Just because someone agrees with me, it doesn't mean that they're agreeing just because I said it. They could've objectively looked at the facts and based their opinion on them.

And you just basically replied to your own thread here. I just don't get why you decided to say that if someone agreed with you it could be because they looked at the facts and based their opinion on them and not just come to this realization about everyone else that you called out.

The only way to go through with this "rationally" would be to provide specific examples of phoniness, and calling people out like that would just hurt more feelings.


Well that's exactly what you've done. It hasn't really made your point any more rational. It's just kind of turned into more arguements and pointless negativity. If you wanted to discuss your feelings on this forum, I think you would of went at it more like you were willing to converse with people, share ideas, formulate consensus. But you didn't do that and for a good number of reasons. First of all, any opinion that directly insults people is going to be met with negativity, so there goes that. Also you haven't get tried to come to any conditional agreement with anyone, even though I've seen some great counter-arguements. You're just arguing. You're just making another hateful thread. Please just stop.

You're a real prince, you know that? Such a prince.


I don't even know what that's supposed to mean? Am I a prince because I care about hurting other people's feelings? Yeah, that's it. Okay. Thanks. See you around the forums, OP.

It's supposed to mean that you're white knighting in a vain attempt to be recognized. If you don't like this thread, don't post in it.

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

I hardly think this is the case.

When it comes to opinions, there is no middle ground, as it is human nature to be biased. The moment you have a thought that pushes you towards a certain stance, you can no longer call yourself unbiased. Because of that, it is only logical to assume that, given a list of topics pertaining to a particular subject, someone undoubtedly will share an opinion with someone else.

I would also refrain from calling this an act of acceptance. That would connote behaviour akin to something one would see in a personal, face-to-face setting. The benefit of the internet is that, to almost everyone, you're just an avatar and a username. I, and, in all likelihood, the vast majority of other users, have made friends on this site. However, I have no reason to try and act "cool" for their amusement.

By that same token, I also have no reason to treat people rudely, either. While I don't know every user personally, any user can learn a lot about him or her by the content of his or her posts. Because of this, it is my opinion that calling the actions of the forum population "autistic" and that they spew "hatred about groups [they] know nothing about" is probably not a good way to go about making friends or leaving something other than a notorious first impression on other users.

No, it's not. I'm not making this thread to gain popularity. That would be quite backwards.

Signatures are for little kids.

I try not to judge other people.

But I did call all the people who thought the world was going to end idiots yesterday.

I think of that as stating a fact though, not making a judgement.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

I think a more accurate summation of this thread would be to suggest it's a guy accusing everybody of something we're all carelessly guilty of, expecting the accusation to change our opinion of ourselves. The other half is everybody here thinking they've been accused of some actual problem, when in reality it's just a regular thing.

Kinda like if you were to suggest someone is wrong for defecating. what'reyougonnado?

Defecating is a natural process. Being a phony isn't.

Just like the last time I made an analogy in this thread, you completely missed the point.

Edit: yeah, it kinda is a natural process, actually.

To not copy successful things would be self-defeating.

No, it's not. I'm not making this thread to gain popularity. That would be quite backwards.


so then why would you call out the guy you were arguing with for trying to gain recognition? He ran you to the cliff and you had nothing to refute back with. So you blindly accused him of trying to gain popularity, when really he's doing the same thing you're doing: stating an opinion- excepth you're an -blam!-.

you don't know -blam!- about his intentions and you know very little about what you're talking about at this point.

Why? Because he's a troll and this is his troll thread. He's been feeding it for like three hours now. Relax your nipples, you phony.

See it how you want to. The guy pretty much came into the thread and said that I was a bad person. So I told him he was white knighting. Which he was.

Get over yourself.
