But, whatever you do, make sure you push the responsibility for why onto someone else. Matt: You. Were. The. Person. Who. Told. Me. I. Told. You. You. Were. Not. Allowed. To. Like. A. Film. When. I. Did. No. Such. Thing. How is this not understood? You have to assume this responsibility yourself. Which... by the way, you can do privately. You don't have to respond. Nobody is telling you that you have to respond.
Even though I've blocked him, I'm still not interested in seeing all these replies to his bullshit. Mods, isn't it time he be banned? Whatever novelty of keeping this troll around has since grown stale and is actually tainting the experience of coming to these boards. I understand the humor in keeping the obnoxious little twerp of the group around, but I don't think anyone finds it funny at this point. We may actually lose valuable members of the board at this point.
Name a rule I've broken that wasn't broken against me first. You insulted me before I said anything directed your way, therefore breaking rules over name-calling / personal attacks first. Maybrick did the same. Twister did the same. baggio did the same. Natas did the same. shape22 did the same. Workshed did the same. Mok did the same. Zombie Dude did the same. Etc. Sorry, but, the only thing you have against me is not liking the fact that I stand up for myself and the integrity of the topics I post in. That is all.
Everybody chill the fuck out. It's a forum about horror movies. You don't like someone, don't engage with them or ignore them (or put them on the block list).
See? Furthermore, I have told everyone this myself before. Many times. But the fact of the matter is that some people here just do not want to see that I am still on the board. They can't stand that they don't have the power to eject me themselves. They're the typical internet coward who have problems in real life that they can't deal with and take them out on anonymous people online because they don't have to be held accountable by anyone. Again, it is not up to them what I am allowed to post. Or the way I frame arguments. Etc. Such is life. Time to deal with that.
You do, and I know you know this, tend to hit people with strong opinions delivered with heavy condescending sarcasm right out of the gate. It doesn't bother me, I know your style, but you know... I can see why people get riled up.
Yeah, but here's the thing... ... I don't actually feel condescension toward anyone until they react poorly. I'm dead serious. I have read myself very carefully and I don't see the difference between how I write and others write regarding the films we discuss. I don't even have opinions on people here. Until they take it upon themselves to crusade against me. Which I think is as fucking ridiculous as they claim I am. I don't look to be persecuted. I just deal with their stupid behavior logically. I analyze it. I show them where they've made their mistakes. Etc. But, they try to rewrite the narrative of a conversation. Which cannot be done. I break it down so simply, it's impossible to still have the original problem they claimed to have. And then I tell them: don't reply, it's okay. Do they ever listen to me? It seriously takes 2 to tango here. And, ironically, this really is an issue of- certain people having a problem with me. It's not as widespread across the board as people like shape22 have claimed it is.
I don't allow him to rile me up because I always block him well before it gets to that point. He is exhausting. But you're right. He can't even play nice with people like me that probably agree with him 95% of the time. He has problems with virtually everybody on the board but it's always everybody else's fault, never his. The guy simply refuses to accept any responsibility for his own antisocial behavior.
I have, but like I said, I now need to wade through countless replies to his bullshit until I get to anything worth reading.
Angelman: Exhibit A, right there ^ . If this is the way people talk about/to/around me, they have no right to make comments like "it's always everybody else's fault, never his."
Try not manipulating what I said like a Fox! News contributor next time. Then you won't be a raging hypocrite.
See what I mean, Angelman, about people on this board constantly needing to re-write the narratives of a discussion to fit their claims?
Have a good weekend all. Gonna do a few extra beers today in honor of this thread. Cuz it's necessary.
If you find yourself to be an intolerable person, that's kind of your own fault. Wouldn't you agree? You don't have to live with me. Quit pretending that I'm in your life just because I'm in a few posts on this board.
Give me a break, Angel. It's Natas. He takes everything I say as entertainment. Either there's nothing you can say to him that is wrong or he's putting on the world's bravest brave-face. Either way, he demanded it. I'm just the supplier.
