For future use...

Probably should have been the first sign that he was just an internet troll.

#1 onto it. :y:

Fan I love you but let people do what they want. What you are doing is extremely patronizing.

I will not stop encouraging TPWW to stop feeding the Vincebot 9000.

Nah, I don't think you should take it so seriously, Dale. It's good advice, really. And Fan's doing a bit of a public service, especially if people think they are going to get somewhere with CyNick.

In all honesty, I find the people who argue with Cynick, or say not to argue with Cynick, much more "annoying" then I do The Cynick......

Like he in himself I can deal with, but I can't stand the constant attention he gets, even if that attention is to say to not give him attention..... if you know what I mean.....

I realize, of course, that this is an ironic post, because I say that I hate giving the whole Cynick thing undue attention and I am doing just that.

I can get what you're saying, but nothing will ever top The CyNick in terms of annoyingness. Maybe I will just start completing ignoring him because I love you so much. :kiss:

people can talk to whomever they want. This is a discussion forum.

Yes, people can, but they shouldn't if they want fruitful discussion. That is Fan's point. If you're trying to reach CyNick or have a discussion about facts using logic, Fan is just letting you know that it's a waste of time. He's correct in that.

People can draw their own conclusions about whomever they wish on the board without the histrionics.

Even when Cynick uses facts and logic Fan just goes "RESIST." Probably isn't even reading.

Fan's just giving them a heads up. A lot of people still say "Hmm, CyNick makes good points" and then have to find out the hard way. Of course you are free to do whatever you want, but Fan is just saving people a lot of time, because he's a trustworthy bloke like that, and history usually bares him out to be correct.

Time for you guys to do some research and steal an idea from Squared Circle Radio Gazette: the Trial of Cynick.

The great Patriot enemies are all falling down except the Giants. Revenge is nigh.

That's because that's the trap. When CyNick uses selected facts (he actually isn't very honest with his cherry-picking) it's to honey-coat the hook. Then when he has you, he'll say ridiculous things like the quotes above. Fan is just giving people the heads up not...to...fall...for it.

Again, it's a public service.

I would want to be on the defense for a challenge.

STD is correct when he says that most of the time I do not actually read CyNick's posts anymore. I do not see the point for reasons Noid already stated.

And @ Dale... It's pretty obvious that he's trolling at this point. Trying to make him see a point is a waste of time since his M.O. is to troll the forum, not have an actual discussion. Encouraging people not to get caught up in it is not the same as telling them what to do.

Remembere way back when I told you and Dale to stop feeding the troll and you both went apes hit over it? Dale is maintaining that point.

I still think people should stop interacting either him. I find Fan to be hilarious when he quotes stuff from other threads to shoe the idiotic path he is going to go down. No idea why Dale dislikes that (or does Dale dislike the STD correction thing?). Either way, Fan had been hilarious lately.

I legitimately do not remember that. My apologies. I can't imagine myself going ape-shit over it, because nothing on these boards emotionally effects me that much, but if I tore you apart for it, my bad -- history has proved you correct.

You are correct about Fan. Hilarious and on point.

:roll::roll::roll:

But like.... who cares? Why do people give a shit about any of this? Why does it have to be a thing? It's fucking wrestling. CyNick can say anything he wants about wrestling, so can you, so can fan so can anyone. I don't understand why we need forewarning about any particular poster. I find it all unbelievably silly.

I only got annoyed at your "not feeding the troll" thing because it came across as you being "one step ahead". I knew what I was doing, I enjoyed exchanging with someone who was being as ridiculous as I thought he was. Which was why I kept doing it. I don't need someone to tell me my business, it's fucking annoying. If I reply to anyone, it's because I want to and I don't care about whether people think I'm being smart or cool and I don't need to read about how "I'm doing what he wants" because I'm doing what I want.

Dale, this is someone trying to tell you your business. Fan is just warning people. He doesn't even come off as having an angry tone. It's like "Lol, what are you guys even doing this for?". I get that you don't want people telling you your mind in things like mike adamle is trying to do here, but I think you're projecting a tone onto Fan. I really don't think he "gives a shit" like you think he does.

