the thing i took issue with and the source of the present dispute.
I know.
You should relax.
I started it jokingly.
You're too defensive about it.
I'm not saying that I'm not telling the truth as I see it. Just saying that it doesn't really concern me enough to make more than a joke out of it. I'd think you'd be more aware of it.
So. If we change 'gossip' to 'flaming' then we're in accord?
you go on to escalate....
*Well. You spend an awful lot of time down in the picture thread leering at the girls.
*I've also noticed that you have an interest in the gossip that inevitably winds up in threads down there.
*Don't most of your posts revolve around the doings of other members?
*You seem to have much more fun gossiping though. .
lies. a fair number of my posts are involved in flame wars. that is when an argument gets out of hand and shit gets slung around. hardly laudable but who the fuck cares? you? the self appointed grand inquisitor and keeper of standards? fuck you! understand this! flaming is not fucking gossiping. are you now holding me responsible for your perceived ills of sciforums.
Yes. I'm the grand inquisitor.
Bow before my might.
Ok. So. You do get involved in flame wars as well. I suppose I was also throwing that into the same category as gossip. That's not fair. But, what I'm really referring to is posts where you just pop in out of nowhere and make some idiotic and harassing post. Until your Gustav disguise was uncovered, you did rather well in not behaving this way, but since the uncovering, you've done it quite a bit.
I'll give you this though. Not as much as you used to.
i know how fucking disingenuous you are being when you characterize a conversation as gossiping. you need to redefine in order to denigrate and demean. fucking pathetic. these are your petty peeves. do not expect me to share in them
Denigrate and demean.
You mean like 'mutt'?
Poor, Gustav.
Doesn't like to receive, does he?
But, the worst thing is that he recognizes himself in my words. Otherwise he wouldn't be so upset.
Would he?
each to his own? it appears that you have an agenda that you expect others to follow.
Oh? Agenda?
How so?
I find the pseudoscience forum to be inane. And therefore I find your posts within that forum to be inane. You're in good company though. Several posters who I have some respect for actually spend most of their time in pseudoscience. And I find those posts to be inane because of that.
As I said. To each his own.
Why are you offended? Because I'm patronizing you?
you have a fixed length of time that members should spend in any particular forum? shock?
A fixed length of time? No.
I was just surprised that you had that many posts down there.
I suppose my surprise is a consequence of the fact that I rarely venture into threads down there so didn't realize you frequented it quite so much. I have seen some threads with you posting but thought it was more... occasional than it apparently was.
So. Yeah. I was surprised you had that many posts in pseudoscience.
So?
How would you have responded if I instead said, "Figures you'd have so many posts in pseudoscience." Would that suit you better?
are you not investing too much attention in to my activities here? it is extremely odd considering we barely have a dialogue of any sort. i used to get a kick out of how nosey you used to be but now find it tedious.furthermore i am rather aghast at the obvious trauma you are showing due to my presence on this board
I spend pretty much zero time interested in your activities, actually. I do spend time browsing the forums and thus can't help but to observe your activities along with others.
Nosy?
I suppose that's how you see it when people are interested and actually have a *gasp* memory longer than their dick.
I have no problems with your presence on this board.
Why should I?
You're getting too worked up, bud.
Calm down.
why do you think i isolated and presented it as an independent search? how is that misleading? you think people do not know that it is a sub forum?
very disingenuous but i see a pattern forming. vert the preacher has no clothes
I was only commenting. I didn't mean misleading as in that you were deliberately trying to push off a lie on the 'people'. Just clarifying is all.
The 6 pages in the Sciforums.com forums were one of the few with a greater amount of posts than the 4 in About the Members so I thought it necessary to point out that the 4 pages of About the Members was actually part of that 6.
No big deal.
no, post em too. i can barely remember 2 days ago. who is we? who do you represent. or are you merely trolling?
Heh. We is the mouse in my pocket.
Heh. Just a figure of speech, man. There's no 'we' here. I represent myself. And myself only.
Am I merely trolling?
No. I posted in this thread because I liked the idea of moderator responsibility and thus am backing the proposals to mod the aforementioned people.
And as to posting those posts...
Yeesh.
Come on, man. You're going to seriously tell me you don't remember the shit you've posted?
I'll concede that they're not necessarily 'gossip'. I was merely going with the theme of my joke when I said that. They're flames, but flames which do concentrate on the behavior of the other forum members. Much as this flame war is doing, for that matter.
Heh.
Anyway.
Seriously.
All 'flaming' aside.
A serious question.
