Well no. Definitely not whining. But dropping facts, in response to questions or, insults, that people post, is yeah. Honestly, the most alpha thing to do would be to let you guys think what you're gonna think. But I figured, if I reply with facts, a sane person can look at the topic and see how toxic you guys are, plain and clear.
Am I not sane? I feel like I've been trying to address this a little carefully and yet you're ignoring what I think are valid criticisms and commends through some stupid form of "Your opinion of me is wrong and factually incorrect."
Irrelevant, you missed my point.
And you completely missed mine, so I'll go back and do it all again.
And yet you make the claim that you could harm other forumers and assume they'd act the same way they act online?
But online people tend to cultivate fake personas for who they are, instead of being their authentic selves.
Isn't that a tad strange?
You failed to manage the situation because you handled it by not having tame statements. I hope you at the very least realize your fault in this mess.
I like to mention one's online presence reflects on the person they are in real life too, even in spite of these "fake personas".
What kind of person would be as disingenuous online, and then supposedly be "their authentic selves"? A liar is a liar.
Let me restate this then:
How can you so blatantly claim that other forumers are toxic/violent/beta/starfishs/whatever you want to call them and yet someone at the same time, claim that you in real life are capable of having a separate persona, of being a different and better person? What kind of bullstuff is you being some sort of sole exception to this? And you know it really wouldn't kill you to at least admit you have a fault in escalating this situation because you're garnering absolutely no more sympathy. I would criticize Conan for a few things, but I am admittedly petty and would not give you any sort of satisfaction of doing it on a public forum but instead would take it to say, oh I don't know, a personal message.
Oh and those final lines? I'm calling bullstuff on you. I don't think anyone who just acts like an starfish online is some sort of victim. They've always been an starfish. I think the same of you here. A liar is a liar, you'd act just the same irl as you do here given you knew you could get away with it.
