How desperate would you have to be...

[Davetello]

to threaten someone with legal action over internet arguments, and imply that their posts could be viewed as terrorism? Fvck, I just can't believe it :lol: Without doubt the most pathetic thing I've seen on a forum in years.

[Amaranthus]

Please stop overreacting.

[Davetello]

Yes, I'm the one who's overreacting. The guy who threatens legal action on forums and compares aggressive posts to terrorism... he's very grounded.

Stick to hating on feminists.

By the way, you should know that I've never liked Belgium and you're certainly not helping matters.

[pennydreadful]

... do I dare ask?

[DarthRaphael]

... do I dare ask?

The celebrity bitching thread.

[IndigoErth]

It might just be a cartoon, but there's good advice in TMNT sometimes, such as that "like water over stone" line from Splinter.

Just not worth continuing a battle sometimes. I've seen friends, ok one online friend, proceed to do more damage to herself than her retaliation ever inflicted on anyone else she was upset with. Mostly it just resulted in her getting banned. Sure, she was mad and didn't care at the time, but once the dust was settled, then what. All that really happened is we could no longer enjoy something together that we both liked. Wish she had looked ahead a bit more and considered what was more worthwhile, a fun mutual interest/hobby we'd been involved in for a couple years or momentary online warfare that took it away.

[pennydreadful]

Can't we all just get along?

[Davetello]

Accusing someone of terrorism by posting on a message board, and threatening legal action over a few ad homs. Particularly when the other guy instigated it.

This ninja wannabe has seriously forfeited the right to call himself a man. I wonder how many cvcks he had to suck to get into the law business.

And people know it will be a travesty if I'm banned, since these other scumbags browse the forums spewing nothing but agenda-riddled negativity. I've created some thoughtful threads and in my time here I've offered more than Peanut has in his 14 years. Plenty of people are on my side, and we all know what's going on here. I'm the one who's most outspoken about it, that's all. Others simply can't be bothered or are too scared to speak out against the hierarchy.

[Candy Kappa]

How desperate would you have to be...

To excessively name call people, wish people harm and being hospitalized, making snide remarks on people's gentialia.

[plastroncafe]

Bring up the recent passing of one's grandmother, and go out of one's way to insult another person's significant other.

All while utilizing the very height of sexist and ableist language.

[Candy Kappa]

It's so much it's hard to keep track on it.

[The Stryker]

Bring up the recent passing of one's grandmother, and go out of one's way to insult another person's significant other.

Whoa when did the first one happen? That's f*cked up.

[plastroncafe]

Whoa when did the first one happen? That's f*cked up.

That's current. Over in the celebrity thread.
Apparently I didn't mourn her death enough and now I'm a sociopath.
Probably because of my gaping vagina and beta-male boyfriend.

[Candy Kappa]

Whoa when did the first one happen? That's f*cked up.

From the horse's mouth

You weren't even that bothered when your own grandparent expired. I've never seen you display a sliver of empathy or compassion for another person. You're a sociopath.


And you can't take the moral high ground for many, many reasons. One of the biggest being that you didn't even care when your gran died. You do realise that you exhibit all the signs of a psychopath, yes? You get upset over nothing, and never show any human warmth or humour. You don't even answer your comments, then you make cowardly excuses about why..

[The Stryker]

Yeesh. What the hell is even going on anymore?

[ZariusTwo]

Dave, I get that you're a proud man and have a sharp and sure intolerance for injustice, but If you have any issue, just PM me and you can vent about it to someone who will understand you and WILL listen. There is no shame in keeping some of these thoughts private rather than public, it is'nt running away from the issue either because you would have an audience for it, it's just if you keep this up, your stay won't be a long one, and you'll have vindicated the people you have an issue with.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Dave, just stop with all this please. There is no need at all.

[IndigoErth]

There's a full moon, isn't there.

Bringing it up at all is f*cked up. You have no right to talk about anyone's family.

Seriously, do you want to eat plastron out or something? Why are you so desperate to assassinate me, tattling on me and quoting my posts like a snitch. I never see you do it with anyone else so why me? You clearly intensely dislike me. That's fine, I don't care, but I'm sick of you piling on again me.

[Candy Kappa]

If you took a second glance over your last posts you'd see why. You've been very vile, not the fist time. And honestly, it's making the place less enjoyable.

And I am so tired of your damn outburst over the select few you seem to be very volatile about.

[Davetello]

I'm well aware of what could happen. If that does happen though and they remain it will simply confirm what I've said all along. They are systematically wumming me, and loving. They want this reaction, don't let them fool you.

