It makes him feel important to see a large number of views. he has said somethings like this that lead me to believe he thinks people love reading something from him.
It makes him feel even bigger to get responses...
Acknowledging him in any way only makes this board worse
A special case permaban should be used in his case. If that won't happen, we should all try our best to help him go away...
IF i were a mod, i'm merge all of Bernie's threads into one thread called "The one and only Bernie's Senile Rant thread" and just let him go hell for leather in the ONE thread. If he started any new threads outside of this one, BAN baby BAN
...And I bet the other 7 threads were started by other people just to talk about Bernie. You lot are just making him feel more important by doing this. Take the advice of an earlier poster and just ignore him.
One nice thing at least is when you open the main forum page that lists all the forums, and you see in the last post column that the last post in the IPT forum was one of Bernie's, you already know nothing's going on without having to open the forum. How convenient!
