Having a mancrush on a bombastic douchebag speaks volumes about your character.

Despite how I feel about Ironman, FortWayne's comment actually displays some general compassion and camaraderie.

What do you think the comment of yours above says about you?

I disagree it's not camaraderie, it's yearning for protection in numbers. Most of the people that root for Ironman are those whose arguments are weak and easily broken down by the same opposing forces that Ironman spent much time harassing. So since they feel defeated, they root for their troll to fling poo at their opposition . It's sad

Bingo. Take Dan for instance. CiC is gone and he's STILL posting unfunny, redundant crap about goats and anal lube.

You noticed that too. Dan starts the animal sex/fat naked people posts a lot of the time then bitches about ironman posting about it. That would be the same dan who is always crying hypocrite.

Oops, sorry the site was wedged for 3 and a half minutes while I was altering the database.

Should be all OK now.

People tend to gravitate towards topics they are intimately familiar with, as it gives them an edge up in a debate

Summary by the numbers.

Feels inferior, lies like crazy, extremely fragile, no empathy, drinks a lot, lacks awareness, feels sex shame, feels unsuccessful, questions HIS OWN mental stability

Damn, that's the best psycho-analysis I've ever heard.

HEY YOU says

Well that's a fine argument based on your value system.

I can stand proudly by my values, and I follow them consistently. I'll go toe to toe with anyone who wants to virtue signal.

Just because you don't find it funny doesn't mean other people don't. I can't help you if you lack a sense of humor. Ironically, your avatar, Jim Carrey, would probably have laughed at that joke.

You can paint me anyway you want, but that's a reflection of you, not me. I've called piggy out on being uncreative. That's not bitching. I understand you loathe me, but quite frankly, I don't think of you or piggy or any other troll other than when I'm ridiculing you. Put simply, I'm a better man than you will ever be. I don't have to resort to lying about others.

Dan8267 says

I've called piggy out on being uncreative.

You are clearly much more creative than piggy, but that's not saying much. He's gone now, and still trolling you from the metaphorical grave. The goat anal jokes should be retired, imo. Set your sites higher.

Your well made arguments are much more impressive than the goat jokes, although I enjoyed an occasional ironman goat love smack down.

If you were a better man than anyone we wouldn't be reading your animal sex/fat people pictures garbage that you frequently post first in your flame wars with cic. You being a hypocrite is a fact not a reflection on anyone but you.

Why would i loathe you? I feel sorry for you is the only emotion I have concerning you. Your ego, insecurity, self importance, and immaturity (the last being the cause of the first three) leads to lowering yourself to the depths that you would post such garbage while being incapable of any type of self reflection that would improve the situation. You really believe that when you do the same things you criticize others for it's right. That it's a just cause when you do it and trolling/lying when anyone else does it.

Dan8267 says

That is trump level bullshit self justification spin. What is really sad is you honestly believe it. If you were truly the better man you believe yourself to be you would own up, man up, and grow up.

Ouch. Now that's a smack down

Hahaha, Ironman - the ultimate troll, I like it. You see what we'll be missing now?

rando says

* Illegal immigrants are breaking the law and driving down wages for citizens.

* Women enjoy the attention of rich and powerful men, even when (especially when) they are pussy grabbers.

* Islam is an ultra-violent subversive movement disguised as a religion, dedicated to the annihilation of the same tolerance that lets it exist in the West.

* Globalization has been devastating for American industry and has severely weakened the country.

Or
Legal immigrants bring up the global GDP per capita, even if some (typically low productivity) sectors loose. Global competition is much worse for this sectors.
Women love alpha male, but only the most stupid ones love 'alpha-money' men; and really stupid/greed ones think pussy grabbing is a technique with prospects. desperate I don't have a problem with that, since I don't care about that type.
The ultra-violent islam also terrorizes the mainstram islam. College educated islam for other coutries are less likely to be violent than ignorant Islamic people already living in USA (or those who convert to Islam)
Globalization is the best think that can happen to a country overall, but some sectors loose. It was true on Adam Smith and David Ricardo times and it hasn't change. Merchantilist Europe is a lesson not to repeat

There are always another sides of an argument, but Trump gives an f about the argument. Any counter argument is a conspiracy. Wrong or right, other presidents try to reach to academics insights to make their points. He is is good at making people thing with their guts.

bob2356 says

You being a hypocrite is a fact not a reflection on anyone but you.

