Just trying to insert a little humor into the thread. Another failed attempt on my part, much like in the Question About a Girl thread where I got the neg rep.

How does one get a neg rep in the Question About A Girl Thread? You must have gone way past full tard.

 

[BeauBenken]

It is. So what's your suggestion for handling someone who is pushing a religious agenda on a football site? And don't tell us to ignore it. If we wanted to ignore it, this thread wouldn't exist.

Probably what Lion said:

Is he pushing an agenda, or is he hitting a button that says, "I disapprove of this post, here's a tiny red bar"?

If someone said something positive about FSU, and it was their opinion, they shouldn't be neg repped for it. Same concept. The reality is that he is going around trying to pressure the rest of the board to change to fit his values.

I don't think this is really the case, and never in a million years would I support someone trying to do something like that. Like I said before, freedom of speech is a two way street. You can say something, he can disagree...and wait a minute...you're freely allowed to disagree with his disagreement like you're currently doing!

Are you truly feeling pressured to change? Because you have made it clear that you're not going to, and the only one who looks like they're really being pressured to change is the poster who has been called out several times and harassed for giving people negative reps.

Whiskey is my vice.

FIFY.

Absolutely true, people can say what they want, but the reps are an electronic version of a "pat on the back" or a "slap in the face" and we don't do that when we talk face to face, even when we disagree.

He doesn't even deny it and started a prayer group. How in the heck could someone not see that his intent is to push his values on others? I didn't even think that was debatable.

So he is the one being harassed? His actions is what has caused all of this. How are we not being pressured to change? That is exactly what is pissing people off. How have you missed all of this?

FIFY.

Ok?

since the thread is titled 'blasphemy', you should have said "God's Penis".

I'll bet it's girthy.

So when you neg rep someone, you're imagining slapping them in the face? That's messed up man.

FIFY.

Associating with me does have its risks:

Though instead of Donny's ashes, it's usually long boring articles about religion, philosophy and foreign policy. Or spreadsheets.

Sorry, you didn't like my Whiskey joke? Damn. I thought it was sort of clever.

A prayer thread in which you don't have to participate is pushing his values on you? That's like saying they built a church down the street and it offends you.

I would love to see someone try to make a harassment case out of "this guy on the internet pushed a button that says he disagrees with me", whereas the other person is being publicly called "clown" and sarcastically being told to enjoy their "righteous-filled day". Not to mention that an entire thread was made to call them out.

And saying he is pressuring you to change...his neg reps could never amount to enough to affect your posting. You're probably actually getting a lot more positive reps than you have ever received negative reps for arguing your case as we speak! Stop acting like you're a victim when you're in the freaking majority (more people align with you than not and it shows through your reputation).

 

[kmoose]

So much anger from you.

I'm not angry at all. I'm just pointing out that I am not your homie, and I would prefer you not try to act like we are buds. I don't have any issues with you, but neither are we pals.

Is hombre, cool?

Not really.

I'm still not sure why you can't just ignore his neg reps. I mean, how many neg reps have you gotten from him? If you ignore them, then he is not able to enforce his views on you, now, is he?

I remember when you were a sweet young lad living above a flower shop... moderator status has made you a bitter old man.

The prayer group doesn't offend me, obviously. It is just credence to the fact that he has an agenda. That was all I was saying. Again, there have been three threads on the matter and multiple incidents where mods had to clean up threads. As you mentioned above, I'm not alone with being annoyed by him.

Ok. I'm still not sure why can't you just ignore me? I mean, how many times are you going to address me in different threads? If you ignore me, then I wont be able to annoy you with my posts, now would I?

Sorry that you don't want to be internet friends with me. I'll make sure to not mix pleasantries with someone of your distinct distaste for minions such as myself. A million apologies.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

I did laugh this time. I have no agenda. By the way, I rarely post on IE or in the prayer group, for that matter. I come to check out the daily goings on and that is it.

You joke about the bitter old man thing, but seriously guys, I'm 21 and have serious gray hair.

I disagree to call it an agenda. Do I think he wants us all to be good Christians? Yes, but that's like, his opinion, Dude. Saying he has an agenda, to me, makes him sound like he is a Russian spy sent to infiltrate us or something.

As for how annoying it is, I said it before, I get that you want answers, but it's not his fault for someone's response to his neg rep.

You have posted 9 times in the prayer group over the last month and almost half of the entire posts in it, belong to you. So that is simply false.

If you have no agenda, then quitting the neg repping should be no problem, eh?

You asked me a question, and I answered.

But keep ignoring the fact that your distaste for Admiral Backhand's reps is something that is all on you. If you don't like the way they make you feel, then change how you react to them.

I'm using personal agenda as reference to his end goal. It means that he has other reasons for wanting this position (check), personal reasons (check), an ulterior motive (check). He seeks this position to have leverage when it comes to things he wants to see happen (check).

I didn't say his agenda was to take over the world, but he certainly has one. It's to change to tone of the board to his christian leaning prerogative. By neg repping those who use, in his opinion, blasphemous language. Thats all.

What is "this position"? What position is he trying to get?

 

[woolybug25]

You caught me.

Apparently I have.

Are you going to stop neg repping everyone?

 

[kmoose]

I think AB is pitching, and wooly is tired of catching.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

No, I will use the rep system to how I see fit.

And I answered you, non internet friend.

How is it "all on me" when there have been two threads on this before mine? Go take a look at his message board and tell me that its isolated just to me. Give me a break.

 

[woolybug25]

No, I will use the rep system to how I see fit.

And I will call you out as I see fit.

See... this is your deal. What thrill do you get out of wriling everyone up like this? If your schtick wasn't framed around christianity, a mod would have stepped in and put you on a break. What you are doing is trolling, and doing so in cowardly way. One where you hide behind your religious convictions.

Because I will rep or reduce rep? Yup, a cowardly Christian for neg repping something of distaste to my God.

wooly....... a serious question here......... what happens if everyone just rolls their eyes when they get a neg rep from the Admiral, and ignores it?
