It’s always been stupid and I’ve said as much plenty of times before. It’s childish to say it when I’m having a rational conversation with him.

What is the gotcha moment with that conversation? What point was I trying to make? I wanted to know his thoughts, I wasn’t arguing just trying to understand. Trust me, if I wanted to argue I would.

Because in my opinion making large sweeping opinions on groups of people is worse than someone else calling someone a fucking loser or dumbass. If he was doing that to people out of the blue then sure I’d clap back.

Dude you never have an honest conversation. You are purposefully obtuse in the most concise concepts and NEVER present your position clearly or concisely. Always obfuscating every point possible. I use to think you were just trolling but at this point I think you are some kind of Aspergers or something.

Holy cow you've whined and bitched and cried about this and your hurt little feelings and how offended you are for days. Toughen up and stop being so soft and offended by EVERYTHING that isn't woke and weak and PC. It's the political forum for adults, not your Anne Murray fans FB page. It was a joke fully intended to tweak your pompous, endlessly blathering, virtue-signaling, sissy sensibilities... and it sure hit its mark. Rub some dirt on it, or some Vagisil, and try to walk it off, son.

@ulukinatme - to be clear before I respond, how do we characterize this post. Do you think that this type of response is warranted?

It's warranted after days and countless posts of you crying and complaining. I left you alone to get it out of your system, but you apparently can't. Yes, I posted it to be both funny AND to intentionally tweak your nose. You post all sorts of stuff that's offensive to others, but we bust on you for it, laugh at you for it, refute your claims in such posts, or just ignore you if it's not worth the effort. What we don't do is cry about it post after post after post for days. You, OTOH...

I'm showing respect to a long time poster who contributes to the actual football related threads. I can respond to you with a harsher tone, but I think it's important to show the difference in emotional regulation that we have.

The conversation was done, Uluk and I weren't responding to each other. It's only being kept alive by you and #1. Feel free to disengage if you think "I'm crying" about it.

I haven't kept it alive. I stayed completely out of it until this morning when it became clear you weren't going to stop crying and complaining about it. Now, toughen up and stop crying and complaining about it. When you stop the Vortex and strawman stuff, stop the endless adolescent attempts at insults to the adults in the group, and stop just being a whiny bitch, I'll lay off you and the board as a whole will treat you with more respect. Grow up. Man up. Contribute something of value to the discussions instead of spinning the vortex and being a gadfly for attention. We'll all treat you better, even me. I'm only a mean SOB when people get down on their knees and beg for it. Stop begging for it.

To be clear, this conversation is going on because people like ulukin and Irish are bitching and moaning and Toronto responded.

@ulukin

Cite.

I stayed completely out of it until this morning when it became clear you weren't going to stop crying and complaining about it.
So now you're crying and complaining...about crying and complaining?..and thus kept it alive after saying you haven't kept it alive.


stop the endless adolescent attempts at insults
Your irony and idiocy knows no bounds.

when people get down on their knees and beg for it.
Keep your wife and her bull's nightly activities out of this thread. Thanks.

Seriously? A whole group of people (regardless of who it is) who have no idea a comment was made is worse than Bua with his insults directed specifically to someone? ;)

Yes, 100%. It's better to have negative views of a specific person than a group of people.

No, it was kept alive by you. I replied back to Ulukinatme. No one forced you to reply to my post to Ulukinatme.

A few years ago I saw a video of a pig twirling a hoop with its snout. Some of the comments made jokes about bacon, pork chops, ham sandwiches and so on. A few of the usual types had meltdowns about "how offensive and degrading that was to the pig." I then pointed out to them that the pig couldn't read and probably didn't see any of the comments, so... They weren't amused. 😁🐖

Seems you are the one calling Colorado a groomer/pedophile. Pretty offensive and bigoted of you to think all trans/gay are groomer pedophiles. Colorado has never mentioned doing drag story hours once and IRCC has called it out of line. I can see how a groomer might want to pull others into his camp and make it appear their sick twisted thoughts are more common and acceptable. "I'm not a groomer, I'm a minor attracted person" Bua probably

The meme is funny. Nothing you ever post is funny so why would you think yourself a judge of humor?
It was definitely you that insinuated I was with the whole he who doth protest too much thing. And for the record I have no problem with drag story hour. Drag isn't inherently sexual. It's no different than someone dressing up in any other costume to read a book.

Hoo boy, hilarious, I saw someone's reply to Bua. For the record, I never called people like Colorado pedophiles or groomers. I reposted a meme of a man in women's wig and makeup, but it was not labeled against any particular sexuality and it was directed toward only one group: child abusers. The person depicted could have been gay, a crossdresser, non-binary, trans, gender fluid, or none of the above and something else all together. There is no label in the meme. I'll call scumbags like child abusers out all day, they don't deserve protection. I don't think all people of the rainbow are child molesters or even a majority, it's a small number like all other groups.

