The second worst poster is not necessarily the same as the second worst human who posts.
I want to know who clovis thinks were the worst and third worst posters.
Comparing 2+2 politics (before the exodus) to 2+2 OOT or 2+2 NVG is weird, IMO. The median NVG poster or OOTer is like light years worse than the worst not exiled politics poster.

The thing is, Clovis dislikes Fly because Fly insulted Clovis. Thatās it! Marty has said mean things to me, I know heās not a worse poster than people telling a mentally ill woman to kill herself.

I donāt want to litigate this. We have enough drama as it is. And I wish you and Micro would take things down a notch. You both agree on more than you disagree and I think you both would make decent mods.

Is anyone really arguing that Fly is a worse poster than the people who told Hawbaker to kill herself? Because thatās really fucking gross if true, but Iām not reading it that way.
I think weāre going to be fine. Jman has a thick skin.
Jesus beefs so old around here Taco Bell wouldnāt take it.
Some of yāall take shit waaaay too seriously.

Clovis said in 25 years of being online. I am inferring him to mostly mean politics posters and some other forums/social media because I think he spent the vast majority of his time there, but 2p2 was a cesspool of 17-25 year olds a decade ago. Some truly horrific stuff.
Itās completely fine to have the opinion that Fly was too abrasive of a person for Clovis, and to Clovis! But he was one of the few people pushing back against the majority that liked George Zimmerman etc over the years.
Lol good faith posting itt. I mean it too. You are being purposely stupid.
Do you know how I know you donāt think Iām arguing fly is worse than someone who drove a woman to suicide and that when I say second worst poster Iām obviously speaking of my own person experience?
Because I am assuming you are not really stupid. Stop acting like you are to win internet points.
Uh is this Cocaine Mitchās version of Hail to the Chief?
Itās not even interesting drama. Itās just boring ass whinging for whingingās sake. Drama should at least be interesting.

I donāt know anything about clovis-fly interactions. Personally, I think the forum should be modded in a way that allows people to say things that occasionally make clovis feel insulted, but not all the time.
My perception was that fly was someone who didnāt let accuracy get in the way of a good attack. I think I legitimately would enjoy verbally sparring with fly if he had come over here and I would probably seek out such arguments.
People whine about personal attacks, but itās hard to talk about politics without getting into peopleās personal motivations. The problem with fly wasnāt that heād go too far; it was that he seemed to be allowed to go farther than other people. Thatās not just the perception of people who were his main target. That was my perception as well.
I dont think this is an unfair description, but he also seemed to know exactly where the line was that would not result in moderator action. The dumber racists he attacked did not have this same skill.
I think you are right that he did receive extra leeway though.
This is his most liked list.
I liked fly, but he was an indiscriminate weapon; there were definitely some friendly-fire incidents.

I think some posters currently perceived as problems are described as similarly knowing where the line is. Their critics want to redraw the lines, but wouldnāt these alleged problem posters know where that line is and adjust accordingly?
microbet the poster talking, not the modā¦thereās muting threads.
I think people are bored.
