I agree.
I was very surprised to learn he was still a teenager.
Quite a good head on his shoulders, imo.

Don't get me wrong.
I don't want moderator involvement via closing this thread.
But I am surprised it hasn't been done already.

Tolerant moderators in this forum.
Kudos. :wink:

I'd agree that some of them are interesting. I can't agree that they seem to always be motivated by logic, instead he's often good at coming up with rationalizations for emotional arguments and positions.

Ahh the famous 5 again. Sorry to bust another of your myths but working as a team requires cooperated strategising and collaboration. I for one have never been in contact via messaging with anyone on this forum. On the other hand I recall you boasted about having the ear of a former (or current?) unamed mod who shared your world views and communicated in tandem.

When I pointed to the aforementioned mod that taking sides was biased I recall he said it wasn't prohibited in the WP policy. So in addition to derailing threads (which you are becoming a young master) you also work in cahoots with others in packs (BTW send my regards and christmas wished to your old banned buddies raptor and Dox47)

I had noticed a lack of a few toxic posters around here as of late., besides the nurse with the diaper fetish.

They might have been booted before your time although raptor slinked back earlier this year but seemed rather "neutered" compared to his bad old days when he was a right wing troll.

Agreed!

When I came here 6 years ago I was expecting greater reasoning ability and less emotional indulgence.
I still believe the degree of intelligence is greater overall here than on typical NT sites, however. :wink:

I found him "interesting".
I think he talked a lot about being set up using fake accounts in order to get him banned. :scratch:

If you defame people, they won't like you and they'll express so. It doesn't matter if your defamation reaches a threshold to hold you legally accountable, they're entitled to hold you personally accountable with social sanctions like no longer being friendly or giving you the benefit of the doubt when others make similar accusations, or telling others of their earlier interactions, etc.

If it makes you feel better, you don't have to like people who've defamed you either and are absolutely entitled to sanction them in the same ways; but you should probably stop hijacking the threads they post in to just complain about how they're just spam threads. The only spam is the spam you contribute to these threads.

Honestly, I'm a little ashamed of myself for insisting to goldfish21 that he shouldn't have called you childish, while I don't agree with his formula (considering even NTs mature at different rates and to different extents), I agree with him that you're acting like a child who wants attention from people who don't buy into his superiority complex.


What happened is that I said there are about 5 unnamed people who spam the same topic over and over.

And only about 5 people got personally offended and acted as a team trying to discredit me and play psyche games on me.

Staff confirmed that Raptor and Dox47 were never banned. They along with many just stopped posting here.

Probably due to getting worn out over the same topic being spammed over and over which dominates News and Current Events.

Indeed the spammers obviously seek dominance and brag about how many they have pestered away.

They get upset with me because they feel like I am interfering with their goal of making News and Current Events into their personal playground echo chamber.

I remember their usernames, they're not before my time.

That's an interesting way of saying expressed disagreement with you.

If you're so convinced this is nothing but contrivance, spam, fake news, left-winger propaganda & lies, your task should be obvious.

Find your extremist right wing aspie messiah. It shouldn't be so hard when you're venomously refuting Goldfish's op-ed posts on a backwoods internet forum.

Go ahead, find a bible-thumping MAGA nut with autism who has the balls to address the U.N. on your argumentative platform. Just do it already, or stop whining about the free publicity for your plight.

I'm not saying this is the case here.
I haven't been following the story closely.
Don't really care. :mrgreen:
But it does happen.
I have seen it with my own "digital" eyes elsewhere.

I was a little shocked when I first came across this tribalism/gang/partisan/groupthink nonsense 6 years ago.
I thought aspies were better than that.
I was naive. 8O

But like I said elsewhere, it is better here, in that regard than in most NT forums. <shrug>
