The dumb QCS threads are the best ones

Just don't get too involved

I love how there are forum rivalries everywhere because most posters have factionalised into different discords and just smack talk each other constantly. It's so dysfunctional but I love it.

having a forums rival seems like it would be cool, just someone you can wake up every day and get mad about to give you vigor.

i dont think there's been an actual cool internet rivalry tho they mostly just seem to manifest as extremely passive aggressive snipes for twenty pages on end

What's the forum posting equivalent of meeting on a rainswept mountaintop to swing swords at each other? Having an Internet enemy is doomed to be lame by virtue of the medium

It's literally a soap opera.

- Pick gets the probe for publicly calling out someone over creepy PMs in an unrelated political argument.

- EVD starts a massive shitstorm in QCS. Pick shows up in an alt to defend herself, pointing out key facts.

- The 'falsely accused' poster "the 2016 lover" then decides to clear the air by showing their PMs to Pick and insist they are fine. People then say those PMs are weird and creepy. The defense from "the 2016 lover" is thus

the 2016 lover posted:

I'm curious what you meant here.

Pick never asked me to stop sending messages. I think that would be a pretty important first step in getting messages to stop. I PMed a user who I don't like and disagree with to make fun of them. That's the long and short of it.

I stand by the messages. I think it was ridiculous to suggest that there should be a politics thread only for people who pass a civics test, and I absolutely stand by saying "LOL" to someone saying we should be wary of anyone celebrating Neera Tanden's political demise.


EDIT:
VVVVV

I think what you're alluding to here is pretty far out of line

-Pick then comes back after speaking with Jeffery to admit she's confused to posters with each other, the original harassment complaint was about someone else. In other words, had 2016 lover kept their mouth shut it originally it would've been a massive slam dunk win for them

- the 2016 lover doubles down on it and tries to exit gracefully with a tip of the fedora.

- Someone who jumped into the QCS thread to spit venom at the mods and try to hold their behavior to account for protecting posters is then revealed to be a notorious mod famous for turning E/N into her own fiefdom punishing people for the slightest infraction of her rules including preventing people from warning others about someone regularly harassing people with extremely gross and violent porn.

If you're going to set a condition on someone, not inform them of the new expectation, and punish them for not meeting said condition, that's bad. Otherwise, you're just another welfare-worker Karen, the kind of petty bitch who gets off on punishing people with the little smidge of power you have (until an investigator is assigned to examine the civil rights violations you've accumulated over the years, and the union finally washes its hands of you).

This is such a magical place.

I was gonna say, if you can't at least mirthlessly giggle at the absurdity of furry RBG getting (consensually) Eiffel Towered in heaven by furry Chadwick Boseman and furry Rush Limbaugh, while furry crying Lady Liberty looks on and the cartoonists furry caricature in the corner says something like "This is something we can all come together over!" Then I dont think your brain is broken enough for the hellworld of 2021.

Then i realized they probably meant the other kind of spitroast, and it wasn't intended as a dig at the sort of weirdos who tweet poo poo like "Ruthkanda forever!"

it takes a special kind of weirdo to send 'rude' unsolicited PMs to posters just to continue lovely arguments and petty sniping. Like, what do you hope to get out of that?

The last word

Some people are incapable of not having the last word in an argument, and will go to great lengths to get that last little jab in.

I used to be like that, but I realized it makes people hate you and worked to stop, and not many people realize thats why they never get invites to parties.
