You are here because no mods have banned you.
And why would they?
I am here because I was asked to be a representative of FTR by the owner and voted in by the other mods.
LOL. just LOL. This site is dead. It doesn't need a mod. It doesn't need a representative. Follow the logical hypothetical through to completion. What would happen here if you stopped modding?
If you really get off on being in control, in a position of authority, then marry a bitch and have some kids. Or...maybe try to do something more respectable than blow up soda cans. If this site is where you get your power-jollies...then maybe it's time to take inventory.
Much that this fact may be uncomfortable for you, it is the reality.
It's uncomfortable for me in the same way it's uncomfortable for me to watch a homeless person freezing. It's not fun watching a person suffer when they could help themselves, but won't.
What's the end-game of this power-trip you're on?
The end game is robust discussion. You detract from that.
Do you think you can convince me to leave FTR over your passive-aggressive badgering?
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm challenging you to validate your presence here. Playing chincy semantic games over the word "remarkable" isn't good.
Do you think that's more likely than you pushing your toe over the line another time and finally receiving the permanent ban you earned months ago?
The fact that you would do that for just "pushing a toe over the line" kinda proves my point about how petty and meaningless your actions here really are.
I honestly hope you keep within the bounds of our rules, which is why I've cut you so, so much slack on the rules
I see only disrespect from you for my extending so many exceptions to you.
WOW!!!! So you expect some kind of reverence in return for how nicely you've treated me??? Fuck off!
You say I'm picking on you by talking to you and entreating you to follow the rules, when if I was really holding a grudge against you, I'd just ban you.
We both know WHY you haven't banned me. You'll look petty, childish, and over-sensitive. That's not what you want. You want to be 'forum-dad', and you want the kids to fall in line.
BTW - do you think you're the only one getting "that guy is being a dick" messages in his PM box?
Please recognize that no one here owes you anything, and yet we keep giving you our attention and forgive your constant rudeness
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!
You can't say that you're 'forgiving' my rudeness, while simultaneously saying that it doesn't offend you. If there is no offense....then there is nothing to forgive.
So...serious question....which is it? Do you care, or not?
even counter it with kindness more often than not.
No. Just no.
How long will it take you to recognize that you treat people with open contempt even when they respond with frank answers?
First of all, you don't give frank answers. Secondly, I don't treat people with open contempt...just ideas. If I'm contemptuous towards an individual, it's because the tone of the conversation went that way because of someone else.
Will you ever realize that those people do not respect you?
Why do you think I'm here? Respect???
Dude.....come back to reality. I'm here for the sadistic satisfaction of tearing apart the bad ideas that pollute the discourse here. It makes me feel good when the conversation suddenly stops, or the subject changes, or it devolves into Poop meme-ing, or it ends with you playing stupid, lame-ass, games where you get to revise what you said, and change your use of words after the fact.
I fucking love that.
If you had said "Gee Banana, I guess when you put it like that, the Amish sounds oppressive and terrible"...then I would have a lot less fun here.
Instead, when you start with "The Amish are great!", and then when that is debunked, you change your tune to "the Amish are a thing that can be talked about" and pretend like that's all you ever said......I just find that SOOOO FUCKING SATISFYING
YUMMY validation. And calling you out for it, and watching your denial/tantrum, is like bonus footage.
What is it about your own self-image that has you putting yourself in situations to be openly disrespected by those around you?
I think I just answered this. Engage in robust debate, defend your ideas with facts and logic, or be prepared to have your ideas ridiculed, debunked, and destroyed. I understand how much cognitive dissonance that causes. I know what kind of reaction a stubborn human being might have to that. I fully expect to be openly disrespected,.......that's the CLASSIC response of the clueless.
you don't like what's being said.....so just attack the person saying it so you don't have to listen. That's pathetic. But if you insist on doing it, I'm going to keep pulling your pollyanna puppet strings to amuse myself.
Wouldn't it be better for you to surround yourself with people whom respect you and want to see you become the best version of yourself you can be?
I do that the other 23 hours a day.
