I do hope he gets professional help but this is simply inexcusable. - Akiva Moskovitz

I'm sorry you had to deal with him not once, but twice. You're right, COMPLETELY inexcusable. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

Absolutely inappropriate and I am very sorry this type of response hit your feed. You, Rochelle, Audrey and most especially your sister are in my thoughts during this most difficult time. I don't think professional help would suffice this idiot. - Janet

That kid is mental and I've seen it come out in all sorts of shitty little ways. - Christopher Harley

Someday orionstarr will realize what it means to lose a very close loved one .. everyday I wake up and want to visit Mom , but I cant . Its pretty tough stuff . - johnpiercy

Kid? He's 30! - Bec Rowe @d0tski

Yeah, Bec. Sad. I've blocked him now but before I did, I went back through his comments and I see he's intentionally left mean spirited remarks on several user's posts over the last day or two. Sounds like a breakdown. Perhaps I'd have more sympathy for him if I hadn't, in the past, seen him go ape-shit cuckoo on other threads. - Christopher Harley

Don't know what it is with him. He has turned to very negative comments recently. This one compleatly takes things to a whole new low though. - Simon Wicks

Wow :| - Nicholas James

Sad really is the only word for it. I do hope he gets help, and soon. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

Oh my God. - Jim Is Not Smart

Wow, just wow. - Michelle Martinez

I saw that and thought it was incredibly strange. He has always been a bit over the top. Now, blocked. Sorry, Akiva. I've been spending much less time here because of crap like this. - Oldengrey (Jay)

All he does lately is leave snide and negative comments but that was completely inexcusable. And he writes posts whining that no one wants to interact with him? I wonder why. - Trish R

Damn, I was thinking he was joking on my other thread, but I'm guessing he was actually trying to be hurtful. Blocked. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

For some reason he hates FF and thanks that everyone here doesn't like him and that he thanks that we all think he isn't cool enough to be here. Thats what he told me when I taked to him about it on Facebook. - Mathew™ one of a kind

6 or 7 hours ago, he said he was killing himself on his FB status, which i just saw on his FF as I blocked him. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Personally I think he as gone off the deep end since he lost his job. Yes I went a bit crazy when I lost my job and was unemployed for 90% of the year, but he is just losing all of it. - Mathew™ one of a kind

He has actually removed that status from his facebook since. - Mathew™ one of a kind

He's obviously troubled, and has been for a while. What he did was effed up, but if he thinks his problems are related to people on FF not liking him, or him not being cool enough to be here, he's deluded. I think he clearly has deep and untreated psychiatric issues and needs to get his mental illness under control. Akiva, I'm sorry you had to be subjected to that in times like these. - Derrick

Jay, as you can see in our responses to Akiva, 99.999% of FF is good and balanced people, so please don't dismiss the whole thing because of that one nutcase. I'm also very sorry that you got subjected to that, Akiva. - Kamilah Gill

When I saw what he was posting after he lost his job I felt really bad for him. He's obviously in a very dark place right now but this comment is not excusable, in any way, shape or form. My girlfriend has been unemployed for 7 months because there's no one hiring for her career in our area right now, but you don't see her telling people off for no good reason. He needs some professional help indeed. - David Cook from fftogo

How awful! - Stormy

So sorry to hear about your mother. What he wrote was inexcusably anti-social and cruel. - Katy S

I commend your tolerance. I blocked him several weeks ago. - Mistletoe Glen

The dude has been out of it for a month or so. Seriously think he stopped taking his meds for whatever he has. He needs help. - Rodfather

</golfclap> - Christian (Simply X)

Saw this early this mornig and was really hoping he would come to his senses and delete this comment. Sorry you were subjected to this. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

I blocked him a week or two ago for starting a fight in some thread or other...but this is a whole 'nother level of wrong - Louis Simoneau

he probably thinks he's being funny. I hope so, the alternatives are worse. It's not working. - Chuq Von Rospach

Yup I had to block him based on some other really uncessary and horrible comments on other threads. Sad. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

