Yeah, it never really occurred to me to question whether Gogo was being sincere in his wackiness, whatever that means, I just thought some of his posts were so fucking silly they were hilarious, and I liked that.

(God, I almost wish he was still here so I can just post that on every thread he makes)

Even that wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't actually a complete piece of shit. His being a piece of shit made his annoying personality so much worse.

I was trying to remember how he posted so I could do a sarcastic impression of exactly why it got on my tits so much and you have nailed it.
I remembered all the "yos" he started adding to his posts to be quirky and it all came back to me.

It doesn't need to be questioned, it's just apparent...you bitch.

Ok..."sincere" isn't the exact word. It was all just transparently too "look at me!!".

And I find the whole "aren't I so funny because I'm so random?" shtick grating. He had an annoying child's sense of humor(more like an annoying teenager who thinks they know much more about the world than they do...if that makes any sense), while simultaneously being very duplicitous. As aels said, there was a large gap between how he tried to present himself and how he actually was(even that doesn't quite get to the heart of the matter because you could easily say everyone does that to some degree). I kinda saw right through that early on and I found it disturbing. I think anyone defending him fell for it.
I don't see how any of that is a reason to dislike someone who's essentially a stranger on an online forum. Yes, he was phony but at least it was funny (I suppose that's the part up for debate). The fact of the matter is his presence here, to me, was completely arbitrary, neither good nor bad, but there was at least a slight relief of humor, fake or forced or whatever the hell it was or sincere is inconsequential. But, oh well. The chips fell and he got kicked out. I don't think Bruce or I are defending him personally, just the idea that wackiness is a good thing whether the bearer of it is a douche or not.
Ok. I know you guys aren't really standing behind him. What I meant by "defending" is the notion that at least he was funny.

I'm saying, NOHEWASN'T!

True, but at least he was trying to be wacky. Something to detract from the ordinary, even if he was a douche sandwich.

Like, I understand the concept behind kicking people off the board, but I don't agree with it. Everyone here basically agrees with each other all the time. We need a, uh, a wild card. Or a monthly quota mandating every board member attempt to interject something silly into their posts a required minimum number of times. [none]
Yeah, um, we still have phe de and DA.
Too bad I don't have much to say on this subject.

I disliked gogo intensely because at first I thought he was sincere and found out he just liked provoking people.

That being said. This board has become somewhat lacking in diversity. It's nice and cozy but not exciting.

I thought the idea was for the VIP to be nice and cozy and personal and the rest of the board could go as crazy as it wanted but I was in the minority in that :(. That's ok though but that's why I started posting over there again needed more interaction.

Dork got a serious woman at his side now. He also got serious about some stupid teaching career move and stuff too. Trying to be all that or something craycray. [eyes]

I told him that not everyone can be a winner like me so he should accept himself as he is and he TOTALLY ignored my advice and is still with dat woman and is still teaching the future leaders of our country. Some people have no shame.

And fuck Gogo. In the beginning I attempted to read his crap here and there but gave up pretty quickly. I couldn't STAND him as I thought he was completely trolling with his "wacky" posts as they felt so forced to me. I hope him, Marv, Vegas, and Dean have a nice long happy marriage together with each other.

Articulating what it is I couldn't stand about gogo's personality has also made me realize why I couldn't stand Robin William's(RIP) standup. I love William's in movies, but his style of standup was ridiculous to me. It just came across as empty, desperate attention-seeking. Same reason I don't like Jim Carrey's standup(though I do kinda have a love/hate relationship with Carrey).

He announced he was getting married like 3 boards ago. Last summer he showed up to tell us all how great his life was, being married to a kinky fetishist and teaching a bunch of unruly teenagers.

Going through some of Dork's posts on reddit, I'm glad he's able to easily do what I often have trouble with - not responding to really stupid comments/arguments. I'm getting better at it, but he doesn't even need to try!

Looks like there has been some history revisionism going on here, with some people operating under the idea that gogo wasn't an awful person but just a little annoying or something.

The issue wasn't that gogo was a bit grating (although he was) or that he disagreed (although he was often wrong). The issue was that he outright lied, constantly, presenting anecdotes that just so happened to go against the board consensus with a hint of misogyny and general bitterness about sex. When called out on his bullshit, he would swither between mockery (never actually really denying he was lying), claiming he was devil-advocating even though there's a difference between presenting alternative views and lying to troll people, and playing the victim. This was before anything else, and should be remembered: he's not just an annoying sack of shit, but a fucking women-hating liar too.

On top of that he had a mean streak, going as far as to call me a rapist on boards I didn't even frequent. Like Castor I'd occasionally stumble on him and have a quick check of his history - every post he made was some lie or "is it just me or [ALL WOMEN ARE SLUTS]" shit then finish off every post with "Hi OGL!", and when people asked he'd say he's a guy that raped someone.

I haven't raped anyone btw guys.

I agree with most of this, except I don't love Robin Williams in movies. He's usually just as annoying on screen.

Gogo was still funny though.

Yeah... I'm barely exaggerating when I say gogo is the type of motherfucker that would go on a shooting spree. Dude tries to disguise his racism, sexism and general unjustified misanthropic, conservative attitudes in all this empty "wackiness"...but it's fucking transparent. He honestly comes across to me as a deeply disgruntled individual with some kind of personality disorder. I was trolling him when I implied he was some kind of narcissist or sociopath (when he was being a racist piece of shit)....but I was honestly only half-kidding.

Re: Look who I ran into

I don't think he is a narcissist. Those people are creepy ass motherfuckers. Gogo did have some kind of empathy, he once sent me a pm apologizing and thanking me for something, out of nowhere. If people haven't killed that board out of nowhere, I'd still have all those juicy pm's. [none]

Not that I'm still bitter about it. [none] I'm not, I promise. [none]

I think one can have empathy and be a narcissist (well, at least perform empathy).

The guy that just went on a shooting spree apparently warned his "friends" about not going to school if they were in the area.

I guess it depends since narcissism is a spectrum, they rationalize empathy in a very different way, it's creepy. But I don't know, he doesn't give me that vibe. He mostly was just a dishonest attention seeking troll.

Maybe. But even if he's just a dishonest, attention-seeking troll, there's just this disturbing anti-social attitude those types share with people that do shit like this. You can tell they really hate people.

I've always thought that internet trolls were somewhat psychopathic anyway.

I feel like Liszt is mixing up narcissism and sociopathism. Narcissists think that they are way more important than they really are; that they are better than other people. But they don't necessarily lack empathy.

Narcissism is a disorder that manifests with sociopathism and psychopathism. I read a lot of that shit after being stalked by a psychopath for two years.
