I agree with Bigfish.

I was a big defender of Sam, until I figured out that Sam is deliberately obtuse, Is most likely an alter ego created specifically to wind people up.
Read threads that Sam has posted on before, his spelling and grammer are atrocious, at times coming across as barely literate.

Now go back and read some of his posts on this thread. Quite a difference (even including self deprecating humour in one post).

His posts follow a pattern. Post something, revealing a lack of knowledge in WoW .
In response to every helpful post explaining things, post a response that reveals that you aren't listening to what they are saying,
and if possible add in a bit of arrogance (although the arrogance has been on the backburner somewhat).

The same thing is posted in umpteen different ways and Sam manages not to get it. It annoys people.
Discussion is a two way street - and people get frustrated when they feel they aren't being listened to.

For example in this very thread I try to make the point that all mmorpg games aren't the same.
They are owned by different companies and have different terms of service. He finally seems to get the fact that EVE isn't WoW, then says
but what about EQ. (and to his credit he hooked me, I bit).

This sort of thing was also evident in the Mob tagging thread and those that preceded them.

I for one will never post a direct response to Sam from this point on.
There seems little point in ignoring him - as his posts are often quoted by others.

Now if i can only get rid of this niggling paranoia that Prepared and Sam deathwalker are one and the same and it's all just a big joke
played on us.
