The great part of the fun I'm referring to are his attempts to backseat moderate, mostly. The actual whining is more annoying than enjoyable.

That zlefin likes to dish it out but can't take it is exactly the kind of behavior that deserves such a response IMO. If I didn't have several hate PM's sitting in my inbox from zlefin I might be more receptive to this argument. But he literally already says he's going to shit talk then ignore the response, giving him "ignore" would just exasperate that issue.

If what you meant was "you're no better than anybody else", then maybe that's what you should have said.
What you actually said was very different.
I also think he probably wouldn't shit talk you to any meaningful degree if he couldn't see your posts. To say otherwise is a pretty significant accusation of bad faith.
EDIT: I think it's also a fundamental misrepresentation to say that zlefin is looking to create an echo chamber. Not wanting to read the posts of shitposters is a different thing to not wanting to read the posts of people one disagrees with.

Not sure you're aware of how long zlefin's shitposter list is.
I don't really care enough to argue about it though, so think what you want.

Just shitposting, then deplorable, then
You are an evil person, who wishes to spread suffering around the world.
There's got to be another person that didn't quarrel with him to get some accolades though.

But, you are a shitposter. The other is probable, and the last debatable.

Sign up for the Democratic Party where it’s all in for white guilt and class and race warfare! I had to double check the poster name to make sure it wasn’t a parody of sincerely held views.
just before I read this thread. If that's isn't pure shitposting, probably deplorable, then what is?
Though you seem to take it rather personally, like I particularily care about your feelings.

I've gotten a nice PM from him as well.

zlefin and i have decided to start a campaign in a bid for the congressional seat in Indiana's tenth district

I only have one PM from zlefin, sent long ago, and it was in response to me having encouraged him to continue arguing with an unreportable staff poster.

A very apt criticism of a reductive and detestable opinion.
Like I said, you calling me a shitposter, probable deplorable, and debatably an evil person who wishes to spread suffering around the world tells me quite a bit about you. Toodles.

I have never gotten the zlefin hate mail and I feel left out. It’s probably because I stopped responding to him.
|
It's not that eventful to be honest. Mostly you get called a shitposter.
|
I was an idiot not a shitposter, is there a ranking?
|
i think he considers just about everyone is a shitposter but then there are classifications like idiot, deplorable, etc.

You can imagine it’s R1CH’s bot to classify shitty posters come alive, if anyone remembers.
