Politics Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?

[RR7]

Right. denying behavior, following someone from thread to thread trying to jab at them is sooo mature. Cyber bullying and then denying it is just true adult class.
Right.

None of that is relevant to my post you quoted. I asked that maybe you act like an adult. I see by the response that you can not. I'd ask at a minimum that you put in the effort that I ask of the kids in my class but I dont think that's likely either.

Que sera,sera

Sad thing is. There are enough people that HCP has annoyed on this site that we prolly will never know who the actual person is.
The common denominator is HCP.
But he'll never see that.

nah, the sad thing is some members take this forum so serious they get angry and contact employers

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Yes. Feb 8th 2020 I mentioned it to you in a DM.(I actually still have the DM shockingly)

No need as I said. My character is beyond question.
I may work for the city, but everyone knows my character.

I've always tried to pick my words carefully on this site. At times I've failed. At times I've succeeded.
I failed by responding to the ironic post made by HCP.
I try to admit and own my mistakes.
If more people did that, we wouldn't be so divided as a community. Let alone a society.

I agree with a lot of what you said right there.

All I can suggest is if a future situation like this arises instead of assuming that someone is being a hypocrite maybe they have grown and trying to be better going forward.

I've read enough of your posts to know that in r/l you would treat someone like this.

You could have said to HCP, "I agree, we all need to be nicer to each other and I'm glad you finally see that."

Something like that would have lead to the result you wanted.

Yes it would've achieved the same sharp point.
However the more simple task is to make sure if I visit sportstwo.com I visit it only logged in.. Or not at all.
That way people like HCP can stay on ignore and never be read.
Cyber bullies don't deserve second chances. As they see nothing wrong with their behavior.

While I do believe there is a far better way to handle a situation than going directly to an employer.
There are similar things being employed when someone gets fired for clapping at a lady in traffic using a racial slur. And when someone cyber bullies someone.
Should the same outcome happen?
We just recently had someone rightfully fired for trying to get a black man arrested. When the black man asked a white lady to leash her dog in a leash required area.
The white lady tried to use the ''power'' she believes she has over this black man to get him arrested.
Cyber bullies attempt to assert "power" over their victims in a similar fashion.

Do I think HCP should lose his job? No.
Do I think I should lose my job when I had someone send a letter in to my boss about me on this site? No
But you still must as a person if this happens to you, take a step back and re-evaluate.

Also it doesn't fucking matter what the word is.
If someone asks another person to stop calling them x as they find it offensive.
The person asked to stop shouldn't fucking continue and act like it's not a big deal.
As it becomes a bulling issue then. Oh right it's just the internet who cares if you're getting bullied on the internet.
Cyber bulling isn't a thing. Nope it's fake news/alternative facts.

I wasn't disagreeing with you or saying that what the "x word" is is the point. I agree with you that any form of bullying is wrong. I was simply curious as to what that word was as I've never come across anyone mentioning the "x word" before.

Using x y or z is a variable in language that you may use when you choose to not repeat a word.
Think of it as a math-liek variable.

 

[crandc]

He didn't mention anyone.

You're the one who directly replied to him.

And sure.

I'm biased.

I'm a dick.

An idiot.

I smell.

I'm a jackass.

You aren't a jackass, you're edog.

I do find dogs smelly.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm not sure about being better off than 4 years ago, although I didn't worry about Covid 4 years ago

but considering that the OP of this thread was posted at 8:20 AM, and considering how the thread has 'gone', I was better off 6 hours ago

 

[riverman]

LOL,

Or you could point out how your boy asks me to not do what he did in the very post he asked me in. LOL....

just stop dude....please...I was starting to enjoy this place again but man....you have some serious forum baggage in my view. you have beaten this dead horse into dust and snorted the dust...I'd love to keep my sense of humor awhile longer around here.

 

[julius]

I’m no knight but this @THE HCP pushback is bizarre to me. The guy makes jokes! And people don’t get them sometimes! Is that his fault? I don’t think so.

There are some funny motherfucker in here: @HailBlazers @THE HCP @SlyPokerDog @barfo and the list goes on and on and on. Humor is what makes us human that’s why even though @EL PRESIDENTE rubs me wrong from time to time, I still (begrudgingly) think he’s funny.

For those learning to be more lighthearted: when in doubt, assume it’s a joke.

@SlyPokerDog, ban this user. My name was omitted.

You never go to any of the forum events so none of us know just how funny looking you are.

 

[Minstrel]

It's a shame that certain posters on this forum don't have the self-control and maturity to simply not engage with people they either don't like or continuously get into arguments with. It's such a simple fix, which leads me to believe that these particular posters don't actually want to solve the problem, they want the attention.

 

[julius]

Oh, this was about funny looking? Well, then I withdraw my request for banning.

 

[Orion Bailey]

You have a habit of building strawmen and then wanting me to respond.

Go back in this thread.

HCP posted. Didn't name anyone. I saw that. I laughed. It was a self awarewolf post. (Self awarewolf post - people who criticize others, do so in a way that reflects as an accurate criticism of themselves.)

But I did agree, we all need to be nicer to each other.

Then instead of just laughing at him and moving on you just have to reply. Which is your right, you did nothing wrong. But honestly, you had to have known once you did things were going to devolve where they are right now.

Then HC replied to him. Again, he could have just let it go. HCP didn't mention anyone in his original post but nope. We have to start going there.

He didn't mention anyone but both of you start replying back.

Again, nothing wrong, and while I wish neither of you did, HERE.WE.GO! Running off topic and bring up past BS that has honestly calmed way the fuck down.

Then you make multiple posts including this one that claims a completely different order of how this conversation evolved.

1. HCP posted first.

2. You replied directly to him.

3. HC replied directly to him.

And somehow we get to the point where I'm biased and a liar.

You are correct. I am incorrect. I didn't realize you were referring to my very first post that had subsided and I thought, and had made, several posts after. So, I did quote him and make a comment.

My error, but then I didn't notice any issues following it, so didn't think that was an origination of this. Nonetheless,. I was wrong on that.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T HAVE SELF CONTROL?!?

Its a fault. Thinking that somehow it will have a different more mature result. Thinking that maybe this is the moment that the corner can be turned.. and so I try....

Pretty easily turned to both parties involved being at fault.

Oh damn you! now my comment makes no sense. YOU DID THAT ON P...aah fuck it. I've been out of work for basically 10 weeks now, I can't even fake faux outrage over such a trivial issue.

Some of y'all need hobbies.

 

[calvin natt]

If I am better off today than i was four years it is because of me, my friends, family, Co workers. It sure as FUCK has nothing to do with the piece of shit in office. What a weird thought/question.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Significantly.

 

[HailBlazers]

Some of y'all need hobbies.

Agreed, bunch of losers. Every last person who posted in this thread.

 

[Strenuus]

No.

My gains have come because of the field I work in. We have the shittiest person in office. Hes ruined this country. There is no argument.

Wait a minute. Posting funny memes in threads where people are losing their shit IS my hobby.

Oh, there are arguments, but they're not necessarily compelling.

I put 8 trout in the freezer today and the wife grilled two more for dinner tonight.....both got our limit. Amazing what happens when you don't watch TV at all.. Best hobby I took on 3.5 years ago was not drinking booze....all of a sudden you find a lot to do
