J... F... C... You have to be the most clueless, lacking in ANY self-awareness dolt I've ever encountered. You genuinely have no idea why so many people block you or roast you or make fun of you, do you?
Remember when you said you respect him as a poster and then made a comment like this? This reeks of small man syndrome tbh. You can be better.

(Putting someone on ignore because you disagree with their political views has to be the most low T move anyone can possibly do.)

I literally had to remove staff member from my handle so softies could ignore me on here. The fact the same softies are on here liking posts about twitter becoming free is fucking HILARIOUS. and so on point.

I can turn it back on any time I want but I do it without protest so some posters can be free to like whatever posts they want to. Haha.

It’s interesting you think that is the only source of info I have. You keep on thinking that my friend.

But to address your point specifically I can get news from thousands of sources evwryday on twitter. It isn’t twitter that’s the source. Can’t believe I have to say this but here are.

I saw just today a person with millions of followers tweet out a conspiracy theory in response to Hillary calling people to publically call out violence against politicians.

The tweet has recently been deleted by the user without any reason why they removed it or why it was posted in the first place.
Your post about the Pelosi attack literally said, "according to my twitter feed." You dug yourself a hole too deep here, bud. You can wave the white flag while most of us give you the eyeroll.

You understand that millions of people post every minute on twitter. Including all news organizations, private journalists and all kinds of sources for local national and global news? It’s literally the largest aggregator of news on the internet. Lmaooooooooo

I have nothing personal against him. I'm not out to get him or have a hard on about him, as he claims. The issue is that I have a profound dislike and lack of respect for arguing in bad faith, strawman arguing, being willfully dishonest, and woefully and willfully misinformed, then getting mad at everyone who points out the ignorance, bias, and childish reactions. When he posts intelligent, thoughtful stuff, I often rep him. Nothing personal, just tired of listening to his dishonest, misinformed BS for 6 years.

As for small man syndrome, please. Give me a break with the silly amateur psychology. And just to be clear, I've never put anyone, Cack especially, on ignore or blocked them. Several others have for the reasons I mentioned above, but not me.

Dude, I'm not going to pretend I'm not guilty of doing the same, but sometimes I feel like you stray into the deep end and aren't aware of where you are. I've never felt the need to block you personally or anyone else yet, I like to see other viewpoints and keep it interesting, but I can understand how it can be a bit much for some.

My twitter feed says otherwise.

Again, this is your post. You claimed "people are fine" with the Pelosi attack because you didn't see enough outrage or hashtags on twitter. This would be understandable if you were 20 years old (and still inaccurate), but that's not the case which is pathetic.

If you went to a local football game, a local restaurant or diner, the grocery store, etc. I would bet a year's salary that 98% of Americans are disgusted that it happened and wouldn't want it to happen to anyone, regardless of political party.

Get. out. of. the. twitter. bubble. It's not representative of the entire freakin country.

This has long been one of Cack's problems: WAAAAY too much reliance on extraordinarily biased social media and news sources. I have a family member like that. They're retired and literally spend 10 hours per day watching MSNBC, and hour of CNN, and reading nothing but far left social media stuff. Their view of the world is extraordinarily inaccurate, biased, misinformed, and narrow... and they're relentlessly angry and bitter about stuff that never happened or isn't true. Cack, my relative, and too many others fall into this trap. They end up angry & bitter, with a terrible grasp of reality, no perspective, and you can't get them to understand why.

Dude there is a deep end and everyone goes into it in the forum all the time. Both sides. Only a few claim to hold the high ground and they are as full of shot as they claim me to be. I’m not worried about that. I’m no where near the worst on this site regarding the deep end. Some people just don’t like what I say.

Nothing personal yet you called him a dolt? You can see how one would take that as a personal attack.

There is quite literally no reason to put someone on ignore if they are only posting messages that you disagree with politically. If they are personally attacking you then sure it's reasonable to put them on ignore. It is absolutely a low T move to put people you don't like on ignore like how they can be real life person if they feel so hurt that they need to block someone on a football forum because they don't like the political opinions. That is snowflake behavior, 100% pussy snowflake behavior. And above all some of these people are "champions of free speech".

(Hopefully this isn't the post that gets the long time member to cry about how toxic the political threads have become yet are liking posts that are personal,......,...,.,.,,.,)

True. I know I can get lost at times, even more so on the football side of things when it comes to defending ND players and staff :laugh: But I can also understand why people may want to mute me because of that. You genuinely don't see why someone may want to block you though, you think they just don't like what you have to say?

