There are a lot of the kaftatrap that goes on there, like ''you're snowflakes for thinking we're snowflakes!'' sort of thing. Just everlasting bickering that goes round in circles, and the person with the best vocabulary skills wins. I have very little vocabulary skills so I don't win arguments so easily on here. I find it hard to find the right words, the big words, to get people to understand.
I'm glad I found the word ''kaftatrap'' on another forum elsewhere and looked up what it means because it's much better than breaking it down in boring, simple words.
Using one word that means several words is much easier, but requires vocabulary skills and intelligence. It's a bit like saying ''A, B, C, D....'' rather than just saying ''the alphabet''.

Kafkatrap (plural Kafkatraps) A sophistical rhetorical device in which any denial by an accused person serves as evidence of guilt. [ from 2010] quotations ▼ Jill said Jack was paranoid, and when he told her he was not she just nodded knowingly. It was a perfect Kafkatrap.
Some people take this seriously.

So very tempted to send a threat to someone.
I won't because it's immoral.
But f**k anyone who hates me or thinks I'm broken.
I'm one of the smartest people I know and having an obsessive type brain that isn't too stupid to notice the details is a very good reason why I am that way.
If someone wants to push eugenics for a 'condition' they have themselves, well, unless they're in a genuinely good idea to do it situation, they have the ability to do it.

42 years ago, I knew someone who was convinced that those who were particularly susceptible to hypnotic trance induction, were being genetically culled from the gene pool.
He vowed to have 12 khildren to 'stick a carrot up their collective bums'.

The PPR thing seems to go in waves. For ages, anyone vaguely left-wing would end up as the pinata in a non-stop game of "Stomp the liberal". These days, anyone vaguely right-wing ends up as the pinata in a non-stop game of "Stomp the Nazi". As a left-winger, I should probably be gloating right now, but I really don't feel like it. It annoys me that forum warriors with an axe to grind generally go after a) moderates of the other side and b) moderates of their own side, two classes of people they could reasonably be having a productive conversation with. They don't go after extremists of the other side. Too scary.
Well, the reality is, PPR is dominated by the left these days.
It has been like this for years.
It was supposed to change, and it has to *some* degree, but it still has predominantly left-leaning favouritism.
A 'platform', in principle, should be a place for open, even discussion from either side, but this clearly isn't the case.
It certainly wasn't dominated by the left 2 years ago. Wall-to-wall alt-right flamebait, with all the flamer's little mates waiting in line to kick the crap out of anyone who took the bait. A lot of those people seem to have either toned it down or moved elsewhere since then.
Incorrect.

I know what I experienced. You disagree. Possessing as I do a rudimentary sense of irony, I'll leave it there.

why do some people have to make my job as a bus driver so difficult when not need be
some passengers refuse to wear a mask for no reason except to be obtuse
then they call me names today i got called covid w*ker but im just doing my job and we are told that we must make all passengers wear a face covering unless excempt
why do some people like creating a scene ?
were people like this when shoes were first invented?
like im not used to these new rules about wearing shoes so im gonna rebel and throw a tantrum ?
