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.

I'd have to say the Kalwejt/Hashemite duo feeds that a lot.  And I don't mean to trash on Kal, he's a friend of mine.

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.

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.

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.  Roll Eyes

Rochambeau is a pest. Hating him is perfectly rational.

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.

I'm not aware of any 'irrational' hatred of the pest. As I pointed out a few months ago, our reasons are perfectly rational.

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.

The action here is between those who would award Brownie points for improvement, and those who would not in this instance given their perception of the depth of depravity catalogued on the guy's rap sheet.  

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 haven't seen any improvement since his return. He may post a little less but he's still an awful creature.

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.

I think the description you provided in the first paragraph was of the moderators, no?

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):

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.