Without boasting, I also add far more to the site than any of them (when in a good and thoughtful frame of mind), so maintaning them and losing me is the site's loss (at least if I could be serene all the time and not lose my temper when provoked).

The thing that got to me was Ninja calling me a bully, whilst refusing to castigate Peanut. Also threatening me with legal actions and comparing my actions to terrorism. That is fvcking disgusting and it's no wonder I'm in the mood I'm in.

Thanks for the offer though.

[plastroncafe]

Clearly I should have climbed in the casket, taken a selfie, and put it up on Instagram. I wonder if they even make caskets wide enough for legs as splayed as mine are apparently always are. No wait! I'm frigid! Or am I a skank! GAH! It's so hard to keep these sexist slurs straight in my head.

Aye, I've been vile. The rest have been lovely though. Why do you never tell peanut, or Cure, that they've been vile? I know why you don't say anything to plastorn - because you idolise her as a fellow feminist. What you don't realise is that she isn't a feminist, she's a misandrist.

As for making the place less enjoyable - 95% of Cure's posts are laced with sarcasm. He has never ever put any thought into any of his posts, which is the opposite to what I often do. Peanut does nothing but moan about how we're all losers who are destroying the section. Why don't you tell them that they're making the place less enjoyable?

you can say what you like, but your perspective is far from the universal or even majority opinion. There are many people who are on my side - they admit (as do I) that I take things too far when angry and blow my top with attacks (after provoked). But they see the arguments I make beyond all of that nonsense and they're with me 100%

You might like to think that I'm a universally despised outcast, but it's far, far from the reality.


That doesn't surprise me Stryker :lol:

[Katie]

This is what I don't get...just because you aren't speaking about your grief publicly? I mean, up until yesterday the doctors said my dad only had two months to live, And I certianly didn't run to the Internet to cry about it. Why would anyone do that?

[Davetello]

The old straw man fallacy. Your lack of intellectual integrity disgusts me. Oh, and I hate attention seeking on social media. Proving once more that you know the square root of fck all about me, despite thinking you have me sussed.

As for your last couple of sentences - you're really, really **** at being condescending. And it's the same tone in every post. Please stop your witless inanity.

You're incapable of debate. I'm questioning your education. Send me some of your essays to verify.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Ah, c'mon guys... I think there's way too much tension on this forum as it is without you all having a silly row about not really liking each other. :ohwell:

[Davetello]

This is what I don't get...just because you aren't speaking about your grief publicly? I mean, up until yesterday the doctors said my dad only had two months to live, And I certianly didn't run to the Internet to cry about it. Why would anyone do that?

No, it's because she said she wasn't really that bothered as they weren't close.

Some of you seem to do that thing where you talk about what someone is arguing, without being aware of what the content of the posts in question were. Do you think I would say she doesn't care about her gran dying just because she didn't talk about it? Wise up. It's because she said it wasn't a big deal and was more of an inconvenience practically.

Now, unless her aunt was Jane Toppan, I find that fvcking awful. Close to someone or not you should be upset when a relative passes.

[plastroncafe]

Here's the thing: The only reason he even knows about my grandmother's death at all is because he tried to level my non-response to a comment he made in a thread as my being a jerk and ignoring him.

And when I told him about the epic ton of stuff in my life that had befallen me in a very short duration of time, making it difficult for me to keep track of every thread on this board I've commented on, he lost it.

Oh sure he said he was sorry about my grandmother then, but now...apparently I didn't cry enough. And now, from beyond the grave, he's insinuating that she'd be happy that some random nobody on the internet is attempting to take the piss out of me.

What he doesn't know is that she was not only English, but a spectacular racist as well and would have given him the dressing down of his life.

Well...I guess he knows now.

[Peanut]

How...is this even happening to this degree...and it two separate threads?

Ahh, so you finally attempt to make a substantial post, and it's full of sh!t. I see now why you don't bother.

It wasn't a non-response, it was because you accused me of asking a sexist question. Even many of the other women implied you had an agenda. They KNOW what you're like. Jenna, MarvelDuckie, another couple whose names escape me - they were embarrassed by you, as women.

I didn't lose anything either, I said fair enough. The other stuff was understandable, but I was taken aback when you said you didn't really care. Didn't seem fair to say so but my true feelings are coming to the fore now. You disgust me for that.

So, because she was racist and English, she doesn't deserve to be thought of in death? I'm not sure what her being English has to do with anything - unless you're implying that she would hate me for being Scottish as a result.