*sigh* the public block was the right recourse. On a meta note, @Christian (SimplyX) I was perplexed by the implied sentiment of "golfclap". I'm hoping urban dictionary def. 2 is the intended meaning: "Originally, "golf clap" was used to mean a sarcastic applause, for example the kind of applause that is given when someone drops their food tray in a cafeteria. However, it is increasingly being used to mean a sincere show of appreciation, especially on FARK.COM." That's what I'll assume. - Micah Wittman

Guaranteed to be trolls/griefers on public forums like this. What's surprising is that he's linked back to his Facebook, which allows him to be found pretty easily. Just block and ignore, people like him get off on the attention their abrasive behavior gets them. Remove the "attention" factor and the thrill's gone - LANjackal

Douche nozzle. - cecily

Joseph seems to be severely depressed (he made a reference to suicide on Facebook last night). He needs support and I hope he reaches out for it. - Sprague D

That dude is severely disturbed. I blocked him months ago after i saw him flip-out on some people, even a few who were just trying to offer some helpful advice. The guy needs professional help. I personally think he's a very dangerous person, probably on the verge of hurting people in real life or himself. =( - ·[▪_▪]·

blech, no need to deal with that jackass. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Way to go. Just Blocked him myself. - Roberto Bonini

I remember some other problem he caused on here a couple of months ago. I almost unsubbed him then, but I thought I'd give him another chance. Now I'll be blocking him. - Aaron Hood from BuddyFeed

Ya blocking too--not worth my time IMO - Kelly W.

Sociopaths be gone - David HC Soul

Woah! What's his deal!? - that terrible! :-( - Kol Tregaskes

I don't even remember why, but I know I banned him in my first hour on FF. Glad he lost his job. - Matthew DeVries

Simply disgusting. He needs to be removed and banned all together by friendfeed. - Russ Jackson

So sorry that you're dealing with this as well as the loss of your mom, Akiva. :-( I blocked him a month ago, after giving him a second chance the month before that. Oh, well. Anyone who trolls for attention via the Nobody-Comments-On-My-Posts route earns an immediate block heretofore. Just sayin'. - Lisa L. Seifert

that bastard is persona non grata as of last night....fuck that noise....do not pass go...DO NOT collect $200 - Live4Emma (L4S)

What the hell?! Blocked him too, that's a horrible thing to say - Mo Kargas

damnit! - Alp

That's crossing a line and then burning the line while pissing on it. Completely and inexcusably rude. - Alex Scoble

Does anyone know this guy personally? If so, please drag him to therapy - stat. - Mona Nomura

It was the wrong thing to post, and blocking is definitely appropriate. I've noticed his posts and tweets getting pretty anti-social lately (if an online forum is truly social) and i just wonder if he's going through a rough patch in RL. at any rate, sometimes it's best to just say nothing. and to you, @Akiva, I haven't been on as frequently: definitely, condolences and prayers. - .LAG liked that

yea, what he said was wrong, just ignore him if he bothers you, he obviously is going through some things and doesnt know how to handle it/keep attitude to himself, I wont block him, people have a right to their opinion, honestly if hitler was alive and on friendfeed I would follow him because it would be damn interesting - Kyle Weller

Some people are just negative, if you can understand why people do what they do you wont hate them as much. I'm sure he didnt mean exactly what you think he did by posting that, he is human and imperfect. Maybe we can stop ignoring things like this in society and start working on helping people help themselves. - Kyle Weller

Whenever someone said something fucked up to me, It was a learning experience, if you take things personal over the internet you got more problems then him. - Kyle Weller

Blocking is very appropriate! It's not "hating" or taking "things personal over the internet". Blocking just means there's obviously no reason to read what this person has to say, if he's going to respond like that. Anything else he has to say is irrelevant. It's not like you're killing him over it. Kudos to you for setting that boundary. - Head Ov Metal

I was about to reply to Kyle's responses but then it appears that Head Ov Metal went ahead and gave the answer that I would've given anyway. - Akiva Moskovitz

That's sick. They need serious help, though. - Ernie Oporto from Nambu

Were the passage in Ecclesiastes long enough, I'm pretty sure their there'd be "A time to help and a time to shun". - Matthew DeVries

This orionstar guy is the whiniest guy on FF. "Why don't people give me any attention, WAAAH!". What a jerk -- he has now earned a block from me too. - Shey, Jamaican of FF
