This thread is a strange one but I like how it has evolved. Of course it is a trainwreck but I find that interesting unto itself.
The callout? Still a little confused about what was going on there, but I know I was one of the parties under the spotlight so I muddled through confused. It gave me a bit of an opportunity to sledge and mock, Zegh...so what the Hell?
It was pretty obvious that each of us was as good or as bad as each other in the feuding. I said something to this effect around post #75.
Of course around here He makes it "clear" he is going on a month of "silent treatment" and will not respond to any "provocative bullshit".
It is a great line of bullshit isn't it? Who bought it? Hyke did I think
Zegh now is putting himself on a month of restraint. His responsibility to do that. His responsibility to decide what to do after that month too. My challenge, his responsibility.
and Odeon too...
Zegh and Hyke won, Zegh by deciding to accept the challenge for a month and Hyke for issuing the challenge to begin with.
You know who did not for one moment see any truth to Zegh's proclamations? Me!
I will tell you why? I identified a number of things he did to "sort things out" the so-called "silent treatment" was one, and it did not work. Not then and wouldn't now (in the same way going on holidays does not sort out troubles at home). Yet he chose to go on a period of silence and then he gave me and Psychofreak heads up on how long it would be. That was generous don't you think?
(Imagine a general sending a message to the opposing general that he was sending 300 troops to the north of the city he was at on midnight of the next night....and dear God, "No, Zegh, neither of us are in any way shape or form, generals).
So why did he say this? Virtue signalling. "I am really so much better than these two trolls. I am worthy and have substance. I am a victim in this and will prove it by one month of silence. Then if it does not work I will point it out and say "See!"" and thereby allowing him to maintain credibility as the "better man" who is a victim of circumstance, in the long-running feud.
The problem is that he is only virtue signalling and is not ACTUALLY wanting to take responsibility nor resolve things and he certainly does not want to forgo a chance at an insult. So he bitches to Butterflies, she comes in and stirs the pot again, and he starts throwing out insults from behind Butterflies. How he justifies this I don't know, it would likely be that he either:
a) Crossed his fingers when he promised
b) says he "just could not bear to hold his tongue because Butterflies (whatever bullshit)...."
c) felt like he had to defend his honour?
d) considered this "normal conversation" and not "provocative bullshit"
But its a lie and always was.
The thread had died and Butterflies decided to wade in and reanimate it. I am not that invested in the thread. Happy to keep throwing memes at it until it dies. It served its purpose of showing Zegh to be the liar and hypocrite he has been accused of by Psychofreak (I may have said something to that effect myself too). In breaking his promise (which you will not neither myself nor Psychofreak made, nor are bound by) he proves his dishonesty.
I think that is terrific.
And Zegh, if you are reading, cross "getting reinforcements" off your list of ways to "resolve" things and avoid responsibility or accountability. It did not and will not work. Neither did or will the "silent treatment". You did start things and you ought to
actually resolve them, because this is making you look really bad, and pissing off the forum, the longer this feuding goes on.
EDIT: I am not saying I am better than he for stirring shit out of him with memes and what not. No we are both rolling in the muck together but I will not pretend I am doing otherwise...that is the difference.