Don't you ever want to participate?
Do you honestly believe that I'm not dealing fairly with you?
That I'm biased?
I really don't feel like poring over your history looking for tidbits. I'm not nosey, no matter what you think. I just have a memory and have made observations in my time here.
6. Always refer to yourself in the plural, as though you are speaking on behalf of the whole newsgroup: "all we are trying to say is..." sounds much more pompous than "all I am trying to say is...". When other people join in the thread, the rules are simple: if they side with you, follow-up immediately and enthusiastically, congratulating them on their courage; if they side with your opponent, ignore the tossers.
Heh.
And do you think that I always use the royal we?
There are certain expressions in which 'we' just naturally takes part.
For instance, "We all know that..."
Hey. You know who 'we' is in that statement?
You and me.
We.
It would also encompass anyone else observing and would basically be an invitation for those observing to participate. To sound off on whether their observations match the stated observation or not.
Interesting thing, language.
Do you agree?
of course not. my definition of a troll is one that uses disingenuous and fallacious argumentation. i defy you to find that in any of my posts. spammy... a few. rude....a lot. flames.... tons. in fact if you reworded....you're truly inspired, when you're flaming with other members, i would never argue with that. i go into overdrive. (heh) troll thread. go on read the defs and provide a basis for your accusations in form of links which should provide a context. provide an adequate number to establish a valid statistical inference as to the nature of my posts.
failure will indicate that you are making baseless allegations. i am not the slightest bit interested in your psycho babble.
I've conceded the flaming and gossip issue.
However, the correlation is still somewhat relevant as flaming is often gossipy. It's personal at the very least, yes?
Of course, that would make my gossipy in this interchange of ours...
Such is life.
And. I think your definition of troll is wrong. I don't think that disingenuous is necessarily a part of trolling. A troll can be quite ingenuous. Utterly believing in the rightness of his logic and argumentation. The key element would be in stirring up shit.
I know that I've personally witnessed many initial posts by you that would be considered flaming and shit-stirring. Moreso in the past than the present. I'll admit that. But even so.
lets move on to your retarded logic. you pathetically attempt to link the subject matter of a threadt to my profession, does that similarly make me a physicist if i make a thread about physics? is this guy a pedophile simply because he wrote a book on the subject?
are you deliberately being disingenuous with this line of argumentation? you fucking trying to troll me? (heh)
You're referring to your troll thread?
Am I being disingenuous?
Perhaps. Somewhat.
First. I maintain that disingenuousness is not correlative of trollish behavior. If that were so, then every devil's advocate would be a troll.
Second. I'm not even really being disingenuous. I suppose I was setting up a sort of character witness. A bit of corroboration for your fascination with the trollish occupation. For your nature.
You're proud of your ability to flame, yes?
I generally think that I'm deficient in flaming skills. I have little interest in the subject.
pre-emptively going on the defensive was unwarranted. i find you a intelligent poster and have absolutely no beef with you. it is the present discourse that i take issue with.
Hardly going on the defensive. Merely stating the facts. I was speaking of inspiring threads and the majority of my threads do not fall in the category that I would view as inspiring. Many of my posts do. But only a few of my threads.
Simply being realistic. That's all.
I have no problems with the truth.
this turn of event should be the clearest indication that you are incapable of honest and logical reasoning when your back is to the wall.
you are unfit to be a mod
Perhaps.
Perhaps.
I have certainly considered this as well and this is why I was somewhat facetious with my self-nomination.
Haven't I already said this? I think I have. In fact, I think you're basically just reiterating exactly what I said in what you quoted and in my words around the same location in the post.
However, I do have an intuition that I'd have more incentive with a moderator position with the instilling of the proper feeling of responsibility.
I've mentioned before that I often act on intuition, yes?
This isn't an issue of me being made a mod.
You haven't addressed any of the real issues involved in my proposal.
mmmmm
now we get closer to the truth
this is all about who has the bigger dick
Interesting association.
Poetry and penis size.
What do you think of your mother?
bullshit
i am not stupid enough to fake something that can be very easily checked
i stand by my figures
I wonder why mine don't?
I tried clicking your links and they didn't work.
Let me try again.
Weird.
Yeah. Your links don't work for me.
When I search for posts in my profile, I come up with 204 pages. (I should have known that something was wrong with my numbers.) But, when I search from the search page it won't show all the posts.
I wonder why?
How are you doing the search?
Hmm.
I just don't get it.
Anyway.
Fuck it then.
I stand by my posting record.
(I am confused by this odd search behavior though.)
