Shut up, droptard.
Finally, one of you assholes has the guts to fucking make a Pit thread instead of whining on another message board. I appreciate you bringing it here so I can respond without giving away my identity.
Too bad you’re repeating their stupid tactics. Pulling up posts from the long past, like Fenris used to do. (Yes, I’m being ironic.) Talk about raising zombies.
It’s cute that you guys are so obsessed with me*, but it’s not going to make me stop calling you out on your bullshit. Especially since you clearly cut and pasted this from the Giraffe Boards. (And not even the guy who commissioned it–again, Fenris–had the guts to post it.)
I promised back in 2009 or so to reduce the moralizing. And I have, considerably. I realized there were decent people who were feeling bad, and I needed to be nicer to them. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to stop completely. And the people it’s least likely to stop for are the assholes who go around harassing me.
I told you once that the whole “BigTard” thing is effectively calling someone named BigF BigFaggot. It’s not a way for me to take you seriously. And the “shut up” meme, where you quote me out of context or deliberately misinterpret what I say doesn’t do much either.
One of the great things about this board is that I don’t have to walk on eggshells. I tried pulling my punches and being nice to the cretins. And what did that get? More people harassing me. When I started responding again, what happened? Those people either stopped harassing me or stopped posting here.
And, faithfool, what you miss is that I don’t care what they think of me. I don’t post because I want these assholes to like me. This isn’t high school. I’m not trying to change their minds about me. The fact that horrible people dislike you is almost a badge of honor.
They said something that I think is bad enough to deserve some sort of response, so I give a response–the same day I first see it. I’ll take extreme age into account, but not a few days. No one else avoids posting because a thread is a few days old, and it’s unreasonable to expect me to do that, either.
And that’s what I do. I knew the assholes made up this shit about me stewing on shit, but I didn’t realize the decent people like you actually believed them. I respond in the moment, like anyone else. The reason they think I stew on shit is because of their meme about me being obsessed with this board. It’s normal for a person not to see a respond for days after you post something, or to never see it at all.
I am who I am. I am someone who responds when I see someone saying something shitty and no one else calling them on it or otherwise acting like it’s shitty. I have always been this way, and nowhere else do I get people shitting on me over it–unless you count Reddit and the posts that get downvoted to hell.
I will defend other people, and I will defend myself. In ATMB, I will point out when I think the mods are right or wrong. If I like you, I may try to make it nicer. And I will mostly shut up as long as someone else has said what I wanted to say. But that’s all you get. If that causes you to hate me DEAL WITH IT.
I told you once, and it remains true, that if you want me to consider your complaints, you can offer them without the ridicule and without the attempts to piss me off so that I’ll do something I’ll regret. You know I have some issues with anger, and exploiting them with this shit will not work. I will not be baited. I respond if I think I have a bigger to point to make, or otherwise I say nothing.
This board may not be “all I have” anymore. But it still sucks to be banned from a board that you’ve spent 7 years at. A board that, for the most part, is a fun place to be. Just because some assholes try to make it shit for me will not make me run and hide.
*And, if you actually were obsessed with me, you’d know I apologized for some of the “lectures” you’ve brought up. But no, when you did your Google search, it was more important to make me look bad.
And BTW, that’s the only response you will get. I will not be dragged further into a long drawn out ordeal over this. You made your case, it was a stupid case, and I’ve responded. This is over, as far as I’m concerned.
I tried being nice before, and that just got me more people harassing me.
Technically, we got this one, too.
Who expected a lecture? 
Agreed.
As much as I would like BigT to shut up, and as much as I enjoy rolling my eyes over his endless posts offering generic “advice” based solely on stuff ne’s read on the internet, I do have to wonder why the OP felt the need to import this thread.
Okay, hon. But just going by the reply you’ve posted now, it certainly appears like you care what others think. And I’m not trying to suggest you do things to specifically curry favor. No, my advice is simply to not draw a target on your back.
Because truly, it IS healthy to walk away from somethings that are beneath your attention. Despite someone insulting you and you not discovering until days or weeks (or whatever) later, the only person, in turn, whose blood pressures rises? You. Which goes double when you find it and respond, then undoubtedly skyrockets as you watch the resulting fallout in various places.
So, I’m hoping you’ll help yourself avoid feeling the way you often express due to this kind of stuff, but am perfectly willing to keep my own sanity intact by now stepping aside. Best wishes.
