so, "whack job, having imaginary friends, mentally challenged" doesn't attack entire demographics? 

 

And if that's what it takes for change to happen fine. But I guess you support bullies then which is obvious based on the nature of how things have transpired. 

 

As stated you have stayed silent this entire time while I have been continually harassed. You're a hypocrite plain and simple. 

I gave you my position on why your comment is worse. I have mentioned to @admin_270 that you are both at fault. I might be more likely to defend @Patine primarily because he's been here for like a decade. You're a new incoherent, rage-based person. You're one rant away from me blocking you.

So you admit your hypocrisy and I suppose, "mentally challenged whack job" doesn't offend you then. 

Good to know. 

 

Personally I don't mind your condescending nature, but it'd be nice if you allowed your logical/moral brain to outweigh your clear emotionally subjective bias. Would give you more legitimacy given you occasionally post interesting facts.

 

If ^ is a, "incoherent and rage based rant" feel free to block me  you're holding it over my head through multiple posts like a carrot as if I care at all lmao

Alright literally everyone leave this thread if its not about the election. Its off topic.

I'll admit it is light hypocrisy, possibly because I didn't read the comments he said to you. I was mostly offended on you using autism as a slur, that is what triggered me. I probably wouldn't have commented otherwise. I beg you to apologize to autistic people.

That says it all ^^^ and it's far more than "light" hypocrisy if you're trying to spin it that way lol. 

 

I apologize to others who I offended if my word choice was off, but I have no apologies regarding my post about that poster. 

 

Had I posted for example that post immediately after their 1st personal attack I could see things differently, but after 5 (!!) times it's beyond ridiculous.

What @PoliticalPundit doesn't seem to understand is the definition of the term "personal attack," on the Internet. Responding to someone's specific posts in a discussion or argument that shows a degree of misinterpretation, distortion, table-turning, and even a disingenuous partial quoting or misphrasing, and talking past someone, is not actually considered personal attacks. SURPRISE! And, admittedly, both he and I were doing the above things. "Imaginary friends," was used rhetorically, especially I had asked for clarification on a sweeping and absolutist statement obviously meant to silence and belittle my position, and had twice received no released. "Whack job," is pretty generic and limp nowadays - like calling someone a "fool." A personal attack, by definition, is either conjuring through whole-cloth, malicious lies, or building upon disingenuously what little is known about the poster in real life, and spinning slanderous, malignant, bigoted, loathsome, and vicious lies about them, based on no reality, either as an attempt at character assassination, or just out of bloody-minded spite. That is not what I did, but exactly what @PoliticalPundit did in his "stick-it-to-me," post @vcczar quoted.

do people actually buy this bullshit throughout 15K posts? I can spin my posts just as easily, the difference is once it's clear the conversation is over/blocked I don't repeatedly obsess and harass them continuously throughout the next 48 hours. 

do you deny harassment? 

 

and everything I said still rings true based on your posts. so no according to your logic, nothing I wrote either is a "personal attack" . 

[PoliticalPundit 284]

Imagine I didn't respond and just let him continually bully and harass me ongoing with no retribution.

 

How long? 10 more posts? 15 more posts? 2 more months? 5 more messages? 

 

Or bc I support an opposite viewpoint I'm just "supposed to take it" even when people don't even bother to read what happened to me before responding. funny someone would call for a ban without even reading what the other person had said then backtrack on it.

Holy hell what happened?

It's over. At least for me. I can't deal with people like him. He may rabbit on forever, but I don't care.

and this is why I said repeatedly they needed to stop mentioning my name by the 4th or 5th time or it would devolve into ^^^

I can't stand Trump, but even the idea of this is hilarious.  Like Willy Wonka coming out with the cane and then dropping into a somersault.

Patine does the same to me on this forum.  Honestly, the best course of action is to laugh and move on.  He is who he is, and he isn't going to change.  If it helps, he does not have a wide band of respect on this forum, for behavior exactly like this.

Nah I'll probably just keep making personal attacks until something happens or doesn't. 5x is more than enough to stay silent. 

 

 

He acts like a little spoiled baby who apparently repeatedly gets banned for making personal attacks and suffers no consequences. Go figure.

OK, letting both our interlocutors cool off for a day. Thread locked.
