I suggest “emotional terrorism”.

I had no problem scrolling over most anything he writes and still will but I just had to try this.

I used a symbol from the emoji list as it takes less space: ⍥

Okay, also because it looks like a little assshole. 🙂

So now when his phrase replaces his typing “LOL”, Chrome places in ⍥ instead.

The whole process took maybe two minutes to do.

Fun!

Misogynistic, sure, I guess it could be, I’ll own to that, nobody’s perfect.

Hate speech? It is to fucking laugh.

Yes.

Also, your post doesn’t make your case very well. Or at all, in fact.

Wait a minute. This was being discussed elsewhere before this thread?

OK that just increased the humor again.

We are over 9000 level butthurt

You argument is weird AnaMen. You go on and on about how critiquing Snowboarder for his annoying behavior is bullying… then say you don’t think bullying matters that much.

I’d say that doxxing, cyber stalking and credible threats of violence are pretty serious problems. That’s not what we’re seeing here. I’m also not too keen on picking on folk for sport - I’m not seeing that in this thread. What I’m seeing is an attempt to get Snowboarder Bo to curb behavior he knows to be annoying. I’m also seeing people who derive enjoyment out of other’s annoyance.

I’m guessing that trolling and bullying derives from same motive. And that attempting to get Snowboarder to knock it off is something else entirely.  
Try looking in the mirror sometime.  
There’s also a little bit of push for tolerance of shit-headed posting. Ironically, Snowboarder Bo actually provides mostly decent content. Years ago he was told politely that he was undermining his rep. So he’s aware of it. He doesn’t care.

Hey, we’re just following Snowboarder Bo’s directions! We thought he _wanted_ to be pitted!

Well, like most things this will be old news in a matter of days, and someday we won’t even be able to remember it at all.

Enjoy your rage while you can. Because later real life will catch up with you and none of this will mean shit.

I’d like to open a contest for the best line or symbol to have Word Replacer II “autocorrect” **SB** ’s pet phrase with. I like mine because I don’t have to read anything, but I can see some like **Guin** being amused by having **SB** ’s posts “autocorrect” his “autocorrect” to his saying “I am such a putz!”

Any suggestions? Words or symbols both fine.

Yeah because complaining about the mods refusing to enforce the rule against hate speech is the same as complaining about a silly catchphrase. :dubious:  
The cases aren’t within ten miles of one another.

The _real_ fun starts when you use it on Donald Trump and then go to the Elections forum 🙂

Not to make too big a deal over it but why did you feel the need to bring her gender into this? It had nothing to do with her OP. Its just a bit ironic considering how hard you went after construct.

It wasnt the subject I was refering to. It was the fact that he accused someone else of whining after perhaps a board record whine himself. I tend to fall on the allowing more speech side of any debate as long as that speech is allowed to be refuted.

I didn’t _bring_ anything into it. It was already there. I reused it and I didn’t _have_ to, but I didn’t suck the term out of the ether.

If you choose to call complaining about tolerance of outright, self-confessed racists like **Construct** “whining”, you’re a fucking idiot at best.

Mr. Dibble remains the most sanctimonious, self-righteous blowhard on the board. Still thinks anything is acceptable as long as he is the one who says it because he is, you know, _good._ I still believe he must be an unimaginably tiresom windbag IRL.

Troll? You, clearly, don’t really understand the word and don’t have time to look it up. You’re too busy constantly reminding the board what a moral paragon you consider yourself. Most recently in the thread about killing Hitler as a child. I know born-again, fundamentalist Xians who aren’t half so smug as you about their belief in their own righteousness.  
If I were trolling, I’d be trying to get a reaction out of the board at large. What I am doing here is noting what a monster of self-regard I consider you, specifically, to be. I expect people heave sighs and pinch the bridges of their noses frequently IRL when you natter on about yourself and just how morally upright you are.
