Fringe conspiracy containment thread - Page 2 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Nice to finally have someone who knows what they're talking about around here, unlike all these other donks. You wouldn't mind sharing your sources for this claim, so we can really stick it to them, would you?

If we're discussing posters like Playbig, they certainly don't cause us any harm, and aren't taken all that seriously so their impact on others is going to be pretty negligible. I don't think it's good for them or their mental health, and likely isn't great for those around them, but they don't have much effect on anyone else. But that doesn't mean their ideas should go unchallenged.

If "this guy" is Trump, I think it should be obvious why people would be outraged that someone with that kind of power would be peddling nonsense. If you mean Playbig, I wasn't aware that anyone was outraged. Amusement seems the more prevalent reaction.

It was obviously Playbig, it's hilarious that Trump would somehow be in your mind here.

You clearly have a political side and that's fine but when moderation is very one sided politically it's a very big issue in today's climate.

Make fun of him all you want but I just question if you would do the same if some nutjob opened a thread saying the world was ending in 3023.

It really is a mystery in the context of the thread.

Do you even read posts or just have the orange man running wild in your head?

I also don't like the orange man and will never vote for him.

You posted literally directly after my post saying "conspiracies and similar brain****ery brought us Trump" saying "this guy". Is it really a stretch to think you meant Trump?

Also, I note the lack of response to my post asking for sources for your wild claims, which was an earlier post than the one to which you responded.

I'm not sure what's hilarious about it - the only reason he was on my mind was because you quoted no one, the post immediately before yours was about Trump, and no one has posted anything remotely close to outrage over Playbig. It really didn't completely make sense that you were referring to either one, so I didn't assume one way or the other.

IDK, I guess it would depend on whether the background/rationale was as unhinged as space lasers, microwaves, and the Pope being arrested.

I wasn't aware this was a competition, but let me know if I win a prize.

My response about Trump was quoting post #22, which was indeed immediately after a post about Trump, and quoted no one.

I think our new 150 IQ friend here is struggling a little with how forum software works.

Are you thinking that will prove something else? I actually edited in to my post before I noticed you were asking for it. Here it is again if you like:

I can already tell this guy is no PlayBig or Luckbox in the conspiracy nutjob entertainment category. D-lister who tries to bore you to death at best.

You addressed no one in the second post, which is the one I responded to unclear about whether you meant Trump or Playbig.

But hey, if it's really important to you to make up some scenario where I just came up with Trump out of nowhere, have at it. Fits well with the thread theme, I suppose.

You appear to really be struggling with how conversation works, smart guy.

I'm 100% certain that is the scenario.

Hard claiming and bussing all my teammates.

Well I will say that this is the first time I've heard billions of years as the time frame for which climate change will be an issue, so that's at least a new take. Absolutely nonsensical, but original.

Interesting. Well, maybe the issue isn't that you're neverlucky, but that your reads are terrible.

Ah, there appears to be some confusion about how a public forum works. I won't give you all the answers, but I'll give you a hint: the clue is in the name.
