New Moderation Policy: Posting personal information will get you permanently banned

I don’t think Ike’s ever had a fastball

I’m not saying it’s not delusional, but he had a lot of hopes for this forum when it started. As I recall, he seemed to think this place could be a stepping stone to political punditry or consulting. Remember when people were talking about starting a podcast? I suppose some of his behavior could be modeled as him lashing out at people he blames for killing his dream.

I want to treat him as sincere, but I’m also much more willing to treat you as sincere and not as some disingenuous troll.

You think SK is more sincere than anyone else on this forum? I’m sincerely disappointed in this performance of yours, then.

CW not wanting to outline the precise way a bunch of people harrassing him can mess with his real life is not some damning failure. It’s a reasonable concern, clearly, and I’m legitimately ashamed of ever defending you in the past for your creepy posts if you think this isn’t obvious.

Treating his request as insincere is the charitable interpretation here!

This is what I don’t get. This is a terrible look for the people arguing that people shouldn’t be able to choose how they are referred to.

I’ve never said it wasn’t a reasonable concern.

I think SK is more sincere than people give him credit for. I don’t think he’s all that smart and what people see as disingenuous trolling is at least some of the time really just him legitimately not understanding things. I believe him when he more or less says that he’s not creative or smart enough to figure out how to harass CW and I have no intention of providing him with a roadmap for doing so.

lol, you think I’m sincere but a moron? Fuck off asshole.

And obviously I don’t have any interest in harassing c#se rounder and haven’t done so.

Nope just insisting on typing at least 8 extra characters every time you refer to him.

You think that is harassment?

If someone asks you not to? Yes.

You also seemed to agree

People have never been able to choose how other people refer to them. If Donald Trump asked me to refer to him as Mr President I would say no. I wouldn’t even call him Donald, or Don, or Mr Trump. I would call him idiot or something like that.

As Rex pointed out the person in question refers to himself as the name he is editing out in his own post.

I still think it’s an asshole thing to do to refer to CW as CR. But it’s not doxing or whatever buzz word the forum uses instead of typing their thoughts in the text box. Because if they typed their thoughts instead of buzzwords they would have to come to grips with how ridiculous they are being.

To be fair, I think almost everyone is a moron.

I mean you might want to reread that exchange. Read for the first time? Because you are certainly not understanding what I’m saying there.

Well now you’ve got one fewer person to interact with. Thanks for letting me know what you think of me, wish you would have let me know sooner so I could have never corresponded with you in the first place.

I thought you were saying that you found it hurtful when posters replied “KEEEEEEEEEED” to your posts but I guess I’m just too dumb to read even the simplest of exchanges and understand their meaning.

Wait why do you think Keeeeeeeeed is hurtful? Because of the misspelling? Do you think I was demanding that people properly spell my username? Do you think I was demanding ANYTHING, or asking for or expecting some sort of moderator action or protection?

Yes, and again me no read good but as you said it might be hurtful for someone to intentionally misspell your name to make some dumb internet point.

No, I don’t think you were demanding anything or expecting moderator action or protection.

I didn’t say that and of course that isn’t what I meant. If Keeeeeeeeeed is hurtful it isn’t because of the misspelling. Was goof baller hurt by me typing “goof baller”? Hard to imagine but if I’m being honest I fervently hope so.

You seriously think Keeeeeed is hurtful because they’re misspelling his name? Not because it’s a way to dismiss his posting and his opinions because he’s a troll and/or posting in bad faith? That is absolutely wild.
