We've already tried the encouraging it to be a productive member of the board, rather than destructive, Sirensong. Unfortunately, this seems to be an entity who is unable to deal with positive attention. They need to get it in a negative, unhealthy way. I would feel very bad for this person if it weren't for the fact they are disrupting a community service with their attention seeking, nuisance behaviour. We have here an individual who has the time in their life to do hundreds of posts under multiple IDs. They're so full of anger and self hate, that they're unable to manage a civil conversation. They have so little outside social contacts, that they fixate upon online venues (this is not the first it has disrupted) to gain a measure of self worth.
The bottom line.. this person does not realize what they are doing is wrong. We have an immature personality incapable of self censoring. They are proud of the number of responses to their nuisance thread. They see it as a sign of success. This is a positive reinforcement to them. They feel that they are popular or respected because of the visit count and the number of posts (although the fact that they were over half those visits and posts doesn't seem to matter to them.) Doing the right thing and social conscience mean nothing to this entity. They do not care that they are disrupting a serious forum. Being productive in it wouldn't give them the same thrill. It would be nice to think that one day they'll get therapy and become a positive member of society. In reality, I'm afraid this person is going to be one of those life failures. The only positive thing about the situation is that type of personality seldom manages to breed, so future generations of whatever flaw this individual has will not be replicated into the gene pool.
