CK has a capacity to be an arse that few can even approach - he truly is a master of his art. Yet, as with most, he does it purely to get a rise.

Greeting him with a fairly unanimous chorus of 'Oh, its you - you act like a ****. Dont act like a **** here or we'll all get really pissed off' is incredibly unlikely to engender the sort of response you're looking for.

Treat him like any other new member- with a warm welcome and a friendly tone. If he then turns round and throws it back in your face by acting like a tit, stomp on him.

I see his point, but isn't it wrong to tar others with the same brush? Just because CK trod on some toes and annoyed some people, doesn't mean the other newbies should be automatically seen like him.

This forum has a very unique dynamic. I know that CK trolls for a bite, but quite frankly is that sort of person going to contribute to this community in a positive way?

Who knows?

Not you, not I. And, given that serotonin is an ugly word in CK's world, probably not even he knows. SO why not wait and see?

If you'll look I've not once tarred anyone else with CKs brush.. I'm just making the point that someone has come in trod on toes, then his mates have come along.. as unprejudiced as I try to be CKs behaviour is bound to colour my perceptions a little bit.

Why should anyone have to indulge him though?

Because as yet he's done nothing wrong (on BD, at least).
