“It’s a little too quiet” - US Politics February 2021

I mean Hadrian’s thing.

I said “money is real” not “money isn’t not real”. Tbf both are statements normal people all agree with but I also said it in the direct normal way.

stfu

Tried so hard to be normal for a while but the gabbneb always shines through.

Who

At least now I’m humming Cyndi Lauper

So this is how dreadful the US pol thread used to be.

i was in the big don is not gabbneb camp but i feel like a not-gabbneb would have bothered to find out who gabbneb is rather than always pretending he doesn't know every time he gets accused

I asked who he was. It’s slightly upthread I think.

Wait does he have a Wikipedia page?

i don't know. type "gabbneb" into wikipedia.

Lol “He didn’t even bother to find out about some guy on here”

Ban Big Don

Ban Sic

"Big" Don Abernathy = gabneb hydration

sic is a fantastic poster imo

yes agree

Lol

His posts in this thread aren’t defensible. Sorry.

Like you have to accept that between the two of us I was the only one remotely making sense and the only reason it dragged on is because I was being way more charitable than he deserved.

You're not from around these parts, are you?

Aimless, is my time up? Is this how Big Don’s story ends??

That is not for me to say. It is in God's hands.

Inshallah

yes, but I think he is another person, he doesn't sound like ben b bag to me

yeah, he's totally not

He never bothered to find out who ben b bag is

A non-ben b bag would have done his research

I was hoping at the beginning you were Οὖτις in a controps guise because I wanted so much for him to come back, but you're nothing like him

Some real cat on hot tin roof energy in that one

lol. if you're getting zinged by dan s you know you're an asshole.

Woah woah woah. Lower the temperature please.

All I’ve done is defend myself against bullying if we’re being honest here. There’s just no for call for that degree of name calling imo

This is becoming a pile-on its disgraceful rly

you know you're an asshole.

Wellll I’ve never felt like I had to flag a post before but I had to do it with that one and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Increasingly isolated, reports say

lol

really hard to figure out exactly which post to flag but i just went with the general feeling and i am satisfied

Is there a way to find out how many times a post has been flagged and also reveal it publicly? I feel like there’s an opportunity for me to prove a point here....

nope

I decided to check the thread to see what was happening and this is a mistake I should avoid making again

lol

Tonight is a night of seeing like 20 different themes amidst posts on FB and not understanding any of them really.

(Maybe I should’ve watched the Super Bowl.)

Well that’s fine but consider that you also could have risen to the moment and powerfully condemned the way I’ve been ganged up on and abused (maybe even helped your community here to take a look at themselves and realize their mistake) but in truth not every man is built to do the right thing when it’s also the hardest thing to do.

DJP xpost

Big Don, in the kindest way I know how, I ask you to please consider shutting the everloving fuck up already.

It’s a little too big don

picturing the ill-conceived "Big Red" toy from SNL

I went back and read today's posts here. In the main, you've been challenged on your opinions by several other posters. Presumably this is the "ganging up" your mention. In addition you've been repeatedly linked to a mysterious personage called gabbneb. If this seems like "abuse" to you, perhaps you are not cut out for politics on the internet.

If I strongly agreed with you and disagreed with your opponents, then I'd be defending your opinions as congruent with my own. But crying shame over how you've been treated here just seems foolish. These are mere love taps compared to real internet abuse. You're just unhappy because no one has rallied to your side. They have no obligation to do so. This has been a fairly civil and mainly respectful discussion by ilx community standards. Take it in stride and stop complaining. You just look peevish and whiny.
