Hey guys, the turtle comes here to waste his own time, not to have you waste time for him.
Clothahump - did you miss this one?
Address.
Y’know, as I was writing out my little aside to **Same Bill **and Gyrate, I thought to myself “I wonder if Clothahump will make some half-hearted response to *this *post, instead of the one I made directly to him?”
It was right there, just one post above. Had your name on it and all.
Summed up the whole point of this thread.
Not worth your time?
NC, it’s admirable how much you’re willing to accommodate Cloth by presenting him with detailed algorithms, but it’s way too much text to parse through. It’s like you adapted the Turing test for conservatives to see if they’re capable of passion and emotions. He doesn’t want to be the rat navigating your maze.
I tried something similar with doorhinge a while back. He complained about the liberal media not presenting all sides to the story, and I tried to get him to explain how he could think that when there’s practically infinite ways to find all sides of the story courtesy of search engines. He just kept repeating himself. He hinged his door on what he thought was an absolute truth, and had no desire to deviate from the course. To do so would mean giving up his identity. Cloth is the same way.
Inflexibility is strength. At least until the foundations give away.
He is on my ignore list.
Had you asked me all of that up front, you wouldn’t have wasted my time. And I answered this a long time ago: I should not have made the post. Period.
Another self-professed expert on my life chimes in, with another totally incorrect statement.
“I am right, and everyone else is an asshole. Now fuck off. <ignore>”
Ya, this is the sign of a normal person.
Protest, protest, protest, but not one word of correction. Got anything else you’d like to share, Gertrude?
Today I learned: some people are fucking stupid. No, not Clothahump.
What have we learned other than people will post stuff that they shouldn’t on the internet?
Some of you are starting to make me feel sorry for Clothahump. Not the OP, though.
I did. In the OP. At the start.
Also by you:
There’s a possibility you actually think that statement is right, but it’s not. See below.
As I said, back on page 2, when I was trying to get you to acknowledge your responsibility for the backlash you received for your unjustifiable snipe.
But let’s take a look back at how you actually first responded to the questions and points I presented to you, “a long time ago”.
(Bolding and underlining mine.)
That was your first response. Just an off-handed “Mea culpa” and a vague suggestion that your post – while still correct! – was just placed on the wrong shelf.
In fact almost your entire response was just an attempt to justify your statement.
*Nothing *about acknowledging the logic of the posts preceding yours, nor the dishonesty in characterizing all those posters as illogical and belligerent, when (by your own admission) you hadn’t properly read the thread before posting.
*Nothing *about the incorrectness of characterizing CosmicManic’s misogynist rant as “based in logic and fact” (*your *words) or the wrongness of siding with him against Helena330.
Instead, you choose to pick out anything you see as an attack on you and ignore, block, or misread anyone actually offering you a logical argument.
You see only what you want to. (All lies and jests! Still, a man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest. Lie-la lie, lie-la lie, lie, lie. . . )
Let’s look at your second attempt to provide a straight response:
Hey, that looked promising! From “wrong place” to “my statement was wrong”. So, those other posters *weren’t *just being a bunch of dumb liberals? And you were wrong to characterize them as illogical and belligerent? And you were wrong to defend an unjustified misogynist attack on another poster?
Right back to divesting yourself of any responsibility for the way people react to your behavior.
And that’s what you’re doing again with your latest non-response.
Avoiding the real issues put to you with minimal effort.
I surely am wasting time, but not yours.
The best you’ve been able to do here is begrudgingly acknowledge that *maybe *some of the flack you caught was due to your own poor posting behavior (took me five direct posts to get you just to acknowledge that, and you *STILL *had to cage it with self-justification), and then, finally, four pages into this thread, address the OP directly and acknowledge that CosmicManiac (whom you had sided with) was wrong and that the posters you maligned in the original pit thread were actually logical and justified in their responses to CosmicManiac (I had to lay out the points to you upward of seven times to get you to finally address them), and still you had to drop the following disingenuous remark.
That is not a response someone gives if they are interested in honest discussion.
That is a dismissal of everything the other person is presenting to you.
It shows a complete inability or unwillingness to reflect upon anything that has been put to you.
Post 193 is the summarization of the very point of this attempt at discussion with you.
**The point being: if you can acknowledge that your post in the original pit thread was absolutely unjustifiable and that the flack you caught for it was deserved (and I’m not sure you’ve actually admitted this to yourself), then you should try to realize that it’s not just this one instance, but applies to your general behavior on this board and explains why you are held in such low esteem here. **
But if you can’t parse that, then maybe just consider the final question.
This is the question from iiandyiiii:
“Do you similarly think that anyone criticizing someone for using ‘nigger’ or ‘kike’ is ‘whining’, a ‘snowflake’, and should ‘get a life’?”
NC You are one tenacious dude.
You put iiandyiiii on ignore? He’s one of the nicest, most patient posters here! Why do you bother posting here if you ignore people like him? Who’s not on your list?
I made a similar point to him myself, though less succinctly than iiandyiiii.
He didn’t respond.
Ignore is the root of ignorance.
On the remote chance I’m not on his ignore list I’d like cite this as BE apparently is blocked. I’m sure we all want to know this.
Could somebody re-cite this after few days and so on until he answers…
Thank you for the kind words!
