I don't feel guilty if anything I posted towards him contributed to him getting suspended or whatever because he took so many personal shots at me and continually posted false bullshit because he didn't fear any consequence and thought that he was better than everyone.
Even on the multiple times I called him out and posted proof that he was wrong, he'd post a link to the same thread in a later thread claiming that it proved he was right because he thought people were too stupid to check.
Exactly......... if you even disagreed with Fred, he'd claim that it was because you were ignorant and stupid.
I enjoy conversations and debates, but Fred would post false information and belittle anyone that disagreed with his point of view.
Fred can't handle opinions that are different from his own and can't handle being wrong, which doesn't make for a good message board because there's no debate with him.
That's what I thought as well, for a very long time...
But then I noticed Fred was starting to seriously contradict himself. I started paying close attention to whatever topic Fred would address and constantly he'd make a point that was completely against whatever point he was trying to make before that one (if that makes sense haha). I called him out on it several times and he'd either completely ignore my post or flag it and have it deleted.
Fred was a great fan who did use the message boards to have some great conversations and often times made some great points. But most of the time, he was a stubborn contrarian. His main goal here was to get a rise out of people and intentionally start arguments. He didn't honestly believe most of what he was arguing for. He was simply stirring the pot. It was all a game to him. That's what I believe, anyway.
It's hard for me to respect a man like that. But I do hope he comes back but with a newfound sense of integrity and drops the drama crap. When he wasn't starting arguments for the sake of starting arguments, he was a damn fine contributor to this board.
