I presume you realize the irony in somebody slinging insults so haphazardly trying to convince other people that they should be ashamed. My presumption is based on the fact that _of course_ you realize it; you’re just trolling. ---

Well, you just aren’t very bright are you? You’ve heard of something called cause and effect? Action/reaction? Put your little mind to use and figure out what posts are causes and what posts are effects. When I _respond_ to folks and their elementary school insults that’s an effect… Now, I know you think you are witty and are demonstrating masterful wordplay. You’re not. It’s amateur and sort of boring. So, please, if you aren’t here to help at least be somewhat creative. ---

> [@Chisquirrel](#): > > Cause: OP, mocking someone who has been suspended > > Effect: An entire thread calling the OP an asshole The suspension is irrelevant, fool. The behavior that led to the suspension is relevant. He could have posted that exact, well mostly exact, dishonest and nutty post down here in the pit and it would have been perfectly fine. The fact that he didn’t because he’s entitled to act like an ass because he’s oh so mad about the socks and the misogynies! is indicative of an unhealthy mind. Look, no one needs to take octopus’s advice. That’s fine. I’m married. I’m used to being ignored when I mansplain. 🙂 I just wonder what it’s like going through life as an overly emotional, fragile, perpetually offended, professional victim. Isn’t it exhausting ranting and raving at the whole world? ---

You don’t understand different rules for different threads or forums? And what does this have to do with conservative posters being banned due to bias? ---

Octopus, serious question if I may? Is your real name Martin (or Marty)? Because your writing style and the shit you post reminds me very much of someone I am familiar with, with the name above. And in the spirit of the thread, fuck off troll. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > That’s stalking! > > And off topic and very dishonest. Shame! - Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. - [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/friendly-advice-for-drunky/844618.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/friendly-advice-for-drunky/844618.md?page=3)
