myself.

And remember if you ever do so again, by your own words, you can not make an adults choice and are not discriminating in what you read. I look forward to a life free of your stalking.

Personality disorders such as schizophrenia are signs of mental and emotional pathology. I suggest that Transvaal, who talks about himself in the third person ("Zero Hero"), needs intensive therapeutic intervention. If not, we might soon be joined here by a third incarnation who proceeds to discuss the other two.

Sad, pathetic, insignificant, insecure, abusive, vile, racist and now demonstrably insane. Our hearts go out to him/them. Yet he/they will keep coming back to Dave's again and again and again for more abuse.

The psychiatric profession currently has no term to describe such a masochistic personality. Any suggestions?

Yes. You both need to get a life.

TV/HZ, good observations, good thoughts, but stop the schizo act. It's downright silly.

HC, also interesting comments - a bit too lefty for me, but no true issue there - but stop being baited and don't try to compete with TV/HZ because you lose every time.

I haven't lost once, kowlooner. It's immense fun to bait this sad loser, who keeps coming back for more abuse. He asks for it, so who am I to deny him?

Just count the extraordinary number of words that he's expending on his pathetically long-winded and meandering responses. Surely that's the sign of a profoundly disturbed, insecure and paranoid mind.

I think this makes around 8 different names (and 8 different times banned for trolling) for Mr. Trollaway that I can think of since I've been at this message board. SURELY there is some psychological term for someone with such an obsession with people he doesn't like.

Really, I don�t care!
Why don�t you two exchange email addresses and save the rest of us the inconvenience of skimming your posts for content? Your lives must be so boring.

And Eddie-with-six-posts:

Why are you reading and bothering to post on this thread if you're so offended by it?

Either that or the neurotic personalities in that troubled psyche are fighting over who should appear in public next. I think it should be "Chomsky-Not", the would-be linguist who can't seem to write without making errors.

The bottom line is, the psuedo-intellectual tripe ZH writes shows him a fool, further-substantiated by his hysterically shrill, touchy, overdone swipes taken at anyone who dares disagree with him.- no one with an ounce of common sense would confuse him with being an authority on anything other than trolling and flaming.

Hell, it's the lowest, cheapest form of entertainment going- the 21st equivelent to bear-baiting without the mess.
Rave on, McDoof!
