I think it's because quite often you get yourself into arguments that look more or less like this: 1. Controversial view or action is mentioned 2. You respond by presenting that view or action in a caricatural way, either because you want to mock the poster or because you don't understand the position and for some reason pick the most evil interpretation of it possible (recently I'm leaning toward the latter, years ago I thought you just like to make fun of bardtown, but now I'm starting to think you genuinely don't understand people like him and those more radical) 3. The poster feels insulted by your post and replies with calling you a "massive ass" 4. You and the poster continue the fruitless exchange that turns into arguing about semantics / repeating your positions over and over / trading insults In short, it looks like you have a tendency to demonize certain opinions. It's easy to remember because of point 4, but I think the root of the problem (if you consider it a problem) is in point 2 - you present the views of your opponents very wrongly (in their mind at least) and it's very annoying to them. In your defense, it may look like this because you happen to get into those long exchanges with bad posters like sc-darkness whose posting is just indefensible. Yeah, you might be correct in pointing their wrongs out, but I don't get what you're trying to achieve by continuing to exchange posts with them once it's clear the discussion is going nowhere. It makes both of you look petty. Thanks. To be fair though, bardtown was a lot of fun. It was more enjoyable once mods caught on that British insults may sound cute and quaint, but you can't have a debate by constantly saying the equivalent of "fuck you" in British and he desperately tried to circumvent that till he blew up and called all muslims pedophiles as a passing card. Ironically, we shared more opinions than one ones we had disagreed. Unfortunately, what we disagreed on was leaving the EU. In the end though, I don't see a problem mocking a poster's viewpoint. If they view that the showing the absurdity of their viewpoint is a personal insult then they should refrain from expressing their absurdity in the first place, and they certainly shouldn't try to escalate by insulting me personally. Or maybe... I'm just blunt and kind of an asshole. | ||

Mods, you here and reading? Comments?

Looks like Dangles needs to go back and read his own posts, to borrow a condescending trope of his. It really sounds like you’re wishing I ever said that every lefty was guilty of such and such. So, go back and read my posts if you really think you can hang me with my own words. And you’re one small step away justifying as hominem bullshit as simple hyperbole. Of all posts to write excuses about rofl. | ||

You must have me confused with someone that uses y’all regularly. Am I supposed to take you seriously? | ||

Hey, at least I am not so "confused" to quote someone, accuse them of changing their post, and continue to insist that post was unfairly editted post-quote, even when it was pointed out that the quote was exactly the same as the post. Because dang, clearly I have psionic powers to force you to right all over the place. | ||
