I'm not because the second half of the post that I removed was me admitting my posting style is adversarial - or rather what often compels to post is the chance to point out that someone is wrong. Because of the way I'm perceived here it's hard for people to admit they're wrong and concede defeat to me, so things spiral until I get called autistic or they continue to embarass themselves
I'm not out to wage war on the forum.
If we want to talk about vague "patterns of behaviour" and "attitudes towards posters" - I will happily admit to having in my sights people who complain all over the forum about woke, DEI, Disney, grooming to the extent they call "Zendaya frowning in Dune is woke" hypocrites for being first in line to go see Deadpool 3. And some posters said I was doing the Lords work in pointing out the hypocrisy
The movie/TV thread stuff was ONLY about realising that
spronk
had me on ignore and realising I could block out his shitty takes if I made threads first, then
Bandwagon
for making multiple posts even threads trying to get people to put me on ignore. It had nothing to do with a larger list or the forum as a whole. And nobody was even aware they were being rustled until I pointed out said rustling. You can call it Schrodingers Rustle.
CONFESSION TIME: Some of the Vince McMahon sexual depravity quotes I posted were made up - but nobody noticed because they fit in with the actual genuine depravity
Sports Entertainment so again, if anyone didn't know they were being trolled were they really being trolled?
The movie/TV forum is objectively worse now - that's a fact. PLUS I was constantly moaned at for making threads for irrelevant movies but nobody says anything even though
kroenen
has multiple threads with single digit views.
That's why I'm a firm believer in sometimes the complaints will be false. But if you want to pin that on reputation/history and making a rod for my own back I can accept that.
Likewise for the celeb deaths thread - yes some are irrelevant but I'm not the only one posting irrelevant celebs, no mod is yet to intervene in that thread, posting UK celebrities doesn't make them irrelevant. If one person complains about a post but others know who it was - why does that one persons complaint take precedence over the recognition?
Just as with the Hebrew, it was one person complaining whilst others played along - so why does his complaint carry more weight just because it's me?
And in answer to
Chris
I post sincerely in home theatre and virtually everywhere else. If I post in politics it's either to point out someone was wrong or because I saw something interesting on Twitter. I don't take a position to play devils advocate. I'm passionately anti-woke which is I'm passionately pro-Jew/Israel.
I am living almost exclusively off semi-passive income that in order to maintain/grow requires me to run multiple social media accounts. I'm glued to my phone which is why I post a lot of stuff from tiktok or instagram eg in paranormal thread.
Some people might take offence and complain about my paranormal posts (even though
MusicForFish
is a bigger clown in that thread) some people might mistake that for trolling, but it's almost entirely a consequence of social media algorithms knowing that you watched something then shared it then serving you up more of the same
Which is why
TJT
asking the question "why do you keep posting that fagogt" which prompted the first Hebrew reply the legit answer was because I'm way too deep in Jew-tok/gram and the algorithm keeps giving me more.
The real place where I can be adversarial/confrontational is movies/tv and that's almost entirely a result of shitty takes and terrible opinions, or people being hypocrites.
So what this really comes down to, is whether one persons complaint has the power to get me disciplined no matter how flimsy or pathetic that complaint is. Look at
Mist
pointing out the movie thread stuff - nobody was actually prevented from contributing, all they had to do was click "show ignored content". I frequently see threads on the recent activity section that I have to unignore when I go into the actual forum
