    I keep a tabulation of who likes my posts, and who doesn't. I make a little list and then I know who is my enemy.

    No one is getting it. Its like you only see one side. Its not just the mods, other than the ones that directly pile on like julius. Its half the people in this forum that will stand by their buddy when complete hypocrisy is so glaring, its pathetic.
    See above....in my previous post.

    done with the gang of bullshit that preaches being correct and equal and fair yet wilL not stand up for what is right or hold people to the same standards they push on others, when it might put them at odds with one of thier gang.

    Telling me to ignore him, take a break, whatever.

    Not one person is willing to stand up and tell him to stop engaging with me... especially in the face of telling me to not ever utter his name or whatever bullshit he said the other day.

    im sorry, i cant respect people who Don't stick to their ideals when it doesn't comfort them or puts them at odds with the people they follow...

    Not one person called out the complete hypocrisy of this and instead pig piled on. If even one or two people spoke up maybe i wouldn't be inclined to defend myself so much, and wouldn't respond???

    well hcp you aRe right. You won your stupid little game. You and your little hypocritical followers....
    You all can have your silly echo chamber. Ill find another way to enjoy the Blazers with people i can respect. (This doesn't go for the whole forum just the hcp peanut gallery) but unfortunately when others sit and say nothing and let that bs go, but then come down on me if i have any type of response, or let others come down on me without speaking up, it leaves little left to hold onto around here.


    For the record, i didnt bring up hcp or our past issues either. Two other people engaged me about it and i responded, one of which is a mod, lol. So to say its me starting things over and over is simply a lie. A lie everyone sits and lets happen and actually even backs up with likes and blah blah blah...

    some of hcp peanut gallery detest trump for this very same type of behavior....


    Fucking pathetic....

    Anyhow @Propagandist i appreciate the attempt, but the hypocrisy of so many here, has become more than i can bare....

    Because its a sign of the tribalism and allows one to see who will sell out their ideals to make sure they like their buddy even though thier buddy is wrong.
    Lets me know who is worthy of respecting, and who isnt.

    there is your HONEST answer.

    I’m not sure I’d even call it a war. You need two parties who actually care about each other to have a war. It’s not even a battle of you ask me.

    I have spent hours trying to deal with you two both in the forum, privately, and in person.

    YOU KNOW THIS IS TRUE.

    Both of you have refuted my repeated attempts.

    Both of you have the relationship with each other that you want to have. I know this, and I think everyone in the forum knows this. The only two that don't know this is apparently you and @THE HCP.

    You both don't really cross the personal insult line so there isn't really much for staff to do or should do.

    I can like both of you, I can like both of your posts, I can tease both of you, I can be friends with both of you.

    No, I do not have to pick a side in your disagreement with each other.

    I wish that both of you would just fucking leave each other alone. It's like both of you look for reasons to engage the other.

    I do truly like you both, I still believe if you both would just leave the other one alone you could eventually learn to at least tolerate each other.

    I like posts all the time that I don't personally agree with. If someone brings a strong take or good argument to a discussion or debate I'll like it.

    So THAT'S why you like my posts. I knew there was a hidden agenda.

    Oooh god, you've built up my like count so you can get more for me in a trade....

    I'm just concerned about your mental stability is all. This place really seems to be taking a toll on you..... or you wouldn't go on these long daily rants about me, the mods and S2 the way you do. This place is fantastic and well run. I see nothing wring with how it is operated. I just don't know how you have the time to spend here if it is such a horrible experience for you.
    I hope you can get some help with your issues with this forum. Just doesn't seem worth all the trouble off you ask THE HCP. #ForumMVP

    I like posts that make me laugh...el prez, barfo, jlprk, Sly and even HCP and many others have light hearted humor around different perspectives...what I don't like is being grouped as a lefty, hater, double standard hypocritical croonie......it's that simple...this place used to really be fun...when it stopped, I took a couple breaks...,I could easily point out the habitual drama and angst I read here but in the end...it just magnifies it....anybody is welcome to ignore me...I've taken everyone off ignore since my last break from the place...for this place to attract members and keep them engaged it takes cutting some slack...a lot of quality members have bailed over the drama.....I can guess what makes people miserable but for me to fix any problems would be expensive.....life coaching isn't free....I coach liberals, apathetics and conservatives...even nihilists....for a fee

    I'll add, one thing that helped me in the past when I was starting to get annoyed at a specific poster was I changed the setting so I no longer saw people's avatars and signatures. Without the obvious avatar before a post, it makes it a lot easier to read the post, instead of seeing who said something, seeing who liked it, analyzing those likes with previous likes and comments, and THEN deciding what to respond to the post.

    I post something and people LIKE my posts. It's inevitable....... I bring it. It's what I do.
    I have a pretty strong grasp of how he feels about me (How can I not, with the novels he writes about me)
    To be honest, I don't think I really have a problem with this guy. Especially once he got through his rookie season. Just seems like I can do no right with him is all...... no matter how hard I try. He just kinda has this preconceived notion about me and can't let it go.
    I'm willing to try to smooth things out for the betterment of the forum and all you guys.

    @SlyPokerDog , this might just be the turning point this forum needed.
