And I seem to remember you’ve had a death of someone close to you recently, and I very much empathize with that.

I hope you get through your medical issues without complications.

The one thing you did beside the finger wagging you always seem to do was bringing up some old shit no one else knows about and I don’t remember. That is what set me off. I did say as much, but as I was lashing out at you I get why you didn’t take that to heart.

On the Roe vs. Wade stuff, I am sympathetic, believe me. I’m very angry about this shit. Most likely some of that bled over to you. But that thread that kicked his off was in violation of our rule **s** and pretty clearly. It was a mess.

That may have been too strong a word, yes. How about “intensely dislikes”?

Take a look at who is White-Kighting for you now. Think about that for a moment. And then you may want to re-assess.

When you’re being criticized by a room full of people, and only the one shitty asshole in town stands up to defend you… well, you can be sure that you’re not in the right, and you’d better listen to the others.

Oh! Whoops. I’ve had octopus blocked for a long time now, so I didn’t have any idea of what he’s been saying (thankfully).

I’ll never understand the emotions behind the hate, pile ons, recreational outrage and intense reactions of the doper fam in the pit towards one another.

The amount of rage and consternation exhibited is astounding to me. Some of you people in the pit are truly sadomasochists.

Fourteen sentences isn’t too much, and I (and most people here) will gladly read long posts if they are thoughtful, pertinent, useful, and well-written.

But read back over the 14 sentences in your post. There was nothing new; it just rehashed the exact same stuff you already said.

You put a lot of thought into your posts, and that comes through. I truly appreciate that. But they aren’t well-written and aren’t always pertinent. Your 14 sentences contain 1/4 the info of the other posters you are comparing yourself to. You bring in history and context from all over the place in a misguided attempt to build some unifying theory in every post. And so I rarely make it to the end of any of your posts.

And yet, yours was an easy read. My English Composition teacher would have given your an A for making your points in a clear and concise way.

Undoubtedly, but what has that got to do with your point?

Calling me a troll without any evidence other than your clogged rectal canal doesn’t begin to make me one–what it does do, perhaps, is mark me as someone whose opinions have gotten under your skin at some point, and mark you as a hypersensitive prick complaining to Mama to ban me 'cuz your poor widdle feewings got hurt somewhere along the line.

I keep this category on mute most of the time, it kinda pains me to read it. Perhaps even triggering at times, it chills my vibe/ is a detriment to my enjoyment to wade into all the mudslinging in the forum. Not my bag to fling shit from my corner to another.

What was your point?
