I've been to a moderate amount of forums in my lifetime. My experience of this particular forum which I have not experienced much of really disappointed me. Since it is only lightly moderated I should have expected the amount of ire I came across a few months ago.

This is (in some ways) a highly moral and yet hip comic. Due to the morality I thought I might get away with posting a comprehensive reasoning of why I think sexual orgies are bad on a number of levels. In doing so I placed the religious and health reasonings (seperate arguments) close to each other and was swiftly accused of saying that homosexuals are punished by God.

There was even a person who said that I was decidedly dishonest and not worth talking with. Even if a person thinks so it is very rude to say something like that to their face and not try to understand. All I understand is this forum contains highly liberal elements in terms of feedback and replies like over at Slightly Damned (a minor webcomic).
Personally I feel you have much to learn from the people over at Errant Story, also lightly moderated. They can get angry and flame you, but they're reasonably objective and highly intelligent.

I don't know if this is a troll but it was nice to get it off my mind. Smile

Some of you are just plain abrasive though many here are nice enough to at least consider someone's feelings. Also there were many radical and thought-through ideas imho.

Who are you?

And why are you saying that we're not objective and intelligent? Are you judging the entire forum on what a few people said? Several months ago?
You have only posted 17 times! How can we have flamed you if you only posted 17 times?

I've just checked what you said. In the middle of a comic thread, you pop in and go on a preach about the dangers of orgies and abortion. You use the whole "GHEYS HAVE AIDS!" argument. Which is bigoted and wrong. (I'm reading the thread as I'm replying, by the way) You don't like homosexual people, it seems. Oh, you're calling people who respond to you childish and easy to anger. "I have Asbergers and ADHD! It's not my fault!" Generalisations and such. No resources or anything. Personal attacks, which are uncalled for. You now have an IQ of 135. This is important. Still no resources. You're not listening to anyone, because they called you an ass.
Oh! Your IQ is 135+!
You took antidepressant pills. Why I know this? Well, you said so. Why did you say that? I don't know.
You left.

So, now you're back to flame us. I don't know why. I don't quite get it, either. In the other thread, people were trying to have a discussion with you. You said they were flaming you. Now, you're flaming us, because you argued with 2 people. 2 people that were trying to show you the errors of your ways. They never even accused you of saying that homosexuals are punished by God. They accused you of saying that homosexuals are more likely to get AIDS. Which you said. You do know that this is not true?

And to be honest, nobody really flamed you. You were called an ass, because you have some very wrong views on the world. And anything that followed is your own fault.

I'd advise you to read that thread again and then you'll see that we didn't flame you or abuse you. You just overreacted.

Have a nice day.

Even if all you say is true (and it isn't, see Willem's post) then why the hell do you come back (after some months) and post this rant ? You're just looking to get flamed.

He must have really LIKED that whipping to come back for more. And after months of being away, he still remembers a disagreement with us? Must have worn it like a hair shirt all this time.

He's attempting to not judge the entire forum based on his "experience", and failing. Now if the dude wants to see what flaming on this forum looks like I point him towards our old buddy Rasta Jon.

Yes, I'd count this under 'troll-like behavior'. We annoyed him several months ago by tearing apart a poorly-defended argument, and now he's back to post a thread about how we're not moral and not objective, while simultaneously saying that it's not right to say things like that.

I fully support orgies that do not involve Mr_Mustache.

I'd say a vast majority of the people here are just assholes that like to flex their e-muscles.

Thoroughly taking themselves too seriously.
