Title: Opinion of the irrational hatred of Rochambeau
Post by: CatoMinor on July 24, 2011, 11:01:50 PM
He posted too much when he was new, but other than that I never got why some people here seem to hate him so much.

Some people annoy others.
Some people never learned to tolerate others.

Put them in the same place and you get hate.

It's not irrational. And it's not hatred. In other words, this poll makes no sense.


Title: Re: Opinion of the irrational hatred of Rochambeau
Post by: Joe Republic on July 25, 2011, 05:44:00 AM
Here's my response from the last time somebody asked why he's so hated:

He's just dull and boring sometimes and an obvious homosexual, but he's not a sociopath or troll.

No, he is all of these things.  And you can remove the "sometimes".

Here's a decent summary:

But he's been a worthless poster who wrecks the signal-to-noise ratio here ever since he started posting.  He's omnipresent and has nothing to say of any value whatsoever.  He posts inane one-word responses to complex posts, empty-quotes, bumps old threads, is the most obtuse person here, and seldom contributes more to a thread than "Yes."

Rochambeau contributes nothing and that would be okay if he just commented a lot.  The problem is that he's a chronic thread starter.  A hybrid of Catmusic and v0031.

Actually, the biggest problem of all with him is his disturbing need to ask personal questions about us without actually answering any about himself.  We know nothing about him yet he wants to know everything about us.  That's a perverted parasite not a poster.

Quote from: patrick1
You have diarrhea of posts and the constipation of ideas.

So yes, the 200 utterly useless posts and equally vacuous new threads each day was one thing, the creepily non-human line of questioning about human sexuality was another.  His reporting the same not-very-offensive post 34 times was a fun episode too.  There are just too many facets to explain why he is among the worst posters in this forum's history.

I forgot to mention the impersonating other posters, too.

Oh, and how could I forget:


I want a Kazakhstan avatar and a Nigeria avatar. Also a Brazil avatar and South Africa avatar while you're at it.

Could we please have a Kazakhstan avatar?

In addition for Kazakhstan, one for Russia would be nice.

Let's just say that if there *was* a Norwegian Kazakhstan avatar, I'd swear a pledge to wear it for at least three months.

This is my pledge.



And finally, a PM forwarded directly to me:

Hey [name redacted],

I was wondering if you could please do me a huge favor and ask Joe Republic to make a Kazakhstan avatar. Don't tell him I told you to ask him, though. If you're unable to do that, that's OK. Thank you very much. Sincerely,

Rochambeau.

And when I finally made the avatar as a joking insult to him, lo and behold, he uses it anyway to 'become' Borat.  Now who could possibly have seen that coming??  Not I.  ::)

I won't deny Rochambeau used to be a WOS in the past, but what the hell has he done recently to deserve such hate.
Yes, he's been annoying and irritating but it's a vast improvement over "want to know every f***ing thing about you" Creepo Depot man.

I'd just like to remind I was very, very, very patient toward Rochambeau, defending him for a long time, as I hoped he can improve.

But he obviously can't improve, and I'm fed up with his bulls**t.

The irrational part is his sudden upswing in popularity. If anything, he's actually WORSE this time around. Has Roach posted anything at all besides Google image dumps in his hot thread (why can't members just go to porn sites and look up celebs themselves?) and sh**tty polls in forum matchup?  

I didn't used to hate Roach like a lot of the forum for the longest time, but come on now.  He's devolved into a spambot.

Nod to the mods though, because it is they, and they alone, who had to spend countless incredibly frustrating hours dealing with someone who seemed 24/7 to be trying to degrade, undermine and embarrass this forum.

That is all.

I didn't mind him so much, but King is right. His signal to noise ratio has somehow DECREASED which is pretty unbelievable, I found him kind of charming in an odd way before, but ever since he got that "Kazakhstan avatar" (Completely Missing The Point but that's no surprise) he's kind of turned into a non-Nazi version of Robert Stark. The only thing of value from him recently is the rather comical amusement in his denial of being gay/bi.

