Don't you see that he was either instructed or took it upon himself to deflect from a rather relevant point? I'd prefer to stop but I know that it will start up at some point no matter what it is that I do.
There are certain guys that post here, only about 3 by my count now, that have agendas.
One of them will get drunk and start a thread in a couple of days about me that Fraternization will choose to ignore.
The other two will stupidly troll for the purpose of antagonizing me. It's old hat at this stage. If you want this to stop call them.on it. I have demonstrated that I can ignore them.
What I will not demonstrate is that I will be bullied.
When it happens call them on it if you want it to stop.
If you are uncomfortable with that then I will handle it as I see fit.
People on here are tired of all that but some guys obviously aren't. I don't care about responding. Obviously.
It is tiresome, tedious, and boring but oh so necessary.
There is a fairly prolific poster on this board, and he and I are not fond of one one another. We have made no bones about it. Yet we have managed to avoid each other, not bait each other, etc. for the better part of a year. It's not about deference, or acquiescence. The best way to avoid a fight is not be there.
I actually do that. It doesn't stop it though. I feel as if the end game is to run me off. At least JLN was honest about it.
When you see the same group of guys popping up all the time it ain't on me and the only times guys on here seem to get their panties in a bunch is when I decide to respond. Then its "you're screwing up the board time". Poster after poster have vacated this place. Some were vocal and some not so vocal about the racist B.S. that was said on here.
While this was going on they were attempting to twist it as if I was the problem. Sure some had a problem with the non stop arguing but MANY of the guys that left were guys I didn't have an issue with.
Meanwhile these same dudes ran around bitching me and tacitly condoning the racist B.S that went on here.
Racism is a problem and for the record I didn't start the thread. But if we are going to talk about Toxic and America then we also need to discuss the group of enablers that incessantly condoned the behavior.
Some people just weren't comfortable discussing it either way and that's fine. It's not for everyone. There are some that clearly chose sides though. It's hard for me to sit back and stay quiet when I see this same group start threads about preserving the purity and sanctity of this place even as they sought to shout people down that had a problem with racists.
If people have a problem with it then so be it. If they want me gone to create a more congenial atmosphere then fine.
I will leave with my virtue intact. That's what matters to me most anyway. Not some dudes on a message board.
