If somebody has legitimate serious mental health issues, I don't think it would be nice to take shots at them belittling their condition.

Later, that very same paragraph....

Other than being obsessive and extremely annoying, we don't really have any evidence of jb actually suffering from mental health issues, so it seems to me that he is doing the whole "throw rocks and hide under mom's skirt" thing when he whines incessantly about being a victim when at the same time he makes a dozen posts a day attacking other posters.

I know. I should have said that I don't understand that mindset.

Well for me it's about censorship rules, given i would like to discuss stuff that is partially censored, i'd like to know the exact boundaries because the more i can plainly state and argue about the better the debate can be.

I think you can understand that mindset specifically.

For ex i have been accused of coming very close to white supremacy after i wrote that i consider western culture objectively superior to all others in history, it's hard to be able to debate all the corollaries of that (geopoliticals, immigration-wise and so on), which is a widespread opinion among rightwing people still nowaydas and was the super-majoritarian opinion of all western countries until very recently, if that's the threshold.

Ofc i accept the threshold but until i knew that, i felt free to express my preferences for western culture.

But i think you can see that censoring a core value-system which was the main one in many countries for centuries until very recently, and still is the main one for 40 to 60 % of voters depending on the country (in the west), is kinda harsh

Right. The point is that there is no "condition" to belittle.

There isn't a contradiction there


by Luciom m

The fact that you manage superbly at the task without even having to ask is certainly worthy of praise, but not everyone is as good as you at trolling

This is against forum rules.

Right. The point is that there is no "condition" to belittle.

Do we know that?


by jalfrezi m

Do we know that?

I was assisting Trolly with reading comprehension, not making a point of fact.


Do we know one way or another about anyone?


by d2_e4 m

I was assisting Trolly with reading comprehension, not making a point of fact.

However, my personal view is that you have some sort of mental health issue that somehow manifests itself as you constantly acting like an obnoxious, arrogant, insufferable tit, then you should be treated like any other obnoxious, arrogant, insufferable tit.

Not the impression I get, but then I'm not an expert.

Why don't we take the subject of your white knighting at his word?

by jbouton m

This is super inappropriate and does not apply to me, and I don't appreciate the stigma of mental illness forced onto my persona. I don't have this issues others and King Spew assert I do...

by jbouton m

Just so we are clear, none of that is true. And I don't have a caretaker, I don't have such medical conditions etc. I just want to be clear. And that was a PM by a mod.

The notes on my account are stigma and lies.


by d2_e4 m

Right. The point is that there is no "condition" to belittle.

His mantra is "Always be trolling." It doesn't matter if his point flies in the face of logic or shows deficits in basic reading comprehension, as trolling doesn't always have to be perfect to be effective. Trump uses similar tactics to great effect.

Why? Mod recently said that sarcasm is not against forum rules.

Why? Mod recently said that sarcasm is not against forum rules.

We've been told to address the content of posts, not attributes of posters.


by jalfrezi m

We've been told to address the content of posts, not attributes of posters.

That wasn't about an attribute, but about behavior on the forum.

For the same reason we don't believe him when he tells us a cabal of panda bears secretly controls the world.


by Trolly McTrollson m

For the same reason we don't believe him when he tells us a cabal of panda bears secretly controls the world.

So we shouldn't point out problems with his posting just in case he suffers from some unstated, presumably undiagnosed condition, which he himself denies?

There are other posters here who have similar ideas about panda cabals or somesuch, maybe you should cut them some slack, just in case.


by chillrob m

That wasn't about an attribute, but about behavior on the forum.

Looks like jal's auditioning for mod.


You want to get bear maced, bruh?


by jalfrezi m

This is against forum rules.

no it's sarcasm



Ok, as JBouton has been banned and can't respond, please stop posting about him. You can post about the ban itself, I guess, but speculations about him having mental illness or not shouldn't continue.

Pointy elbows.

Your requests at least concern what you perceive to be substantive discussion. I was referring more to people who want to know exactly how much they can insult people, exactly how much they can discuss banned posters, exactly how long they can continue after being told to move, exactly how much loaded language they can use, or exactly how much mischaracterization or misrepresentations they can engage in before they are banned.

How much of this can I ask before it becomes a problem?