I don't know what it is with this forum, probably a lot of people who were bullied or marginalized as children who have now grown in bitter adults and are using the anonymity provided by an internet forum to get some sort of revenge, but there's way too much bullying and harassment. And there are a few posters especially who go out of their way to shout down and attack people, when they could just as easily and less maliciously (and in my opinion annoyingly), just put their targets on ignore and forget about them.

And, I mean, look: Rochambeau is obviously not a quality poster. But let the moderators deal with him. Don't make hundreds of polls where you can circle jerk about how much more you hate him than everyone else or go into the threads he makes, post in them, and tell him to die in a fire or whatever.

Actually, there's not nearly enough.  Take it from a person wiser than I (from the SA thread about the undermoderated, never criticize anyone cesspool that is the TV Tropes forum):

Quote from: FrozenVent
I know people smarter than me went over this in the Fandom Secret thread, but essentially:

The problem with those communities is that you end up having a core group of people who went through some social difficulties - bullying, rejections, whatever; they took middle school personally - and never grew past that.

So they go through life trying not to pick on people, trying to be nice to everyone. Eventually, however, their definition of nice expands to not calling out people on unacceptable behaviors because who knows... Maybe liking Loli is the same as when I had to wear braces! And if I call that guy out, he'll call me out, and I'll be the center of negative attention!

Either the moderators and admins are absent or they're too wishy-washy to do say anything, so crap doesn't get called out. Then there's the group effect, where people go "Well, nobody's calling him out, so that must be acceptable behavior" and let stuff go. It snowballs. Eventually you end up with a community where it is completly unacceptable to criticize anyone, for anything... And you end up with a gigantic snowball of s**t. Because discrimination, even against pedophiles and complete whackjob, is unacceptable. If you don't allow the nazis to speak up, you're just as bad as they are.

That's why online communities without a firm moderation always, and I mean always, go to s**t. Think about that the next time you get probated.

They don't really care that people use the crazy to stereotype the entire community, because the world outside of the community is just meanies and those assholes who picked on you in high school, so their opinion is worthless. They're a bunch of sizeist, lookist, ableist jerkasses! I mean, sure, that guy is essentially a necro-pedo-zoophile, but that's his right! Nobody called him out on it, therefore it is accepted in the community, therefore, normal people (IE, everybody who isn't *me* or a big meanie) accept it!

If I hadn't woken the f**k up sometime in high school, I'd probably be one of them by now. There but for the grace of God...

"Accepting" people that clearly don't fit in with the norms of the community degrade and undermine the community into a cesspool of lowest-common-denominator idiots and freaks as everyone else gets chased off by the lowering standards.  People that don't belong need to be ostracized and excised from the community as quickly and harshly as possible.

Then let the moderators and administrators deal with it. I have no problem with that. But we shouldn't be solving these problems through harassment and personal attacks. This forum doesn't need to descend into some sort of Lord of the Flies lawless anarchy where we get rid of bad posters by ruthlessly tormenting and persecuting them. There's a reason, or at least there should be a reason, that we have rules and moderators. Now I know the moderators here are more concerned with making sure no one says naughty words and closing one of the most popular threads because of their personal biases, but maybe they should do a better job of actually making sure that this place is readable and engaging, instead of relying (as you seem to be implying) on mob rule to do their job for them.

Rochambeau is simply the worst kind of troll: useless.

Jmfcst was truly entertaining and ocassionaly made real contributions.

Feeblepizza was dumb as hell, but had some positive contributions to what-if board. Just some, but still, that should count a little.

Einzige was a a-hole, but left a lot of valuable contributions.

All three were banned. None was a half that bad as Rochambeau.

And Rochambeau is not amusing at all. He's an annoying spammer.

For the sake of our survival as community, GTFO.

You should check the Hot Guys Thread, Hot Girls Thread, Forum Community board, and Survivor threads to see my contributions.

If someone proceeds to insult me numerous times, why should I care and get my feelings hurt if I didn't do anything wrong? And again, if Joe made a Kazakhstan semi-avatar, I have a right to use it. And asking for avatars is a perfectly legitimate right, considering that many other Forumites do it. I don't know that much about Stark (other than the fact that he was an anti-Semite), but I haven't done anything bad to the Forum over the last nine months. And again, I'm not gay or bi.