Sure. I don’t personally attack anyone specifically. I dont name call. Generally I’d say it’s because they don’t like what I’m saying and that’s fine. People don’t always agree. I can’t imagine people blocking me but whatever. I don’t care. People already know this forum isn’t for the weak of heart. But I find it hilarious that the same people blocking me also are liking posts about twitter being freed. It’s just funny.

Bishop has always been that way. He lurks and waits for me to post something then can’t resist attacking me. I guess if he didn’t he’d be waking around with a massive case of Cack balls. Probably painful.

If the shoe fits. I was being gentle by using dolt. I felt it to be kinder than dishonest, childish, dumbass. :)

I agree for the most part. As I said, I've never blocked anyone or put them on ignore. OTOH, none of the people who've blocked Cack or put him on ignore have done so because they disagree with his political opinions. They've done so because of his petty, childish, obsessive, biased, and all too often ignorant, misinformed, and willfully dishonest and hypocritical ranting. Most of us on the Right disagree with you, Bluto, 41, and several others, but we don't block you or put you on ignore. Cack catches so much flak and pushback because of the behavior I just listed, not because of his opinions.

I don't get the connection.

People that block you are not taking away your free speech, nor are they advocating that you lose it. They just don't want to see your thoughts or interact with you.

Don't confound free speech with selective listening.

That you believe this and still don't get it, despite everything we've told you and how many people have put you on ignore, is exactly why I said you were clueless and lacking in self awareness.

How do you know why those people have put him on ignore? Because I can only remember the instance of a poster going on the website issues thread to complain about how they weren't able to ignore a mod.

Literally everyone in this thread is "petty, childish, obsessive, biased, and all too often ignorant, misinformed, and willfully dishonest and hypocritical ranting" no one in here is better than the other for any of this. I mean look at how often #1 will respond to my comments with 1 line zingers. It's just his MO. If we're really going to go balls deep on "hypocritical" Drayer is in here daily posting polls, when we ALL remember that trope that "polls don't matter omegalulzzzz" was spread in 2020 so you can save the "cack is a hypocrite" line. If you are going to be the purity assigner then please check yourself and others that you agree with. No one in here is above the fray.

Drayer literally said "it wasn't the whites struggling with the swim test" and regularly makes posts like this, if anyone to left of David Duke was sensitive we would have put him on ignore. However, it's the oh so virtuous and honorable Right that is putting people on ignore. Just stop man, we are pigs rolling around in shit.

I'm just gonna keep hammering this (pun intended) until you admit that your take was pure garbage and now you're trying to deflect to save face. Your twitter feed does not represent the entire country's opinion or attitude regarding the attack on Paul Pelosi. End of story.

You can keep on. I get my news from all kinds of places and in this instance I referenced my feed which is populated by news from the largest news aggregator on the whole internet. I guess that’s just to hard to understand. Can’t help you there

Backtracking and deflecting. The question wasn't the news on your feed. Your opinion was based on people's reaction or lack thereof on twitter to the news. You didn't see the reaction/ outrage you wanted, so you drew the conclusion that no one cares. Hot garbage.

After thinking about it can you tell me which sources I should be using? I’m curious

That’s really interesting and wild. I literally got a bunch of people posting the word. Most American accounts some Russian some other languages but mostly account from the USA with hundred of followers. A literal list of hundreds of individual posters posting it with lots of likes and retweet’s sooooo.

From my article above
al on Twitter, there was a 1,300% increase in the word appearing on the platform in various languages, including Spanish, Arabic and Portuguese. At its peak, the word appeared 170 times every five minutes, according to the data.

That seems to contradict what your tweet said.

As of 15 minutes ago I saw hundreds of indivials posting that word in some form or fashion.
I think the guy from Twitter is probably better tuned into what's happening considering they have all of the data and see all accounts.

Why are you on a Notre Dame site calling Notre Dame fans names (an owner, no less) with no consequences? Are you gonna make a lame joke about the Y, now? You really need to be punched in the mouth.
You need to get to the Y and workout some of that hostility.

To trans people deadnaming is offensive, I don't see the benefit in doing that other than to be offensive. I don't think respecting someone's wishes to impede on your day-to-day activities, if it is though then sure I can see why someone would be upset. If you can't see how calling someone a groomer is offensive....then idk man.

If you're being fascist/transphobic/anti-science then you should expect to be called any of those things. Pretty sure I've been called a fascist commie on this site, and you know what? It doesn't bother me in the slightest because I know I'm not any of those things.

Personal experience or anecdotal evidence is the weakest form of any evidence. Because you don't experience something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I can't verify the data in that study either but the pushback on it shouldn't be because you don't see it that it doesn't exist.
IIRC you were the one that got upset because someone thought you were another poster reincarnated and filed a complaint. That's even less offensive than being called a fascist commie.
