how are you guys so mad about a ukraine thread you don't even post in

have you considered just not being so mad about it, and this is a serious question, i genuinely don't understand the level of hatred

did you work yourself into a forums bloodlust where bashing your own metaphorical faces against the metaphorical wall won't cut it or something

Neither of you have ever made a funny post. You're too gutless to ever really try and flame someone because internally you know you don't have the stomach to be really insulting so you fart out these gay little cliches that no one could ever possibly get mad at

i'm not trying to flame you i'm just noting for the record that you're an idiot without an ounce of self awareness who also can't read a posting room when they really need to

Same

Ok I'll engage. There's multiple Ukraine/Russia threads. D&D has one, GiP has one (I assume/trust), CSPAM has one, and GBS has one. So you can see the exact same dreary bullshit through a few lenses.

This place posts about the truth of the war and that war is bad. Idk I don't read it, but Majorian was modding it and it seemed fine when there was a big ol brigade week where all the U/R threads all started going cross-forum to debate. I did not get probed for posting "war bad"

D&D is koos effort trap zone, and out of all of the threads that one is the best case study on how to handle this. BUT STILL multiple times that thread has linked directly to charities that that support real deal actual kill-the-jews Nazis. I do get probed for posting "war bad"

GBS is the old Mt Everest death watching fucks hooting and hollering over the death of enemies. I don't believe them when they say it is a bit. It's not, they get super duper horny. That's being modded by kit who has been the dumbest bitch in like the last 2 years of QCS struggle sessions directly calling out her various pet threads.

We all hashed this out months ago. CSPAM stuck to the non-brigading truce talks or whatever. GBS absolutely has not. Their psychos got slaps on the wrist while like 4 of our psychos got permabanned I think I'm forgetting. All this happened months ago, so this whole this is deeply funny because of direct experience in drinking FORUMS BATTLEMENTAL SPACE is kinda fun.

well as long as everyone's having fun

dustcat i respect the urge to roll around in the poo poo, respect the hell out of it, but you need to make sure the insults describe your target better than yourself. that will always backfire

there's certainly a big disconnect between how various posters see the forums they post on and how the drama posters see them

whenever there's a really annoying guy in the c-spam thread, it seems like they're usually trump posters. But it's not like I know how many trump posters there are who AREN'T really annoying because I only look at post histories when I'm like "what's this guy's deal, why's he like this"

yeah there's like a whole science of "why is this idiot posting in this thread making me angry when they usually post in this other thread making them angry" i think it's called intersectionality or something, from like venn diagrams

i dont want to break up the community thats grown there, it seems very important to several, potentially many posters, but as someone who posted there in the early days of 2015-16 id just like a place to see wacky trump updates that isnt D&D or GBS. the dude is hilarious and i want to know everything he does. i dont really want to know that problematic poster Borvis T. Yeti is shoving meth up his rear end and battering his coworker teenaged waitress with a kitten on a rope he's fashioned into a makeshift flail

yeah, entirely

the problem is the president's death; this stuff was always there but while he lived, the president was making content so prodigiously that all this nonsense was lost in the noise

he's making signs of recovery lately though, there have been some good days in the trump thread even in this year
