Serious and Respectful Question:
Are you completing your PhD thesis on this game? I have told you 101 times, these guys have been friends for 2 decades. What do you think you can change?
They harass me all the time, yet I still like 95% of them. Why? Because my thick skin snd dark humor helps me get through it.
Example: even those who like me call me a cuck sucking faxxot. Even if they don’t LGBTQ folks they respect ME as a member and leader. I shoot witty comments back. See the thing is. My life is 10% who I sleep with and married too. But 90/% of who I am, my respect, my life, sense of humor, willing to joke back, run my house snd dogs and enjoy cars etc. they support the 90% of all the other things I am. And they are respectful most of the time on the 10%
Seems as if I keep needing to remind you, these guys aren’t changing after 20+ years. But I’d yiur aooeoaxh was different maybe you’d bet better results. And I mean this respectfully. But my friend, every thread turns into you being some sort of victim of offended, or civil rights martyr. Again I say this with all the respect in the world. This was about politics and it turned into another thread about you.
Try twitter, Snapchat, insta, or tik tok. You may find a more supported wide range of supporters who share your opinions. But you keep going in and on thinking you’re gonna change these folks. Save the energy and time to a demographic that would appreciate your input. But this is getting really old. I’m sorry to be harsh but it’s just never gonna be the place you “want”
I'll answer -
I'm not actually trying to change anyone. And I know full well they won't change.
I just don't like a lot of these people. And they don't like me.
My goal is to simply, and repeatedly, point out every point of hypocrisy that they engage in.
Derrick wants to call me vitriolic for insulting others. But he won't call Ko vitriolic when he insults someone that doesn't agree with him politically.
Derrick is being internally inconsistent with how he treats people. And he isn't treating me based on my actions, but rather his opinion of me. Which is fine. AND I know it won't change... but I'm having fun pointing it out nonetheless.
As far as this thread being about me. It's not. It's not at all about me. It's about KO, his political views, and his insulting of others. I'm just the vector for putting his poor behavior on display.
Now if you want to act like the thread is now about me because I'm highlighting him being a jerk to someone else, you can do that. And if the thread somehow morphs into being about me because so many people respond to me, and argue with me, well that's on ya'll.
No one has to respond to me. No one has to argue with me. But you all keep doing it. So if this thread is about me, it took more than just me to make it that way.
Lastly, none of this has anything to do with me feeling aggrieved, or wronged. I'm not offended, hurt, or bothered by anything that was said here. Hell, none of it is even about me, despite you all trying to make it that way.
Someone else was aggrieved, and I pointed out the responsible party. I did so with a giant smile on my face, laughing at how ridiculous Ko is. And how much fun it is to me to point out all the things they like to accuse others of.
In short, I find entertainment in watching many of these people continue to attempt to out maneuver me on these forums. I find it hilarious how the group-think mentality works. I love the fact that everyone wants to gang up on me. And how much everyone high-fives each other every time they think they landed a zinger. I am amused by how much everyone thinks that my feelings or hurt, or that this game somehow means ANYTHING to me at all. The only reason I even post the threads about being attacked is because I want to highlight yet another way the words and actions of my enemies never align, the goal posts always shift, and these people are fools.
I know it won't make a difference to anyone. There are like 35 people who even play this damn game. And 30 of them hate me. You think I'm stupid, Doug? I'm not here to make friends. If I wanted friends, you'd think I'd be smart enough to take a different approach, no?
Here - let me explain what I'd do if I wanted to make friends.
1. I wouldn't argue with anyone on the forums.
2. I'd tolerate people using ridiculous and immature language and insults. Hell, I might even participate. Maybe do a little imitation of their behaviors, jump on the bandwagon, insulting others. Show them that I can be one of the guys.
3. I'd go full anti-LaF. Insult Gerd and TC.
4. I'd apologize privately to certain individuals. Even if I didn't have anything to apologize for. I'd go with hat in hand and tell them how they were right. I was taken advantage of. I want to rebuild fences and learn to play 'the right way'.
5. I'd never say anything about anyone attacking me. I'd send them congrats messages in game, and compliment them on a good gang bang. I'd be the BEST SPORT EVER.
I could have easily become friends with many of these people. I just don't like them. And I don't want to be their friends.
I think that's what you miss about my intentions and behaviors, Doug. I'm not trying to get along. I'm doing the exact opposite.
