The “wink” indicates sarcasm just in case you weren’t aware. I can make fun of myself at my own expense. I cannot see how that would warrant your post in any way.

If you guys aren’t interested in being helpful then please just don’t say anything.
Ender’s post was perhaps the most helpful post ever posted, said in the kindest way possible.
Although his post only really points to one culprit, he was actually trying to be helpful, the rest has been response nonsense that just adds fuel to the fire. Hence the repeat of my request with no mention of his response.
Moviefreakedmind and TV’s Frink argue all the time in the politics thread. Sometimes they’ve said some pretty nasty things to each other. Yet, they both are finding you a little unbearable. There comes a point when so many people think you’re the problem that you might want to consider it a possibility. I’ve been the victim of the teasing of others here many times. The thing is I don’t let it get to me. I don’t blame everyone else.
Ok, it’s okay for others to find my behavior unbearable, do I get to find their behavior unbearable, or is it me just just looking for attention? They find me a problem, can I find them a problem? Am I the only singular presence on this board that has tortured and mind-f#$ked every single other member at any one given time? I am not allowed to take others strikes at face value because that’s not what they said, but mine are complete and utter lies and “foibles”? I also don’t blame “everyone” else. Is there a small group here that likes a good rodeo, you’re damn right there is, but not every single person on the forum rides in on their horse to round up the weak cattle. The “everyone” suggestion you made is exaggerated. I believe you meant to say “everyone that agrees with that small group” which is still NOT everyone on this forum.
😦
You’re welcome to find anyone unbearable. But the only time I used the word “everyone” was in reference to those whom I don’t blame, and implicitly that you do blame others. I don’t think it’s hard to realize that you are not literally blaming every other human on earth, or even everyone else on the forum. You blame anyone with whom you have a tussle for the problem and accept no responsibility yourself. This is truth.
And foibles are just quirks. You appear to be equating them with lies. I am not calling you or anyone a liar. I was stating that TV’s Frink points out others’ quirky traits. That’s not even saying they’re bad traits.
Fo, I think the only possible response to most of your posts is Warbler’s famous line.
If you’re feeling that everyone’s antagonistic towards you and doesn’t like your behaviour, there’s a pretty good chance the source of the problem lies with you and not us.
You mean the same warbler that resides here? The one that has been the subject of attack and been the attacker himself? You’re saying he never was a problem? The same warbler that just made the gas-light post above this one?
I think you don’t know what gaslighting is:
But if you’re saying he’s being inflammatory, he’s really not. Any disagreement with you leads nowhere. He’s pointing out what I said earlier and agreeing with it.
I just want to understand your statement because it would seem your implying that warbler’s advice you suggest I take was said by him because he’s a positive forum member all the time and was never a burden to anyone elses discussion here.
You’re saying nobody on this forum was EVER a problem in any way, shape, or form, ever?
I don’t think that’s what he’s saying. He’s saying the majority who have taken part in this discussion find you to be the primary source of the problem. Maybe the majority is right.

Of course I’m not saying that. You’ve been a bit of a problem lately (as in the last year or so). Of course there have been others, but few as persistent as you.
You have your good moments, but constently playing the victim got old real fast. If you stop acting like everyone’s out to get you, we’ll all get along a lot more nicely.
I said I was ticked off, I said I was blowing off steam, I said I’d get over it and it turned into it’s own little monster. Those who came got their kicks in on cue. Done and done.
This is the thread for bitching about something, I did it, and now I’m done. I feel better.
A sincere thank you to all that posted regardless of what you said. It’s another learning experience to help me understand myself better.
Cheers
I think this is an attempt at graceful disengagement, which I can applaud. Sadly, you say you’ve learned something about yourself, but probably not your role in these arguments. I got exactly zero kicks out of criticizing you. I actually feel bad about it. Like I’ve said, you’re a nice guy. I just wish you’d realize your flaws and make some changes.
When I use the term gas-lighting, I am talking about adding fuel to the flame, nothing more. As someone mentioned, warbler isn’t daft, he knows a thing or two about some thing or another.
About that article, it has some interesting parallels, to a number of situations I have come across.

Dear heavens.

Oh Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria.
I think you don’t know what gaslighting is
Confirmed (and proud of it!):

So now we know.
…
But what if by “adding fuel to the flame,” he means some other random, unrelated sentiment???
When the low fuel light in my car comes on, that’s what I mean by gaslighting.

But what if by confirmed you mean … convoluted? Or maybe Frink should check the pressure in his tires instead of filling up with gas?

Well, I just had another failed venture into the General Star Wars section. I don’t know why I even try over there.
The Person in Question
If everyone would just stop responding to Alderaan it would be a much better place.
I, for one, will endeavour to do just that starting now.

Yeah, I know. I don’t in Off Topic but for some reason I did in General Star Wars.
The Person in Question
The question is if he’d stop just because everyone responded. I feel that wouldn’t happen. And since the moderators don’t seem to feel he needs to be told to stop (an assumption on my part, but it’s certainly true publicly if nothing else), people should at least feel free to call him out for his bullshit. Same goes for Impscum, Mala, Ryan, and the rest.
That’s true. I still wish there was an ignore button though because I find it hard to ignore people when I see their bullshit.
The Person in Question
I think using the report button and letting the mods handle it is a far better suggestion than suggesting other members take it upon themselves to become a posse and run people out of town.
You really think that?
The Person in Question
It does kinda happen sometimes … not like I have any experience with a group saying I’m bad for this forum and then one after another they chime in, so yes. I am just trying to provide a bit of levity from personal experience, nothing more.
Feel free to do whatever you want about it really, I’m not a mod, none of us are. They are here, let them handle things if you feel certain members are getting more obtrusive than you believe is allowed.
