Its been a while since I made fun of terrible things on tumblr....

It's rather fascinating how this board tends to make people double down on their positions.

Crazy people start screaming at Roger and Nigel about the thing from 20 years ago that they feel strongly about or film adverts being really real.

Racists wait for the opportunity to just drop any semblance of humanity and start screaming about them folk from not round here who look different.

And the dullards, well, need I say more?

ACTUALLY,

So if you feel unappreciated or abused leave. The door swings both ways right?

Too right. But making it a habitual policy leads to no end of trouble. And attempting to clear up hopeless misunderstandings in absurdist ways is as legitimate a hobby as any.

I just find it fascinating that he absolutely refuses to allow for the validity of other people's perceptions of his posts. As far as he's concerned, everyone else's perceptions are WRONG and he is objectively RIGHT and that's all there is to that. Plus walls of text I'm guessing few bother to read.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It all seems to basically boil down to "I don't intend my behavior to be obnoxious, therefore it isn't, regardless of how other people perceive it".

[Dildo Argentino]

Actually, bye.

For the record, when you come back and read this to see if anyone objects to you leaving, the socially adept way of responding to the information that other people perceived something you said as condescending, rude, insensitive, racist, or otherwise abrasive is "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, let me rethink what I'm trying to say".

And then to actually rethink it, possibly, hopefully, even coming to an understanding of why the other person perceived it the way they did.

For the record. I did that twice. Works elsewhere, not here.

Yeah, but that's not some sort of blanket absolution. If you continue saying the same crap, you'll get the same response.

Like, if I hit myself in the junk with a hammer, then said, "whoops. Shouldn't have done that," it doesn't mean it won't hurt if I continue to hit myself in the junk.

To me, it seemed more like this:

- hit myself in the junk with the hammer -

"Oops, shouldn't have done that"

"But you wanted to, 'cos that's what you are like."

"No I didn't"

- more voices join in -

"Yes, you did, you sad, ridiculous bastard. We know your type."

Please note the complete absence of reframing your initial point, and instead immediately becoming defensive, actually.

You got me there, fair enough.
