Derail! (Adjective): a topic I’m not interested in, usually involving, to some degree, a poster I don’t agree with.
Let’s check the actual record.
Time period of “derail”: 2 days
Number of posts in the “derail” before I posted: 27
Number of unique posters in the “derail” before my first post: 15
Total of number of posts in the “derail”: 179
Total number of posts I made: 18
Total number of posts complaining about the “derail”: 11
Number of other threads on the topic I’d already created: 1
Number of posts in the new thread by me: one, asking for my name to be removed.
Number of posts in new thread clearly explaining why the title is misleading: one
Anyway, I am pretty shocked this whole thing has gone more than one simple post requesting my name be removed from the title.
What harm is there if the title was changed to “defending billionaires” or something similar?
The clear reason nun added my name twice in the title, used the plural of billionaires, and suggest I am offended by the very critique of billionaires was to disparage me as he doesn’t agree with me. This is completely obvious.
The fact that this has gone beyond my first request, including several refusals from mods to make a simple title change to a thread that again, contains not one post by me, can only mean one thing.
I mistakenly thought, that while we disagree from time to time, my years of posting with you all had earned me at least the most minimal basic level of respect. I guess not. I’m sure some of that is on me. I hate these public drama posts but here we are.
I think I’ll be posting a lot less going forward as it’s pretty clear my presence isn’t wanted by most people. I’ll still be around as a lurker as I find many of the opinions here very informative.