A hypocrisy involves a contradiction. Name one time I contradicted myself.

bob2356 says

Why would i loathe you?

You're triggered. I never intended that, but special snowflakes like you get trigger for no good reason. Quite frankly, you've made ad hominem attacks on me about as much as I've made against piggy, and that's hypocrisy.
bob2356 says

That it's a just cause when you do it and trolling/lying when anyone else does it.

I've counter-trolled, but I've never trolled. There is a huge difference. Trolls disrupt conversations. Counter-trolls make the trolls feel bad when they do. Purpose matters.

As for lying, I have never stated a lie on this website, ever. I challenge you to find a single lie I've told in the 26,720 comments I've made. You can't do that, and that makes you the liar. By the way, this is a standing challenge for anyone in the world.

Lying would entirely defeat the purpose of debate according to my values. To convince someone of a falsehood would be to lose a debate. The entire purpose of debate is to demonstrate the truth of your position. Not only does success require convincing the others, but it requires convincing others for the right reason. It requires that others understand why your position is correct. Any deception completely defeats that purpose. This is why I am morally and ethically superior to you. You frequently lie because you believe that convincing others is the end goal and it justifies any means. To me, understanding why true things are true is the end goal, and deception can never serve that purpose.

Dan8267 says

I've called piggy out on being uncreative. That's not bitching.

No, it's not. You are just labeling it bitching because you are trying to poison the well with and ad hominem. Your hypocrisy is as create as piggy's.
errc says

Ouch. Now that's a smack down

Translation: I also hate Dan, so I'll support anyone attacking him.

You two are like third graders calling classmates names on the schoolyard, except you lack the creativity to do it in a funny way. I may be a smart ass, even arrogant at times, but I'm far more mature than either of you. The only question I have is which of you is trying to take piggy's place on PatNet.

In the interest of the PatNet community, I will offer you a one-time olive branch. We will never like each other and will never have a productive conversation, so let's go our separate ways and never speak of or to each other again. That's probably the best we can do, and PatNet would be better if people who obviously dislike each other simply stopped talking to each other.

You boys sure do a lot of what you say is unacceptable when others do it.

FortWayne says

Patrick I'll make you a good old American business deal, if ironman promises not to publish people's personal info again I'll pay $10 for his unban.

Having a mancrush on a bombastic douchebag speaks volumes about your character.

#fanboy

Nobody should be harassing people outside of this site, other than that I don't think people should be banned.

Was?

errc says

I disagree it's not camaraderie, it's yearning for protection in numbers.

Or it's not being easily offended by morons on the internet. Maybe some of you just need to congregate in your safe space where ironmen can't make you feel bad.

For me it's about free speech, and not being such pussies.

FortWayne says

For a minute I thought you were describing Dan there and few others.

HilARIOUS

NuttBoxer says

Is this the same as the Dodgerfan situation?

What was the Dogerfan situation?

Dan8267 says

I have never insulted a user who presented an honest argument no matter how flawed it was.

YesYNot says

What was the Dogerfan situation?

It involved a user named Dodgerfan, and something about personal information being posted. All I remember is the information was not really personal, and I think even contributed by the accuser, in some part.

Dan8267 says

Only propaganda and willful deception ever invoked my wraith.

What does Dan consider propaganda and willful deception? Anything he wants!

NuttBoxer says

Is Patrick surveilling us offline to see when we screw up so he can lower the ban-hammer?

Nope, not surveilling anyone.

NuttBoxer says

Dan8267 says

I have never insulted a user who presented an honest argument no matter how flawed it was.

If this is a lie, it would be trivially easy for you to point out a counter-example. If you do not, we all know who the real liar is.

You set yourself up pretty nicely for that one, how high was the horse you were on?

As to the examples, if you unblock me from your threads, you'll have plenty.