What Mikado said, basically. If we were to listen to the "don't be meeeen" crowd this place would be a sh*thole.

Stark was a nazi and an antisemite, but he deserved to be accepted !

Hamilton was a sociopathic creep who tried to take over Atlasia by manipulating people and engaging in zombie recruitment, as well as a troll, but he deserved to be accepted !

Libertas was a stupid hack unable to argue properly with other people, a conspiracy terrorist and an antisemite, but he deserved to be accepted !

Yates faked a brain tumor, but he deserved to be accepted !

Svensson was an annoying hack who got mad at everybody for silly reasons, but he deserved to be accepted !

Feeblepizza was a 13-year old moron who constantly posted inanities, spammed, trolled, brought his friend in the forum who became the most pathetic troll of all times, but he deserved to be accepted !

Rochambeau is a totally useless spammer, with no contribution of any relevance to the forum debates, whose only interests is posting in the hot girls/guys thread, wearing a Kazakhstan avatar and making retarded polls, but he deserves to be accepted !

I don't know what it is with this forum, probably a lot of people who were bullied or marginalized as children who have now grown in bitter adults and are using the anonymity provided by an internet forum to get some sort of revenge, but there's way too much bullying and harassment. And there are a few posters especially who go out of their way to shout down and attack people, when they could just as easily and less maliciously (and in my opinion annoyingly), just put their targets on ignore and forget about them.

And, I mean, look: Rochambeau is obviously not a quality poster. But let the moderators deal with him. Don't make hundreds of polls where you can circle jerk about how much more you hate him than everyone else or go into the threads he makes, post in them, and tell him to die in a fire or whatever.

Well written, Lief.

Oh no, I quite understood why you made a semi-Kazakhstan avatar. You simply didn't want me to enjoy using a real one. Still, between either using a semi-Kazakhstan avatar and not using any avatar at all, my choice was obvious. And your refusal not to allow me to use it just reflects the undeserved hate that I get throughout this place, considering that I did not do anything bad for nine months.

I do disapprove of the culture of bullying when it comes to certain people like Bushie or Gporter and I never engaged in that.

Rochambeau is something completely different. He is actively disrupting the forum and doesn't belong here. I'm very tolerant of stupidity, more so than most posters on here, but I dislike disruptive trolling which is what Rochambeau has been doing since he joined.

We can't just do that. Unlike what you seem to think we're not a band of thugs...first he reappeared and then there has been increasing momentum for a ban. The discussion is going on and will hopefully soon lead to a ban being implemented.

I think you have to expect people to speak up against behaviour that is unacceptable. There are posters who are unfairly persecuted on here, but Rochambeau isn't really one of them.

What exactly have I done over the last nine months to warrant a ban? I don't seem to recall doing anything bad. If the moderators have a complaint against my activity over the last nine months, how about they PM me and we'll discuss this issue? Then again, I should expect typical rhetoric like this from you. I mean, you're the one who gave me about 20 infraction points in Atlasia in August 2010 that were completely undeserved, not to mention your various insults of me over time.

I had no idea I did something so brilliantly as giving you 20 points. I need to start giving myself more credit.

You're one of the most Hitlerlike of your crew, Gustaf, congratulations.

Rochambeau, the only thing ever discussed around here anymore is what-time-of-the-month is it for these little Hitlers, so unless you find that interesting, there's not much point.

I entirely understand (and share) the desire to get rid of him, but why don't you guys just do that, then? Surely there has to be consensus on this issue in the mod squad by now? It just feels like he's being kept around as some sort of punching bag.

You're not?

If we were a band of thugs you would probably be supporting us.

Yes, I know you think I'm Hitlerlike because I opposed censoring and punishment in the Roch case.

And of course the only one who harps on and on about the moderators is you.

Haha, that is a very good point and very clever!  But only if you were doing just as I like about certain issues I care about (and since those issues don't really apply on the internet the extrapolation from my views on coup-in-Thailand doesn't really work.. but still, kudos on the quip.. I love a good quip).
