The "Let's Hug It Out" Thread (we all like SW, can't we be friends?) — Page 4

Ye.

It's all in the quality of the responses.

You wanna know something?  I like Warbler.  We find ourselves at opposite ends of the argument on numerous occasions, but I consider him a friend here on OT.com.  You wanna know something else?  Ever since the outing of XyZ (all I knew about ABC prior to that was that he had been banned), I've really grown tired of reading his posts.  It seems like every other post is some obnoxious jab at Warbler, and the rest are nonsensical or rude towards someone else.  Knock it off.

You know something? I like XyZ. I hardly understand every other sentence he writes, but I consider him a one of my favourite sock accounts here on OT.com.You wanna know something else? Regardless of the intrusive holier than thou prudery of the deities some of you folks chose to genuflect to of an evening, I admire every one of you lot on here like you were my very own self. Keep up the good work chaps.

Someone's been drinking again.

Pot, meet kettle.  I rarely make heads or tails of what Bingo says and it's only gotten worse with time.  Perhaps the problem lies with me?

And not to turn this into an attack thread, but your copycat-in-jest posts like the one above probably confound me the most.

But you see my comment wasn't a criticism, I like that I can't understand every other sentence he writes it inspires me to attempt to from time to time and if you don't understand why I posted what I posted I'll explain it to you.

This is the internet.

There is enough real conflict in the world based on arcane prejudice and provincial sectarianism without adding pretend conflict in a virtual world.

I like everyone on here I don't always like what they say but or what they profess to believe, especially when it adds to bad odour in the real world which leads to torture, murder and war but on the whole, within the full balance of things everyone here is fine by me.

Mysteries and enigmas are a call to a quest for knowledge.

You can choose to accept that call and look up what confuses you or ignore it.

Or moan about it.

It's your life, your internet life, do what you like.

for once, I am going to respond to bingo.

1.  I love how he says "this is the internet"  as if that means he is justified in saying and doing whatever he wants, no matter how rude, insulting, obnoxious, and/or condescending.    Sorry, but I fail to see how it works like that.   Right and wrong are still right and wrong whether you are on the internet or not.  

2. it is not a total virtual world in that the people posting here are real human beings.  They have hearts, minds, and feelings.   It is not pretend.

Right or wrong are subjective terms, you refer to my contributions as rude, insulting, obnoxious and/or condescending but others may consider your contributions in exactly the same way.

Warb you may not be interested in my opinion but that doesn't mean I have to edit myself or bite my lip and keep quiet in this virtual realm just because you wish it.

You are not the centre of my universe.

You have had me on ignore for ages and presumably unignored me enough to quote my post which was only related to yourself by the remotest of tangents so presumably you have a degree of interest in my opinion or you wouldn't have gone out of your way to read it.

Passive aggression and out of sight gossip are facets of my personality which I do at least try to keep under control.

I don't rally around to try and build up a body of opinion to get other people banned or use the facilities provided by someone to help form a break away group to distance myself from decisions I don't agree with.

Try doing that sort of thing in the real world and you will find yourself facing a very rude awakening.

I also don't go around wishing death on people or hurling fowl language at them for making harmless visual jokes.

Lighten up for crying out loud, bury that persecution complex and just live a little.

true,  but you seem to think the terms disappear once you get on the net.  They don't

no one is telling you to bite your lip,  what  I am telling you is to stop targeting me.  Quit judging me.    Giving your opinion is one thing, targeting and judging me and insulting me for the fun of it is another.   There are a billion other things to give your opinion,  I just want you to stop giving your opinion on 1 subject: me.

I was pretty sure the post was about me.   So I read it.   Also somethings threads won't make sense when you take out some posts, so I am unfortunately forces to read a few of your posts.

I don't have the power to ban people.  Nor do I have great influence on Jay or the mods.   The fact that abc is still here should make that abundantly clear.   I haven't really tried to get anyone banned for years on this forum.   I know did it in the past, but I am trying to avoid that now.   But still, some acts are ban worthy.   As for beak away groups, are you referring the FE stuff?   That was awhile ago.  I made mistakes in the past, I admit it.    However, if I don't like how a forum is run, I have ever right to leave.   What is wrong with that?

1. your jokes aren't harmless. 

2. when you continue to keep annoying someone over and over and over and over and over,  even after they've made it crystal clear to you that you are annoying them,  you can expect to have people lose their tempers with you and throw foul language in your direction.   If you act like an ass, expect to be called one.

3. I never seriously wished death on you.   Maybe I once or twice said "eat s*** and die" or something like that, but that is not the same as seriously wishing you death.

persecution complex?   I bury it when people stop persecuting me. 

tell me bingo, if someone where to call you that six letter word that begins with an f and has two gs, would that be ok cause its the net is it all pretend?   If you were to get upset at it, should someone just tell you to get over it and lighten up and bury the persecution complex?   If someone did that to you over and over again and you knew the mods weren't going to ban that person, would you be wrong for putting them on ignore?

btw, I am not saying what you've done is the same as using a bigoted term.   

I presume you mean faggot?

Well, it would all depend on the context.

If I was feeling a bit down in the dumps and someone said, "Cheer up you silly old faggot" I would probably break into a smile, I might even laugh.

I take umbrage at the notion that just expressing my sexuality is immoral but I address the message not the messenger.

Moth3r once compared me to Troy off Benidorm and I've run with that gag ever since. That was as much a comment based on my proclaimed sexual preference as much as my look and I'm chuffed that he is comfortable enough with me to pull my leg on both angles.

I haven't been persecuting or targeting you Warb, I hardly ever comment on you.

If you were to tally up my comments, the share even remotely relating to you is going to be tiny and when I do you presumably hardly ever read it because I'm perennially on your ignore list.

I sympathised when your dog was ill, I supported you on your charity fun run which you were kind enough to thank me for.

If it helps you to believe I'm stalking your every move in a sinister fashion please do.

I don't give a monkeys.

It doesn't seem a very healthy delusion though.
