Forum Post: I suggest the mods remove the “stinkle” and it’s affects on all comments/karma scores from the start.

I feel that the stinkle does not represent OWS well nor does it endorse the concepts of OWS. If you like something give it a twinkle if you don’t move along, there’s plenty to read.

Anyway that’s what I think what do you people think?

As long as we're working here might as well sweep the floor.

I noticed there had been some talk, thought I would chime in.

To tie the concept to OWS, I feel that OWS in some ways stands for the concept that small things can make large change, I know that dumping on ideals is a time honored tradition, esp. here on the web, but why not try something different? we might get different results.

no doubt ego is the enemy, I have seen sites where comment count is unaffected by voting, I think that is good, it's the down vote I think causes the problem, I think letting people say "good job" with a twinkle is fine and would retain the "game theory" hook but removal of the stinkle would remove the ability for posters to "censor" others with their votes anyway I see a path where it would work. I often see things others don't it happen a lot at the nuclear plant where I once worked, but they kept most of that money.

As a side note if one can accept that is game theory at work one can separate the ego and still have fun.

[-] 4 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

A lot more people like to complain, rather than seek solution it could be reflective of OWS larger problems.

Sorry this is not a direct reply -
I am disgusted by posts that attack posters rather than the subject matter
trite but true
disagree without being disagreeable

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I accept your position it has merit, however I tend to avoid judging tactics so broadly, I have had long discussion with people only to find that they were being disingenuous throughout the chat, this will lead me believe they have a hidden agenda, as opposed to an open agenda like my own which is to destroy the GOP and by doing that completely change our current system. In such cases a general dislike can develop. I don’t know if the “thumbs up” with no “thumbs down” ability has ever been tried, but as I think about it I think the idea has merit.

[-] 3 points by mideast (506) 11 years ago

I'm willing to try and muddle through....

[-] 1 points by redandbluestripedpill (333) 10 years ago

The points system is a built in tool for the cognitive infiltration. When a group of infiltrators uses it the effect is confounding on the unsuspecting viewer.

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 10 years ago

I don't think it's nearly that complicated, it's pretty simple game theory, this post was put up in response to a few other that were complaining about their "scores" sort of a put up or shut up thing, haven't seen those posts in a while....

[-] 0 points by redandbluestripedpill (333) 10 years ago

Insidious, not complicated.

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I wonder if OWS is interested in change?

By one poster's account out of 140 forums, she could not produce one that did this, change is hard, being different is dangerous.

[-] 1 points by Builder (4202) 11 years ago

If you were honest with yourself, you would welcome change here.

The question is, just what are you afraid of?

Honesty?

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Where did you see the fear?

I am suggesting change, so big that no forum as far as I can find has tried it.

[-] 1 points by Builder (4202) 11 years ago

Your fear is apparent in your defense of the multi-ID individuals who frequent this place and seek to find a niche in your clique.

Your fear is also apparent in your obtuse attacks on those who question your narrow-minded support of those pols who attach themselve to occupy in the rabid hope that people might take notice of them.

You are suggesting change, but have you considered anyone else in that change?

You attack those who have similar concepts to your own. Does that make you right?

Or just an attacker?

[-] -2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Defense? You must be referring to my being pissed off at engineer1 for his random attack on another poster? so I think I did that like one time and so you access my time here based on that,

Who the Fuck is scared NOW?

Do your "stinkle" crew "fear" change so much that you must defend random attacks?

Am I not considering your right to be a little shit on the site when I suggest change?

I defend I don't attack you got your adverbs mixed up.

[-] 1 points by Builder (4202) 11 years ago

You do attack. Your defense of your actions is admirable.

Your definition of your own actions is what is questionable.

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

well you know what they say about a good defense or good offense or something, still I don't think you will find much fear in my posts or comments, but each of us has a mind and our own thoughts about things,

The more I think about having a forum where the occasional reader might say "thumbs up" and not have their vote removed by some crusader on a mission of suppression just might result in more thoughtful comments or at least some of those that are here might be "highlighted".

[-] 1 points by Builder (4202) 11 years ago

Good call.

What would you name this forum you have in mind?

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I see we agree on the chance that OWS would want actual change...

