This is where I truly get stuck not knowing whether you’re trolling (and were trolling when you said you were sorry or whatever it was you said) or I’m just that bad at communicating.

I thought I was making it clear that I was talking about this board being potentially found by people searching a list of usernames after seeing some of my friends’ usernames on a list that supposedly was being used by cops (that I later also saw on right wing twitter) and therefore finding this board since I made the mistake of using the same name in organizing spaces as more casual social media.

I thought I even made it clear that people should feel free to use my “real” first name so that nobody was confused about who I am, just that I thought people were more likely to find the board if people kept using the less common word right before it.

I’m more than fine with an undertitle and even a list of things people feel I’ve done that makes a community less safe. Or if there’s no satisfactory solution to keeping the board from being found in searches with me still posting here, y’all can let me know that, too

I openly posted who I was for a long time until I got some very threatening crazy messages.

8651

I still believe you were trolling about being afraid board members might harm you if people used the word Ikes, despite everyone you were supposedly afraid of already knowing that you’re Ikes

8652

If I had known this that might have changed things. First I’m hearing of it

I forget the details of it, but I’m like 80% sure missile dog, aka sabo I think, was one of them.

Shockingly, no one runs around screaming missile dog either last time I checked.

You were cool with it all in that shitty PM thread though.

8654

I have no idea if you’re being sarcastic. Also missile dog is a name that might ring a bell. Did not know that was sabo or anything about missile dog

Edit: either I missed “with it all” in your post or it was edited in. That’s what I was referring to with the sarcasm part

PM thread I came in very late to and did some trolling in, revealed your PM to me, and said some things about not agreeing with the “online isn’t real life” takes but did not read the stuff from before I got invited by a shroom-taking Keed pissing people off by inviting everyone. One reason I didn’t go back and read the beginning is I heard some mean things were said about me

I think people here are just a bit extra paranoid sometimes.

The recent bird poop or hate crime thread is the best example of this.

8658

None of this explains why other posters shouldn’t be granted the same courtesy.

8659

Well for one it’s not a courtesy to me. If y’all are fine being searched let’s change it back

8660

Also lol what? I explicitly said back then that it was fine to refer to me by my previous name.

And you’re saying if we extend that courtesy to me, why can’t we extend that to others?

While we’re talking about the days people got bans for calling Ikes Ikes.

8661

How about we just call people whatever name they’d prefer to go by? Is that really so hard?

It’s only hard if you have to dishonestly backfill a reason for why you weren’t actually a jerk despite being a jerk months ago.

8663

Obligatory bump.

I think the proper verb for prima donnas is “flounced off.”

8665

Troll better!

8666

Embarrassing to be the guy who’s proud of being the online equivalent of someone who tailed people as they left banks in the hope they drop some money. Sorry.

8668

Is this one of those posts that’s so satisfying and addicting to make that it lead you to be willing to chop off a body part to no longer have the urge to do so?

8669

after how many bans/silences for trolling do we start to consider someone might not be here for the discourse?
