I didn’t mean personally giving you another chance. Arguing in his thread went on for a while, so all the other users that basically told you to stop gave you several chances without a moderator stepping in.
I was never given a chance.
No one ever gave anything even resembling an explanation (even though one could easily have been given, with merely a few sentences, taking only a minute or two), no answers, no clarifications…
No one spoke with me, but instead spoke at me.
Nothing I said, was ever counter addressed.
No one even tried to give any argument, reason, or evidence, against what I said.
Hence nothing I've said, has been shown to be wrong, in any way, shape or form.
All you've ever done, is to try to intimidate me into shutting up. (or feigning agreement)
The tactic of the bully. Or fascist. Or mobster.
Whenever someone does that, they prove that they know they're wrong.
Now if you did try, and I simply wouldn't listen, refused to be reasonable…
Sure. That could warrant a ban
…but you didn't.
You just claimed I was wrong. Baselessly.
Claimed that I was confrontational …despite being the ones who are confrontational.
Claimed that I was aggressive …despite being the ones who are aggressive. Who started a fight.
I could’ve sworn that that’s what the blade wiki says.
The English language isn't defined, by what is written in the Danbooru wiki.
The common usage, now and througout history, reflects my description of the word …as is confirmed by any and all dictionaries/encyclopedias (which are meant to describe common usage)
Practically no one, and no source, uses blade to mean edge and/or point. (it may happen among some Second Language speakers, who aren't that good at English, but…)
This is a fact, as you are very well aware.
This thread reminds me of situations where people might pull the “childish squabble” card. But I recently worked in children’s daycare and I have to say that I’d much rather deal with kindergarteners fighting over toys than adults arguing on the Internet.
Indeed.
There are no children who are anywhere near as immature, troll-ish, stupid, foolish, dishonest, malicious etc, as most adults are.
Like you.
Because some adults don’t give up (and can’t be distracted with another toy).
Yeah, some adults don't allow themselves to be intimidated/forced. Don't accept bullshit. Won't bow to the completely unreasonable. Actually require you to present reasons, rather than just threats.
The ones writing confrontational walls of text
As I said: It takes more words to explain wrongs, than to state them. This is an unavoidable fact.
…and it's rather ironic, to complain about me being overly wordy, when you have several people trying to explain the mechanics of the proposed aliasing to me, after I had understood it, making ever single one of those explanations completely unneccesary, and a waste of space! (now if just ONE of those explanations had been made, when I actually asked for one, and had yet to understand…)
and dishing out cool Latin terms
…
Pathetic. I have never dished out a fancy Latin term, to appear more legitimate. I don't use things, to appear more legitimate. I use arguments. Logic and reason. Evidence. (unlike you, who use your admin powers, to "win" the argument)
…and any term I may have dished out, I have also explained. (well… no need to explain ad hominem. Who doesn't know that term?)
I like being fair, but sometimes I prefer to risk being unfair to one user if that means that everyone else can live in peace.
That is an obvious lie.
AT BEST you could be said to be what MLK talked about, in this quote:
""I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;/…/Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.""
…and either way, this other quote of his, is very apt, to this situation:
"In your statement you assert that our actions, even though peaceful, must be condemned because they precipitate violence. But is this a logical assertion? Isn't this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock? Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God-consciousness and never-ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion? We must come to see that, as the federal courts have consistently affirmed, it is wrong to urge an individual to cease his efforts to gain his basic constitutional rights because the quest may precipitate violence. Society must protect the robbed and punish the robber."
…but how is a society supposed to punish the robber, and protect the robbed, when they themselves are the robbers?
Such a time is now. Take a one week vacation and use it to contemplate if you want to adjust to how we do things here or stay hung up on other users not wanting to spoon-feed you how Danbooru works.
Spoon-feed?
You call asking for a short and simple explanation, of something that is absolutely not obvious, spoon-feeding?
…and how the hell are you ever supposed to get new users, if newbies are never allowed to learn how things work?
And regardless, it should hardly be acceptable, for people to falsely claim to have explained, when they haven't …or to claim that a person is confrontational, when they are the ones who created a confrontation.
Now you may ask what I hope to achieve with this.
…
Well, I'd hope that this causes some self-searching, and contrition. Acknowledgement of having seriously wronged me …or of some other admin coming in and rectifying things
…but I expect nothing of the sort.
Rather I expect, most probably, another ban.
Perhaps a permanent one?
…but really, how is that a problem?
This situation left me with three choices:
1. Do what I've just done
2. Leave this specific topic, and continue on …to, inevitably, get banned later, anyway. (given how you behave) As well as that involving my bending to evil, which I can't do.
3. Shut up. Never post anymore. (and how is that different from being banned, exactly?)
