ATTN: Ewe People

[Doktor Howl]

I don't trash threads skippy. 

Uh huh.  Then neither will I, to the same extent that you "don't".

Whatever floats your boat mac.

I'm fairly easy to please in these matters.

[AFK]

Oh, I remember now, you're talking about your "suicide prevention" thread.  Meh, I will own that I threw out some information that obviously didn't interest anyone.  However, the 5 or 6 other asshats who decided to jump in and get all butt-hurt over it, that's on them.  (People could've simply ignored it and moved on instead of deciding they needed to be one of the cool kids and get their licks in.) 

If everyone really didn't want that to "derail" that thread then...

"Oh. Well, Then Stop"

But I'm sorry that your thread ended up going wonky, but I think maybe you should encourage some of your fans to exercise a little more will power and restraint.  That might go a long way to prevent matters from blowing up larger than they need to.

So it's not your actions that were wrong, it was everyone elses'.

It must be rough, being such a fucking saint surrounded by evil Roger cultists.

Everyone else compounded the situation, whether you are willing to acknowledge that or not.  See, it would be a lot different if it was just you and me discussing whatever our disagreement was.  But that's not how it works.  When you and I have a disagreement, Freeky HAS to jump in.  Anna Mae HAS to jump in.  Nigel HAS to jump in. 

I mean, you and I are a couple of big boys, we should be able to sort out any disagreements on our own without a bunch of looky-loos deciding they need to have a piece of the action. 

[Doktor Howl]

Everyone else compounded the situation, whether you are willing to acknowledge that or not. 

Which totally justifies you initiating the situation.

[AFK]

I was, I thought, contributing to the topic.  If you didn't like it, you could've just said so, I would've stopped (which I did), and that would be that.  Instead you and your crew decided to go into drama mode.  You guys own that, not me.  I already said I was sorry that post screwed things up.  But I'm not owning anything beyond my post.  The behavior of others belongs with the others. 

[Doktor Howl]

I was, I thought, contributing to the topic.

I don't believe that for a second.  You're a smart guy, RWHN, and you're not some internet aspie.  That thread was blatantly over the top, there was no fucking question about whether or not I was any sort of authority on suicide, or whatever.

But why let a joke run, when you can take out your personal issues on it by killing the joke with pedantic bullshit?

Then this little "joke".

I prefer to write at PD.  It relaxes me.  However, it seems that I can't relax by writing, because a few people, most notably yourself, insist on fucking with me every time I DO write something.  So I won't be writing, because it isn't relaxing under these circumstances.  Instead, we'll be doing this, or at the very least doing what you do on any threads you attempt to start.

I'm okay with this.

[AFK]

"Every time"

Yes, "every time".  So if I go thread diving I will see that I, RWHN, have ruined every single one of the serious threads you started, right?

Because I trash all of them, right?

Every single one of them, right? 

Me, posting a stupid joke riffing on your thread title and posting in your suicide thread is not "every time"

It is, in fact, two times, out of how many threads you've started in the past week? 

And one of the two, this joke, had ZERO to do with you.  I borrowed a thread title and did a pun-riff.  End of story.  Even the suicide thread, I was just sharing knowledge for anyone who was interested.  It could've been ignored, but NO, everyone had to go on a two-page sarcastic posting spree to make sure we made a mountain of that molehill.

It is as it always is, overreaction to stupid, throw-away jokes/posts.  I don't know why you can't see that, other than you don't want to see it.

Then you'll have no objection when I return the favor forever, right?  Because it's just a joke?

Dude, this isn't the first time we've been here.  You had this same over-the-top reaction because I posted a stupid pun in a thread.  ECH has threatened to do the same damned thing. 

I mean really, if it is really going to make you feel better to trash any thread I start, go for it man.  It ain't going to ruin my day. 

[Doktor Howl]

Dude, this isn't the first time we've been here.  You had this same over-the-top reaction because I posted a stupid pun in a thread.  ECH has threatened to do the same damned thing. 

Notice a pattern?  You post some "funny" shit in or about someone's thread, and people get mad at you.  You specialize in prevention, right?  That is, correct me if I'm wrong, pretty heavily into cause & effect on a behavioral level.  So why is it so hard to see the pattern here?

I'm assuming its not difficult to see at all.  I'm working under the assumption that you do this shit on purpose, and I am doing so based on the fact that you are not stupid.

So, yeah, Nigel does a thread called "uncomfortable topics", so you run a thread under the same name.  Not funny.  I do a thread called "you people", so you do "ewe people".  Not funny.  I post a thread, you slay it with pedantic bullshit.  Again, not funny.

You know precisely what you're doing.  You've been doing it for just about a year.  Maybe there's a pattern to that, too, right?

It's not you, it's everyone else.

Do you also shift the blame for everything onto your (ex) wife?

Yeah, speaking about patterns, the time he started acting like a dick was about the time he stopped mentioning his wife & kids, and just started mentioning his kids.

I mean, there's no harm there.  Every dad wants to brag up his kids.  I know I do.  It's just the relatively recent omission of his wife at the same time that he started using this board for his "lol" at other peoples' expense was kind of noticeable.

But, hell, I'm just joking around, here.  HAW HAW!

Yeah, the pattern is you reading things that aren't there.

You - Ewe was a pun riff.

The "uncomfortable topics" thing was categorical.  Kinda like how we've had multiple "Difficult Choices" threads.  I mean "uncomfortable topics" s, plural, kinda suggests that there is more than one topic that is uncomfortable, right?  I mean, that's kind of how that part of the English language works.  So race is an uncomfortable topic, it seemed kinda obvious, given the history here, that drugs are also an uncomfortable topic.

You made some stupid connection with Nigel's thread because you wanted to see that connection and get upset.  You created that monster, not me.  You and Nigel own that, not me.

Yeah, she left me for the mailman.  Sad story. 

[Doktor Howl]

Kinda like how we've had multiple "Difficult Choices" threads.

All started by Cram.

ETA:  Or not, apparently.