Nope, I don’t.
I do know that I normally read your posts and don’t think to myself, “Fucking half-wit.”
Fucking half-wit.
Case in point.
Shut the fuck up, quit while you’re behind and shut the fuck up.
Did I mention shut the fuck up!
Here’s my impression of 99% of the people who read your posts;
“Wow, I have a really huge and fresh scab… I’m gonna pick it - I bet it’ll hurt! Ow…Oww…oowww… owhowwow! Yup that sure fucking hurt. Why did I fucking do that!?!”
You are the scab that masochists pick.
BigT mad! BigT smash! Puny humans!
Why, thank you! I think. 
And I appreciate how you have forgotten the many times I have shown that I am indeed a fucking half-wit. As for BigT’s lengthy moralizing and hectoring others claim, one advantage of ADD is that my eyes glaze over after a few words and I move on.
And as far as having a positive view of him when he agrees with me, DUH. It shows how wise he is in those matters because I am always right, in a flexible, easily adjusted way.
And BigT, don’t fuck with faithfool. She’s a better person than you and can beat you three falls out of three. And she’s right.
Before this thread, I never knew John F. Mace’s middle initial.
Really? I always assumed it so that’s what I call him under my breath.
Big T and his ilk have most definitely dampened my enthusiasm for posting on this board lately. Every interaction I have had with him that I can remember involves him doing a drive by calling me a racist, misogynist or saying I am arguing disingenuously when I am not. Perhaps I am all of these things and I could be a better person, but when I challenge him there is no response - so really it is just all a waste of time to me.
I was attracted to this board because of the ability to explore and analyze emotions thoughts and ideas that may be controversial but that are discussed on a more thorough and in depth level that challenges gut reactions personal bias. The more this board condones mere sanctimoniousness and and attacks that amount to not exactly attacking the poster but instead say, “since you feel this you must be that” sans any sort of cite, the more tortuous the journey of expanding one’s mind becomes and up to a point it no longer seems worth the effort.
Perhaps that is how it should be though; this board is wonderful thing for many, but perhaps not everyone should try to contribute.
Wait, there are people who don’t like John Mace? Dafuq?
BigT does preach and lecture. On occasion it gets on my nerves, but he’s also easy enough to ignore. Especially since he’ll post to a thread days after the discussion has ended.
But is there really a huge contingent of BigT’s? Seems like this board has more of an infestation of derps than sanctimonious types.
We look at things from different political directions, though Yurpeens might say we are politically identical from their standpoints. I consider him an internet buddy but he sometimes gets on my nerves and I assume vice versa. It’s the Circle of Life of human interactions.
Sorry. Missed your post.
Yeah, I admit it’s kinda’ jerkish of me to just come in with a lazy “Why?”
(Maybe not so much a thread shit as a fart.)
I thought it better than “Meh” because I really don’t get why so much hate gets thrown at Big T.
I realize his preachiness can be annoying, but for Madsircool to go to the length of creating a “lecture” with 20-odd links, some dredged up from years ago, just seems bizzare, and rather obsessive. I clicked on just three of his links, and didn’t think any of them warranted such an overboard pitting.
More than that, I really hate that people call him “Big Tard”. It really gets under my skin for some reason.
But mostly, yeah, I was being a smart arse.
Genuinely sorry it pissed you off.
Well sure. But the degree of vitriol surprised me.
(Yes, I know. Naive.)
I would not say there is a huge contingency of Big T’s, but I feel as if in the 3 years since I started lurking and the posting here there has been a steady increase in posting of that nature (shallow, sanctimonious, poorly thought out, poorly cited if cited at all) on sensitive issues.
I don’t really want to belabor the point, I just wanted to add my opinion to the conversation. There are some who are concerned about the SDMB turning into an echo chamber, and I would have to include myself in that group. I don’t think it is because people with opposing views are particularly sensitive and are posting less because they are too thin skinned to handle criticism; I think, instead, it has as much to do with the boredom of listening to an increasing number of poorly thought out arguments of the kind that Big T posts.
For what it’s worth, I think your posting in particular does much to counterbalance that - unfortunately there are just fewer and fewer posters like yourself AFAICT.
What vitriol? You may have mistaken me for someone with strong opinions and deeply-held beliefs.
