omg the embarassment of social dynamics

[ZEGH8578]

on the other forum where i post
some old troll has returned, and he has created a clique. hes gotten his own lapdog cocksucker follower, and together they are passing out "signature membership stickers" to those they aggree with, mostly forum favorites

so... 1st thought: childish, no?

well, the forum favorites, the "oldies", the grown up responsible people... are falling for it like whores
not only that
the only one (other than me) to "stand up against them" is a 15 year old girl, whom they are gang-bullying, while hi-fiving each others. not only that, but she is pwning the fuck out of them - AND getting moderator warnings and ban warnings for mouthing off.
since then no more than 2 other people are protesting this behaviour, while being repeatedly warned by the same whore of a moderator.

im just speechless...

i _did not know_ that people could be this... weak... and cowardly...
i just... i thought i was a cynical man, who knew that crowds are weak, but i am really surprised at the level of cowardice found in crowds today...
im talking people in their 30s...

i PM'ed them too, telling them to grow the fuck up, and what do they do?
they get all polite with me - in PM - "lets be civil. its just for fun."
i tell them to suck dick, and theyre STILL civil - in PM - "aw dont say that lets be friends"
back in public "LOL UR A LOSER! UR ON WELFARE ARENT U! U IDIOT!"

GROWN PEOPLE...

im not a tough guy. im really not
but irl, i would kick their asses through the week and back again. and thats coming from a geeky aspie.

i am SO dissapointed in people...

i just had to vent...

Sounds famliar to what I went through on Boston dot com last month. Everyone ganged up on the Aspie when one person decided I must be lying. Next thing I know I am persona non grata. These were mostly people in their 40s teasing me and trying to run me off the blog. It got to the point of being so immature and the pack mentality was just bullshit. It is a big clique on there.

[Trigger 11]

I am planning on going to their next social gathering to prove my point. Given my record of social interaction it is more likely to be an epic fail, but I am going to record it.

[ZEGH8578]

yes, the sad truth is, the group often ends up winning
the moderator is on their side,
im one warning away from a ban allready

its just so dissapointing. i HOPED people were mentally stronger than this...

[bodie]

Don't delete your account - but just quit posting there for a while!
Before you get banned.

You can still go back in the future then,  when the troll thing
has gone back under their bridge,  as it inevitably will.

It's only a fucking internet forum. If you don't like it then leave and find a more suitable place.

[ZEGH8578]

schleed, im fully aware of that. its just i am dissapointed in people in general. this whole time i _really_ thought grown men were above bullying KIDS ffs... in a group, to feel tough about themselves, and from there it just tops itself off again and again, moderators hi-fiving them etc.
like i said, i thought myself a cynical guy who knew peoples lowest of the low, but i was surprised...
ive hung w those people, and various incarnations of those forums for 10 years, and this is the first time i see such behaviour unfolding in such a glaringly cowardly manner...

bod, im not the type to rage quit, delete accounts or anything. i have never done that. but you are of course absolutely right about ignoring them. i should of course have ignored them earlyer, but... not trying to sound super-noble here, but i _cannot stand_ open bullying like that... of course, im not gonna get any more involved w them, cus that'd lead to the incoming banhammer on my part for sure.

Could you link us to the forum / threads in question?

I like to see things with my own eyes no offence. 

[bodie]

10 years is a long time.  Usually people show their true colours much earlier.  I think it is reasonable
to assume a certain percentage of them are just being sheep and will come to their senses at some
point.

[midlifeaspie]

That kind of shit happened every day at WP.

[ZEGH8578]

squid, i woulda posted it on the first page, im not really interested in even providing them any further pageviews... i just wanted to vent my frustration

bod, oh they did, but 10 years ago they were 17-18, so... a whole forum of angsty teens, such was much more to be expected, besides the forums back then had thousands of members. today theres only a couple of tens of active posters,
thing is, an ooold troll came back, and so, so, successfully managed to rile things up again.
of course i "danced to their tune" by letting myself be baited, but i dont care when that means trying to defend someone whos being completely ganged up on...
just annoying.

at least it seems to have calmed now, i urged her to ignore them completely as well, since they were mostly having fun at her reaction (again, SO brave of them! )

Post a link to the site. Maybe Sir_Les could have some fun. And Rage as well. Unless they do a Plank and IP ban, Rage and Sir_Les could keep sockpuppets going for as long as those 'tards want to play their game. But then again, it might just be a wasted effort, as these assholes seem too immature to know any better.

i would, but no
as much as i squint at that whole forum, its a strict part of my aspie-routine for a decade. if they got ANY wind of my bringing people over purely to troll, there would be no mercy towards me, im allready hanging by a thread in there, due to my aspie-tendency to recieve multiple warnings

i have decided to ignore it (WELL DONE ZEGH!!!), i talked that girl into doing the same thing, and now i notice they are desperately trying to bully someone else, again, a too-easy target... but im staying away from that whole drama for now.
one of them actually pm'ed that first girl, to ask HER a favor, to not be so rude or something.
the cowardice knows NO limits

I went and had a look at that thread myself. It looks like the main point of their little AD club is just to wind people up. I think the best thing would be for you and Westyane to let them play their silly game, and then mock them for their failure to produce anything worthwhile, despite their self-important BS about changing the world.

And for some reason, Brads AD logo reminds me of the logo for Britains got talent.

we are ignoring them well now.
thing iiis
they didnt start this "out of the blue"

caligula is an eager neo nazi, and brad is quite the fascist himself, which makes it quite easy for an autist (an untermänsch) to get a bit annoyed by them.
caligula created his AD, to actually "convert" people, he is a complete narcissist.
some people joined him to troll HIM
which is why in my first replies, i am simply just trying to get through to him... i know, i shouldnt have bothered.
from there on, it turns into bully-camp

the thread was finally locked by the owner of the page, but the bullying continues in chat etc, forcing many members to simply stay out of there.
