FlyingSquid(I don't know on which instance he is, but you see him quite often).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Careful interacting with FlyingSquid. I refused to be drawn into an argument with them and was banned from World News which they moderate.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You were banned from World News because of transphobic bigotry, as you know.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. You asked a deliberatly transphobic question, to define a REAL women (implying some women are not real). Then banned me because I refused to fall for your trick.

It is impossible to objectively mod your own arguments. You are Judge Judy and executioner.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This would be a lot more believable if you didn't make a post earlier today suggesting Biden is a pedophile and didn't have a bunch of deleted antivaxxer posts in the modlogs (and one suggesting the live broadcast of the moon landing was fake).

Whoops.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought the charge was being transphobic?

All the other examples listed are highlight faulty logic, not expressing an opinion.

Saying A does not imply B.

In our particular case, saying a governing body should clarifying it's classification rules to avoid future incidents does not imply hate towards any particular person or group of people.

Sorry, not going to argue with you about this right-wing shit again. Go find someone else to be bigoted around.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You are being overly antagonistic and seem unreasonably attached to labeling me as right wing.

You post too often and inaccurately for conversations like this not to occur again. I've already corrected your posts twice today and further interactions could be mistaken for a grudge.

I don't like blocking people because I'm here to hear a variety of opinions, but it's probably better for everyone if I do so.

As a parting thought, I'll leave you with the definition of a bigot and let you reflect.

A person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

you really do let the moderator power go to you head huh

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I definitely let the moderator power go to my head by banning people for being bigots in the communities I moderate what with that being against the rules in those communities.

I mean really, the temerity- the gall of me enforcing rules just because I'm a moderator.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

no, its deeper than that. you tend to cry about everything and just keep the argument going for no reason other than you want to argue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You seem to be the one who is keeping this argument going since you were the one who replied to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

oh boy, here we go again. please continue proving my point.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

See how I wasn't talking to you and then you came in and attacked me unprompted?

Seems like the person who just keeps arguments going for no reason would be the person who attacks another person unprompted.

But good on you for defending a bigot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

i didn't defend him at all, but WOW, you really take screenshots and chase people around like that. you really do need a life.

it's a public forum, if you don't like random conversations or people, god forbid, commenting, take a hike.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it’s a public forum, if you don’t like random conversations, take a hike.

You mean like continuing an argument for no reason?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

its funny that you're name is on here basically tagged as an ass hole, did you read the rest of the thread? im not the only one that feels you are one, and you to continue to prove everyone right

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

And yet you're doing the very thing you accused me of doing. So I guess we're two peas in a pod.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Cool. Let me know when I'll be healthy enough to get one.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

same. I don't remember the details, but he/she is kind of a dick. watch me get banned for this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’ve enjoyed my experience on here a lot more after blocking them, lol. I felt like I saw a stupid argument on almost every post, and they were either always the culprit, or continued the argument well past the point of good faith.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

A good strategy. I wish I knew it before they banned me from commenting.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

I've had good and bad interactions with them, so I just think "hey they are flawed (hopefully) human beings that have good days and bad days". Chances are if I treat them (or anyone) kindly, the interaction will be positive.

My goal online is to try and be a wholesome user, although that doesn't always happen. I usually delete my comments when I don't like how I acted with someone else as I want to remind myself to take a kinder approach to Lemmy. There's enough toxicity online.

I think "would Mr. Rodgers approve?"

I think a good policy is to avoid personal attacks. Focus on the subject and avoid swearing.

FlyingSquid seems to have alot of accounts on different instances
