Comparing your situation to that of a rape victim is a bit of a stretch, and frankly... disgusting. That comment alone shows your desire to set people off. I totally agree that everyone is responsible for their own actions. I personally chose to have a good time here and be goofy but reasonable and honest. There have been moderation decisions in the past I didn't agree with, and in such a situation you always have choices. Get over it and move on, leave forever in an epic ragequit, or hold the grudge and make snide comments about the situation every once in a while. I personally enjoy the last one, myself.
But you are not being honest about yourself. You aren't a victim of some bad conduct or Neopets-Cheating-Forum-Rape. You are aggravating people purposely. At least own up to the fact that you are pretending to be interested in intelligent debate, but the outraged and obnoxious responses are what you're really after. I suggest you read a history on the debates by 'iargue' so you can see what you are looking like.
And hey, what the fuck. I was homeschooled. What is wrong with being homeschooled? I think I turned out alright.
That comment doesn't show my desire to set people off. That comment shows a massive whole in your logic when you want to blame me for "
provoking" the actions of others. It's the same principle.
Again, you are projecting an intent on my actions that you cannot prove. Who says I do it on purpose? Under what logic, under what criterion? How do you determine that I am purposefully "pissing people off" when all I have made are serious (if controversial) debate threads? How can you argue that when people's responses to me have
nothing to do with my threads?
At least admit that most people here have a problem with my persona, not my discussions. It takes a very infantile community of people to bombard a serious discussion with personal attacks because they simply
dislike the person making them. Why are you trying to pin that kind of behaviour on me? Do you see world leaders at a summit disregarding Chavez and posting Brony pictures because
he's an asshole? No, they are mature people that understand rules of engagement. Don't blame me because we can't say the same about the population here.
Furthermore, it does not matter if their reaction is my intent or if it isn't. That kind of behaviour is still reproachable. We may provoke an overly aggressive jerk to hit us, but he's still an overly aggressive jerk. My intent here doesn't change the fact that you're people willing to fill serious discussions with spam out of personal issues. That isn't my problem. It's yours.
