Bro, I can't speak for those other dudes. Don't want to. For me, the "hmmm" is barely even related to your political views. We've gone back and forth and clearly I strongly disagree with a lot of your positions. There are other people on the board with conservative views that I'm cool with in dms. Some of them even say blatantly racist things on the board. When the spirit moves me, I call them out on their bullshit. The thing that gets me about you is how hard you wag your tail to get that pat on the head. OK, I get that you have certain views about the state of the american black. But some of the shit you do is just mad questionable beyond that. Some specific examples? Not too long ago, I was having a back and forth with Thin Lizzy.It was essentially about race, it's obvious what side I was on and what side he was on. He was going on and on about the entire black race is a failure and how I just need to cut my losses, blah blah blah, post after post. Then for some reason- you weren't even in the argument- you jump in, ignore all of Elizabeth's other "points", cherry pick one out and then said "This is all I've been saying? Why do people call me an uncle tom?" Seriously, you have no idea?
or another time- the poster werewolf operative had stopped posting for a while. His entire gimmick was posting anti-black memes. To the point where I thought he didn't know english. When he returned to posting, you seemed beside yourself. You were all like "where have you been? I missed your colorful posts!"
I'm gonna leave the examples at that, though. I'm always accused of being an obsessive loon and I'm not really in the mood to argue with these crackers over it. You can say "hey, I just like funny memes even if they are racist" or if a poster makes a point you agree with, it doesn't matter if it's accompanied by a series of racist comments. The fact of the matter is that you have some very clear tendencies when it comes to your posting style and they really jump out at me. It goes beyond simply not getting caught up in the bullshit and seems to be about getting a certain stamp of approval.
Back in the day, I used to go back and forth and post long posts about black folk, racism, etc, and I saw that I was putting a whole lot of effort, thought, and emotion into debating people that ai don’t know, have never met, where only wanted to get me going. Because their views never changed.
Thing is, you like to go back and forth. You enjoy it. Why, only you can look into yourself for that answer.
Thin Lizzy, says the same thing, over and over again. And posts the same stats, over and over again. A broken record. And then you go back and forth with a broken record. You didn’t call him out, because you did what he wanted.
On Werewolf Operative, an intelligent person can see the game that he was playing from a mile away.
Thing is, you haven’t seen this for what it is. A training ground. Many of the posters on Getbig like to stir up emotions, especially about black folk. And you take the bait. Going back and forth for pages, and nothing gets resolved, yet they get a reaction, plus attention . That is what people want. Giving people th satisfaction that they get under your skin, ain’t my game.
Bottom line, it’s about power. Getting you riled up, is power to many of these people. Thin Lizzy and all of the rest of them hold the same views whether you go back and forth with them or not. Feeling like a victim, is power to them. And some folk need to feel the victim, because otherwise, they have to look at themselves. I am not saying don’t call people out on their blantant racism, like Ahalo, who only saw black women as a vessel for sex, and drove Lobstah off the board. But, people like to troll on here, so picking out what is real and a troll job (TA) takes some skill.
