2018 in a nutsack.

[Queen Victoria]

A simple question about nutsacks in general ...

Why is it that, as these horridly huge nutsacks grow larger and larger, they begin to ITCH more than ever and also become almost impossible to scratch?

Metaphor? Real life? Dunno, grow one and see!

No thank you.  My two boobs are quite enough to handle. (I'm a DD and The PR is larger than me.  I have to put not only my boobs in a bra, but hers.  Sometimes I think I'm doing nothing more than handling watermelons that won't listen.

I'd blame the lice

So, not a metaphor?

Who knows? It still could be.

[Calandale]

Come up with something new, will ya.

Sure. Just stop being such a FUCKING BABY


(notice - everything involving you devolves into this kind of conversation. Not everything
involving me, Scrap, Al, any other admin here ever....

That should be a clue as to where the problem is - assuming you've been too fucking
dense, wrapped up in your own warm diapers, to notice)

Straw man after straw man after straw man. Change the fucking record already.

No straw man. Just observations.

Ones anyone can see.

A lie isn't any less of a lie if you repeat it.

Nor does something become one, if the FUCKING BABY pretends it is.

Do you REALLY believe that changing people's words, obfuscating what they say, and relegating
their speech to specific, out of the way corners of the site, based upon your personal opinion alone,
when they are raising issues about how you've administrated the site is NOT an abuse of power?

Because, you haven't ever stated that, AFAIK.

There are other examples, but I'd be right curious about the mind that can do such things.

(1) Yes. There is no middle ground. Any action taken by anyone with extra buttons can become endless drama, can be the grounds for confected outrage.

Disagree. There are plenty of spaces, for example corporate-owned forums, where it's in the TOS that the owners can do what they want. That doesn't by any means spare them from drama. There is an endless supply of people lulled into getting personally invested in places, whether they are "free" or not. Time spent there becomes an illusion of ownership. Democracy doesn't spare a space from drama either, otherwise politics would be an uncontentious issue. 

I saw something on the news recently about an enormous fatberg that was discovered in a sewer, and I realized something. This place isn't a dustbin and it isn't even a sewer. It's the internet equivalent of a fatberg. Because the crap just gets stuck and never goes anywhere.

Overall I agree with you. I've been on plenty of internet forums. There are always drama llamas who get butturt when a moderator uses their buttons, and those drama llamas either get over it or they don't last long. Problem solved either way. Personally, if I don't like the way that the admins and mods run a site I will have my say, calmly and rationally, and then I'll either get over it and stay or I'll get over it and go somewhere else. Because that's part of being a grown up, learning to get over shit.

But the reality is that in I^2, the fatberg of the internet, if someone disagrees with an admins use of a button or with an admins enforcement or interpretation of a rule, that just becomes fuel for a bunch of stupid neverending grudges and butthurt and drama. And it's never let go of, and it's never forgotten.

As I said, people who refuse to get over shit don't last long at other places. What happens to people who get banned everywhere else? Guess where they end up? The one place where it's nearly impossible to get banned. I^2 doesn't work like other places, and expecting it to work like other places and for people to get over shit or leave like they do in other places, obviously doesn't work.

So a rule that works elsewhere, it's obviously not working here. Because that butthurt and spite will eventually see this place close down altogether.

Yep. The surprising thing is that the site ended up pretty much in the hands
of a FUCKING BABY who can't help but abuse the buttons though.

You'd think the self selection wouldn't have attracted the type who like to use
the admin panel for bullying.

I guess it takes that kind of drive to keep the place open though. Gotta get enough
kicks somehow.

And yet you're still posting. Fucking wanker.

You're incapable of either addressing the issues (as usual) or restraining yourself.

FUCKING BABY.

Hey, two can play this game.

FUCKING WANKER!

The all-caps thing is just SO CONVINCING.

I figure your own style of engagement might just get through to you,
when reason does not, FUCKING BABY

Straw man after straw man after straw man. Change the fucking record already.

Except it is not a strawman.
In this instance this is not one person stating one opinion against someone else stating a different opinion.
The consistencies are evident, your shortcomings rather transparent and your attempts to deflect and such, rather hollow.
There is no straw.
Cal is just right. I mean it is hardly a feat of greatness pointing out the onvious but implying a different reality is just stupid.

Heed your own advice

[Al Swearegen]

Not sure why you'd agree with them, though, considering they act like a bunch of fucking babies.

No, wait, that was your argument, right?

Odeon, you really are a projectionist

My comment was rhetorical. I can see yours is not.

[Pyraxis]

The stats show there was a new member joined yesterday, but there's no new member. What happened there?

I just checked. The IP has been reported as spam 1996 times and originates from somewhere in the Ukraine.

The standard process at the moment (not that I agree with it necessarily) is to withhold registration confirmation until the IP can be checked, which usually ends up taking a day or two until an admin gets to it. Unfortunately most of the ones we get at the moment are spambots.

Another bot.

Oh, fuck of, you DRAMA QUEEN! You're still lying.

Incidentally, I thought you'd be at least slightly more honest than your current posse. I guess not.

Ah, one of the babies.

[odeon]

Wondering what Cal et al see as their end game. Their arguments are as ridiculous as ever and replying to them in kind is not much of an effort. I can do this forever, but nothing is likely to change and honestly, there's no point anyway. I'm not going to change my views - I see evidence that I'm right every day - and I'm guessing they won't either.

So...