[-] 1 points by Builder (4202) 11 years ago

This place is a fucking circus.

I'm in the process of hammering your princess VQ right now.

This post cut through the fog you can see those that want to throw bombs and those that want a better site, quit reveling, that's really why I put this up, I wouldn't expect there will be any actual changes, change is hard.

[-] -2 points by jrhirsch (4714) from Sun City, CA 11 years ago

Good idea. Let's remove the twinkle too. It will help remove the incentive to post the thousands of irrelevant discussions that are done to drive up one's point score.

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I think the twinkle actually encourages more thoughtful comments, there is a lot of fun in tearing down for some people, take that fun away and they will go away.

[-] 3 points by gsw (3410) from Woodbridge Township, NJ 11 years ago

agree

without twinkles/stinkles things might really go downhill

meritocracy. it's what we know

keep twinkle, stinkle, but we should have a "extraneous" site where threads like this one, off topic end up

up there by comments, if a few people with enough twinkles between them say a post is redundant, off topic it should go in a "non-relevant or offtopic posts" category, on a tab next to comments

[-] 3 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Actually you disagree with me if you want to keep the stinkle, and sort of miss the point,there are sites with categories of forums, that might require more moderation, do you have any thoughts about getting rid of stinkle and keeping twinkle? as long as you've decided to chime in on this extraneous thread and all.

[-] -1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 11 years ago

This ain't face book. There is no rational reason to have only a like button.

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I don't know if you've read what I've said here or are just making the customary snap judgement. However I dio disagree i think there is a mentality involved in tearing down, I think there are posters on the site that work as "censors" downvoting comments they fear, facebook has many differences form the OWS site (I don't fear being absorbed by either the Democratic Party or Facebook), the active comment/reasponse being one.

So you can go throw your random slams where they won't get throw back into your face.

[-] -2 points by GirlFriday (17435) 11 years ago

Pfffttt.........pay attention to what I said.

[-] 3 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I suppose improving the site wouldn't be rational to you, odd? or perhaps you would like to address what I said?

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 11 years ago

You waste too much time giving the stinkle/twinkle button power over you and if you could just get rid of it then it would make everything better.

I hate sites that have a like button. You should probably think about what that like only button message sends to the public. Further, it doesn't get rid of the bots and socks.

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Do you know of forum with comment/reply with only a "like" button refer me I will check it out, maybe I will agree who knows?

[-] 1 points by OTP (-203) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

I think there was a new one that came out a while back....called BookFace or something :)

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Doesn't really sound like a forum to me.

[-] 2 points by OTP (-203) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

Thats all it is, is posts with people's comments underneath em. The only thing thats different with occupy fb pages is that they dont allow just anyone to post, it has to go through an admin.

https://www.facebook.com/occupyphoenix

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

How do I reply to a comment on fb?

[-] 1 points by OTP (-203) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

You usually just make the username as a link, it will notify the user, but there is now a new feature that is available..

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I waste too much time? again you ignore most of my posts to make judgments like this, I suppose that makes it easier, but moving on, no it doesn't solve all problems but I do think there is a mindset behind the stinkle we could do without.

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I really do want to check out one of these forums that have comment/reply but only a "like" button I can't find one could you please send the link to one of those you tried out?

Failing that could you tell; me how exactly do "like" a comment on FB?

I think you are talking about something completely different when comparing what I am suggesting to FB.

[-] -2 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

It should be all about the topic and not the individual. If there is to be a score, then post just a total, same as done for number of comments. There is no need for individual scores. Inflated positive or negative scores are not necessarily indicative of the person, but usually only the childish actions of the few. And the numbers distort or create false assumptions about a person when it should be about the topic, comment or response.

[-] 3 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I agree, No more stinkles. I have lost thousands of points in the matter of days. Been harassed by a small group of anti OWS fanatics for a year. and had innocuous comments downvoted for no good reason.

I've never complained because I KNOW the points DO NOT matter!

But if getting rid of stinkles means shutting up the shallow, childish, paranoid, conspiracy minded wack jobs complaining about being stinkled (just as they stinkle others). Then we could improve the forum exponentially.

[-] 1 points by littlethingcalledOWSlove (-8) 11 years ago

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I have been targeted by you and your immature, dishonest, whiny cabal because of my politics for more than a year.

