Another huge red flag are posters who go into feud mode at the first sign of being challenged. Often they are so prickly because deep inside part of them assumes that the person "condemning" them can see past the mask that they hold up for the world to see and they become incredibly invested in making sure that no one else listens to their "accuser."

Case in point! This monkey has made a career here at boychat of hijacking threads. He's been doing that since long before tpka "Tyred" got on his case about it. Those who have watched monkey over time have noticed that he often picks out one inconsequential aspect of a BCer's post to challenge, completely missing the main point of the OP. Often the OP will try to reply to monkey's challenge, taking monkey's bait. Then predictably monkey will refuse to accept the OP's explanation and demand that they expound upon why monkey should accept their claim. In this way monkey anoints himself as debate judge, repeatedly rejecting the person's claims as if on high.

Every additional attempt by the OP to explain their position is met by monkey not accepting their claim and/or moving the goalposts with the end goal of manipulating the OP into a long drawn out "debate" with themselves, where monkey attempts to manipulate them into defending their position from different angles, usually without monkey sharing his own opinion/claims/beliefs.

Quite a number of BCers fell for monkey's thread hijacks before BC's unofficial Official Troll Wrangler came on the scene and noticed how time after time monkey would do the same thing to different people. A group of us got together and worked out a technique to deal with monkey which consisted of:

1) Giving one response at most to monkeyLostInHead, thereby preventing him from drawing them into long drawn out back and forth discussion on inconsequential side issues, not pertinent to their OP.

2) Recognizing monkey's "questions" as what they were: veiled statements. For example when monkey says something like, "Do you believe that mothers breastfeeding their children is sexual molestation?" he's actually saying, "Adult/child touching resulting in sexual gratification is not necessarily sexual molestation," leaving it to his debate opponent to untwist his gnarled logic, and at the same time avoiding putting his own claims out there, where he might be asked to defend them. This is why many BCers, while open to discussion and taking questions in general, refuse to answer monkey's bait questions.

After our collective recognition of monkey's troll pattern, the number of BCers falling for his bait fell drastically with quite a few different people from all different backgrounds coming together to inform him that they would not allow him to sideline their discussions. Being repeatedly called out by different people seemed to have made monkey very angry, because from that point on he has made it his goal in life to get his revenge on tpka "Tyred." This is why you see him repeatedly attempting to hijack threads/comments by the object of his obsession.

Now its been over a year since BC collectively stopped falling for monkey's troll bait and some have forgotten/never learned how his modus operandi works. This is why BC's unofficial Official Troll Wrangler gives him enough rope to hang himself in threads like those you can find on ycdtobc, showing in a way that is plain for all to see, what monkey's goal is with these long back and forth conversations. He's not looking for truth or to come to an understanding. In his petty little mind getting the last word in on a conversation means he "wins."

Linked below is one of monkey's typical thread hijacks. Notice Mark's comment towards the bottom. "all of this back-and-forth replying isn't really of value to anyone reading." This coming from someone who has referred to monkey as his "troll model" (trolling roll model), but eventually realized the pointlessness of these petty last word battles.
