Y’know, I have to wonder. **Annoyed** , you’ve been here a while, and you haven’t had a single positive interaction with anyone on this forum. All you’ve really been posting is vitriol and spite, mostly just calling people assholes. Why do you want to stick around? Seriously, why don’t you go do something better with your time? Because I can think of a lot of better things to do with my time than “get shouted at by strangers on the internet and call them all assholes”. Really, almost anything. Get a new game on steam, go for a walk, learn a new piece of music. Something. It’s just… bizarre. I don’t get the mental state one has to be in to think this is a good use of one’s time. (I also don’t get why we have to suffer through it when this person is clearly both a jerk and a troll, but that’s a very separate question.) ---

To be fair, I’m only throwing shit back in return. I post on here because the far left fascinates me. It’s interesting to me that the people touting to be so nice and tolerant and inclusive are usually so narrow minded and nasty. They don’t like opposing views. They don’t like anyone who isn’t lockstep. You have a whole sub forum where you create threads to ridicule people you disagree with and try to shame them. I know I won’t be changing any minds. This is for my own personal amusement. And I’m not a troll. ---

I’m not sure if it is or isn’t a real secret rule. But it has been used at the very least as a partial justification to ban a poster who got sucked into spending most of his time on pit responses to the usual crowd. ---
