I suggest that we call chaosfactor's bluff. Let's start a thread where we all insult him and dog pile him.
He can either fight back or not. If he fights back he gets dogpiled. If he doesn't then he's a big ****.
I love it when a plan comes together.

This sounds like a great idea to me.
I predict chaos will sit in his pants.
In fact, he probably already has.

Ha ha ha ha ha.
I saw the crybaby melting down over getting dogpiled in other thread. The poor guy might just crack completely and commit himself to the looney bin after this.
Let's go for it.

I checked. His flame board at the Pile of Awesome has gone to ****. Almost no one is posting there.
Those fags get most of their "action", if you want to call it that, in their non-flame forum. And it isn't all that much going on there either.
Boy chaos, you sure did a great job of humiliating yourself.

To find the energy to dogpile chaosfactor, I would need to care and I just don’t care….for all I know he is a Palestinian apologist like Daz. He said the other day he lives near a mosque.
If I were him, I’d move away because you never know when the A-bomb is going to fall on the next mosque….if there are four places on the earth one shouldn’t live next to, then they would have to be
1. an army barracks
2. nuclear power station,
3. a holy building,
4. at sea level without a life jacket when a tidal wave hits.
Any of one those places is a high risk life threatening potential….of course the 6th place not to be would have to be here being dogpiled or TDT where they promise to degrade a person beyond their wildest imaginations.
personally I recommend here

Seven years ago, I had just set out on my own as a freelance designer. I met a potential client at North Park. We sat down at a picnic bench with some sandwiches and he started talking about the project. Within minutes I just knew: the man was an ****.
He talked with his mouth full and had bits on his chin. He made nasty comments about women at nearby tables. When I tried to speak, he interrupted me. When it came to my (way below market value) hourly rate, he haggled. I didn’t like him, but what did I know? Maybe this is just how the freelance design business worked. I took the engagement.
It was, of course, a nightmare. He belittled my work, but offered no guidance. He wanted more and more time, but wouldn’t pay for it. When I finally stopped working because of his outstanding bill, he called me furious in the middle of the night. I got a solicitor.
It took months but my solicitor finally got him to pay his bill. I took his money and used it to have the solicitor to write me a bulletproof contract. I’ve used that for the next two years.
That was my first real freelance design job, and probably my worst, but I learned a lot of valuable lessons from that. Always get some money up front. Always get a signed contract before you start working. Always get a clear picture of what the deliverables are. Always charge what you’re worth.
But the biggest lesson I learned? Don’t work for arseholes.
Nine times out of ten, the first impression someone gives you is exactly who they are. We choose not to see it because we need the money, or we want the situation to be different. But if someone rubs you the wrong way at the first meeting, chances are, it’s only going to get worse and few other seem to have done that around here so it looks like they have ulterior motives and are not genuine posters.
Then 6 mths later I met another potential client at a cafe. We did the usual getting-to-know-you chat in line. When it was our turn to order, she ordered something very complicated, and then sighed and rolled her eyes when the barista repeated it back to confirm. When her coffee came back wrong, she lashed out at the barista in a way that made me and everyone else in earshot turn pink from embarrassment and hide under a paper napkin.
I’d like to say I walked away from that interview right then and there. I didn’t. But I did decide at that moment to turn down the engagement. Baby steps.
It was very intimidating to turn down work, especially in those uncertain economic times. But the months I spent suffering that fool 7 years ago would have been better spent building my portfolio and hustling to find better clients. All the time you spend working for an **** is time you’re not spending to find another engagement that will, in the long run, pay you better, teach you more, and make you happier so instead of wasting time with thieves of bandwidth, you’re better off finding quality posters. So far no one has been that impressive around here.
Nowadays, the only ones I work for are my kids.

I actually thought I treated him fairly well considering I don't know him from a bar of soap.

Unfortunately he didn't treat you fairly.
