Did you confront him with it yet? Openly? I feel like a good confrontation (=fight).

The synthesised sound.
The best part are his solos. Real good, intense here and they happen often enough. Everyone plays with intensity. The lights, the glare, the red.
meh
I watch 2-3 songs and turn it off. |
And the band that's on there has been so well documented on other videos and dvds...why another one? How much of the 60s Mothers got filmed? Surely
they could release more of that stuff, and stuff like that.
I like a lot of the 80s stuff but what I don't like is how much singing he does...you know, just sort of wandering around the stage with a microphone.
Don't get me wrong...I like the rants and raps and stuff but I don't really like it when it's "Frank The Singer", you know?

He's usually wanting a fight.
Is that what you want?

I'm a lover not a fighter.
I don't think it matters what anyone does. He'll just go away and come back later with the same schtick. Now he plays nice until he thinks people
won't expect it and then he turns on them.
He thrives on the attention.
We can talk about it here but I'm not interested in spinning his wheels, so I don't talk to him. If I find something positive I try to respond
positively. But mostly I ignore him and whoever gets sucked into his swirl.
<shrug>
what do you want me to do? I'll listen to whatever you have to say,

There's probably a limit to how much physical damage you can inflict on someone over the internet. And Bonny, where did you get that Punky flag? I
want one. Do they have them at Amazon?

Grab a nice clean bedsheet and paint PUNKY on it, in large letters. Hide from your mother for a while.

I agree with Punky on this. I don't want to get in a fight with Zombie. The only time I talk to him is when he says something particularly
contradictory and I put him on the spot. Usually when I do that, he avoids the main question but I don't pursue it. Making one or two comments is
enough for me, I'm not interested in flame wars.
There was a perfect example two days ago where I put him on the spot about getting offended that people wouldn't believe he was black. He's purposely
hiding his true identity and yet he wants us to believe he's black. You can't have it both ways and I told him so and his reaction was totally
pathetic. When I see that, it's enough for me, no need to keep on arguing with the guy.
As for his true identity, I don't know for sure and I don't really care that much. I wonder about people who need to carry on like that, if I knew him
personally I don't think I'd be able to trust him.

I got fans on three continents!!! thanx for the huge vote of confidence people! 
You're so right Polydigm!
Aren't you or haven't you been a teacher of some sort? A bunch of my siblings or their spouses have been teachers ( I did it once for about six
months. The only way to deal with 'bad behavior' is to be consistent and not return the aggression. Confront them with the behavior, see if they can
see it as bad behavior and get them to 'apologize' in some form. But he's not a child and only sees that response to his behavior as a simple
exchange of moves in a game. Maybe the rules change, the roles change, but little more. He's long since learned that the one's with a consistent
approach are just to be 'dealt with' in a different way, as the rules of the game have changed with that exchange (assuming that there was a real
difference in the response to his behavior, as for example, inconsistent to consistent, if you follow).
My hope is that with enough consistent responses from folks regarding his bullshit, like you did, and Bonny in her ways, and so many people, Fritz,
and the rest ignore him . . . he might just drop the silly flaming. I'm too hopeful.

Aww...
By now it seems that Zombie's lost it. He's just SO FUCKING ANNOYING. Ignoring is all that is left by now.

Yes Punky, I am a qualified teacher with about 12 years of accumulated on and off experience. My last job was teaching Physics and Maths to
international students - mostly Chinese - in a foundation studies course that leads directly to university entrance. Almost zero discipline problems,
so I think it's more probably due to being a parent that's led to me being able to keep my cool when dealing with irrationality - but I have my
moments.

Awww... I was thinking of a hat with a ferret on it... I want one to piss off my sister.
Am I correct in locating it in Switzerland, near the Mont Blanc and Mont Dolent?
