View Full Version : The bumbling sniper

Ok, I'm tired of the id10t sniper. I'm tired of his nonsensical questions. It's fairly obvious that the either has diminished mental faculties, or the more likely he's just a troll and is getting off on annoying people. Honestly can we all agree to just ignore anything that he posts. I think he'll get bored if he doesnt get replied to and move on to another forum and annoy other people. This is very much a prisoners dilemma situation, we need everyone working together and agreeing or it will all fall apart. What do we say ladies and gentlemen?

It's not only the questions, but a multitude of things. Between his different averages and self absorption. he's like finger nails on a chalk board.

But my bowling balls do not have any holes at all. That is pretty impressive not even a thumb hole

Here's another quote of yours:
should i ask the director to fit the fingers to the bowlers (buy new balls or borrow mine) or will it not help the bowlers. they use house balls
How can they borrow yours if they don't have any holes!?
Not everybody bowls like you, and quite honestly I don't know of anybody than has any sense that would!

Learn how to bowl 1 or 2 handed and stop just chucking a ball down the lane. Use some sense with your questions and answers. Then you would be fine.

My,my, we're being a little cheeky aren't we guys/gals towards
another board member. Yeah he might be aggravating with his
post but I mean still......he is one of our members are we going
to be like some of the other forms and make fun of some newby
bowlers questions???????
That is why I liked being here in this forum as it used to be a great
place but it seems like here lately people are really getting down on
others and making fun of them for no reasons other than posting some
crazy questions.
I say if you don't want to read and answer his/their question(s) then
just ignore them but... I kind of find his questions quite amusing.

it's one thing when a new bowler asks questions and takes into consideration the suggestions that are given. But it's obvious he's trolling us and getting his giggles on our reactions. The worst thing about it is the fact that he is trying to help other people who are trying to learn and get better and he is doing everyone a disservice.

And when he gets called out on something, he has no response! He can't back up a thing he says!

Here is a good idea lets build a wall and not let people speak who disagree with us. What do you people do for fun? If someone posts something outrageous say so don't tell them to go away. Some day they might say something brilliant. Until then have some fun with it.

You and I have had our share of disagreements with each other, and on the rare occasion we do agree on something.
But, the bigger issue with this guy is when we do call him out, there is no response or justification from him to support his statements. His credibility has gone well below zero.
His lying keeps getting him further into a hole, especially when it comes to his bowling scores. I looked at his 3 posts yesterday on his scores, and his claims of how good he thinks he is is nowhere near what he has claimed in the past.
Most reasonable people would have taken some of the suggestions we have said to him to heart and not get outlandish with his claims. But since he hasn't, I think most of us agree there are 2 possible issues with him. 1) He's mentally challenged. 2) He's a troll. Maybe both.
It has gotten to the point of where many people here have grown a bit testy over time, and you can see it in their posts. And while we all might get a tad testy on the rare occasion, it continues to grow towards him.
And while you could be correct where he could come up with something brilliant, I and many others here don't see how that's going to happen anytime in the near future.

Here's my opinion on the sniper. He's a troll and adds nothing to the conversation here. I would support him more if he were at least funny unfortunately we can't even read it for comedy value. I don't respond to his posts on most occasions. That said he's not attacking anyone or really causing problems so I can't support kicking him. Warning to sniper at least be funny or I might change my mind. lol

I like to go to the profile page and look at view profile page. Many don't give any info many give a lot. When you don't give much your opinion weighs less. One I noticed was a bowler who said his avg. was 216 yet his high series was 660 and high game was 258. Sounded fishy maybe he just punched in the wrong stats. Other experts have unimpressive stats. Just remember the old saying those who can do, those who can't coach. Not a rule but sometimes true.

THIS - someday I may post something brilliant, until then, deal with me - probably the only female sort of participating on these boards.
On the other issue, I agree his posts are somewhat annoying - mostly because they don't make sense. I always tend to bypass those. And then on some of the posts, I start to respond and then....shake my head, erase the post, and go forward - not that much time on my hands. Don't see much reason to ban. He'll lose interest and move on shortly.

Asperger's is not an excuse to throw out outrageous claims, and just ignore everyone who tries to help you. And then potentially mess up other people who are trying to get better by giving them bad advice. And i'm fairly certain that if you did in fact have Asperger's you would at least know how to spell your own affliction correctly. Therefore I call BS on that statement too.

The Ignore function on a forum is aptly named, it's the main thing ignored by the users on any forum.
Because whether they admit it or not, User's have too know what was said.
Not knowing what was said bothers them more than knowing what was said.

Just remember the old saying those who can do, those who can't coach. Not a rule but sometimes true.
While those stats do seem a little off, I am reminded of the stats of one of the guys on my team, after 36 games he was averaging 203 with a high game of 218, now that's staying consistent. He finally busted out of that and shot a couple of 250 260 games last week.
Ignore whom :)
Why would you not enjoy posts similar to this :
My bowling ball has 6 extra holes in and I filled them with silly putty, it keeps falling out, how do I get it to stay in ? Super glue ?

It's how you phrase things not necessarily what your trying to get across. You post "I bowled really great tonight I shot 190" you'll get a lot of congrats even from the people on here that you've annoyed. You post that you threw 190 now your ready to challenge the other bowlers here who average that or quite a bit more your going to get a more negative response. Even if you averaged 190 you post that your ready for a PBA card unless you make a serious reference to the fact that your being sarcastic your going to get it thrown back at you.
Nice game on the 190 by the way
