There are plenty like him and some are as loud, but it's more variance than actual defect.

Lol

Attention, sustenance of the low self-esteem troll.

Also, JigglyMask, you gotta understand you have to be at least 90% faking it to not be one of the dumbest ****s in the history of this forum. 50%, 75%, etc, won't cut it.

Well, the rubber is really meeting the road right now, with him actually protesting that his posts aren't objectively stupid as **** and, lol of lols, calling other posters dumb and stupid.

I mean, this forum apparently doesn't have a problem with trolling of this variety, moderation-wise, and I personally sometimes find it entertaining to wonder whether they're faking, and if so, how much, but Jiffy is kinda breaking the 4th wall here.

I don't know if you guys can remember way way back, around about September or October of The Year Of Our Lord Two Thousand and Sixteen, but the consensus was that all these people are quite obviously pulling our collective leg and after trump received a 2-3 figure popular vote total everybody would turn on the lights and jump up from behind the sofa and yell, Surpise(!!!), and we would all have a good laugh at such a clever and convincing ruse but then not only did trump receive 10s of MMs of votes, he actually won, and we woke up and shot a thousand-yard-stare at the bone-colored dawn of November The Ninth and though, well, holy ****ing god, it's not an act, these people are real.

See, trump doesn't horrify me. The JiggyMacs of the world do.

Meh he is just playing around. If it makes him happy saying dumb things and having me be dumb in replying to them everyone wins since i dont mind. Well accept people who dont want the dumb noise.
08-05-2017 , 02:03 PM
We can skip the dumb noise if it pleases you to engage this half wit. Just dont let his numerous inanities wind you up.

Really the mods should just warn him and if he continues then ban him on grounds of arguing in bad faith (pretending to be more stupid than he really is).
08-05-2017 , 02:05 PM
They dont wind me up. No worries.

Please proceed, governor.

Here's your big chance.

Note JaggyOff actually just deployed an I Know You Are But What Am I, i.e. The Rubber-Glue Conjecture, so I suppose that 90% just got pushed closer to 100.

I noticed you have a problem with using '******' as a pejorative. I also assume you don't have a problem with 'idiot' 'imbecile' or 'moron.'
He never had a problem with ******, and as far as i can tell, he still doesn't have a problem with it. We had to spend almost three months convincing him that ****** was an offensive word that violated his PC rules. He begrudgingly banned the use.

Hey there, Ray.

This is funny if true:

Quote:
Ironically, the term ******ed was used to replace the terms idiot, moron, and imbecile due to the fact that these terms gradually became thought of as derogatory. This obviously only worked for a while and now “******ed” is itself considered a derogatory term. It seems any word that basically means “low intelligence” is fated to be thought of as derogatory eventually. So it’s only a matter of time before politically correct terms like “mentally handicapped” will come to be derogatory themselves.
As I've argued before, if we are to have PC rules here, they should at least be consistent and based on rational principles. So at least it makes some sense not to allow terms like gay, tranny, or racial terms to be used as insults based on the principle it shouldn't be considered bad or undesirable to be gay, trans or of any particular race. That's still up for debate in some circles, but it is at least holding to a consistent rationale to name those terms off limits.

But terms like lardass, ugly, idiot, ******, etc., describe conditions that are and should be insulting, based on the principle those conditions are not desirable. They should either all be off limits if you disagree with that principle, or else they all should be fine to use as insults.

It effectively comes down to who can talk the mods into what is offensive. Which is why the entire process is stupid.

It is utterly amazing how dumb these problems are, due to allowing the offended dictate things. It never ends.
08-07-2017 , 03:50 AM
The stupidity is the only truly offensive thing, everything else stems from that. Brazen, belligerent, aggressive stupidity.

I offer 10 Free Internets to whomever can give me an example of something 'offensive' that doesn't have its roots in stupidity.

I had never heard of that until you mentioned it. Just like you appear to not have heard of the grateful dead.

Remaining willfully ignorant, unteachable, and argumentative because ****** is a specifically and particularly hateful word is unreasonable.

Words and their meanings and even offensiveness or not have always changed. Welcome to earth.
