I’m sorry.
I think that’s a bit hyperbolic, but I don’t mean to discount your opinion.
Have you considered simply ignoring me?

to me, "full illy" is being annoying as fuck on every single bored.
I think you'd meet that criteria then.

Isn't Ousdahl something like 30-40 years old? Has he considered acting like an adult more often? The goofy/stupid/wannabe class clown thing has gotten old. Especially when the other half of the time he is masquerading around as an enlightened foreign relations expert.
Also Q, it's not everyone else's job to ignore you. I also tried that in the past. It is not how this game works. Almost everyone here is sick of you (at least right now) and doesn't enjoy you being here. You seem to refuse to accept that.
So now, everyday, you ruin most threads you touch, and think it's everyone else's fault, even though shockingly, almost everyone else gets along pretty well right now.

I think I'd try to make some friends in real life and give this place a rest, but that's just me.

The friendly advice was to leave for a while. For the good of everyone. Yourself included.
I am still hoping you consider and I click on a thread to see a new "deleteduser".

Ousdahl doesn't ruin every bored for me...he did, in my definition of full illy, just go full illy over the last couple days.

For the record, I met ousdahl ~ a year ago and although we didn't spend that much time together, he seemed like a great guy, and was easy to be around.

I think he's a sweet and good guy, who has been drawn into (and is now pot-committed to) corners that aren't good places to be.

The internet does weird things to people. I know this first hand. Especially when it feels like a landslide and you want it to stop, but also don't want to tuck tail and run from the conflict.
I believe he is probably more like the person you've met than the person he has become on here.

I think there are probably ( i don't read the poli-bored very often ) things he's said that actually have merit and are true and the general group in the poli-bored have probably 'gaslit' him etc. but there have been things i've read where he pulls a randy on the other end of the spectrum ( left vs right or whatever ) but a similar strategy - presenting an idea as fact/inferred as true with no evidence or a level of evidence of, say, me creating a blog here.

I would strongly disagree that any gaslighting has gone on. That is, in my opinion, a severe exaggeration and misuse of the term.
I generally feel that, intentionally or otherwise, the complaints about how he has been treated tend to minimize his part in things, and dramatically overstate the heat he is catching (and obscure what that heat is even
for).

Despite the intent of this thread - thanks to those who have offered kind words.
Im going to refrain from trying to discuss every single point brought up that’s worth discussing, cuz I know all too well it’s NOT worth discussing.
All I’d like to say for now is - by the very nature of the abuse, I think that more benefit of the doubt should be given to the gaslit, more so than the gaslighter.
So if someone says they feel gaslit, the more appropriate response is to pause, try to conjure a little humility, and at least be open to the idea that it’s happening; rather than to double down like, “I would strongly disagree!”

You should stop claiming to be a victim of something that is plainly not occurring.
If you think people are treating you unfairly, then say that.
But by continuing to seek out a position of victimhood through accusations of something that is plainly not occurring, you don't exactly keep a lot of high ground for claiming unfair treatment.
You are not being manipulated or coercively controlled, at least by anyone here. You are simply being told and shown, directly and out loud, that your reasoning is flawed as to some very particular and specific things.
