He is consistently one of the most ignorant, arrogant people on the P & N and Off Topic forums. He often contributes nothing, merely making unfounded personal attacks on people including name-calling. A latest tiny sample, not his worst:

Thanks. I appreciate it. I don't go around calling people "America Haters" etc. when they disagree with me, and I am fair.

Yep, he contributes absolutely nothing, he's a troll and he deserves to be shot. The mods only gave him Elite because they were drunk. </sarcasm>

:roll: You need to grow up. "America hater!!! ZOMG!" This is the internet, and we have a special ability that is ignoring what people say. If you don't like it, who gives a damn just shut up about it and let him be on his way.

Congratulations. You are now 100% better than him. :roll:

How can you say he's not a troll when he descends out of the blue to attack people without basis? Answer that. Your sarcasm falls flat. He is extremely stupid besides being arrogant, and deserves to be called on it when he acts that way.

So the "Elite" status means that you can troll at will without fear of a vacation, eh? I will have to remember that, if it's really true.

I may literally be 100% better, guessing by IQ score. In any case you can't tell me not to defend myself. I shouldn't have to even see abuse like that.

I may literally be 100% better, judging by IQ score.
Then call him on it and stop being a little whiny punk about it. If he says something that offends you and you feel the need to do something about it, then do something about it. I understand that he offended you, but is it really worth taking to the mods?

No, the Elite status more or less means that he's done something to warrant some kind of respect. Plenty of Elite's have come close to being vacationed, hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were banned.

Please give dmcowen674 a timeout. He is consistently one of the most ignorant, arrogant people on the P & N and Off Topic forums. He often contributes nothing, merely making unfounded personal attacks on people including name-calling.

As opposed to your "Stupid, stupid. Tsk. Show me to be the "moran" that you think I am, or STFU" and "The magnitude of your idiocy is unparalleled," and "Learn To Capitalize Correctly Or You'll Come Off Even Stupider Than You Are."

These were directed against three different people in that same thread. Looks like you're the one making personal, name-calling attacks.

You basically called me a little punk before with your "100% better" remark. Now you say I should do something about it. This is the only thing I can do besides more whiny-punk retorts. That is, unless you have a suggestion on something else I can do. I refuse to ignore being called an "America Hater" and the rest of the crap that dmcowen ladles out on a regular basis. It's not just me-- it's just about anyone who disagrees with his liberal stance.

You are an ignorant ass for calling me a whiny little punk. I'd smack you in the mouth if you said that face to face. I have a legitimate beef.

Go back and read the posts prior to that. I reserve the right to defend myself. Remember the first one, where I was responding to being called a "moran"? I am responding to personal, name-calling attacks. There are about eight or ten immature liberals in the forums who regularly resort to these tactics.

You should be more thoughtful before making such statements. You aren't being fair.

Why does anyone care what anyone says on the internet? It has to be low self-esteem.

I give up. Even though this forum is moderated to control abuse, even though this forum exists partly for reporting abuse, you're right-- I am wrong to expect any protection from unfounded personal attacks, because this site's on the Internet.

I probably just need to find a site more in line with what I want. Thanks anyway.

If that were true, nobody would get banned. Low self-esteem isn't the only reason someone can take offense.

You're missing my point. I'm not saying what he did wasn't wrong, I'm trying to say that you need to let the little things slide. I don't know about you, but I come here to get away from all the bullshit.

Do something that brings AT huge amounts of national media attention, and you too can get the Elite title and abuse the hell out of it.

wow...sounds to me like you got in some sort of argument with Loke and Loke just owned you! So your mad a Loke when if you look back at even your responses on this thread they do not indicate you are taking the highroad in any sense of the word!
And to claim you need to defend yourself is bogus.
If you do need to defend yourself take the high road and don`t resort to name calling.
Sounds like the instigator got instigated!! lol

We were just having a friendly conversation to try to resort a matter in another thread. No reason to reply to the thread, I think the matter has been dealt with.
