I'm confused, why are you moaning about people dog piling posters while simultaneously editing their avatars with text which dog piles them in the same way that you're criticizing?

Also "an open mind"? Do you honestly expect us to believe any of us could manage even a hair's weight of impact on your rational mind palace?

I didn't edit his avatar, those are "Something Awful Last Read Redux" extension notes. I take them to keep track of who is who, and unless I do what I did now I'm the only one that sees them. Longer sentences after a "|" are direct quotes from that person, it helps when you want to remember something particularly stupid someone once said.

If you at any point wanted to be taken seriously for your opinions, you were taught how to do it wrong. Possibly as a joke.

I can usually just read through most of the dumb stuff people write but your whole thing where you brought up Derek's court history, regardless of how easy it is to google, just reminds me of that other poster who chased Beer to a Fantasy Football League to let everyone know how terrible he was for things he wrote about Star Citizen. I can't say I rightly understand where you're coming from half the time and it's done more to undermine you than anything, also twisting yourself into knots, having micro-meltdowns and flip-flopping to say you were trying to "prove a point" doesn't help either. Nothing you're doing is particularly original and it isn't shining a light into the deep recesses of this thread to show just how deep the failings go.

This is a place where anyone registered can post and regardless of whether or not they post stinky poo poo or comedy gold they get equal billing with someone reading it. This place really isn't the echo-chamber people are panicking about, it's a train that's constantly shifting speeds until the day it finally runs off the track, and people trying to manage something that's out of control is foolhardy in the extreme.
