I did.
Utter tosh. What exactly am I abusing?
Yep, classic Vod technique. Keep making claims that I lied then never quoting it or even specifying what the lie was. You are abusing anything you can get your hands on.
That's hilarious. When's the last time you were civil to a "communist"? You care very deeply if people disagree with you to the point where you have to insult them over their beliefs if they don't align with yours. That's the problem. You can't just let a disagreement slide. TwitchySeal, for instance, has been extremely civil toward you and humble in his approach to dealing with you, and you in turn have been a massive dick.
You demand that not only the forum be perfect but be perfectly accorded with your vision of how the universe works. Well, hate to break it to you, but that's never gonna happen.
Who said anything about being civil? What does being "civil" mean? You get to define this of course. Again, thanks for making a great example of users not being able to separate their personal feelings from general forum conduct. I am not demanding anything, certainly not perfection. All I am doing is documenting publicly these interactions for review. You would be surprised how often the "universe" reacts some times to mere words alone.
If you didn't care if people disagreed with you, you wouldn't feel the need to be a massive dick to them. That's what it comes down to.
Talking about not being able to separate personal feelings from general forum conduct: at least I don't get my panties in a bunch every time a moderator deletes one of my posts, or doesn't delete one of my adversary's posts.
How exactly does that make logical sense? If I cared that people disagreed with me I would act like you and tell the default trust list to line up so I can wash their balls for them. I am saying what I say at the expense of people like you following me around everywhere else on the forum because you can't handle that I "was a dick to you" in Politics and Society. Your disagreement isn't the problem, its your inability to isolate it from the rest of the forum's functions. Speaking of forum policy and enforcement, seems to me mods deleting posts falls firmly under that description.
I think it's possible that he either A) Doesn't realize how aggressive (often passive aggressive) his posts are perceived by most or, more likely, B) Perceives any post that challenge something he said as a direct attack on his intelligence and/or honor. He seems to consider his own opinions facts. Therefore other peoples opinions must be 'wrong', and he must prove them wrong, otherwise it will appear that he is wrong.
Or he might be just a troll I guess. But I think B or A is much more likely.
Gonna go prepare myself mentally now for all the mean things that are about to be said about me.
Are you 12 years old? Are you chained to your keyboard? Does your mommy whip you and force you to interact with me on Politics and Society? No? I would have to conclude then if you don't like interacting with me in Politics and Society, the fact that you engage me is your own fault. I can't wipe those crocodile tears for you. Maybe some one else will.
