OMG!! You're amazing. AMAZING!

I just quoted your OWN WORDS to you on the fair thread:

jskains, page 1 of the FAIR thread:
Trying to figure me out rather than just trying to talk to me honestly are two different animals. In all my years online, no one wanted to know me, rather everyone has wanted to demonize me, so I just play along.


YOU were the one who made it clear you weren't just talking about this website.

You know what my problem is? Thinking you actually mean what you say. But apparently there is some sort of secret meaning I'm supposed to ferret out.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Dragging crap off other boards out of context is still childish and not helpful. It also just reminds us that you will not stop until you can drag me through any puddle of mud you can find.

Just for clarification:

My citation from Josh:

Trying to figure me out rather than just trying to talk to me honestly are two different animals. In all my years online, no one wanted to know me, rather everyone has wanted to demonize me, so I just play along.


Was not a quote from another board, it was a quote from THIS board, here:

In a contexual sense, yes. And honestly, do you really think any of this has value?

Again, I don't particularly care if Josh wants to be provocative and combative. I'm just trying to get him to take responsibility for his own words. Instead, he is playing the victim.


I don't know when you started posting on FAIR, probably before I did, but you are wrong. The mods would give the person a chance to hang himself. Calls for examples gone unanswered, or even if the poster posts and run, without responding, those all call for mod action. But that post would be allowed to get responses before mod action.

And the mods have even been known to allow us to play with trolls for a while.

Obsession. It isn't just a perfume.

Uh, yes, beastie's definitely been around longer than you have. You're a relative newcomer.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Look up "context" and see if you get what that means.
