Or the fact that he quoted my quote of your post to respond to rather than your actual post. That would be insulting to me.
The person in question already knows why I am not engaging with him. He is free to take it to the mods. But I suggest he quote which rule he thinks I’ve broken. I would also point out that I think he has been very insulting to me in the last month or so.
This. This shit right here. This is fucking childish. And a perfect example of the entitled attitude you carry around with you.
Entitled attitude? I could maybe see someone thinking it childish, but entitled attitude?
Yep.
Mods would not intervene
Because they’re not at your beck and call to punish anyone you don’t like. That’s entitlement. Thinking the mods are your own personal police force that will ban anyone you complain to them about.
I never believed that the mods were at my beck and call. I certainly don’t believe they are my own personal police force. I know they are not.
so I took the only solution I could think of and decided to not engage with him anymore.
While loudly announcing so. Like a child telling his friend “Will you tell so-and-so that I’m not speaking to him anymore?” when so-and-so is sitting right there.
Loudly? I announced it so he and everyone else would know what I was doing and why. I did it in hopes that he would leave me alone. I admit it hasn’t worked the way I wanted.
You think everyone here has to treat you exactly the way you want them to treat you at all times, and if they don’t, they’re being unreasonable or bullying or harassing and you run and call for Wook or Jay.
No, I just think everyone should treat everyone with respect. But yes, if I feel harassed and bullied and I feel the rules have been violated, I will go to Jay and the mods. But believe me, they won’t do anything merely on my request. They will only do something if they believe something should be done and/or if they believe the rules were violated.
And sometimes they take your side just to shut you up for a while,
I guarantee you Jay and the mods don’t do that. They wouldn’t take my side just to shut me up. If they wanted to shut me up they would tell me to shut up.
When it’s so fucking easy to just stop responding and skip over people’s posts if you don’t like what they’re saying.
Not when they are continuing to make false accusations and insults about me, it is not “so fucking easy”.
That’s probably what I’m about to do with this conversation myself, though I guess that depends how you react to this post.
Well I can’t stop you if you wish to do that. I have participated in hopes I could understand where others are coming from and see whatever fault I share in this. Yet if you and others decide to cease the conversation, coming to an understanding will be impossible if it is not already.
I’m trying to help you understand how your behavior affects others, and how that affects the way they behave towards you. It’s created a feedback loop where you get offended or upset by one little thing and it just spirals until someone gets banned or leaves the forum in a huff.
It is possible that I have caused someone or multiple someones to leave the forum in a huff. But I don’t think anyone has ever been banned merely because I was offended. The Jay and the mods don’t like me enough to do that. Jay and the mods only ban people because they want to, not because of anything I do or say.
Believe it or not, I want to help you get to a point where you can enjoy coming here again and can interact with other posters without them feeling like there tiptoeing through a minefield. But I think it might be too late for that.
It may well be too late. I hope and wish it is not, but I do not honestly know. I honestly believe you are trying to help me, even if I do not agree with everything you say. I thank you for trying even if it does not work out.
