Oh no! septimus thinks I am a racist and stupid. :eek::eek::eek: And is this hypersensitivity whenever a POC is mentioned “black fragility?”
You honestly think that dishonest, ad hominem attacks prove some great truth? You know your point of view is flawed and that’s why you and many on the left have adapted the tactics of “dat’s racist” and “dat’s sexist” as if that isn’t at this point glaringly obvious nothing but a tactic.
Keep fighting the good fight septimus. Maybe in 60 years the Supreme Court will be back in the hands of the nutty left. Until then you calling me names on the internet is as useful as sky screaming. Maybe not as enjoyable as putting on a mask and smashing up Trump supporters is it though?
I remember actually having some thoughtful discussions (usually disagreeing) with octopus. But he appears to have changed what he’s interested in - I can’t remember the last time I read a post of his that wasn’t “potty mouth”, a straw man attempt to shame liberals, or juvenile insults (usually in response to other juvenile insults).
It’s actually hard to engage thoughtfully when the Pit encourages character assassination as a means to discredit one who holds a minority viewpoint with regards to the board. If the board were full of posters like you and those like you it would be a better place. Even outside the Pit we are having these paranoid and hyperbolic threads about Republicans being a danger to the whole world. And when the noise to signal ratio is so high it’s hard to filter it all out.
Imagine how fun it’d be for you if the numbers were reversed and the reprehensible and quite frankly disturbed in the head posters directed their vitriol towards you. I don’t know if you’d stick around much less be a consistently upbeat poster.
A single one of my posts, regardless of the posts, will quite often attract the usual crowd of vulgarians. The thing is, they are proving my point about the pervasiveness of dishonest and irrational discourse. But they are lacking the self awareness to recognize the hypocrisy.
You must have forgotten your customary “eat shit” macro. I’m disappointed.
I don’t post for social approval. I’m not motivated to belong to an e-clique. Pitting me or my points of view was and is never going to work. Ask yourself, with all the hand wringing and soul searching about people leaving because of Ginger and Mary-Anne thread why is it that a sub-forum designed to encourage hostility was a good idea if board membership and retention was a goal?
What do you think posters are going to do when they are continuously personally attacked for a different point of view or political party? Just roll over and submit? :dubious:
It’s sad, you as a mod, seem to think a board where people are bullied into conformity is a good thing. I think that says a lot more about you and the fool who originally enabled that behavior than about me.
You’re not attacked for your point of view. You’re attacked because of your asinine behavior.
Of course, here I am not posting as a mod but as a poster.
See, here’s why people despise you so much. It’s because you’re a whining little puke, not because of your political opinions. Trying to blame it on your opinions rather than on your behavior is pathetic.
As far as being “bullied” :dubious:, there’s no reason you need to come into the Pit. But you’re all over the place, even when the subject isn’t you. You claim to hate the Pit, but you’re actually happier than a pig in shit wallowing in it. You’re a total hypocrite.
If the Pit is so fucking scary, then stay out of it, you pathetic wanker.
Nice reading comprehension. It’s not that it’s scary it’s that it’s counterproductive in practice and stupid in design. And there is nothing hypocritical about refusing to be e-bullied.
And I was originally pitted because of my opinions. So spare me your dishonest sanctimony.
Yet here you are. Out of curiosity, I checked. In the last two months, 176 of your 337 posts, or more than 50%, have been in the Pit. (I can’t search farther back because of the 500 post limit. You sure do spew a lot of bullshit.) For someone who believes it’s worthless, you sure spend a lot of time here.
Aside from the patheticness of whining about being “e-bullied,” the hypocritical part is that a lot of your posts in the Pit have nothing to do with attacks on you. This thread was started because of your penchant for charging into threads in the Pit and elsewhere and making them all about you.
Actually, in the twoother Pit threads I can find, you were Pitted for your asinine behavior, not your politics. So spare me your lying about the reasons you are Pitted.
Thousands of other people manage to use this site productively without venturing into the Pit. You are either a troll or you’re incapable of simple comprehension.
This is mostly under your control. You can choose who to respond to, and how to respond. And by my reading, for the last several months, you’ve chosen mostly to respond to vulgarity with either vulgarity or childish (potty-mouth!) retorts, or occasionally misinterpreting liberal arguments (including my own). Virtually no actual thoughtful engagement that I can recall.
Secondly, you don’t get to dictate what I post, how I post, why I post, or where I post. Furthermore I find it highly ironic that you and your fellow Giraffe boarders who post here to troll for content have the nerve to call anyone else a troll. You parasites lack some serious self awareness.
Yeah, when you spend 1/100 of time tut tutting broad brushing from the left, vileness from the left, and hypocrisy from the left then you might have a point.