I have lost thousands of points (never complain, cause I don't care) and been targeted with threads of unfounded personal attacks by you and the schoolyard cabal.

I spend my time posting important info, and valuable actions.

What actions of mine are part of the problem.? And if you don't have proof then STFU.

Whiny little child. You ain't lost more points than me. And guess what,? we are ALLOWED to downvote!!!

[-] 0 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Many come here to attack and tear down, I do to an extent I attack Republicans and GOP policies I feel I have been pretty open about my views there, in general though I don't think the stinkle represents OWS well and it's removal might have more affect than people think, if we leave the twinkle in plce, it could really change the forum.

[-] 0 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I agree. I've already expressed my support for removal of the stinkle. But until then, because it bothers the immature, dishonest, whiny cabal I will continue using it...... Liberally. LOL.

I am a proud progressive. I know that we must vote out the conservatives (even conservative dems) who have given our country to the corp 1% oligarchs.

My focus here is posting important info, & actions, as well as challenging any who express opinions against the progressive solutions Occupy pushes.

I AM with you. I have always been.

hehehe... i mostly agreed with your post iMan ... just wanted to use my ↧stinkle ... ;)

[-] -1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I use stinkle to downvote anti occupy comments/people. I believe that is what it is for.

I don't know you, & don't care that you downvote me. But clearly " just wanted to use my ↧stinkle " is immature and inapropriate.

[-] 4 points by BradB (2693) from Washington, DC 11 years ago

actually.... I havn't used it much... but I have... and I use it when I think someone is being outright nasty ... or is promoting hate type agenda's ...what is anti-Occupy... I don't know... I thought Occupy is Anarchy... "all ideas are welcome".... just because someone doesn't understand what they are talking about... does not make them anti-Occupy. imo....

and I have used one for fun... I'll take it back... sorry... ;)

[-] 0 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

No need to apologize to me. downvote how you like.

If you support big banks, you might be an oligarch.

If you support oil/gas/nukes, You might be an oligarch.

If you are anti gay, anti women, anti immigrant, You might be an oligarch.

If you don't support higher wages You might be an oligarch.

If you don't support universal single payer health care You might be an oligarch.

If you don't support money out of politics You might bbe an oligarch.

Sure OWS accepts all political persuasions but we have taken a stand on many issues. We will attempt to convince those who disagree with facts and dialogue. but we do have an agenda and we can't be on 2 sides of the same issue.

Are you an oligarch?

[-] 3 points by BradB (2693) from Washington, DC 11 years ago

But clearly " just wanted to use my ↧stinkle " is immature and inapropriate. ...

[-] -1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I never use stinkles just cause I want to. Never.

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I think if people were required to "attack" with their words instead of the easy vote it would bring more honesty to the site. I am not attacking anyone who operates within the system that exists that would be like attacking a politician for taking money, but rather a change in the system like public funding would be a change, some who work within the money taking system still support public funding.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Money out of politics. repealing CU, movetoamend are all important goals/efforts some pols (progressives) support us in this.

In so far as stinkles, it just ain't so important to me. I prefer & enjoy discussing differences. I know the progressive approach is superior and it is great practice arguing with some of these anti occupy closet cons/libertarian shills.

So if the stinkles go. My enjoyment remains.

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

I won't drop the link on you but I know that you know that at least 90% of my post deal with wealth inequality, money in politics or climate change of course that often involves pointing out how the GOP is on the wrong side of each of those issues IMHO.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I never disagree with your posts. I have focused on updating many important issues/posts with current info and/or occupy actions, & non occupy actions

This is I believe an important function of this forum. Some do not like my efforts/opinions & I am constantly under attack. I never complain and continue my efforts (that is what bothers them most)

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

So the stinkle crew is working you hard I see, anyway the site can do those things, it would be possible to do more if the mods and people in NYC were more involved with the site. It would be possible to build a "people's think tank" that would crush the right wing noise machine. Here the work of debate and talking points can be done, but OWS is far behind on having that sort of impact. It would have to realize who the enemy is for one and get in the game, something it has been reluctant to do for fear of losing support of some. Anyway i could go on, I see great possibilities in the site, but I an not hopeful at this point.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I agree. The forum has great potential but will not achieve it until more involvement by interested mods.

