Peddle your crap elsewhere John. It's obvious what you're doing with all of your talk about search engines and linking statements to people and how apparently all of these important people come here. You're not the smartest person in the room, like you like to think you are...you're actually pretty transparent... EDIT: P.S. The brony thing is fucking creepy, and no matter how you try to dress it up, it's not going to change that.
I'm not the smartest person in the room, but I am pointing out what words can do and how far they go without people realizing it. Gee, what the fuck would I know, having been on the internet for 20 years? Having been in IT for well over a decade? Seriously, don't start with me. You just agreed with Flashlight's pronunciations of just who people really are, which takes you down one hell of a notch in my book, because Flashlight is a useless troll who brings nothing to the table but monkey shit. It's all he has. You want to dine with him? Fine, but when it hits the fan don't project it in my direction. I'm not banning him, I wouldn't do it myself anyway, because before I ban someone, I get permission from the people higher up. Banning is a last resort. What I was doing, was laying the foundation for Flashlight to stop his shit. I have been asked by a couple of members to look into banning Flashlight, and I have refused. So take your load of shit elsewhere. Goddammit, if there's something I despise more than assholes who vent their shit on everyone else, it's tedious people who think they know what the fuck they're talking about. I'm not banning Flashlight, you moron, and even if I wanted to, I wouldn't do it because I respect the people above me. I will say that I don't like Flashlight, and that he is a detriment to this community, that if he left it would only improve. I will say that, but I won't be banning him anytime soon unless the people higher up decide it needs to be done, and I won't have to try to convince them. They can read.
This is what Flashlight really picks up on: Not truths, but the little trickles of irrational hatred. Your reaction to others' interests, enjoyments, and, yes, desires is truly creepy.
Now you just sound like Garamet, crowbar twisting what someone says into some weird ass "thought" from your head. I'm sorry, finding it creepy that a grown man watches a show made for little girls is a truth. No matter how much you want to PC it up and try to treat it like real forms of discrimination.
I sound like garamet for insulting you with a twist of your words? So you're saying my insult wasn't fair? You're bad at this, and you're not getting a do-over. You'll have to go with what you have. I'm sorry you came unarmed. You're one of the only people I know who has a cross with a quick connect system.
It's not that you can't read or comprehend, kitten, it's just that you've turned off your higher brain functions. You think you're trolling. You probably saw Flashlight's posts and your dick just popped up like the button on a basted turkey, and you thought you could come in here and just have some fun being the lackey of a shit-for-brains troll like Flashlight. If you want to race to the bottom, go right ahead, but it's sad to see someone who had the potential to do something more than breathe and take up space, just throw it all away for nothing.
I can't get to grips with the Brony thing either, despite having tried. But what does the Brony thing have to do with the alleged "truths" that Douchelight is purported to have uncovered?
LOL...this place a just a long running joke...do you think I care whether I'm in your club or not? and you can sputter and spit and get indignant all you want and try to dismiss everything with a sweep of your hand "flashlight is a troll". That may be the case, but as this thread has shown, his "trolls" in regards to WF, the members, and the owners are pretty much spot on... Again, I think many know that too, that's why it's so affective at pissing everyone off...people don't like have a light shined on their faults.
They're baseless accusations, but they are accusations, and they're big goddamn words that have real impact on people's lives. He throws them around carelessly, like a baby with a bomb. That's why it matters. You should know better.
And that's why I know you're laying the foundation for a ban...whether you do it or you get someone else to do it for you.
I was just thinking it would be generic shit. There are a number of posters who generate massive quantities of it.
Discrimination? No. I suppose it could become that, in completely different circumstances. But you need to have a minimum of power to discriminate against someone. I'm not calling your attitude discriminatory, but perverted; and less specifically but more importantly, hateful.
John, chill out man. All you are doing is rising to Flashshite's crap. The guy is a troll, and bringing in dead family members shows how much of a low life he is. Everyone in the thread jumped on him. He's a dick. Don't feed him
Yes, Stallion is right. I completely understand that it's difficult to let it go, @John, and would react very similarly if it were about me. You read the accusation, and it doesn't quite go away in your mind despite everything. But speaking from the privileged point of an observer who wasn't targeted: This one is too weak. Any minimal power it gets comes straight from you, nowhere else -- not "hardly anywhere else", as is usually the case with trolls. Flashlight failed, 100%; no need to spend another thought on it.
I've received a bit of advice from several people, the two of you included, and I'll certainly give it weight and consideration, thank you.
Actually I would go as far as to say it's discrimination as it's not just about watching a pony cartoon. Douchlight, for one, is using it as evidence of sexual perversion and peadophilic tendencies. That you can't just be a bit weird, immature or whatever and like the cartoon, rather than it's impossible to like it without being some sort of twisted sexual deviant. That's when it starts being discriminatory.
I think that argument went out the window when he started making cracks about another member's late wife. There's no "shining a light on uncomfortable truths" there, just cruelty.
