Dear all,
We have been suffering a long standing problem with a member of the forums called Xavier.
Xavier is an exceptionally intelligent man. However he has an attitude problem that, quite simply, sucks.
He seems to think that the only way is his way and he is completely intolerant of anyone who thinks differently to him.
He flips between Mr Nice and Nr Nasty at the drop of a hat and is completely intolerant of any criticism or advice, and believes everyone else here is stupid and beneath his intelligence.
The management team here have tried exceptionally hard over a long period to try and work with Xavier as he has many talents that would be invaluable to us all.
Unfortunately Xavier seems to think that we have tried to prevent him from working with us. He has made a large number of completely unfounded accusations against a number of the team.
There is an accepted way of doing things round here, and for good reasons that have been proven over a long period of time. None of us are against change if that change is positive, and of benefit to all. Xavier does not want to fit in with that, but equally has no suggestions on a better way of doing things.
Ultimately he has resorted to emailing personally to members of the team in unacceptably abusive terms. Some of his language is absolutely disgusting.
**No one** here deserves that.
Instead of blocking him outright on the formus - he would probably just create yet another account using an acronym and via a proxy to try and disguise himself - we had resorted to moderating all his posts prior to there being posted. He only has himself to blame for this but can't accept that.
The abuse has continued with today another unpublishable post and a member receiving undeserved, inflammatory, and down right rude comments.
We are no longer prepared to tolerate this behaviour and will therefore take all reasonable steps to monitor and block Xavier from posting. This is not easy as he can easily forge a new account. But we will be looking out for him.
If he is prepared to grow up and behave himself then we are always prepared to listen and discuss accordingly. An apology won't go amiss though.
I cannot ever remember having to take this kind of action before, but equally have never seen this level of abuse before. All the team here are volunteers and NONE of them deserve anything but your praise and thanks.
I hope you understand our position and the unprecedented actions we are taking.
Please ask if you have any queries.