My gran died too, she had plenty of flaws. For someone who fancies herself as an intellectual you seem oblivious to the fact that our grandparents were from a far more conservative generation where racism was tolerated and celebrated. Now, that doesn't make them or it right, but you should show some sympathy for how they were raised. You were born in 70s or 80s Boston, and things will have been reasonably better than when your gran was a young woman. I thought you studied social science?

And your gran couldn't have given me any sort of dressing down.

How...is this even happening to this degree...and it two separate threads?

You lit the blue touch paper. You do this a lot - make judgemental comments not directed at a specific person. You don't understand that it's not necessary. I'm copping a lot of flack but have you ever seen me go into a topic, tell people they're useless and ******** up the place, and then exit? I never do that. But you do. As I said, your comments would have some merit if you were actively trying to improve this perceived poor quality. But you don't. You don't create any threads in everything else, you don't create any meaningful posts. So why are exactly are you moaning? You're gonna get a sharp one in the neck when all that glass shatters.

[plastroncafe]

How...is this even happening to this degree...and it two separate threads?

Someone's cursed us to live in "Interesting Times."

[Davetello]

I want you to acknowledge that your gran was from a generation where racism was tolerated and therefore her mindset was hard to change. It's the same reason I bang my mug against brick walls when old people drone on about the monarchy. It irritates me, but I know why they're like that. It's difficult for people to alter the beliefs they've held for a lifetime.

I will also apologise for some of the horrible things I said. I regret them but I was backed into a corner. I turn into someone else when it happens, it's baffling. I just can't control it. It's no excuse, but my brain is simply wired differently. I have severe chemical imbalances which aren't being controlled because I haven't taken my meds for weeks. I am bipolar & prone to depression, so in these moments I just can't control myself. I am weary of the world at the best of times so this feels like persecution (I bet plastron will reply with, "you're right, it isn't, so why mention it").

I did have one guy on another site say that I'm a great and learned guy but I need to stay off the internet and forums. Possibly an accurate comment.

I guess it's clear why I say I identify with Raphael in these moments.

[Jester]

It's threads/arguments like these that make coming to this forum such a joy anymore...

Everybody just get off of each others backs. This kind of stuff is why I seemingly overreact and attempt to lock whole sections.

[BabyTurtles]

I'm not sure how all of this went down.....

but sometimes it helps to take 5 minutes away from your computer before you answer someone who may have insulted you.

it helps to think about their side of view and give you a chance to think of a better response that isn't insulting back.

2 wrongs don't make a right after all :) I know no ones perfect but we can all try to be nicer to each other around here.

[Davetello]

Mate, there would be no problem if Peanut didn't judge people for their threads, or plastron didn't shove her misandrist nonsense in everyone's mugs.

Why can't people see the real issue here? Has anyone ever seen me take a shot at anyone out of the blue? Unless they did it to me first, or were being pr!cks to someone else? When have I ever done it?

I try to be nice and welcoming to new posters, try to get on with everyone. It's these other guys who are spreading negativity around.

I mean I was one of the people who was accused of '******** the joint up', because I created topics on homophobia, serial killers and euthanasia. These are common intellectual topics on every forum on the net, yet when I and other create these heavy topics we're accused of turning the place into a cesspool?

Why do Peanut an certain others frown on heavy debate? I don't even want to continue this tit for tat nonsense, I'd just really like to know why.

[Davetello]

See, he refuses to answer. I try to appeal to his better nature - I want to hear a civil explanation where he explains WHY he finds those threads unsavoury. I ask him, I want to know. But he just ignores the plea. How can anything ever be resolved that way? It's impossible to understand him because he states that he has problems with things but he won't explain why in intricate detail. He just pisses on a thread and then doesn't explain what the problem is.

I give up, Peanut.

[Davetello]

Those posts were clearly in jest, there was no venom behind them. There is venom behind the posts you guys make.

Fvck, how can you misrepresent your posts like this? To actually hold that 'serial killer of celebrities' discussion against us is completely and utterly pathetic. Go back & read it and you'll see there was no malice there whatsoever.

And Cure, that's the only thing you keep mentioning, because it's all you have,. Your brain doesn't understand how to formulate an argument about anything else, so you keep on typing 'murdering celebrities', 'murdering celebrities' constantly. You have serious deficiencies, and it's genuinely frustrating as hell for someone like me to have to continually point them out.

Are you two just deliberately being obtuse?

I was referring to the general threads - such as mines on euthanasia, serial killers, homophobia. You guys are OBSESSED with that jokey little discussion, there wasn't even any malice behind it. You two have said far worse. Is that all you can mention? Get a grip.

