Oh, there's more.
Thing is, I can laugh about it, even while I find it annoying, when someone comes after me; but when they are going after other people, as well (as we've also seen in this thread), it pisses me off--and it's just gross and disgusting.
Is this still about me? Remember, parmalee, that you went after me, first. I pushed back. And now you're in this uncomfortable position where you've just reacted emotionally and said things you shouldn't have. But you're too proud to take them back. You want to burn bridges, rather than build them. So, you're doubling and tripling down, making yourself look like exactly the kind of extremist I called out in my first post to this thread. A man who is trying to intimidate another person into silence because that person doesn't just bow down and agree with everything you say.
Likewise with Rowling, for that matter: her views which I find questionable are one thing, but when she goes off bullying and mocking various athletes, including a kid, that's simply disgusting. She's got hundreds of millions of dollars, and millions of followers, and she is going after these people who already face a lot of difficulties (including high rates of depression and suicidality) and baseless prejudices against them. It's vile.
I have invited you on multiple occasions to provide examples of where Rowling has "gone after" transgender people. To be clear, I'm not talking about "going after" specific transgender people who support the radical line that transgender woman and cis women are identical. That, after all, is what the dispute is about. There are transgender radicals and there are cisgender radicals who support the "cause". I'm talking about Rowling "going after" specific transgender people because she believes that being a transgender person is evil, or something like that.
I haven't seen any evidence that Rowling is "transphobic" in the sense of considering transgender people to be lesser human beings or deserving of punishment or stuff like that. If you've got it, bring it, by all means.
Can you cite one single false accusation?
What? From your rant post in which you made about 20 false, personal accusations in a row? I can cite that post, certainly. Do you need me to?
Perhaps you are referring to that line about you "not having a problem with bullying trans athletes, apparently."
If that's what you're alleging of me, then certainly. That's a false accusation. I have a problem with bullying
anyone. Which, of course, includes trans athletes.
From your behaviour in this thread, it looks like you don't have a problem with trying to bully people. It's not like you've
stopped trying to bully me. It's not like you didn't
start trying to bully me. Maybe you make a special exception for trans athletes, but everybody else is fair game. Who knows?
Let's see, you have been provided with evidence of Rowling's bullying multiple times by more than one poster. How did you respond? Nothing, no response.
Maybe I missed the relevant post or posts. You could link me to one of them and then we could discuss. Not that I'm very interested in having a discussion with you while you're in this mood you're in.
OK, now I "turn(ed) on" Seattle, the guy who baselessly insinuated that I was a pedophile.
It isn't nice when people insinuate things that aren't true, is it?
What did you learn from your experience with Seattle? Anything?
And I "turn(ed) on" foghorn, the guy who spammed 5 separate threads with quotes from me that he plainly did not even remotely understand and made completely nonsensical insinuations and accusations, again, based either upon his incredibly poor reading comprehension or because he's simply a fucking asshole.
So, hypothetically, if some guy were to spam a thread about, say, JK Rowling, with nonsensical insinuations and accusations, based on his incredibly poor reading comprehension or because he's simply a fucking asshole, you'd have no problem with somebody else in that thread turning on him?
Of course, I reported this--several times--but the "moderator" didn't do jack shit. Why is that, James?
I'm sure I must have handled your reports, because they are marked as "resolved" or "rejected" in the report queue. Perhaps your complaints turned out to be unfounded.
What responses did you receive from me, at the time? I always provide a summary of what action I have taken as a moderator, in response to a filed report, at the very least.
And as far as me having "now" "lost my shit" with you--actually, I kinda ran out of patience with you years ago, after discerning a clear pattern of dishonesty and a tendency to bully, harass and intimidate countless other posters here, more often than not simply because they disagreed with you.
That figures. You're saying that you've been bottling up this rage inside you for
years, and now it has all come exploding out.
It's a pity you didn't try to talk to me about your concerns before blowing your top in such an undignified manner. We probably could have resolved things in an atmosphere of mutual respect and civility. Instead, years later, you do
this.
Who else do I "have trouble remaining civil with"? Provide names and citations.
You know that better than I do, parmalee. I don't think I need to present a public list to try to shame you.
Look, I'm a moderator of this forum. If you cross a line and breach our site rules, and somebody reports you, then I will deal with that problem when it arises, as appropriate. You've already clocked up 50 warning points so far this year and you know why those points were awarded, because I explained clearly to you on the occasion of each warning. Repeats of the same or similar behaviour will get you warned again, probably.
If you don't cross the lines, then you can have trouble remaining civil with as many people as you like, as far as I'm concerned.
By the way, just so you know: you're getting special treatment this time around, specifically because the target of your appalling behaviour is me. It is not bias that that's at issue, but the possible perception of bias. So, here we are. Unless you really try to up the ante with me, you'll probably get away with posting the kinds of insults that I would issue a warning for if your target was anybody else. You have so far, despite your whining about censorship and such (which hasn't occurred).
Oh, perhaps that Trek guy--you know, the avowed rape advocate, something which you yourself seemed to recognize. Who else?
It's quite a long list, you have to admit.
Also worth mentioning, perhaps: I have had the odd disagreement or seven with the likes of Seattle and Trek as well, along with your newly self-appointed champion Sarkus whom, so far, you seem tolerant of.
In fact, I have issued official warnings to a number of people and have heard not a peep from you complaining about my "censoring" of them or my bullying them and removing their right to speak freely.
It seems like you might have a bit of a double standard. You seem to be fine with me moderating
other people, sometimes in response to reports you have filed, but when it comes to me moderating you or your friends (whoever they might be on this forum, if there are any), then maybe it's a different story.
This is not my first rodeo, parmalee. I have seen too many disingenuous complaints to count from people who have developed chips on their shoulders following their receiving an official warning or three from me. Typically, the greatest amount of bile comes from the people who are least willing to take responsibility for their own behaviour and the least willing to modify their behaviour after being called out on it.
Which group are you in?, I wonder.
Alternately, you could simply issue a public apology and retraction of your baseless lies and insinuations--that's your thing, right?
Certainly. Which particular baseless lies and insinuations of mine would you like me to apologise to you for, parmalee?
Of course, this is just a single post. Would you like me to continue with other posts, James?
I'm wondering how long you're going to keep up with this tantrum of yours.
I mean, you've had a chance to step away from your computer, have meals, get some fresh air, sleep, etc. And yet, for the past few days, you've been back into it every time you open the forum, maintaining the rage.
Just how important is it to you to show what a despicable human being I am? I guess we'll see. Won't we?
