Pre-emptive strike: I apologize in advance for continuing to derail the topic. I
promise this is going to be the last time I do so, because this is the last time I'm going to engage this one directly.
Once again, more ridicule. You just can't help yourself. Why can you and others not conduct one post without stooping to insult and attack? I'm number 2?!?!? Woohoo!!!
The only attention you have brought is to yourself, once again, as per usual. It's the Barc angell show. Take a bow. You deserve a standing ovation.
Please point out the insult and attack for the class, Bark. I see a hearty dose of sarcasm as a direct result of you accusing someone of...I'm not even sure what you're accusing people of, but I fail to see any "insults" or "attacks." I do love that you're numbering us now. Does that make me number 1? Because that's just
FASCINATING. I'd absolutely love to know the scale on which we're being ranked. Is it order of posting? How much we're annoying you? Or simply how accurately we're pointing out your crappy behavior?
But wait, before you do that, I'm bored today. The...whatever he is just left my apartment after proposing and I don't want to have to think about how I'm going to answer him right now. In lieu of facing my own problems, I feel some distraction is in order...so let's start with all of your confrontational BS, shall we? Because I've officially hit my limit where even good ol' memes aren't amusing me anymore. (As an aside, I've moderated a number of message boards on a variety of topics in my time. You would have been banned
ages ago, not because of some personal vendetta you've made up in your head where some secret cabal of board members has united to work against you, but because your behavior has been atrocious and, frankly, intolerable. Worse is that for months I tried
really freaking hard not to get into it with you and to give you the benefit of the doubt, but frankly, enough is enough. I don't know if you're on the spectrum and that's why you lack even the most basic social etiquette, but it doesn't make your behavior okay.)
I just decided to randomly go through your history of posts. Why? See explanation above. I assure you, you needn't flatter yourself into thinking you'd warrant this kind of attention under normal circumstances.
Here's how most posts that devolve into these arguments go when you're involved, Bark. Someone makes a post. You don't agree with it, and you make it clear that you don't. So far, so good - everyone's just stating opinions. Except the one key factor is that when you don't agree, you don't simply say, "Huh, that hasn't been my experience - this is my experience." You turn it into a confrontation. You start asking questions - in and of itself not normally a problem, but the
types of questions are. You're not asking for more details. You're questioning motives. You're questioning the behavior of the person getting the reading. You have, in some instances, attempted to invalidate someone else's experience because it didn't match your expectations. That, love, is what's so confrontational about your postings.
You cannot engage in a civilized manner when someone else's experience does not meet your expectations. I
could sit here and parse through your (substantial) posting history for a slew of examples, but I don't even need to because we have one
right here in this very topic. (For those of you reading, you can assume it was said aloud in much the same voice as Sherlock Holmes would use when explaining how he's come to a brilliant deduction. I'm not even saying it's a brilliant deduction, because it's not - it's straight up obvious; I'm just offering a means of making this slightly more entertaining for yourselves since I'm sure no one is particularly enjoying this.)
This isn't even the first time people have told you that your tone sucks. Every time this happens, everyone's complaint with you has been identical - you talk down to people, you're arrogant, you play the victim (which is absurd), you try to invalidate other people's experiences, and you're rude. You're straight up rude. And every single time, instead of walking away from that experience with, "Okay, well, all these people are telling me I sound like a jerk, maybe there's something to it. Maybe I should consider my tone when I post a little more..." you instead come back with defensiveness and, in some
GLORIOUS instances, the "threat" to leave this board, since you "don't need it" and "don't even read with psychics anymore" (which begs the question, of course,
why this conversation is even happening since I can't even figure out why you're still here if those two statements are true.) Even when people are sort of
defending you, they're not denying that your behavior sucks.
Here's the thing, Bark:
no one asked you to leave until you started making noise about leaving all on your own. All anyone has asked you to do is
stop being a jerk to other people, and then playing the victim when you get called out for it.Like for instance: if someone comes back and says I'm being kind of a dick right now? I'm going to take that in and accept it, because I'm well aware that's what I'm doing. In this particular instance I probably won't apologize for it, because (see item A) I've had enough of your crap. But I'd certainly revise my behavior in future, because the goal isn't to continue to have these confrontations.
They suck and are not in any way, shape, or form fun for any of us.As an aside, you pointed out that you don't need to call psychics, and you know what? I completely believe you, because at no time did I ever intend to imply that it was
psychics you should be calling.
There you go. That's your actual insult. I'm officially done with you. Vent your spleen all you like - you won't get anywhere with me. I've got your number (figuratively, since only God knows just how far your paranoia goes). I know what you're about. And I know that what's going through your mind right now is, "How do I respond to her to ensure I look like the victim and she looks like a bully, because I'm incapable of being an adult and putting on my big girl pants and acknowledging my role in all of this?" Because there's a lowest common denominator in all of these conversations, Bark, and it's not me; I didn't even really get involved until the last explosion. It's not Decibel. It's not...whoever the other three are.
It's you, babygirl. It's all you.Done.
