if he'd just stop trying so hard to score gotchas or both sides it up or ESPECIALLY trying to dominate convos way above his pay grade
I don't try to dominate convos tbh. And I concede, much really is above my pay grade. But, come on, I can't even express frustration about dems conceding to pubs on immigration issues without being antagonized as a Russian spam bot, again, even tho that's precisely the the sort of antagonism I've repeatedly requested the posters in question refrain.
that he could turn around the way he's treated around here.
acting like it's up to me to change how other posters treat me around here is...something.
He's hell bent on being a (the) driving force of discussion on this board on anything and everything political, even though he's way out of his league trying to display his intellectual superiority against these guys. It results in moving goal posts, poorly thought out arguments, and an almost 3 year old continous meltdown.
again, I don't mean to be the driving force of discussion. And I'm not hell bent on it. Sometimes I think a little perspective might be a good thing for pols bored discussions at large, but from my point of view, it's just not worth it if other posters are going to so aggressively reject the perspective. Believe it or not, I've forgone a lot of things I'd otherwise like to discuss, just cuz I know the discussion is going to go nowhere.
and, I just gotta say it: I think the biggest goal post movement on this here bored, is trying to discredit about absolutely everything on the basis of the Putin parrot bullshit.
He doesn't have to tailor his posting to anyone's liking. He's free to post however he wants.
please reconcile this with your previous comment about how I could turn around how other posters treat me.
But he'd be happier here if he changed....
sure?
I'd also be happier if other posters weren't so relentlessly putting me down about pretty much everything, but I suppose I can't change how other posters treat me.
Or can I?
Should I be free to post however I want, or should it be up to me to tailor to everyone else?
and for 3 days he avoided certain topics and everyone picked on Mich instead.
does there really have to be a poster everyone picks on? Buncha internet tough guys up in here.
And, as for the picking - I hope B2L won't mind me sharing a bit of our real life interactions, but I can't tell you how many times he's messaged me like, "yea everybody picks on mich cuz mich is a doofus, but holy shit ous, how'd you end up with so many other posters so shamelessly attacking you as a person"
And when he did post things (fish pics and some other things), several of us (me and Shirley come to mind) said nice things to him and tried to improve the harmony around here with him.
My worthless 2 cents.
yea, I've noticed. And I appreciate it. Thanks for being pleasant about pleasant things to post about besides pols bored bickering! Here's to harmony!
Know the sad part, tho?
I think it's pretty evident that so many posters would rather NOT enjoy all the other pleasant things to post about, and would rather carry a petty pols grudge against me to all the other boreds too - even despite my avoiding controversial pols topics on other boreds, and trying to stick to pleasantries and relevant discussions.
Not only that, but I've had posters who remain active to this day, who have burned bridges with me in real life.
And it's fucking tragic!
Now, if I was being annoying about pols bored shit to other posters in real life too, I wouldn't blame them. But, that's not the case, at all. It's more things like, deleting my number as a response to me sharing things like...fish pics.
After years of one another enjoying the sharing of things precisely like fish pics, at that!
again, it's a god damn tragedy.
stuff, just like I had/have to live with being called a t-shirt fan/Calipari fan occasionally. It'll get better over time (if behavior is adjusted).