It was a provocative, unprompted and unnecessary post. When I tried to explain the type of impact that meme has for someone like myself you doubled down. Same after you heard what happened to Toronto's friend because of rhetoric like that. You continued to double down when I tried to inform you about the people behind the "gays against groomers" account.

We all agree pedophiles are bad and that they come in all shapes and sizes. There's no need to post what you did. It would be like someone posting the same thing but with a priest as the bad guy instead. It perpetuated a disgusting transphobic rhetoric that directly impacts myself and others like me.

It's already been discussed in DM, but respond however you feel necessary. Don't look to me for moderation or approval, I'm not the board's momma and I have zero power here. If I can be frank, my time is limited currently and I tend to skim and skip over a lot of threads especially if there's a lot of drama when I see it. Some days I only have time to respond if I see someone quotes me in the notifications. For those reasons I find the unrelated off topic bickering to be a waste of time and childish.

My wishes were for less personal attacks, but it seems you feel differently as you say more broad comments are offensive to you. I don't think we're going to see eye to eye as a result as we're on two different sides of the same coin. I fully believe there's been things said on both sides that overstepped beyond anything Bishop said above. Like I said, it's my wish we'd get away from some of the more egregious personal attacks and tame it down as I feel like it serves no purpose. The way I saw it personal attacks are ban worthy on the rest of the IE board, but they're allowed to fly here because it's the Wild Wild West, that was part of the basis for my statement. I do agree that I think you're taking a bit too much to heart with some content, especially the stuff that doesn't pertain to you, but that's your opinion and you're allowed to feel how you feel.



In completely unrelated news, part of the reason I've been busy is I've been out most of the day, stuck in an ER as a doctor tried to remove a popsicle shard from my son's foot. He picked it up at the neighbor's house, a kid left a broken popsicle stick on the ground and it got embedded in deep. After hours at the ER the doctor couldn't manage to remove it despite having imaging and going at it with a scalpel. You couldn't even see it anywhere close to the surface of the skin, it was that deep. We thought we were going to need to wait a week and a half to see the Dayton Children's surgeon, but a family friend sent us to a doc in Middletown that was able to soak the foot and eventually pry it out. A wonderful injury, just in time for Peewee football season! :rolleyes: Between Peewee and my daughter's band I won't be around as much till late October.

Hope he's doing better! Had a similar accident in middle school when I sat on a pencil. Needless to say the wood shard wasn't in my foot tho 😂

While I still feel you're taking it unnecessarily personal as the meme was not directed toward any particular sexuality due to it's ambiguity, I'll try to refrain from posting such memes in the future. That said, while I tend to follow the Gays Against Groomers account rather irregularly and don't see all their content, I think they do good work bringing attention to the subject and calling out child abusers which is admirable. Child abusers come in all types, whether it's straight or not, male or female, Republican or Democrat, and they're all disgusting. That's something I know we all agree on.

If we're being honest, you downvoted me for just pasting his picture and calling him a clown and didn't seem to have any reaction to his tirade that we can both agree was unnecessary. I'm only mentioning this because you wanted both sides to be better and here he is acting like this, I guess I just wanted to see consistency.

He's going to be emboldened to do this on the main threads like he's done countless times before, even banned for it, so it seems he didn't learn his lesson so if his "own side" won't hold him accountable then it's just going to keep happening.

I'll leave this be, I've said my piece.

While I still feel you're taking it unnecessarily personal as the meme was not directed toward any particular sexuality due to it's ambiguity, I'll try to refrain from posting such memes in the future.

This ladies and gentlemen is what we call growth, and actually meaningful dialogue held here. (I'm serious btw)

Like I said I agree with that.

That account hides behind the notion of doing a good thing. Like I said then, please do some research into the group, they're a far right conservative anti trans anti LGBTQ group.

I can appreciate a dark joke as much as the next person. But the joke is only as good as the audience. Posting something proactive like you did on a public forum was only going to lead to volatile conversation. If I recall it was your niece* who struggled with their identity. If she ended up transitioning, I have a hard time believing she would just laugh it off if you sent that in the family group chat

I appreciate having honest discourse on this. I know I said some inappropriate things that night, so I apologize if I haven't already. You just have to understand how that kind of thing can impact people and why I feel I have to say something. A trans person from Denver went missing back in April. They found her body 6 weeks later. It was less than half a mile from where I live, in alley. Memes portraying trans people as groomers or evil people has negative impact on good people just trying to live their lives.

For the record...you did. So you're a lying sack of shit.

I saw someone's reply to Bua.
Also a lie. You can't help but unignore posts and read them. I own you.
Don't look to me for moderation or approval
Then what is all your bitching about?

My wishes were for less personal attacks,
Says the guy who called Colorado and people like her pedophiles.

I fully believe there's been things said on both sides
Name some from your side. Go for it. You have no problem putting the left on blast. Call out your own side. Do what you say Toronto and Colorado aren't brave enough to do. Bitch.

particular sexuality due to it's ambiguity,
There was nothing ambiguous about it.

I tend to follow the Gays Against Groomers account rather irregularly
Another lie.
