Panfilo posted:Another way to evaluate how lovely people can be around TB and other posters in general: No, actually people have been probated for insinuating that another poster was a paedo. Rightfully or not, you can decide for yourself, but it's not just call someone a paedo and they're out.

So is TB a transsexual that people are purposely misgendering? Or just someone that expects goons to know their gender by reading her username on the screen?

No, they (I think TB is a she but I'm not sure and would hate to assume) objected to being referred to as "it." Because it is the pronoun you use to refer to an object, not a person. It was a crummy thing for Moneyball to do, but not unforgivable. Then, instead of apologizing, he decided to probate her and close the thread. That's bananas.

TB has a long history of picking fights in the Bad With Money thread, and after one of them Moneyball said something like, "Next time she/he/it starts trolling don't bite."

Iron Crowned posted:TB has always been super reactionary, to the point I'm 90% positive she's a Slashie re-reg No proof positive either way, but she did show up in a now-gassed thread about lena dunham that was talking about slashie. Quoted a dude talking about her (slashie) and said the following. "Dude I've been right here posting about project runway and making fun of the occasional E/N person. I have no idea who you are and I've never doxxed anyone in my life." https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3678222&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=12#post437165284 So if she's not slashie then I guess she wanted attention?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Ahaha this is so disingenuous it makes my head hurt. No, TB feeling slighted at a random post is not at all similar to folks running off pedophiles. TB tends to be polite and courteous when a poster initially says something stupid to her, especially if they thought they were saying it in good faith. Look at the people that support her; at some point they might have said something to her that she responded, "Hey, that's not cool, for [reasons]" and they either apologized or just dropped it. She's only agressive toward people that have repeatedly doubled down about their lovely racist behavior. The fact that she gives everyone an opportunity to save face really helps contrast how racist they end up coming off when simply saying "Ok" is a bridge too far. Paladinus posted:No, actually people have been probated for insinuating that another poster was a paedo. Rightfully or not, you can decide for yourself, but it's not just call someone a paedo and they're out. Which is why I didn't say "A poster that acts like a pedo is always driven out/probated/ostracized. The fact of the matter is that more goons can agree that kid touching is hosed up than goons that agree that racism is lovely and bad. The forum behavior and the fact that we had to have a subforum dedicated to PoC talking about these issues illustrates that fact. Now if goons weren't acting like armchair Chris Hansens I could be cynical enough to understand why they would get the concept of racism either, but given that they could understand things like creepy internet behavior toward minors, they shouldn't get a pass by playing naive about racist attitudes.

I think it's time to move on from this. I found that thread about the dad who hates his kids and burns their clothes but he's nice because he also hugs them "ironically". Also his golden child has done no wrong except the time he beat his loser soon with a broom, other than that though great guy! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3722560

EmmyOk posted:No that's not my point. I am specifically saying people calling that screenshot his apology isn't accurate. nah there's absolutely context, the context is MB saying quote:There was more to the email exchange and I'm not discussing that here. Post about people bad with money please. which is totally an easier and more rational way to dismiss a screenshot than "actually there was an apology in that email too"

Man, I had forgotten that LLJKSiLK was forgiving his elder son for beating the poo poo out of his younger in the same chain of posts where he jumped on the younger son for the crime of... eating snacks that were supposed to be for the other kids? loving insanity. I also recall him coming back to the forums to talk about how his life is better, honest, right before starting in on "I make tons of comments about how marriage is an institution designed to gently caress men over and I never want to get married again, which for some reason upsets my serious girlfriend who's alluded to wanting to get married, but gently caress her, right?" Dude is an absolute class act.

I feel legitimately bad for people who are so desperate for human contact and understanding that they post to excess in E/N, all the while knowing fully well that their posts are being relentlessly combed through for mockery, derision, etc. I will say that what little of E/N I've read seems to indicate that it's relatively well-moderated, and at least within that subforum, no one is being messily shat all over.
