Actually, I think I was pretty clear I DON'T actually wish those things. I said "my inner Trump" but that to do so was wrong. It's pretty clear satire, bucko.

But go ahead and defend the sensibilities of folks who want to keep "those people" in "certain neighborhoods" from voting.

You're dead wrong here.

Brainbomb is just making blanket assumptions against people that do things he doesn't like (vote a way he doesn't like, own a gun, etc). I thought liberals were supposed to be open-minded and not just universally apply judgement to people with different beliefs. What happened to diversity and tolerance?

The stuff I have exposed tonight (multi-accouters, Ogion's violent statements, Brain's hypocrisy) is just so much.

@ND

he said VIOLENT people who own guns,

NOT

gunowners ARE VIOLENT

syntax dumbass.

and @brainbomb

eh. not always true.

Yeah, I should probably stop engaging with people like that. Good point. I'll try.

And if I misinterpreted the statement about violence/guns then I apologize.

@PE & ND

I don't always agree with what you have to say, and not ALWAYS how you say it, but even you guys surpass Ogion in intelligence.

Notice, ND, how he doesn't even care what our actual positions are. We've said nothing about keeping anybody from voting; in fact, this is the first time it's even been brought up as far as I remember (maybe it was in the link dump I didn't read). Another tactic to bait us into a toxic conversation that drags everybody down.

@ND

that simple apology is more than he could ever do.

Lol. "reject playing that game in the first place" You can't be a Republican and lay ANY claim to that. What I did was reflect your own candidate's words back to you. I couldn't do that if Republicans were not, in fact, precisely playing that exact game in the first place.

I see you missed the point. You can't decry the tone of words of a candidate you were just trying to convince us was a great guy and then credibly claim you were right in the first case. If you find what I wrote somehow wrong, you've just conceded you were wrong to support Trump in the first place, because what I wrote is just what Trumpism is.

You're right, it should offend you. As it should offend you when Trump said it. But somehow it's ok when he does? Even you can see the logical problem there.

ND is triggered by a satirical comment about gun owners; not by the notion that if Trump loses there will be public beheadings, rapings, mass shootings...

I just imagine him nodding; yes, yes, yes, yes - Wait GUN OWNERS WOULDNT BEHEAD PEOPLE THEY HAVE GUNS.

Right. Do we need a link dumb to Trump's comments about voter suppression? Or the consent decree the Rpublican party is under to not intimidate minorities out of voting? You don't really want me to do that.

Again, if we're talking about Trump, the conversation is already toxic because that's what Trump is. If he weren't I wouldn't be able to quote stuff of his that is toxic. If everything Trump has said were noble and high minded, then quoting him would leave me with nothing but noble and high minded words. Obviously, that isn't the case.

@brainbomb

oh... well if that WAS about gunowners, then that's a little assholery. satire wasn't even in context

Just a friendly reminder that making cheating accusations in the forum (or in game press) is against the site rules.

Point of correction. ISIS has guns. They still behead people.

However, looking at the news, right wingers still prefer just guns.

Funny how if a black guy does this, somehow #blacklivesmatter wants to kill all cops. When a white alt-right extremist does, crickets. Funny, that.

@peterwiggin.

That genuinely made me laugh. Thanks.

@jmo: I am not really that unmindful of the site rules. I didn't mean to offend you so much as show hypocrisy in brightly glaring light.

So as you can see, in an era where identity politics reigns supreme, and Internet participants by and large opt for lazy trolling and smearing instead of real philosophical conversation, the best -- and probably only -- response is to proclaim your support for your candidate of choice, firmly but not rudely reject the bullshit from people trying to drag you down, and reserve engagement for people like jmo, who may disagree with you on some aspect of your beliefs or positions, but attempt to engage you on level, fair ground. Kill em with kindness brother.

"Just a friendly reminder that making cheating accusations in the forum (or in game press) is against the site rules.

Sure. Where do we report somebody we suspect of forum-only multiaccounting? My initial question was sincere. I'm probably remembering wrong, but I remember the mod email being predominantly for games-related cases, and didn't want to bother you with a pretty trivial report in the forum if so.

"Just a friendly reminder that making cheating accusations in the forum (or in game press) is against the site rules."

It's not really an accusation though if someone comes in with their first post saying people are ignoring the links they posted earlier. At that point isn't it a restatement of someone's admission of guilt? Anyways, I'm pretty sure you have other things to keep you busy right now so I'll leave you too it. :D

@PE everything is through modmail now. Running tournaments, Multi/Meta concerns, forum problems, technical problems, compliments, everything.

WAIT ASSHOLERY SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE ASS-HILLARY. Triggered. YANIK!
I call for FBI_CRIMINAL_TACO truck.

I feel bad for pw, isn't dealing with ex mods the worst? ;)

heard that. you may expect mail shortly =)

@President Eden: I suppose my mistake is attempting to engage with people that act in a toxic way. It's a shame that you can't actually have a conversation with some people without it devolving. Although, anonymity and the internet (I think you are 100% right about that) is probably a cause for that. I doubt any of the people that have acted in a toxic manner tonight would present their views in the same way in a professional learning environment that I was teaching/involved with.

Sad!

I'm assuming it'll be a compliment.

@brainbomb, Sir, are you aware that your caps lock key seems to be on right now? Grammatically it's continued use is not needed at this time. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

@jmo sometimes dealing with current mods can be pretty bad too!

@Brainbomb

MINIATURE M&MS ARE LIKE TRUPS SMALL FINGERS AND THE WAY I'M EATING THOSE RIGHT NOW IS JUST LIKE HOW I HATE THIS ELECTION

wait.

oh. yeah.
