    Is there not an ignore button?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    There should be an 'add poster as nemesis' button so people could officially hook up as sworn lifelong enemies.

    All my nemeses are banned.
    Or untouchable.
    But mostly banned.

    Like the long term unemployed, in the Indian sense of the word?

    Bam. A few more nemeses right there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    I have been on here for a few years with this name and several more with the previous one - the closest thing I have to a 'nemesis' was a couple of hysterical pm's from a very sad egotistical warped confused little individual (because I thanked a post they didn't approve of).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I doubt you did latin, so I can only assume you learned that from Mystery Men too.

    Kinda but won't say who. Have been considering either getting off this and deleting my account or changing my username or something cause of it.

    Can't you just report them to the mods? if what they're doing is bad enough that you want to go to all that trouble, surely you could just get them nice and banned?

    I have no nemesis, but if anyone wants to fill that void, please send an application via pm with the heading 'Moriarty to your Holmes'*

    (*don't actually pm me, kthxbai)

    I had four nemesises (nemisi?) Why the dramaz?! I'm lovely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar

    I think the plural is 'Nemo'.

    I know its not something I thought would happen. Some people can be just very mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,366 ✭✭✭Star Bingo


    a boards nemesis pff :o .. maybe some spiteful resident boardsie nurds who don't know actual in your face sh*t develop feelings toward other members but such is the intensity right here i wouldn't even notice cos i do seem to have a brotherly 'nemesis' so anything outside the family is peanuts and never an issue. but even after all the intense psychotic displays, death threats n general attempted intimidation regularly resulting in bloodshed it still required him to ultimately say 'i'm your nemesis'. - kid brother grew too big for his boots but its as one-sided sibling rivalry really.. surely

    -but no nurdy boardsie poofs need be hellbent on virtually pursuing anyone on the boards that'd amount to pathetic. if so, name and shame for a laugh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    I'd have people who's posts drive me up the wall on my ignore list but I've never been on the receiving end of any sort of personal abuse from a poster.

    I feel left out, someone give me abuse through PM !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    I have from time to time but they just don't seem to last very long.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,272 ✭✭✭✭Max Power1


    I also left out another troll from the rock & metal forum who is on my ignore list.

    I wont name him as I dont think he posts in AH.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    I had one but after a lengthy and heated battle in the thunderdome he got site banned (due to other things).

    None really at the moment, anyone who irritates me I usually just put on ignore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    When winter draws in I think I might get me a nemesis.

    Someone to keep me angrily typing long into the night with a whiskey by my side.

    Yeah. That sounds nice.

    I think I'll do it.




    After all, as Neil Young said: A nemesis. A man needs a nemesis. A nemesis. When will I see you again?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i don't have a nemisis, i have posters that irritate my last nerve though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,749 ✭✭✭tony 2 tone


    Had one nemesis on board, but he managed to get site banned. Used to be friends with the ****er in real life, but he ripped some people off, both on boards and in my group of friends. And just generally acted the prick.

    Not that i'm aware of. I've never received an abusive pm in my fours years visiting this place.

    where am I going wrong? :pac:

    He torments me constantly :mad::mad:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER


    Yeah ive got one, for no apparent reason he Just seems to be a complete dickhead, follows me around sometimes, send him a good P.M but never did he reply. But other than that everyone loves me around here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    There are some posters who I really really hate, for varying reasons really. Some for how they treat people I know, some for just generally being dickish. I would say I have a minimum of 3 people on here that I really totally hate. Then a few more I just dislike.

    The people I like and get on well with here far outweigh the cnuts though.

    No, but I do find excessive use of this - :rolleyes: extremely annoying when you're in disagreement with someone and they use :rolleyes: at the end of every sentence/post in an attempt to make their argument look more credible.

    In short, :rolleyes: is my boards nemesis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,550 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    From the perspective of potential gossip, this thread has turned out to be a major disappointment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    I hate trolls.

    But no nemesis to date.
    Who wants to be me nemesis?

    there are just way too many people to remember if you've disagreed over something or not. or maybe its my awful memory, no enemies so far anyways :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,880 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Jesus i can't believe the amount of hatred on boards......i thought it was a sociable place to hang out, learn new things, maybe make a few new friends etc.

    Looks like i'll be sitting in the old rockin' chair in the porch with the shotgun beside me!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Love all the people who "have nemesis" but won't say their username. I had one. His name is Shawn Raven but he was perma-banned from Boards for acting the gowl.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,054 ✭✭✭SadieSue


    I don't have any nemeses but its early days yet. My posts tend to be on the silly side, so I probably annoy a few peeps.

    More disagreements should be resolved using the Thunderdome.

    Captain Picard is my nemesis.

    That symbol means "your opinion is beyond my capacity to debate, but I shall not back down".

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It is quite a sociable place. But like any community there are those that undermine others, there are rumour mills, there are scandals.

    I have made a couple of good friends on here. But this is about nemesis so people aren't mentioning friends!

    It's not that bad. Everyone is going to encounter someone they don't get along with. This applies to all aspects of life. You just ignore them and move along.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,954 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Nope, no nemesis here. Although if I had the time and the energy, I'd happily make Conno16 my nemesis.

    Not me Terry

    *see last post with shotgun reference!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I don't like the way you come across in your posts, but it is only natural that one will occasionally encounter posters which one finds distasteful on a forum with as many users such as this. Of course I wouldn't want to like everybody, that would be rather boring.
    I wasn't actually referring to you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    SEPT 23 1989: so you are my nemesis on Boards

    NEMESIS: Eh Yeah

    SEPT 23 1989: Do i have to sit up?

    NEMESIS: No

    SEPT 23 1989: Well then knock yourself out


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    I had one when I was a mod on adverts. The fecker was banned and kept coming back again and again, and because I was used to his writing style I was the one who always spotted him. He had around 24 accounts at the last count.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    I love you all, you're my only friends and that means a lot to me :'-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I remember getting some crap from a member some time ago, i can't even remember their user name, i just totally ignored it at the time, and after a while it just stopped,

    I've gotten some of the oddest PMs.



    In general, there are are posters I've gotten to know in RL and I adore them. The others, some I like others Im indifferent. I dont see the point of hating someone on the internet.
