because he is a needling nuisance

You and A-Mike have zero credibility to complain about anybody being a needling nuisance.

Of course, you have the right to continue to complain about it all you want on this forum.

Please, Canpakes, continue doing whatever it is that you are doing, I, for one, appreciate it.

Hey, I’m glad that he may have grown beyond his 2000 posts of being a “needling nuisance who attacks the poster before the content of a post.” I think that most folks would be happy with that improvement. I’m glad to be blamed by him for his step forward.

All of his act has been painfully predictable. It will continue to be. Watch what he tries next. ; )

I have been starring at this for several minutes but I can't seem to solve the hidden message in the pattern.

I think the bottom half might be a "C" - I need another clue.

If you're playing hangman, he hung himself weeks ago. But the clue has now been edited to read "Gorillas suck" or some crap.

Yeah, not to mention that it's wasted effort.

It's like trying to divine a deeper meaning from a puddle.

I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse...

Well that sucks, and I'm sorry that happened to you.

Posting is a thing - it requires a measure of personal responsibility and ownership.

...says the guy who won't address at least half the things directed at him.

Years ago, I used to devote significant time and thoughtful effort into posts within threads here, and elsewhere. I’ll let my record of past conversations with faqs or subgenius be the evidence. Those threads are still around.

But, I also realized at one point that such time is wasted when the person you’re conversing with simply ignores the content of other’s posts, instead choosing only to pivot to ludicrous partisan talking points. If those folks don’t have any intent of conversing with honesty or credibility, why should anyone waste the effort to respond extensively to their claims? Better to just use an economy of words, or a picture that effectively makes the argument, as a stand-in. It often drives home the point just as well, and frees up a ton of time for meaningful interaction elsewhere.

Ceeboo is right; “(p)osting is a thing - it requires a measure of personal responsibility and ownership.” As do actual conversations require the same. That isn’t happening with folks that either don’t respond, or purge their history of bad faith responses because even they can’t abide them.

You have to admit the A.I. for these later programs is more sophisticated, but there are inherent limitations.

Exactly.

People who want to be taken seriously should behave seriously. There's a massive difference between making a joke and being a troll. If that difference is lost on someone, they're a troll, despite all their denials.

Yup. I put such people on ignore, so that unless another poster quotes them I don't even have to waste time scrolling down through their stuff.
