I have worked with children for over 30 years and many of them had deep rooted psychological,behavioural and communication problems which prevented them from exhibiting proper behaviour when mixing or communicating with other people.I have worked very closely with psychiatrists,child psychologists and speciallists in child behaviour. It is the concensus of opinion of mental health professionals that children who exhibit anti-social tendencies or exhibit inappropriate behaviour when interacting with others,be brought to task about it.Children like this have to be reminded that what they're doing is not socially acceptable more often and more assertively than children who have mostly acceptable social and communication skills but who cross the line occasionally.

To allow behaviour like that to go unchecked is in fact condoning it as the child sees it and he/she after a while has the very mistaken impression that what they are doing is perfectly "normal" and acceptable and they evolve into adults with extremely disturbing social and psychological problems.

When the mods at the Gibson forum banned a member who is also a member of this forum they were sendng a message loud and clear that lying,insulting people and generally causing bad feelings and mayhem among forum members is quite acceptable and to try and have this sort of thing nipped in the bud is not right.How's that for reinforcing negative behaviour?

Folks

We had our own annoyance here with an australian kid. I think it's better if a person is blocked/banner for a while before the forum gets stirred up totally. It's not possible to handle trolls in a better way. If too many forum members complain to the mods, it has to be done.

Cheers

OK so now that we have piled on... what can he do differently so we can move on and starting singing Kumba Ya... and all that hippie stuff..

Was it so bad he doesnt deserve a 2nd chance ? Sorry don't know the whole story...

Even a third, fourth and fifth chance. But when the BS starts piling up again, you have to pull the plug and allow some time for inner reflection before he comes back.

It's so tempting to respond to this, being a Sagittarius male, but I'll behave myself. At least now I can rest easy in the knowledge he wasn't banned. It was so troubling, I was having nightmares and trouble sleeping.

Nothing. Keep calm and carry on.

After reviewing the earlier (deleted) post, I thought maybe somebody should quote Mr. Nuts so it doesn't look like the first replier was the creator of this thread...

I wonder where he is; there have been no retorts, replies or further contact.

(Actually, I should use this smiley: )

Hi Cajun Blues,Jeffo and Amerigo.Fiirst off our Out to lunch Aussie friend is alive and well plaguing the Gibson Forum with of all things a fetish with broken televisions-I kid you not-he's extremely pleased with himself when he plucks an old worn out TV from someone's garbage and even posts pix of his "treasures" .He asks people to post pix of their old analogue TVs.

With regard to Numbnuts he is getting even more outrageous with his far fetched claims and his bizarre,antisocial behaviour.One example of his horrendous and unpredictable personality traits is exhibited in this incident.He recently posted a Youtube video of one of his "songs" and urged people to write in with honest critiques and to be frank and truthful whether the answer was good or bad.Well to be totally honest the "song" was a disaster,the lyrics were way out in left field and also quite dark and disturbing in places where you could actually decipher them.His guitar playing was far worse than rudimentary and as a matter of fact I've had kids I was teaching play much much better after just 2 weeks.Anyway one person wrote in with some very friendly and helpful advice written very diplomatically,suggesting that maybe he should consider taking voice coaching as even the best singers have singing coaches.His reply was quick and quite nasty and insulting telling the person who wrote the thread to keep his opinions to himself and that his song and performance were quite good and basically they didn't know talent when they saw it. Several people wrote in to remind him that he invited people's comments whether good or bad,of course this didn't sit well with him at all and really set him off.

Besides these outbursts he continues to regale everyone with tales that are more and more unbeleveable even posing as his own father after the "song"incident stating that his "son" Jake had an accident which was just a sad ploy to garner some pity.It didn't take long to poke holes in this charade either.He has to be brought to task for this behaviour because to let it go unchecked is in fact condoning it in his scrambled mind.
