Here we are, a three page post all about Guido. He is eating up every minute of it because he’s getting the attention he’s been seeking for years. Makes him feel very important.
He has been much better as far as the negative, antagonistic, and belittling comments now that SF has castrated him. SF has done his job. At this point it’s probably just giving Guido attention. Guido says he has SF on ignore but he’s full of ****. He may use the ignore function but his ego won’t let him keep it on. He hits refresh over and over to make sure he is the topic of conversation so he can prop up his self esteem. If it were me I would wait until Guido slips up and then start calling him out on it immediately.
And I agree with the sentiment that what SF does is just a very small dose of the crap we all have had to endure from Guido for years.

If I wasn't well-versed with people with NPD I might feel sorry for him, but that's a waste of time - he has no soul. He lives in a fake world made up by him to suit his own self, everyone else be damned. Any decency he may display is purely to feed his own ego. That's why he saddles up next to anyone who offers him a bone and tries to make 'allies' on the internet pitting one against the other - a passive-aggressive proxy fight. He will tell you exactly what you want to hear if he thinks it will help him, and when he's challenged in any way he becomes the protagonist in his own little play in his warped head. What's amazing about NPD is that even though he's confronted with the very thing he denies, right in front of his face on his computer, he STILL can't see it.

Any bs "apology" is a means to a narcissistic end. The limited support he's been getting is like pouring fuel on the fire, and even in those cases it is acknowledged by those people that he "rubs people the wrong way", which is a gross understatement. And still he can't stop.

He will sign his own death warrant in time so long as the pressure continues to be applied, but he will likely never see his own issues. Stopping now would only give him the sensation that he's weathered the storm and empower him to return to his old behavior. That's how he sees himself as "winning", and he must win. To him its like a drug.

He claims to love this place, but clearly he loves himself more. N.P.D.

I don't know who you are speedo, but I know WHAT you are little man, and you know I know, and it's driving you crazy ain't it? Good.

Hillary was right after all. It takes a village. Bleh...now I've gotta go wash my mouth out with soap...

The difference I see in the current iteration is threefold. First is that saintfan goes after each and every post Guido puts up. Sometimes multiple posts as followup to a Guido post. Second each and every one is a personal attack at this point. And finally while each seems to be with the intent of driving Guido off the board, it isn't working. And it's not working because Guido has put saintfan on ignore, as many of the others of us has.

At this point it's just an annoyance with no purpose other than saintfan having this "scorched earth" campaign.

Can you point me to a current thread where Guido is "hostile towards people for the crime of having an opinion"? I've seen previous threads where Guido has gone "La-La-La I'm the Saints sunshine man". But I don't recall seeing this recently.

I really feel this is just a situation where a poster just talks a whole bunch and it irritates some people. But what is going on now isn't a solution. Which is why quite a few of us are calling for a stop to the shenanigans.

I've actually been taking saintfan off ignore here to read what he's been writing. I understand his frustration. But personally attacking each and every post in each and every thread isn't getting this situation anywhere.

Let's hope he keeps that wiring directed toward opponents rather than teammates (ie. Michael Thomas). Apparently that's all cool now and I believe he learned his lesson. I suspect the clubhouse leaders may have tinkered with his wiring a bit over that.

Thomas was suspended for that altercation, not Ceedy. Brees was quoted as saying about Thomas, “ We had an incident, and Sean (Payton) addressed it. And many of the leaders have spoken with Mike as well.”

I know you always rush to defend CGM and have no problem with how he “handled” his injury, but it Sounds like Thomas had his wiring screwed up over that incident, not Ceedy. Of course Guido blocks me so he won’t see this reply! 😂

Thomas definitely reacted badly and was at blame, as well. Nobody is refuting that. I never said that Thomas wasn't at fault. That doesn't change the fact that he was provoked by Ceedy just as Ceedy provokes opponents. I have no doubt that was addressed internally. That's all I was referring to. I love Ceedy and his style.

This is why I blocked Boston. Always trying to make something out of nothing. Sheesh!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH HIM:

I don't even remember what the thread was about but I dared to play "Devil's Advocate" and offer an alternative take. I was chastised by him on the forum as well as in a personal message( containing many backhanded compliments) for "Not considering my audience" and how the casual fan who should stumble on my response would take it as the "TRUTH". In spite of the fact that his favorite XM Show Moving The Chains hosts Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller routinely play devil's advocate. My response to that was anyone who takes anything posted here as the truth without doing their own research should turn in their Fan Card.

In other posts he babbled on about how he couldn't remember the last time he was wrong. Using his own posts I tried to show him the error of his ways. For my trouble all I got was the eye roll and his diagnoses that I was mentally ill.

He's as clever as he is annoying notice the disclaimer about an incoming coach keeping the existing defensive coordinator. "To my knowledge no incoming head coach has kept the DC from the previous staff." A quick Google search would have helped his remark. I live in Indy now and know all it took was look no further than Frank Reich HC of the Colts who was hired after Josh McDaniels left them at the altar. McDaniels had hired three coaches. The DC Matt Eberflus now Bears Head Coach as well as the other two were kept by Reich. Yet other members comment on his supplying so much informative information?

It's arrogance like that which has gotten under the skin of so many. He is this forums version of Whack A Mole, you can land your shots but he keeps POPPING UP AND OFF.

Until YOU are the victim of one of his attacks you can't understand the frustration he can generate.

He may very well be a "nice guy" in person but that doesn't justify his actions on this forum.

Mr. Know It All doesn't and when he knows he doesn't he'll never admit it.

It may not be a “Current thread” but here is an example from a
couple weeks ago.

On Jan 13th of this year, K Major made the following post about CGJ:

“Ceedy is wired differently. Flat out dawg. Hope he remains a Saint for a long time.”

Guido follows up with:



So, I point out about their altercation:



To which He responds through KMajor:




So, I don’t consider pointing out what I did “making something out of nothing”. If ANY other user would have said what Guido did I would hame made the same reply (minus the blocking me bit). And their response (if any) would likely have been something like “That’s true” or “Good point”. Instead Guido attacks me.

I'm starting to wonder if we're all going to have to leave and let them have it. It's clear that neither is planning on changing behavior to the point where this will stop.

I'm confused by the fact that saintfan is charging NPD, but is exhibiting behavior that actually feeds that disorder. Typically, the way to get to a narcissist is to not engage with them. So, I ask again what's the point.

I taught all my children that you can't change other people's behavior, only your response to it. I just don't see this barrage having any effect on Guido, while clearly it's affecting the rest of denizens on the site.

What's the end game here? Because saintfan has stated he wants peace. And it looks like that peace only exists for him with Guido gone. And Guido isn't going anywhere.

Given that, how do we put an end to this?
