@falcon9:
RARE occaisions??? ohhh, sarcasm.
I did admit to being fluent in the sarcasm dialect of English, yep.
It's humorous how people take the liberty to post whatever they want and then get all offended when someone else posts a response. For every action, there's a re-action...people should think about that before they post.
From the pattern you refer to, it can be extrapolated that such people
don't want anything but a response in agreement, (even any "me to" replies don't count towards the FC contributory requirement for the bonus). From their subsequent responses, (e.g., complaining ones), those same people most emphatically do
not want a dissenting viewpoint in response, nor do many of them bother to admit this or, to refute. Instead, they characterize such dissenting viewpoints in all manner of facetious ways - as long as those characteriztions are as far from being accurate as possible - and "report" such as "rude"/"offensive" and all manner of derrogatory adjectives ... while
'conveniently forgetting' that their
own previous remarks can easily be perceived in teh same way as the subsequent response. What all that boils down to is that there are some who want to be able to spout just about any specious assertion while sanctimoniously 'demanding' that there be no dissent to their 'unconsidered opinions. The fact that such an attitude is inherently unreasonable never seems to occur to them.
It also strikes me as funny how "all the complaints" have been coming from the same few all the time. The same few that have said they believe in the power of prayer. I would think if the "forum issues are too much for them to put up with" that they should be spending more time praying about it and less time "trolling".
I'd be willing to estimate odds of about 51%+/- 3% that at least some of them
have spent time "praying" that something untoward befall me. I'd consider such as intercessory magical rituals of a hostile intent and so would certain
practicing 'witches' I know of ... witches who aren't quite as "fond" of xtians as I am.
I've seen more than one post where they are definitely baiting you...which means they'll be crying again in the near future when they've "reeled in more falcon9 than they can handle".
Yep, the moderator has seen this too which likely accounts for why I haven't been censored or banned as yet, (notwithstanding my failure to break any of FC's Terms of Service; unlike at least three of the ones "baiting/trolling" me have on multiple occasions). It's been my general policy, since the long ago days of the infamous 'flame-wars' of usenet, to 'feed trolls that which is indigestable and thus, starve them'.
