First, the secret. The secret is there is no secret. I appreciate the show of modesty, but you are smart and imaginative enough to use hyperbolic metaphor like slave lottery winners and diseased black people. BE CAREFUL!!! Being smart and imaginative may lead to speculating about all sorts of stuff in a philosophy forum, so you show signs of qualifying. This observation can help solve your mystery.

God bless those kooky Russian drivers.

I wonder what was smart and creative about Bruce threatening people in the mod forum. You know, the actual thing he was disciplined for and such.

And you targeted a poster's kids once.

We get it, Bruce is not allowed be emotional or act like a dick, but YOU ARE free to whine and be a dick. Your a dick and a hypocrite.

LOL Brian let's play. You called Anais dumb, you sometimes get into your cups and have a go at me.

Elaborate on this. What did I fail to comprehend? Let's have a civil and nice person discourse where I pretend you're an adult instead of illiterate hermit or whatever the **** explains your ignorance about the world at large.

P.S. Brian, you transparently dishonest piece of ****, doesn't the relative state of pre-BruceZ demodding Politics vs. pre-BruceZ demodding SMP neatly disprove the disingenuous "oh you just need to be NICE to racists and pretend they have good points and actually agree with them about everything, that's how you stop racism" argument?

I'm hurting the cause so much, but at least I got swissmiss to stop posting. pvn and Wookie got Bruce to embarrass and discredit himself. What did you do, child, besides coddle their egos?

Foldn's posts always leave me feeling like this:

What the **** does "get into your cups" mean? Something about tea?!?

To be clear, Paul is the dumb one. Anais is just fun to trade insults with given that he can, when he puts the effort in, both give and take it. Paul can do neither - he cries like a little bitch in response to anything even remotely resembling criticism.

You failed to comprehend that sociology actually exists; that understanding the causes of out-group intolerance could be useful; that having more than one post in reply to a single post makes people laugh uncontrollably.

Is this the part where we state random things that we'd like to state without any regard for anything anyone else has stated?

Cranberry sauce is both delicious and aids in urinary tract health!!!

What do I do? I make miniature pinschers bark uncontrollably!!!

Wait, so fly is proud to hurt people and community with instigation, accusation, and trolling. It's not a suprise. Fly is a special type who openly casts dehumanization rather than just let it be implicit in derision and disposition. He will laugh at the notion two people are having a conversation like two human beings.

Is Explicit dehumanization a worse quality and behavior than dehumanizing implicit bias? Perhaps, it is a really bad look to be so open and intentionally hurtful and willing to provoke people irrationally. What a weird flag to fly in the name of social justice.

No need to pile on.

The certitude of so many people is what is most disconcerting to me. It's what allows them to comfortably **** on anyone and everyone with whom they disagree. It reminds me so much of several over-the-top religious folks I know, who just hate hate hate people they don't even have a clue about.

An interesting article: http://thoughtcatalog.com/joshua-gol...rs-experience/

Wait, I'm in a pile? I thought as gentlefolk we all lined up and took turns.

Lewis also said, "you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg."

That might not seem relevant.

No. Apologies for the lack of clarity. You have piles. You ought have a sitz bath. Best to not take turns for the sake of hygiene.

Contrary to popular belief sake is not good for the liver and should be held back for the livest.

I tend to only drink bread in a pint glass. I also keep accord well enough. Those aren't piles, they are monuments to talking like actual human beings. ZOMG!

Something about booze you ******.

LOL Brian look, look at your people. Yeah, sure, you're right, people laugh at me when I forego the edit button to put two thoughts into two posts, or use a slightly archaic idiom(again, for a "small community of intellectuals" like SMP you all appear to have the reading and writing skills of middle schoolers).

But you're over here having a laugh with spank and FoldN. You made friends! Well, you made a friend. spank, the guy who was demodded because he had a nervous breakdown over a racist getting called racist and has posted absolute gibberish ever since. FoldN was already your friend, as far as I can tell solely because of how holds a bunch of ignorant and reprehensible views.

It's a real crystallization of the SMP ethos that, upon encountering an unfamiliar phrase, Brian didn't think of "googling it" to find out what it means. That's for other people. Knowing what you're talking about is exclusionary bullying.

Better to try to make of fun of someone for talking fancy.

But wait, you know what, Brian? I broke my promise. Let's go back to pretending you're an adult worthy of respect(lol):

Uh, this is literally nonresponsive. I posted about how Bruce's(and duffees, and FoldN's) posts were not making unique points, they were regurgitating talk radio. You told me to read for comprehension. I don't know what I didn't comprehend(obviously!), so I asked for your help.

You told me that sociology exists(I knew that), that understanding intolerance is useful(I knew that! I go so far as to actually identify instances of intolerance), and you gave me just some A+ post formatting tips that I immediately ignored.

Do you want to try again?

What did I fail to comprehend? Or is this like Bruce's imaginary apologies, something that all the SMPers took a vow of silence about?

Brian barely makes fun of people. He just pretends to be doing some boring in-game analysis of people's wit and creative writing ability. All done in an aloof tone so as to seem 'above it all'.

Fly just couldn't resist a super-accusation action ultra-combo. Unfortunately, it's not original material at all and his timing is terrible considering false accusation behavior has been thoroughly discredited, today.

Maybe he should stick to calling people hillbilly jethros for them real lame yuck yucks.

Really, y'all have run the gambit of false accusations. Spun through the whole wheel of accusations and then some. On the road of crafting a story far from straight. Trolling in chest-thumping pride of making mounds of bull**** is somewhat humorous, but painful. May as well just start accusing the people you disagree with of eating babies. I agree they are delicious.

It's incredibly sad because he thinks he's like, turning the treatment we do to his team back onto us, and he thinks it hurts us the way it makes, e.g., Bruce break down into temper tantrums.

Fly bring the hater-psyche report and it's what you might expect. Stupid.

You used an idiom that even Cheezelaw wouldn't dare to use around us 'muricans for fear that we'd assume that he likes it between the ears.

He does btw according to hearsay.

I'm not sharing a laugh - I am laughing. Dance, monkey! Dance!!!

Ha! You are claiming that you talk fancy?

That is a serious question, fwiw.
