When interacting with @dibblego online it helps not to take him seriously. When he tweets he knows exactly how he'll be interpreted and he doesn't care; he thinks it's your fault for choosing to be offended. He wants you to ban him to prove a point, so by all means…make his day.https://twitter.com/dibblego/status/1087124016488312832 …
You may notice that some people tolerate the abusive things he says, and that's probably because they've met him in person: he's undeniably witty and charming. You'd find it hard not to like him. He might be irritated at me after this thread, but I do enjoy chatting to him a lot.
But my advice is to take him for what he is: a skilled jester with a penchant for bad language and some solid FP advice: you can learn a lot from him, but he'll make you work hard to see past the façade. And in case you're tempted, I would just recommend not rising to his bait.
He and I agreed to differ on his approach. Every community has its outliers whose beliefs fall outside the mainstream and @dibblego is no different. I wish he could see how unpersuasive his arguments are. But he's incorrigible, so you're better off just being insensible to him.
And I'm not trying to defend any of the behavior that gets him banned so often; I'm just offering a coping strategy. If you meet someone who encounters him for the first time, just give them a head-up that he's a unique and curious character, and not to listen to the insults.
Tony: I've given up hoping you'll ever change (and you'll assert I'd be wrong to hope for it, anyway). I do hope, at least, that what I've said above seems sounds fair in the context that I'm trying to make the community appear friendlier. Please call me out if I've been unfair.
You're being way too generous. It's common that people who are jerks on the internet seem to be much kinder offline. But it's 2019 and there's no online/offline anymore. If he has a split personality, he requires immediate help. If he does not, he's just a jerk.
Maybe, but my point is not to change him. I already gave up at that... I'm just saying that other people should not waste any anger, frustration or other emotions on @dibblego. It's not good use of their time. Nobody will gain from it.