[-] -1 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

Have you noticed I am not the only one that complains about your actions here? Try looking in the mirror for once. You have had multiple personas, you dribble your rhetoric everywhere and rarely have substance, just headline shout outs, cut and paste.

[-] 2 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Important current information! Deep thoughtful articles, Timely Occupy actions/events. Many non occupy (but always progressive) events.

That's what I do here. Here's another one that is one ofthe problems you have with me.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/15032-women-rising-22-international-anti-nuclear-activists

This is older but pertinent and useful to show you that occupy is anti nuke!!!

http://ecowatch.com/2012/occupy-nukes/

You spend days with your immature, dishonest, whiny cabal spewing unfounded personal attacks against me because you have been downvoted.

Maybe you and your friends were downvoted because you are anti Occupy? I know that's why I downvote people/comments. Thats what the stinkle is for.

Ever think of that.?

[-] -1 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ Ever think of actually saying who inclusionman and all the rest of your personas really are? Quit pretending.

[-] 2 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Doesn't seem like an important Occupy related issue. Seems more like the type of thing your immature, dishonest, whiny cabal wastes their time with.

I never ask such stupid meaningless question of the posters I engage with. because it is unimportant, it doesn't matter, many of them have new id's (like me) for whatever reason.

So what? Some might say, others may not. So what?

How does any of that matter?

i'd rather discuss how we support and get a higher minimum wage.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/elizabeth-warren-minimum-wage_n_2900984.html

I support Elizabeth Warrens suggestion that min wage Should be $22.

Please, you must be high!!!

Provide some proof. Stop whining! Everyone else (including me) have lost thousands of points. This is the only id I use to comment with.

Focus on the issues occupy supports that might benefit the 99%.

Anti nuke? Min wage increase? Abolish Student debt? These things matter to serious people. You and your caal of dishonest malcontents are only interested in division and picking fights.

Grow up. put your hate aside.

[-] 1 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ. We're waiting........and quit dodging the issue. This is not about your opinions. What proof would you like. Easy, its the entire OWS forum. Your finger prints are everywhere. Stop the dishonesty and come clean.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

You are no authority here. And I have nothing to come clean about.

I am anti nuke, that IS pro 99%, I support abolishing student debt just as occupy does, I support the progressive agenda occupy fights for to benefit the 99%.

My contributions here prove my support for the 99%.

you haven't supported any occupy positions that I've seen. I only see you attacking people.

This is a waste, and useless, and tiresome.

You've offered no proof. only empty, nonsensical, accusations.

[-] 0 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ. I gave you a choice to ask anyone of your choosing to substantiate your position. Yet you are still dodging. Why is that? Why do you have such a problem with honesty? One can be pro-anything, but without the honesty, it is meaningless. Time to come clean. You know I am right. The proof is scattered everywhere on this forum with your writings and you know this to be true. There is no attack, only a simple request to be honest with everyone here on the forum.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

The only thing we KNOW is that you and your immature cabal have spewed unfounded accusations in an inappropriate thread.

You are not my judge. How fuckin arrogant and self important you are. I have nothing to come clean about to you.

I will continue doing as I have, contriuting important current info, and encouraging action related to the issues occupy has taken a stand on.

You are a joke. Your mistakes are clear in the inappropriate thread of unfounded personal destruction.

[-] 1 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ. I had nothing to do with the original post. All I did was respond to a comment you made.

Now, no more deflection, time to come clean to this forum. If you are truly for the 99% and OWS as you claim, how about some truth rather than denial. You can not have it both ways. You want integrity or another Cone Of Shame? Then answer the question.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

So I should ask the immature dishonest cabal who spewed unfounded accusations in the thread of personal destruction.?

Aaaaaaaaaah ha ha ha. Everyone of them have had some disagreement of opinion with me. That's why you and they got your panties in a bunch. I ain't done nothin to you.

No I'm not gonna waste time asking about your accusations. I know they are unfounded, and I am only interested in contributing current info, and encouraging action on the issues that occupy has taken a stand on.

I'll let you children waste time with dishonest personal attacks regarding voting, and accts.