I call bullshit on you. You don't need to be able to post on my threads to quote them on this thread. You failed. Want to try again?

Congrats @Patrick and patnetters on killing a troll.

The thing is that while banning one idiot is good, banning 10 idiots is better. What we need is THE PURGE ANARCHY: PATNET EDITION

I want to see more than just one idiot banned, there are plenty of others that need to be banned in order to make the world safe for democracy. So take the the streets PATNET, the lights are out, the police are staying home to protect their own families.... who do you want to see banned and what are you willing to pay to make that happen?

Dan8267 says

My insults, whether you find them funny or not, did not disrupt the argument, but simply poked fun of dishonest and foolish opponents. I have never insulted a user who presented an honest argument no matter how flawed it was. Only propaganda and willful deception ever invoked my wraith.

I'm a necromancer.

tou·ché

Dan8267 says

I'm a necromancer.

Not the words I'd use to describe you.

Hmmm, tag did not get closed. Allowing that to happen is a bug on my part.

Got it. Dan insults people it's creative. People insult dan it's trolling. Dan posts gay porn and animal sex it's with a purpose, purpose matters. Other people post gay porn and animal sex it's trolling. Dan attacks people it demonstrates the truth in his position. People attack dan it's ad hominem. It's different for dan since he is
Dan8267 says

morally and ethically superior

How could I miss such a simple concept?

You make a dozen comments to my 1 and I'm triggered? Really. How does that work exactly?

Dan8267 says

We will never like each other and will never have a productive conversation, so let's go our separate ways and never speak of or to each other again. That's probably the best we can do, and PatNet would be better if people who obviously dislike each other simply stopped talking to each other.

Your ego runs away with you again. I don't dislike you at all. You make a lot of interesting posts, many of which I agree with. I dislike your frequent lapses into loathsome juvenile hypocritical behaviour and the ridiculous self justifications you advance for that type of behaviour. If patrick were looking to clean up disgusting, repulsive, and insulting posts you would be one of the top candidates for account deletion after CIC no matter what self righteous self serving justifications you incorrectly believe makes it right to post them.

People can like you just fine but dislike when you behave poorly.

bob2356, it's not hard to see how you and your fellow trolls operate. Any joke in which your team is the butt is unfunny, while the exact same joke against the other team is genius. You exemplify the polarization of America. Us vs. them. Real Americans versus not real Americans. And quite frankly, it's tiresome. I don't care what your opinion of me is because I don't respect you.

bob2356 says

You make a dozen comments to my 1 and I'm triggered? Really. How does that work exactly?

Obviously counting isn't your strong suit. As for how it works, calling fools on their bullshit isn't being triggered. Sure, you really want to troll people, and like all trolls you think you are successful. A troll's capacity for self-delusion knows no bounds. But really, your victories are all in your mind.

bob2356 says

Dan attacks people it demonstrates the truth in his position. People attack dan it's ad hominem.

An ad hominem is an irrelevant attack on a person to discredit his argument rather than attacking his arguments. Judging a person to be dishonest for repeatedly posting debunked lies that you have just demonstrated are lies with ample evidence from multiple sources is not the ad hominem fallacy. If you can't tell the difference between those two things, that's your failing.

bob2356 says

Your ego runs away with you again.

What you interpret as ego is actually conviction, and that's something you will never understand. I've always said "the messenger is irrelevant". You never could grasp that.

bob2356 says

People can like you just fine but dislike when you behave poorly.

Now you are just being dishonest about your actions to hide your shameful trolling.

One more reason why I don't think Ironman should have been banned, he did nothing different than Dan.

After all it was Dan who kept on posting gay port here all over the place, wasn't Ironman. I'm not advocating Dan be banned, I think he certainly adds "spice" to the site (free speech after all), but I also think Ironman should not be banned anymore either.

Dan should be banned for having such a horrific grasp on what is funny versus what is not. Holy crap, the guy is nuts

There is nothing funny about posting CiC likes goats and anal lube for the 300th time. It wasn't funny or clever the first time.

If an infant looked at you and said "goo goo ga ga" and then laughed, that would be a funnier joke than "cic likes animal husbandry and anal lube" over and over and over again
