Boycott Vlad
Provocateur | Define Provocateur
noun, plural pro·vo·ca·teurs . 1. a person who provokes trouble, causes dissension, or the like; agitator. 2. ( italics ) French. agent provocateur
In a nutshell Vlad draws off of reactions to his taunts, and barbs. It is time to boycott his journals, and the best way to do this is to view them while logged out. This way he doesn't get the satisfaction of numbers of views. Another possible way is when he post something, I will copy and paste it into my journal and people can comment on it so that he can finally see what people have to say to him.
VR Don't Sell Your Integrity!
Vlad, as we all know has once again blatantly gained another premium account. And he set about the same practice of mockery as his other profile/s are used for.
I offer this thread as a sounding board. An open letter to Vlad (since he isolates, and insulates himself through blocking any critical review. It is also a vehicle to address staff.
So is his money worth the site being so openly disrespected, and mocked?
When is enough enough?
COMMENTS
Well, both his accounts are in Hell Coven. He has no say in the matter. He either Sires out, deletes or dies. Frankly, I do not care which.
He is insulting the spirit of the site!
Eh, have no fear...I am sure he will screw up real soon. As Images stated previously, having a paid account doesn't mean you can throw away the rules and do as you please...Give it time, cause he isn't smart enough to behave nor is his gray matter capable of doing anything more than being the bitch of VR. You all know this..He is a joke. Nothing more, nothing less.
He is just flipping the whole site off! Pissing all over it!
They just need to pull the plug on him. Starting with Suspending his journal again. Or his profile, until he edits the content in regards to VRs ToS on flaming.
I would also add that the childish antics of people like Vlad make people like me come around here less frequently.
He is an Agent Provocateur, as the French would say.

Liars use long introductions but skip over main events. When a liar wants to build credibility, she will pad her story with as much factual content as possible. The Israeli researcher Avinoam Sapir found that deceptive individuals will add more detail around the prologue of a story, but gloss over the main event where the deception comes into play. Careful listeners can pick up on this lopsided storytelling style and use the BASIC method to zero in on the missing details with specific questions.

Hmm...very interesting.
There is also the whole realm of micro expressions and body language in general. A simple example is the shift of the gaze. Down and to the right is the trickiest one in my opinion since an interanl dialogue can mean anything from how to best word the truth to "how to get out of this mess." Not even close to 100% reliable but it's certainly better than a coin toss in my opinion.
