Speaking of B&C idiocy....
I just read a post in the Black Templars section where a "vet" was explaining to a "newb" that the Black Templars are hard to learn, so hard in fact, that their learning curve is longer than Dark Eldar!
Yea, real hard to load up on 20 man squads, the special character grimaldus, and then DARE your opponent to shoot you.

Sadly, they have a cool new minis carrying case (larger than an AT, but not so much as to be unwieldy). Yet it has the 'tramp stamp' of the B&C on the side. That's gotta be like showing up for the Boston Marathon with your Special Olympics athletic bag, or something...

There is no limit to their idiocy. Any sub forum you go to you can click randomly on 3 topics and at least one will be something utterly cretinous. One dildo was going on about inventing his own chaos god based on the plant from The Little Shop of Horrors. He was even going to call it Audrey.

Hey, at least they can disgorge their pathetic deriviative ideas in a nice online forum, where 1) other mouthbreathers can be supportive (in hope that their own purile fanfic will be at least as well recieved), and 2) anonymous mean people can post nasty venomous flames about what stupid 'tardy tards they are, and 3) if they can get it out of their system online, maybe we won't have to listen to their shit in the store.
There are a couple of people who hang out at my FLGS because they are so totally lacking in social skills, they are no longer welcome even in the Society for Creative Anachronism, even if they brought beer. Even if they brought free hookers and beer. You go into the store, and if you see them, you make an evade check and vamoose. You feel like a heel, because you are abandoning your friend the store owner to yet more uninterrupted hours of how cool their last D&D character was, or how they are using the new Citadel Catalog to buy bits (online!) to convert their 10,000 points of Imperial Guard into this really cool Wehrmacht-themed army, but hey- the store owner is basically getting paid to listen to that verbal drool, and you aren't, and the last time you got trapped there you almost failed your saving throw against smashing the wittol's face into the tabletop.

It's funny how social mores work. A few years back, when one of our FLGS's had in-store gaming, I convinced a guy that Warhammer was definitely not for him, and got him to leave the store. Wasn't too subtle about it either, and the other people there (even the employees) were rather relieved.
You CAN make those people leave, you know. Just takes some balls.
(As an aside, I'm particularly unsupportive of un-social, annoying dorks like that because I almost became one; it was only through force of will that I learned how to be social, and that was mostly so I could touch boobies.)

We had one we don't even know the guys name we simply refer to him as chatty. He just showed up one day and started chatting away about how he is really great at 40K even though he has never played because he plays DoW at home. Someone loaned him a Space marine army and he was utter trounced by kroot Mercinaries of all things. He then got mad and blamed the guy whose army he had borrowed since he was the greatest player ever. Occasionally he goes over and bothers the more transitory gamers who play Battletech or Pirates at the store. One of the funniest things he did was walking around being an art critic on paint jobs managing to piss off several tournment goers who traveled 2 hours to play.
Everyone hates him, he never buys anything from the store and talks about how he is going to order things off the intraweb even though he does not have a computer. We also had to stop our usual paint nights for fear he would find out were one of us lived and show up. Nothing has worked telling him we hate him, to fuck off, kill himself, and ignoreing him altogether has not stopped him. If anyone has any ideas outside of killing them let me know.

Restraining order? Slashing his tires? The store could just say that he's not welcome, and ask him to leave else they call the police every time he comes in. Sooner or later he'll take the hint (you'd think)

Sooner or later he'll take the hint (you'd think) His mother drops him off (he's in his late 20's) so slashing his tires will not work. Did I mention he told us his mother still spanks him? Oh, he is also a Vampire LARPer exept all the other LARPers hate him.

I know that guy! No I don't. I feel sorry for you guys having to put up woth that crapola. If even the other LARPers hate him... that dude is some kind of pathetic. If you want to get rid of him, involve him in everything you can. He'll suck at it and then when he finds that he's not able to 'have fun' or 'win' in these endeavors he may wander off to new lands where his idiocy isn't tested as strenuously.
I met a WM player the other week who's almost as insufferable as the the guy you mention but he's good at the game and a decent painter... he seems well meaning enough though.