This is emblematic of the problem here. Stryker makes his point then plastron can't just leave it be, she has to stoke the fire with a sarcastic, dismissive little banter response. Then Cure jumps in. It's spineless and pathetic and I'm fvcking sick of it. I asked a heartfelt answer and have to put up with her sarcastic nonsense in reply. I asked a fair question and get hit with this clique's sarcasm. Surely people can see this nonsense?

Grow the fvck up and answer the question - why does he have a problem with euthanasia, serial killer and homophobia topics?

Some of you egged a guy on when he was suicidal. Infinitely worse than jokey comments about killing celebrities who will never even read the posts in the first place.

You people are completely insufferable. It's amazing you function in society at all. Do you have any shame? There's a good number of you and the only person on this side is me. You're all ganging up on one person. It's cowardly in the extreme and I've been pushed to extreme levels, as confirmed by about 5 people PM'ing me and saying they can understand why I've reacted as I have.

[Peanut]

See, he refuses to answer.

Or...I was cooking dinner for my family? I don't live my life through the Internet and when I do check in it's usually on my phone for quick glances, where posting anything is more hassle than it's worth.

Either way, how is it so difficult for you to understand why I think that thread was trash? It was a thread that immediately devolved into talk about murdering people. The last time I said something, it was because you guys were going around in multiple threads sh*t posting about nonsense to each other. I thought you started your little group for the expressed purpose of keeping that stuff off of the forums proper?

And regardless of why I said it, there is absolutely zero reason for you to act the way that you do under any circumstances. No troll, no joke poster, no suicide account, has ever acted the way you do when you go on one of your little tirades. Ever.

I don't live on the internet either, well until the last month. It's just that I log out every time I go offline, even for ten minutes. Apologies.

Why can't any of you people see past that thread. Please.Try.To.Forget.That.Topic.And.Think.Of.Other s. Your 'cesspool' comment came long, long before last night's murder fantasy nonsense. I'm asking you why you have a problem with topics about homophobia, serial killers and their psychology, and euthanasia. Why do you think topics about subjects which are hotly contested and major talking points in academia are '******** up the site'. Explain why you have a problem with them? And for the love of fvck, don't mention last night's serial killer celebrity sh!t again because I'm asking about the stuff that transpired long before that arrived.

I've seen how you've acted in the past. My behaviour is less than stellar but I will never take lessons in morality or etiquette from you. Please don't.

Finally, I have no idea what a suicide account is, although I can probably guess how the user would behave.

I didn't post in any of those threads...at all.

I'm finding it extremely difficult not to be a complete cvnt here.

That guy - Master Turtle is it? - created a topic saying he was leaving. He listed 7 topics which disturbed him, those three were in the list. You came in and said "all those topics are full of the usual suspects ******** up the joint, you shouldn't want to go near them".

So, despite the fact that you did not post in the topics, you were clearly implying that those threads were trash. Now, you could have meant because they degenerated into banter, but they actually didn't for the most part. We can therefore conclude that if you read them (despite not posting in them) you have a problem with the debate of the subject matter, the serious nature of it.

So, I ask again: why do you think that serious discussion of euthanasia, serial killers and homophobia makes for a poor quality general section, when these are highly debated topics on practically every forum and people appreciate them, rather than thinking they sh!t on the joint?

Do I really have to make you see this by presenting your views on neutral forums and have them confirm en masse that it's fvcking borderline surreal to think that discussions of social issues is a bad thing on forums?

Please try to answer the question posed. Don't deflect by saying 'I wasn't interested in those threads'. That isn't what is being asked.

Fvcking hell, you are intolerable. I have to explain EVERYTHING to you step by step.

[Peanut]

1) I didn't read the threads.
2) I don't care what people discuss.
3) You and Leo tend to go back and forth with your nonsense in every thread you're in.
4) I'm not posting here anymore.

[Davetello]

More deflections than Frank Lampard. You're just incapable of answering, aren't you? That's it. You have absolutely no clue of how to construct a detailed, intricate response so you don't even try. You did admit you are a poor writer, after all. But you could at least try. It takes real guts to try and fail. Not even trying is poor form.

And whatever you think of Leo and I, we're not half as irritating as you and your fiance Cure.

Holy sh*t this thread

[Davetello]

When did North America become so sanitised? In Europe soccer fans are always joking about hoping rival players break their legs, or get a kicking in a nightclub. On here someone makes a joke about fighting or killing a famous person and all hell breaks loose.

And your NFL meatheads say that we're the pussies because our sport isn't as violent? Lol, how the tables have turned.
