Everyone knows BALL is a LUNATIC so...

I agree with you. We should just not reply his posts and just go on to the ones that are helpful and sincere. Also the idea about registering is good, it will keep out the nut cases. I for one will not be answering or arguing with him but will IGNORE him/her.

Ball is an evil genius. We cannot defeat him. We are too feable minded and too hormonally challenged to compete with him. We are too ignorant to discuss the facts rationally. We need to go back to doing what we do best PMSing.

Love it!
This will either make him give up, drive him to drink, or get him back on his meds. Even if he continues to post, just think of all the precious time he is wasting trying to annoy people who aren’t even reading or paying attention to him. In any case, we win.

I wouldnt even point out the impersonating as in “now Ball is Space Alien” type posts-TOTALLY, TOTALLY ignore

It may leave some bad impressions on the new folks but it beats losing everyone on the board

I think we should still keep reporting him though. He takes up too much space and good threads end up aged-out. I also can’t let him beat up on a new person. That single mom vanished after his abuse. Maybe just a quick warning to the new person on the site but nothing more involved than “ignore this guy”. What do you guys think?

Absolutely Terry - report him and go on. He’s just going to be talking to himself. That should get old after a while. :o)

He’s even responding to himself now because no one else will. Hilarious!

It’s helpful when we find his messages to flag it so that we can know at a glance to skip it, like what was done for British Research. He has so many aliases it’s not always easy to tell and there’s no point in everyone wasting their time.

Ditto. We don’t understand the stuff he posts anyway. All that scientific mumbo jumbo and such but what about the newbies? They will read his cut and pasted reports and articles and will end up thinking that medicating kids is a bad thing.

How do we stop that?

The moderators of this board have been EXCELLENT about purging Ball’s ridiculous posts and posts where he is impersonating someone. Great job and keep on reporting him!!

I for one don’t need to read anything about the dangers of giving kids Ritalin. His posts make me very uncomfortable. Like the rest of you I prefer to remain ignorant.

As I have previously stated, the commencement and increase of this kind of grotesque, maniacal violence in our schools is date coincident with the introduction and use of mind-altering drugs by our children.These graphs show the alarming increase in the production of Ritalin from 1985 to 1995 as well as the number of ADD/ADHD diagnoses from 1988 to 1997. Bearing these in mind, consider the events of the last two years alone:

1. On May 25, 1997, 18-year-old Jeremy Strohmeyer raped and murdered a 7-year-old African American girl in Las Vegas, Nevada. Strohmeyer had been diagnosed with ADD and prescribed Dexedrine, a Ritalin-like drug, immediately prior to the killing.

2. On October 1st, 1997, in Pearl Mississippi, 16-year-old Luke Woodham stabbed his mother, 50-year-old Mary Woodam, to death and then went to his high school where he shot nine people - killing two teenage girls and wounding seven others. Published reports say he was on Prozac.

3. Exactly two months later on Dec 1, 1997, Michael Carneal, a 14-year-old, opened fire on students at a high school prayer meeting in West Paducah, Kentucky. Three teenagers were killed, five others were wounded, one of whom was paralyzed. Carneal was reportedly on Ritalin.

4. Then in February, 1998 a young man in Huntsville, Alabama, while on Ritalin went psychotic - chopping up his parents with an ax and also killing one sibling and almost murdering another.

5. On March 24, 1998 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, 11-year-old Andrew Golden and 14-year-old Mitchell Johnson shot 15 people killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others. According to one report, the boys were believed to be on Ritilan.

6. Two months later another grisly school massacre occurred. On May 21, 1998 15-year-old Kip Kinkel of Springfield, Oregon murdered his parents and proceeded to his high school where he went on a rampage killing two students and wounding 22 others. Kinkel had been prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin.

7. On April 16th, 1999, 15-year-old Shawn Cooper of Notus, Idaho took a 12-guage shot gun to school and started firing, injuring one student and holding the school hostage for about 20 minutes. Terrified students ran for their lives, some barricading themselves in classrooms. Cooper had been taking Ritalin when he fired the shotgun’s rounds.

8. The incident in Idaho did not make the national press (no one, thank God, was killed). But all that changed four days later when 18-year-old Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School before killing himself. Harris was on one of the SSRI anti-depressants called Luvox.

9. One month later to the day, on May 20th of this year TJ Solomon, a 15-year-old high school student in Conyers, Georgia, while on Ritalin opened fire on and wounded six of his classmates. Thankfully, none were killed.

10. Then there’s 14-year-old Rod Mathews who had been prescribed Ritalin since the third grade and beat a classmate to death with a bat.

And 19-year-old James Wilson who had been on psychiatric drugs for 5 years and took a .22 caliber revolver into an elementary school in Greenwood, South Carolina killing two young girls, and wounding seven other children and two teachers!
