I agree, he prob loves the attention, but you gotta think of all the newbies that may take his advise.
Of course he loves the attention....good or bad, as the publicity provides him the
exposure he desires to increase his sought after fame. The more attention we give him, the more addicted he becomes to RIU.
The mentally challenged often have difficulties meeting people and establishing meaningful friendships. RIU has become his window into the real world, as sad as that may sound this may be his only source to interact with humans.
If we were to totally ignore his posts he would quickly lose interest and would find another forum to plague.
For the time being, when he posts poor advice just merely post your opinion and allow the newbie’s to determine who is correct.
Other upstanding members will support your opinion and/or offer constructive alternatives. Arguing or bashing him will only fuel his desire to establish deeper roots into RIU….good or bad attention does not matter to him, he just wants/needs attention.
You will NEVER win an argument with bmeat, does not matter how many indisputable facts you may provide or how many people endorse your position as he will just flip the truth or change the subject or just start a new argument to deflect attention from his inadequacies.
DO NOT ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT......
