You’re a sweetheart as always Maes. This person Johnny is trolling me, not to be confused with calling someone a troll. You see my robot pic that I put there as a badge of honor and reminder of the time awoken called me a bot. That is the dim witted bot he is talking about and he is wanting you to explain to me that this place is a cess pool of people who have targeted this forum because of all the wisdom and truth the people share here.Idk whats going on.
I think an argument turned ugly. So emotions took over. Cooler heads prevail.
I PMed a poster trying to understand as much as them. In the end, we put our best foot forward. Everyone is happy. We get paid, get laid and snort some cocaine, lets party.
*I don’t condone snorting cocaine as that is against the law. Any cringe within aforementioned post is for entertainment purposes only and is trademarked by Maes17LLC. Any action taken upon aforementioned post is not advised and prohibited
he wants to help me understand what a serious subject this is because my comments and one of the people in the letter gave the impression that I’m not taking this seriously. For all the big brains out there worried about every poster being a troll around here. You’re not jumping through hoops to make sure that you share the plans for cold fusion to save humanity or something. Few people will ever care what you have to say about Covid or politics or religion. The lot of you that seem to think that you are some variation of an instagram influencer with an audience as a member of a forum, is just ridiculous at this point.
most of the people who come here are going to be regular people because this is a small place that isn’t really that much of a threat to anyone. This is like the Equivalent of a small chain store that only exists in the Midwest and most people have never heard of before. Take your ego down a notch. There are only going to be a handful of people in this world that are ever going to be interested in being a shill or a troll around here.
since I have been here, there has been one primary troll. Most everyone else struggles because we all struggle with extreme bias from time to time. And you are not really dealing with shills or trolls. This is the way you imagine a conflict that you have with someone who has a bias you don’t agree with, to be larger than life so you can imagine yourself in a more heroic sense.
so it had nothing really to do with the pm that seems to demonstrate that some people are way too vested in identifying these people around here.
I also must be a very very very advanced internet bot to scan for and identify myself within a post that isn’t quoting me. I would be worried about this if I were you, but wait, you are clearly very worried about this already. So I should say that you should be even more worried than you already are.
and if a high post count is an indication of being a shill, I would suggest looking at the list that shows who has the most posting. There is someone on this list that also fits this description, but I know this is always okay when they are people you agree with. It has nothing to do with being a shill most of the time, and an ego check would do many of you some good. No one wants to troll most of you. Like seriously, there are places getting thousands and thousands of more views and exposure to concern themselves if the point is to shut down alternate opinions.
it doesn’t make this a safe place, but let’s be a little more realistic about the size of your audience please.
Hopefully, they will keep their discussion about schooling this bot in their pm’s from now on where they can indulge in their delusions that every one with a different opinion is a threat to their message or that the people with different opinions care at all about making sure that there is something to counter the loads of crap some of you have been posting. I don’t. I do not care about whether the casual observer has a counter view to whatever crap you are posting. I feel no obligation to protect them from this nonsense evidenced by my frequent breaks and ability to leave threads that become repetitive and join new ones instead of rehash how and why we disagree every time I come around.
but sure I’m a Professional forum shill or a bot. Take your pick. I’ve been called both and more than this in the years that I have been here at this point.
tldr: I don’t care, and Maes. You’re a sweetheart. The rest of you. The looming threat of a shill behind every new poster is in your head. I’ve been here for years now. It’s in your head.
