Oh man, Suki.
The first thing I want to address is your unformatted text thing, for a reason: it is incredibly hard to muster up the willpower to read large blocks of text often lacking in punctuation. Surely just as hard to find appealing as "20 page comments." We've discussed this with other users. In all seriousness, yes, it's not a dissertation but man, go easy on us. Also it's only about as arrogant for me to point out as my long responses were a comment or two back on your part, so let's consider ourselves even.
Huh, lol conspiracies are my beliefs ? umm nope, i simply made a comment that i like some of them, because i like mysteries and what ifs, now suddenly im a supporter of IS and laugh at vicitms families of Jihadi John, such accusations ?? :/
Nope. That's not what I wrote, that's not what I was saying. And the comment about your beliefs was mostly in reference to this thread (
http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=26310.0 ) which I'm not surprised to see you still think was me attacking you.
I would try to go on and rephrase what I said in this thread to try and make it clear what I was saying and how you misunderstood me, but you know what, suki, I fell over myself in that linked thread trying to explain myself to you and to apologize and to keep you from getting upset, and now, the second time around, I can't muster a single fuck, so a "nope" will have to do. I tried, I really did, so just no.
So I'm also somehow not surprised to see that your heart has been bleeding for the aspartame guy, who had the same two problems as you: failure to understand what he read, and the misunderstanding that feeling insulted equates to being personally insulted.
I had never personally insulted him, but he spent weeks throwing escalating personal insults at me, all the while adding "let's be civil." You are aware, suki, that just because someone is saying "let's be civil" doesn't mean they
are being civil.
But if you don't believe me, I invite you to go back and look. What you will see, though, is several users stepping in and trying to get him to stop with the personal insults over the span of the entire thread and saying they couldn't take his responses seriously while they were littered with them. They became so inappropriate that finally an admin came in and told him his remarks were completely over the line and gave him a smite.
Still, I'd buy and eat a hat if you ever bothered. You don't really care what happened, you just have felt slighted ever since I criticized your hoax science articles and have been rooting for whoever gets in a spat with me since.
Note that he wasn't banned after that, by the way? He was banned after several rape justifying remarks that many users argued with him over before he received a ban
because he broke the rules. That sounds like my fault, I guess. If he wasn't so distressed that I spent two weeks trying to explain the fundamentals of research and science to him, he wouldn't have been victim blaming women who get raped.
Similarly, anyone who has been banned who I argued with had been banned for a reason. The mods aren't stupid. They can read. Also,
how many users have been banned after we argued? Mrasheed, who seemed to be quite enjoying our exchange and we were being pretty polite to each other, and that wally guy who, thinking I was a married man, advised me to shoot and kill my wife because all women cheat on their husbands and that wife-killers were just being smart by making the first move.
Good god, suki, you pick strange people to defend.
and it has been pointed out to you and even by yourself many times that you tend to get rid of people,
This has been an ongoing and less than serious joke between Qtian and I because of how RamiRustom (sp?) up and left in the middle of a debate with Ishina that I wedged myself into about a book which I had a physical copy of and was telling him what the book actually said. I think I've committed worse crimes than this. I invite you to find this discussed anywhere that wasn't banter between Qtian and I.
Anyway, you're right in that sometimes I do come off as more harsh than I mean to. I do think it has something to do with my writing style, maybe, or just the words I use, or maybe I'm just kidding myself and I'm a harsh person anyway, so I used to pepper my comments here with emoticons to try and make a buffer, but it's probably more in my word choices. I'm absolutely sure I do come off as cocky or arrogant or just too blunt sometimes online, especially if I get going on some science subjects. I try to tone it down, and I think I've been pretty quick to issue apologies if I ever unintentionally offend.
So for the record, I don't mind being corrected for this, and there's actually a couple users on here who are probably tired of me asking after I post something, "Did that sound mean?"
But I think we can safely say that this is a lost cause between you and I, so you ought to just put me on ignore and spare yourself what has clearly been months of building annoyance at scrolling by my posts.
Anyway, even if you missed the point of my comments here, this was a thread about conspiracy theories and as you can probably tell, I'm of the firm opinion that most of them are incredibly destructive and I don't think it's the most amazing thing in the world to speak positively of them, especially not of ones like the example you gave where the beheadings were in front of a green screen. That's actually terrible. I stand by my position that you should not be saying anything positive about shit like that.
It could have been literally anyone--besides Ishina, who still strikes fear into my old bones--and I would have responded the same way. It wasn't about picking on you.