Which reminds me. How come no opinions on my 'modern-day slavery' post? You don't think the serious and widespread problem of modern slavery is an issue we should confront? Hmmm?

[-] -3 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

You and your friends immature attacks on my are no doubt all about my opinions. None of you have ever offered any proof, cause you have none.

I have NO respect for you after your childish unfounded personal attack post. So I avoid your posts, but of course I'm against slavery that's easy.

My contributions are mainly on issues that occupy has taken a stand on.

My posts are always up, I know you never comment which is convenient because I prefer that you stay off my posts, Whatever ID I've used on them.

[-] 3 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ you said: " ...., whatever ID I've used on them." Are you coming clean with that comment? Come on now, be honest and tell the forum about your multiple personas.

[-] 3 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

Honesty is in short supply.

I'm curious why VQkag2 got banned.

[-] 1 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

Part of the problem why anyone is banned. It is never made known by the ones doing the actual banning.

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

True.

It definitely was a ban though because I can't see him giving up 16,000+ points willingly.

[-] 0 points by justiceforzim (-17) 11 years ago

Yeah, I saw him say sonething like "I only have 1 id I post with" the other day, but I didn't feel like calling him out. In the last hour he went silent for a bit as his posts got upvoted and others down....I now see a new twink total as he has resumed posting as delusionman, showing he logged in and out.

No need to explain. I understand. In time you can be quick witted and funny too.

How exactly would you know that? Quick witted and funny certainly aren't your forté.

"Forté." You might have to look that one up. Hint: it's a French word. And just so you don't get lost on the big scary Internet, here ya go:

How many times have you criticized others for only having insults to offer? You have already called me a fuckin moron today. Is that the best you can do?

[-] -3 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

No I can do much better. I just thought that was most applicable.

[-] 2 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

That just proves what a liar you really are. You repeatedly claim you don't stoop to "childish insults" but so far today I've seen you call people a "dickhead," an "immature simpleton," a "whiny little child," a "fucking moron," and a "lying piece of ignorant shit."

And I've only been on the forum less than four hours!

No, it makes you a fucking liar and hypocrite, just like I said. In every instance I quoted, they didn't call you shit first. You started with the insults. And now add "fuckin (sp.!) low life" to the list. Fucking clown.

I don't have to 'come clean', and I didn't say anything new.

I'm not hiding anything, just refusing to discuss with you any specifics because you ain't my friend. You are clearly hostile towards me for no good reason.

And this thread is not about that so I guess I can assume that you have smoked again, and now you are now trying to change the subject and resort to unfounded, dishonest personal attacks.

You are all about bashing dems, and personal attacks.

Kinda tired and predictable.

[-] -1 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ. I have no hostility against you personally. But any respect for you is pretty low right now. And yes, it is time to admit to your multiple personas and be honest. You can no longer keep denying your actions on this forum. You know I am right. Time to be truthful. Stop running and dodging. The proof is irrefutable and deep down, you know this to be true. Your answer should be addressed to the forum, not to me. Put it in a new post and seek forgiveness.

[-] 3 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

You first.

[-] 0 points by engineer4 (331) 11 years ago

VQ. Always dodging, avoiding to come clean. Now your asking me for what? I have nothing to ask forgiveness for, i write respectfully and with tolerance, do not curse, and certainly do not have multiple personas. I have only one ID since i started here, never been banned. It has been your actions that have created this situation, and you even have had a "cone of shame" placed upon you. Time for you to step up. Time for truth. Put it in a post and ask for forgiveness for your actions here on the forum. It's your move. Why are you so afraid of the truth?

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

I have no respect for you either, V, because you're a pathological liar and a hypocrite. Not to mention a self-centered attention-whore.You're problem with me is because I was the first to call you out on your bullshit. So you're problem with me is a grudge. My problem with you is your shitty personality. And I don't have to offer proof of your actions. All I had to do was notice your actions in old posts. And all anyone here has to do is go thru old posts and see for themselves. At least in the ones you haven't yet went back thru to cover your tracks. You're not stupid V, but neither am I and we both know that I'm right in my accusations regardless of your public denials. It just pisses you off that I know about it and have alerted other posters to it. I even tried to make amends with you once in the past and you refused the 'olive branch.'

