On the other hand, you don't often take positions. You just rag on people who do.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo one is asking you to condemn any person.

Here we are hundreds of posts on, and you still won't do that. It's quite revealing.
On the contrary my position is rather clear, i will condemn no one unless i have evidence. You have failed to provide a shred of evidence for any of your claims and instead insult our intelligence every single time with the same frothy wash. You are busted jeester, morally and spiritually bereft! they are calling you out in spirituality for being a ...[text shortened]... ing wreck on the forum floor, too bad, if you had been honest it might have been better for you.

This is an interesting comment. You come across as enjoying robbie's brand of humour (whilst invariably trumping it with a much more wry brand of your own), which is undoubtedly your prerogative. But supporting "positions"? You seem almost completely uninterested in any of the "positions" taken by robbie or divegeester. You mention "90%"? On the contrary, you co ...[text shortened]... discussion involving the two of them, which of course may well be the wise course of action. 😉

The 18 Types Of Internet Trolls (Posted: 5 years ago by Tamar Love Grande)
"The first rule of forums, chat rooms and bulletin boards is: DON’T FEED THE TROLLS. If you feed them, they grow. If you starve them, they wither up and die.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou claimed that you had called divegeester a "devil" because the word meant 'slanderer'. I pointed out that you had in fact called him "son of Satan".

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt was you who took care to capitalize the S in "Satan", not me. It was you who then suggested you had only used the word "devil", which was untrue. I have never in all my time on these forums commented on your grammar.

I've been banned once since 2008 for posting an inappropriate link to a gif.
I'll await your timely and accurate response.

Originally posted by FMFThis wasn't one of the threads to which i was referring.

Were you enjoying Grampy Bobby's interesting copy pastes on this thread before it got ruined? 😛

My pet hate is to return to a thread i've been enjoying, and which has involved many contributors, only to find the thread has suddenly grown by several pages due to a repetitive argument between 2 or 3 posters. I then have to scroll through all that tedium to make sure i haven't missed a post by somebody who has actually said something on topic and interesting. (Though usually such posters by then have themselves lost interest in the thread).
Quite often such a personal disagreement between 2 posters seems to come down to a word or phrase that is taken 'literally' (cherry picked) and then repeatedly thrown back at the person who said it as ammunition. I find this practice genuinely rather curious, especially when a given Christian may not take the bible itself 'literally' and yet will take a literal interpretation of what another poster has written in a 4 minute message.
Dive has spoken about the rudeness of ignoring another person in the forums. For me though (and this is not directed specifically at Dive) a far bigger rudeness is to hijack a thead and turn it into a personal argument with another poster. I don't think that is a very grown up way to use the forums. (Personally speaking).
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeThis is exactly my beef with certain posters who take what was an interesting, or even a potentially interesting thread, and turn it into yet another festival of third degree interrogation. Sometimes they even jump on their victim (who often varies depending on who was the last one to complain about them) before the thread even has a chance to become interesting, probably to silence the topic with a barrage of nonsense. And then they spend another 5 pages whining about being called trolls. All while claiming that only they can stay 'spot-on' on topic. Lather, rinse, repeat with every new thread. And yeah, it gets old.
