It's been a long time without a pit thread that entertaining.
Keep fighting the good fight guys. If I'm sober enough tomorrow |

But see, that's what I don't get. Y'all have such a zero tolerance policy when it comes to trolls that it loses rationality. "Trolling" isn't always a character trait, it can be a behavior. You know that. Why would this be relevant? The point is that accusing someone of that behavior trait is against the rules. It has nothing to do with the desire to stop trolls. It has to do with the fact that it's incendiary. Trolling even once is a horribly disliked behavior, and thus eve accusing someone of doing it once is considered an attack. Trolling is not something you can do accidentally. You might not call it that, or realize it's wrong, but you must have a fundamental desire to try and stir up needless confrontation. That desire is what is considered wrong. It's so wrong that accusing someone of having that desire is itself considered wrong. To accuse someone of trolling is to say something fundamental about who they are as a person. It doesn't matter whether they do it once or make a habit of it. It's still an attack on their character. The acceptable way of voicing your opinion would have been to say that it "sounded like trolling, but you knew it wasn't due to his character." |

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, what you miss is that I don't care what you think of me. I don't post because I want you assholes to like me. This isn't high school. I'm not trying to change your minds about me. The fact that horrible people dislike you is almost a badge of honor. You 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 you assholes made up this shit about me stewing on shit, but I didn't realize the decent people actually believed them. I respond in the moment, like anyone else. The reason you 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. |

You all rock for trying to explain to LHoD, Chimera, Octopus, etc why you can feel however you want without a man's approval. I don't think you're going to win with them in the long run though. ![]() Also, Skald (who I never paid much attention to before) is starting to sound (and the evidence is mounting) that he's just another Evil Captor who's got a rape/torture porn thing and enjoys surprising people by putting it in threads with innocuous titles. |

Oh, I know there's no point in talking to them but sometimes I have the energy and the animus to go ahead and twaddle their stupid little turnips. I'm not expecting any of the guys are gonna suddenly get religion and stop being assbiskits, it's more that I'm leaving some little bits of equipment along the way for female lurkers and future posters to help them navigate the cesspool a little better. I see that some women are decloaking to toss out a little #MeToo support so there's that.

He's a parody sock that has been posting here on and off for awhile. I think they copy and paste from actual BigT posts. The real one posted here once in the board's early days and tried to recruit people to email bomb the admins here, but everyone just laughed at him. He posted over here the day after he started this meltdown in ATMB over a warning he got. That's the only time the real one has posted here so far as I know.

So much this. I mean, I'm hardly doing the Lord's work here, I'm just responding to posts that have really pissed me off, but the sister solidarity aspect is definitely a positive one.

Okay, I know we're not at page 20 yet but I figured this was a good time to start the new snark thread before the Skald thread blows back up, if it does. No one better complain about the title this time or I shall be very cross