And that personal attack post I made, I deleted it within an hour of posting it, so get the fuck over it. The fact that you haven't is PROOF that you have a grudge against me and confirms my suspicions of what you do behind the scenes.

[-] 0 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I don not give one flying fuck about your false accusations. I don't care about the points or the ids.

You are the shallow, meaningless, fool who focuses on all that crap.

So fuck you, you don't like my personality?. Who the fuck cares?. I don't come to make friends dickhead.

I come to contribute current info, and encourage action regarding the issues the Occupy has taken a stand on. You come to attack me.

LOL. I will continue and be satisfied. You will continue and fail. Because I don't give a fuck about your immature lies.

LMFAO.

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

You're the one that started this conversation, moron. And I don't give a flying fuck about your opinion either. You're as shallow, if not more, than I or you wouldn't still be bitching about a post I made, then pulled, months ago. Only a shallow obsessive fool like you would waste hours of your time going thru old posts to upvote your own comments. Something the admins caught you doing without me having to say a word. You're a fucking phony.

And I haven't said shit about you for many weeks until the last few days. So your comment that I constantly attack you is just another VQ lie. The only reason we're even having this conversation right now is because you started it, asshole. Otherwise I wouldn't even be bothering.

LMFAO, fool.

[-] 0 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

We're having this conversation because of the ridiculous, immature, unfounded personal attack on me by you and your friends in that inappropriate post.

So STFU and stop harassing me. I get to vote how I like I can disregard this shallow meaningless subject and focus my attention on things like the racism of the republican party, or the anti gay, anti women, or anti immigrant, or anti labor/working class republican agenda.

Thats what I find interesting and important.

And you and I don't agree on those issues.

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

Wrong as usual, moron. Was that post immature? Maybe but I didn't post it, I just replied on it. Unfounded? Nope. Totally founded.

And you're the one harassing me, dumb fuck. Go up this thread and see who replied to who. So STFU and quit replying if you don't like it.

Racism in BOTH parties. I'm totally against it. Gay rights. I'm totally for it. Anti-women, anti-labor class, I'm totally against it.

So your accusation that I don't support those things is just another VQ lie (again) in a ridiculous attempt to paint me as anti-OWS simply because you and I have a problem with each other.

See, V, we actually agree on as lot of issues. You just like to spread the lie that we don't in a futile attempt to make me look bad. So shut your fucking mouth and move on.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Please stop harassing me.

Fuck you. You given me grief for something from months ago under my previous ID?

The mods dealt with it. It was over in a matter of hours. Why the fuck do you take it upon yourself to add additional fucking punishment.?

Leave me the fuck alone with you lies and harassment.

[-] 0 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

You just have to have the last word, I guess.

What username you're presently using doesn't change the person. Once VQ, always VQ. What you did then, you do now, just to a lesser degree.

And like I just said, man. I have been leaving you alone. It's you that's been harassing me. Don't you get it? In fact I even thanked you for pointing out that water deal here in St. Louis a few weeks back, remember?

[-] 0 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Your the one constantly spreading lies about me!!! I've only told you to stop.

So stop. Try to behave like an adult.

Put your hate aside. and stop commenting on scores, & Id's. I don't care.

[-] 0 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

I don't spread lies. I hate liars, which is one of my main problems with you. You calling it lies doesn't make it so. It just bugs the shit out of you that you've been exposed. And I guess the admins are liars too, since they're the ones that caught you doing it, huh? Just face it, V, you've been exposed for what you are, it's not my fault. Deal with it.

And I'm not a hateful person. If you'd just leave me the fuck alone I wouldn't have a problem, I already told you that. I haven't said a negative thing about you for a couple months until the last few days. But you constantly hit my comments, almost on a daily basis until recently. Even though I was leaving you alone.

See, V. It's you, not me, that keeps this shit going. So really, it's you that needs to grow up. But I don't see that happening anytime soon.

ITs nothing compared to getting up in front of GA and declaring that the Dems are the only hope. Saw that a few times.

Was talking with a guy involved with the Dem party a little while ago. We were looking back and laughing at the response he got, pretty much "get out!!" What was even funnier is that after he came down, the Dems in our county thought he was an occupier and were "leary" of him!! Too funny.
