Sure a lot of people may disagree with my view points but surely you can throw valid arguments at me without resorting to names calling and trolling?

All you do is troll. If there were mods, your posts would have been binned a long time ago.

 

You don't listen to reason and you have ignored all polite requests to stop faff-splurting sexist, racist-fetishist, racist, homophobic and simply stupid tripe all over this website, so basically you've earned it.

 

Wise the fuck up, shut the fuck up, or put the fuck up.

Thank Laozi, no. I am merely telling you that @sean, before he absconded to some place cloud hidden, whereabouts unknown, made it very clear that racist, sexist, homophobic bullshit is not welcome here. Sure, neither are insults, but since Sean is not presently disposed to wielding the ban hammer or any other mod tools, sorry, you're just going to have to either shut the fuck up, or get used to being told to shut the fuck up, or stop being a racist, sexist, homophobic troll. If you choose the third path, please also try to reduce your stupidity, overconfidence, and inability to take advice from people smarter, wiser and more experienced than yourself. 

 

The choice is yours, kiddo! 

[Heartbreak]

Ok point out where I am being ..

 

racist?

 

sexist?

 

homophobic?

 

Do your worst Walker.

 

Let’s see how good you are?

Others already have, in explicit detail. 

 

If you are being sincere, all you need do is reread the many responses that already exist in your threads. 

 

If you are not being sincere, then my writing an epistle will serve no purpose. 

 

In either scenario, there is no need for me to write anything new.

 

You need merely reread your own threads with humility and honesty. 

 

The choice is yours, kiddo.

I like the fact that you talked about humility and honesty.

You're defending your mediocrity.

 

Whatever, I predict that within the next week: it will rain somewhere on earth, coronavirus will not disappear, and your drivel-laden threads will continue to get yelled at. Whatever. I'm stepping out of this thread. If you need more attention, you'll need to start a new one like "OMGZ I ALWYS DO FACIAL PHYSIOGNOMY AND ALSO PHRENOLOGY ON A CAMGIRL BEFORE I MASTURZBATE INTO MY OWN MOUTH TO MAKE SURE SHE'S AN ENGLIGHENED ASIAN PS ALIENZ LIVE IN MY BUTT AND THE CIA IS STEALING MY CRISPY DRY SEMEN SOCKS," I'm sure everybody can't wait for more of your brilliance and the highest, more rarefied reaches of the pure lands are preparing a castle in anticipation of your impending arrival...

It's street rules here (ATM).

 

If you cant handle it, just follow my previous advice to Earl Grey and fuck off.

 

Alternatively, you could always kiss and make-up by nominating him for the new TaoBums Awesome Member^TM Award:

I agree with heartbreak that too many personal insults are being thrown.  If you disagree with him, and most here do, its best not to make it personal.  That leads to low brow kindergarten games and flame wars that bring down the site's vibe.  Point out what you don't like, logical inconsistencies, leave it at that, if you can.

 

Heartbreak, you are calling for attention.  Creating too many threads that are very similar and getting the same results.  If you want to make a point and express your view without the landslide of insults and criticism you should consider getting a PPD.  In it you can control and edit out comments that are insulting.  I feel that you are open minded enough to keep in those that are critical of your logic.

 

In a PPD you'd have the best of all worlds, self expression and ability to keep conversations polite.  Which I see you strive for here, but your views are so.. well I'm an American, I have sisters, I have female friends.. they're not in any way demons from the porn industry.  Thus I'm at odds with you for suggesting such but this site isn't for people who totally agree with me.

 

You can state your truth, and get toasted for it, by those it offends.  But I ask those offended, don't be vulgar or personal, you don't need that to attack the ideas expressed.  For Heartbreak, consider creating fewer new threads, especially ones so close to others, because they're taken as Spam and end up filled with same old shit.   Getting your own PPD, means your philosophy and ideas are concentrated in one spot, where you have some control (hiding posts) over the nastiest criticism.

I find many of the more vehement and malicious responses to the trolls almost as nauseating as the troll's behavior prompting the responses... not to mention quite surprising, given the sources.  ce la vie'

 

 

Agreed.  I don´t think it´s possible to stop Heartbreak at the moment because nobody has moderation power to do so.  But we can stop responding to him and people of his ilk.  Let´s not let the cure be worse than the disease.  (Ducks flying tomatoes.)

[silent thunder]

Truly.   Wei Wu Wei has never been more appropriately applied to the board as a whole... in my not very humble opinion.

 

 

wei wu wei

for the win

The problem with that is that the quality of the forum sinks and the people looking at the forum from the outside (there are many) from Google searches starts to attract more people like him. Insults are pretty mild compared to what has been said before, and given his response to patient and polite posts before...

 

Anyway, I've had quite a few people messaging me about this thread, which I found hilarious given that I made a couple of these before, so interesting to be on the other end. Heartbreak will either get it or he won't, and the rest of us will either ignore him or piss him off with the reactions that he isn't looking for because the end result is that he is getting no validation from anyone on this forum, but he is getting attention, though I suspect that ultimately, he will want validation. The kid probably just wants to be loved, but it's a lot harder to give him what he's looking for when he's basically saying that everyone is demonic unless they are busty Asian women and rejecting another kind of love that is common: tough love.

Heartbreak´s threads aren´t contributing to the quality of the forum -- I don´t think anybody except maybe Heartbreak disagrees with us there.  I think the counterattacks further degrade the conversation, though it is tough not to go there.  We´ll likely continue to disagree on this one Earl, but in the spirit of walking my talk, I´ll say no more about it.

Nah, I agree with you. It's the spirit of where those responses come from. Some are responding with impatience and malice, others are having a laugh and seeing him as a troll. 

 

This is my intention and how I see him: he's a confused kid and I'm the older kid in the classroom telling him that he's going to get his ass kicked if he doesn't cut that shit out. I'd rather he get pissed off at me because if he actually does intend to listen to me, he'll see that I actually am making sure he doesn't piss off the gang members who are already wary of him for talking about their girlfriends as being demonic, and if he actually listens, he may one day get out of his ass. I am, of course, human, so calling him an idiot is the same way I've been yelled at when in survival situations, such as when my team told me to "WATCH YOUR FUCKING STEP YOU IDIOT THE BUILDING STILL HAS LIVE EXPLOSIVES!!!" and later "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING GOING AHEAD OF THE TEAM YOU ARE THE SUPPORT NOT THE SCOUT!!!" when I was working in northern Sri Lanka. None of it was in malice, but impatience and concern, and okay, the comparison here is a stretch, but it's the spirit of people showing concern rather than bullying.
