The irony, it burns.

Ah the old cliched false assertion disguised as a question. Stop dodging. You are making it a goal to get rid of me. I’m sure you can do better. Even if it means stepping up your dishonesty.

Yeah, defending myself from liars makes me the “asshole.”

Not posters like:

No. Those are the posters that you have an affinity for.

Ah and a fellow mod (former)

I can and have easily predicted the last few posters to get banned– **Okrahoma** was one of them–and **octopus** is on that list. A few others are, like **HurricanDitka** and **up the junction**. I predict his stay here will not last another full year…if I’m wrong, I will be hugely surprised.

> Prove me wrong. I’d love to see it.

Yeah. That’s definitely “non assholish.” I wonder if that drug addled fool even remembers what triggered that diatribe.

These are the fine upstanding posters in the Pit who are going to correct me and show me the errors of my way. That way I too can be productive member of this board. Wrong!

> [@Nawth\_Chucka](#):

> Sounds to me like you do care. That you keep coming to this board to say stupid shit and then get your dick slapped shows us you care an awful lot about us seeing what you want to say. You care, we’re repelled by you, you care that we are repelled by you. It’s needy and creepy, really.  
> You’re the feral dog that shits on people’s yards even after they’ve turned the hose on it, b/c it just HAS to shit. And every time a person steps out w/ a hose the dog runs up to them for affection; but they’ll always get the hose.

Speaking of wrong. If you are going to strain to use analogies at least try to use analogies that are relevant and accurate.

The better analogy would have to do with defending myself against false statements that due to their frequency take on a life of their own and then being ridiculed for that defense. What you and your cohorts are engaged in is nothing more than victim blaming.

That’s very shameful behavior. Now you know that the tactic in the Pit is to find a target and flood the target with lies and other ad hominem attacks until the attacks become the reality. It’s deceptive and immoral. Yet it’s you all’s standard modus operandi. It’s transparent and obvious but it’s frustratingly effective because of how powerful group think is on this particular forum.

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#):

> None of it. You have not made it clear in any way. You say it’s because you refuse to be bullied online, and then you follow people around bullying them. You are unpopular not for your views but because you’re an asshole. I don’t even know what your views are because you just show up and bitch at people about being members of the Left. If anyone asks you what that means, you do not answer.

> What do you hope to accomplish by being here, on this Board? Do you want to talk to people with a different point of view, and stretch and learn? Cool. There are lots of people willing to do that.
> 
> I think where you drive us all nutty is that you are the biggest hypocrite in the joint. You _deride_ snark. You _hate_ the Pit. You _loathe_ bullying. But here’s the thing: You lead the pack in all of those activities. You are the king. You wallow in them like a pig in mud, and you cannot discuss them without plugging your ears, and chanting “no you”.
> 
> Grow up.

Speaking of group think…

Sunny Daze you’d be alright if you didn’t feel the need to impress the so-called cool kids. Look, there is nothing heroic about joining a pack of vultures and deliberately spreading lies about people and then laughing. You’d think such sociopathic behavior would be rare after middle school, but, alas, it’s not.

You, just like that doofus Colibri, should know better. Defending and fighting back is not the same as instigating the fight. You all are knowingly victim blaming because you know that the numbers you cowards have are far superior and that your attacks shape the reality. It’s an insidious catch-22 because the very act of defense becomes “proof” of an offense.

Now, I might not be able to convince anyone that the tactics you folks are using deceptive. I don’t care. What I won’t do is be a passive victim.
