T-Jack, since so many people dislike him, it would be a bad choice for Lowell to fuel their hate. Since he's not a troll, that's kind of the antithesis (heh, antithesis) of joining a forum. Why would you make so many people hate you if you just want to be a good forum member? Void Mage is just ignoring derogatory comments. A good way to make them go away would be to start being awesome, but at least he's not posting so much anymore.
Please go back to wishing people a happy birthday as I do not wish to start a flamewar.
