Advice needed please guys...
Hi all, those of you who know us know we have a sense of humour and as such love a giggle and a laugh as much as anyone... in the few years we have been on this and other sites we have never fallen out with a single soul (not that we know of lol).
The trouble is this.. in a chat room one person has decided to take a dislike to me/us and has started to bad mouth us to others.. it all started over nothing and chance upon chance has been given to this person to make it right but no it just gets more and more personal. It has been reported to Admin and to several mods etc but still it continues. He is obviously saying the same and probably more to the very same.
I know he is bad mouthing as I have been told by SEVERAL people... if there was a reason for his dislike I could understand but there is none.
I could ignore and leave or as I now know his address etc I could just pay a visit and ask straight out... Would this be a good idea or is there another way to resolve this??
Serious answers please lol... if thats possible.
Thanks in advance

I have...... Tried this and more. It just gets worse and I am being made to look the bad guy.
I'm not happy about it either... I have reported it I have tried asking but nothing but rude comments and snide remarks are being made.
Sorry it upsets but I really want advice on this before I make a choice.. If one other person could say the same as him I would understand... No one but him has an issue.

I really wouldn't advise going to their home - you could land yourself in bother over someone else's perceived behaviour. (I know nothing of this problem so don't know the ins and outs.)
The best thing you can do is rise above it and ignore it as much as you can. Collect screen shots and/ or pm responses for the admin team in order to prove that this person is indeed behaving maliciously and breaking the AUP.
Ask those who are telling you that he has said things if they would be willing to confirm this to the admin.
Hope it helps resolve things but ultimately you're never going to get on with everyone. just be sure that you fdon't put yourself in the firing line if someone else is in the wrong.

don`t go round there mrdr..only add to trouble
think this is the sort of problem for admin to sort out really....but if posting makes you feel better carry on...
I would have to agree with both of Jas' posts.
Mike, I realise that "damage" may be being done while he bad mouths you, but I've always found that in similar circumstances, people will see through the "bad mouthing" and in the end it will say much more about the person doing it than it will about you.
Unless of course it's a so called "long standing, respected member of the forum/chatroom" that may well be defended blindly by others based on a perceived reputation - but even so; Jas' "rise above it" comment is a good one.
More importantly - DO NOT GO VISITING ! ! - Those days are well and truly over.
My advice would be not to pursue the matter here and to find a different room to chat in. Not everyone will get on with everyone else-fact of life.
This thread is in bad taste and is spilling a clash of personalities from the chat room into the forum.

Mike,
Answer this if you would.
Is it a chatroom problem, or is it spilling over to other areas of your enjoyment and participation of the site and/or the lifestyle ?
sorry mike mate...........didnt mean any of it.......and ive only slagged you off to ...3 full chatrooms so i think your exaggerating .........ermmm seriously,...
do not go to his house with your patented mike charm...you`l end up in the nick pmsl,
we had a similar problem in a particular chat room, being slagged off all the time for no reason......behind the back sort of crap..........it`s ended up with the person/s in question being made to look like a fool/s.............if you get an inckling if bad mouthin..then ask em straight.......in full view of the room.............somethin along the lines of....whats your problem ya da yada yada.......weve done nothing to you....etc.......it made us popular and the user in queston unpopular.............same as the gay comment a cpl of weeks ago in chat........everyone wastakin the piss big time...in the end i had people saying.........can we please just leave this now, i think he`s had enough pmsl......<------dunt bother me anyway lol. take care u2 ...see ya 2 mozz
also ........i personally dont think this post is in bad taste.......mike hasnt named or shamed anyone, he just wants advice...........sometimes chat ops are too busy controlling the nutters out there to offer decent help..........except bi welsh of course pmsl, and as for using another chatroom to avoid the bad mouther......i dont agree with this at all, why should a decent person/s like MDR2000 be pushed out of a room that he/they enjoy , because an idiot decides to start a slagging match.......i think mike is a little like me....tries to get on with everyone and has the live and let live attitude.........and is a compleat shock when someone seems to hate you for no reason.............need to think of a decent way of stopping these freaks pmsl ........electrical shocks through the keyboard when they slagg anyone of....what ya think lol
Thanks to the advice given....... I realise its all a bit about nothing but I hate being badmouthed for no reason whatsoever....
I am more than happy for all the bloggs to be posted at anytime and let people make there own choices here... I KNOW I did nothing to offend in anyway and its a purely personal attack... Why I do not know he does not know me...!!
Its childish and its playground stuff but still madening as hell when it happens to you!