I mean, the dude can speak for himself (and has proven he will back it up with his fists for America), but I think he's just trying to help people not waste their time. I doubt someone would believe it at first, but when you realize "Hey, that guy was right," maybe you might be more inclined to believe him next time.

I pick my spots with CyNick because it is fun too, but Fan is on the right side of history here.

Nothing on these boards has ever made me legitimately angry, to clarify. Fuck, there aren't enough things in real life that make me angry. When I tear someone apart for something inane like Matt Hardy allegedly being Wrestler of the Year, I suggest no one take it as seriously as mike adamle. This is a god damn wrestling discussion board. If this place elicits a major negative shift in your emotional mood, I suggest you cut it out of your life. That goes with pretty much anything on the internet.

I'm just gonna say it. Fan and noid are coming off as pretentious asshats in this thread. You guys don't like cynicks opinion. It must annoy you something fierce that you can't force him to conform to your viewpoints. So then you demonize him to try and make it where he can't have a discussion with anyone else ever. It's petty and pathetic, almost like you are trying to run him off and that's the kind of shit that's wrong with these forums sometimes. People bitch about socks running people off and here you guys are trying it with your main handles. At least you aren't hiding it I guess.

"Everything CyNick posts is bullshit even though I don't actually read it."

Would you read fake news websites, Seph? CyNick is Breitbart coming in and saying "proof black women can't drive." Fan is someone trying to stop someone engaging in the comments section once they get offended.

Fan and I have tried to talk to CyNick. I still sometimes engage on some points for fun, but I know that he is not genuine. When Fan challenged CyNick on points, provided evidence counterpoint to CyNick's points, he ignored, ran and refused to concede. When you do engage CyNick, you eventually realize that it is not a debate that is going to come to any sort of rewarding conclusion. Fan is speaking from experience with CyNick.

Others have tried too. BigCrippyZ and Damien Rey come to mind. I even saw hb2k from SCG Radio give it a go. People who have been down the rabbit-hole are just trying to help out others. We're not suggesting others don't engage CyNick because we can't get him to conform -- how boring would this place be if everybody thought the same thing? -- it's a response to him being a clear troll.

It is sincerely nice that you are against internet bullying though. Good on your for standing up for what you think is right.

I just don't get what the big deal is. It is one guy with his own opinions.

People seem to take things really literally around here. When Fan says "RESIST" he is not actually making an order to resist. You guys do get that, right? It's like an "engage at your own risk" warning, and it always pops up when people are getting into the circular arguments with CyNick.

People can't stand when someone RUTHLESSLY POSITIVE comes in to break up their negativity

Now shut up everybody, y'all ruining this fine thread.

But do you need to do that everytime the guy talks? (Directed at the Noid comment above the one above my post.)

Lol, these boards are really starting to make me hate the word "opinion." An opinion is "I find cats cute." When someone says "all cats are dogs" it is not an opinion.

I don't think there is a big deal? I don't think Fan really cares. I mean, I can't speak for him, but I'm fairly certain he just finds it baffling and amusing people still can't work out that they're being trolled.

So, Cynick can respond however he wants to anyone every time, and people can post any response they want to Cynick every time, BUT, people CAN'T respond to Cynick if every time their response warns other people that engaging with Cynick might be a bad idea?

Lol, I don't even do it. I'm going to start though. :kiss:

:lol:

I love how this thread has turned into a debate about Cynick.

That would just be silly, boss.

I honestly thought people had worked out he was a troll and were engaging with him for the fun of it...but now? I actually think people have been worked if they're casting Fan, of all people, as the heel.

CyNick is going to make an absolutely awful babyface. White-bread as fuck.

Repetition gets annoying z. Every time the CyNick posts this same argument breaks out. It gets longer and more tedious every single time. It's gettingnold. We've heard it. We get it. I disagree with most stuff CyNick posts myself. But its one thing to tell him he's wrong sometimes and another to suggest everyone just ignore him. If you are predisposed to disliking his comments then just ignore him. Quit hijacking threads to have 2 page debates over him that ruin the original topic. It's been done enough.
