Please stop eating shit

[Cramulus]

you don't chew twinkies either -- you just open your jaw real wide and slide it directly into your stomach

We find out why Cram was so popular in high school, ITT.

This one's a keeper!

It's the board we demanded!

It is exactly the board we demanded.

What do YOU do with a board where you go on and try to participate, and the whole fucking place is instantly an asshole to you for no apparent reason? It's really easy to goad people into just fucking giving up and trolling and then quitting and never coming back. And then you can say SEE I WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME.

At this point, I am pretty sure there's nothing I can say that won't be reinterpreted into something monstrous and unforgivable, so fuck it.

This is not the environment I'm looking for. I am interested in spending my online time having conversations, not reading fiction and yelling at new people for not being good enough. Just to be clear I like fiction, and I appreciate and applaud everyone's creative endeavors, but that isn't why I'm here. It isn't what I interact with people for. I interact with people for conversations.

I am not here to be dehumanized with words like "using me as your whipping boy", or accused of comparing you to Lumberjim when I suggested that the culture here is in danger of going in the direction the Cellar did, stagnant and self-congratulatory and FUNCTIONALLY DEAD, unable to accept new perspectives. Basically, as soon as that started, my disagreement was shut down and dismissed, because to continue would be to make me a BAD PERSON accusing you, personally, of BAD THINGS. I don't like being shut down and dehumanized like that. It's not OK with me.

And the new guy flipping out and reporting posts, whether he just decided to troll or was here to troll all along, doesn't make it OK or justified, either.

So now I need to take some time and decide whether I want to continue to visit this forum, and continue to try to contribute to it what I want to see in a forum, or whether I should just give up and walk away. Because I really don't have a lot of space for bullshit in my life. Maybe if I still had tons of money and a full-time assistant and was bored and angry at my life, which is where I was when I showed up here, I would be perfectly happy with the negativity and the othering and the categorizing and the dumping, but that's not where I am now. I'm a lot less angry, and a lot more stressed in other ways.

[East Coast Hustle]

Scilon, do not fucking report user's posts unless a violation of what few rules we have has occurred.  Someone responding to me angrily is not such a violation.

Report closed.

I think I'll do what I feel like doin' actually. Yeah. That's what's going to happen.

If you want every single person here to think you're probably just a dickhead who has no intention of honoring the social customs of the place in which they find themselves, by all means do that.

This is my board. I'm not telling you to do or not do anything, but I am asking you very nicely to please not report users' posts unless they violate one of the very few rules we have (no porn, spam, blatant copyright infringement, other things that could get me or Faust in trouble). It's a really dickish thing to do.

>This ones a keeper

I'll turn it around. For the info of the board, today I put out equal numbers of granola bars and twinkies. It was early, right when I got in. I went to another staff members office for an important meeting ^tm and all of the twinkies were gone.

Yes, really. Every single twinkie gone. No one was in the room, so one individual came in and snagged them all. I love humans!

Maybe some health activist is secretly throwing them away.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

but as social FOX PASS go it probably wasn't the best,.

I get that. I considered it a private message to the mod team. My goal was to just have the post removed as it has nothing at all to do with food, shit, or the consuming of creme filling 

FYI you can request a thread split to have everything not related to your OP removed to another thread.

I'd probably do it, if I were you.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I get that. But you know what? I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. I have enough on my plate. More than enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is cute, he's trying to gain social acceptance by snarking on the underdog.

[East Coast Hustle]

Moderator reports are not private.  The only private function here is the PM function.  That is clearly spelled out in the 6 rules thread.

Can you address any part of my posts wherein I am a human being with feelings expressing anything right? I thought, it being my thread, that I was well within my rights to request less abusive cursing and anger.

I don't want to see it, others don't want to see it. If I'm wrong for requesting that then something has malfunctioned.

You're kind of a prissy little twat, aren't you?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You're kind of a prissy little twat, aren't you?

No, you're the twat. I'm the Dick. There are three types of people in this world sweetheart. Twats, Dicks and Assholes. Now Twats don't like dicks, because Twats get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Twats may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a twat to show them that. But sometimes, twats can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because twats are an inch and half away from ass holes.

In this thread, you were such an asshole I had to become a massive Dick.

Copypasta? Really?

[Reginald Ret]

This is not the environment I'm looking for. I am interested in spending my online time having conversations,

I hope you don't mind if i only respond to this bit, I do it in the spirit of positivity and constructive interaction.
I am going to put on my 'everybody is a good person, no exceptions.' hat for a while on this board.
I wonder how long i can keep it up.

Your observations are not science... not yet.

I can agree with all of this. I will conduct an experiment. Monday I am going to put out no twinkies, but an equal amount of a different flavored granola bar instead. I will report results.

This is a good plan! Keep trying out different things to put out, and I especially like that you are doing science without expending any resources other than what you already have. That is frugal science. The science that anybody can do, it is my favourite kind.
Have formed an hypothesis?
What are your expectations?
Do you have plans for future variations and if not, would you mind detailing your resources so we can help you think?

[East Coast Hustle]

I don't usually go along with this sort of thinking but at this point it might be reasonable to assume that this guy has an agenda and was just trolling from the get-go.

To be fair, that copypasta was a more interesting read than your response, succinct and to the point though it may have been.¹
You managed to state your opinion of copypasta², you expressed your emotional stance towards him³ while engaging in mild mockery without being either too offensive or too friendly. And you are doing this while re-establishing yourself as a funny, intelligent and often reasonable member of this society.



¹Is that a good sentence? I'm not entirely sure.
²negative
³mild disdain

P.S. I think I am out of practice with positivity.

Another deep thinker weighs in....

Your trolling effort to response ratio is quite good, would you mind sharing some techniques?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That does seem likely.

I don't, actually, care about him at all. He's just another new guy who may or may not be a troll.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

But what do I know? I hear I'm so stressed out that I'm not thinking straight, and my so-called "opinions" are merely low blows intended to do harm, apparently.
