And now, to get to you, blue boy:
richlind33: the only people you're hurting are yourselves, wasting your lives away trying to control things that aren't yours to control.
This is exactly what you're doing.
"I'm getting low rated when I insult people and act like a troll! This must be due to the people who tell me so using alts to downrate me! I should come in here and insult them more!"
We're not trying to "control" anything. Let me tell you what we're doing.
First of all, We're trying to ensure that misinformation isn't spread, or if it is, that people understand it's misinformation (like in the case of rtcvb32). Second of all, we're trying to ensure that the community stays peaceful (like in your case). Could we do this better? Yes, I'll admit, a lot of us could benefit from actually listening to the other person's side more or being less insulting when we deal with others, but there comes a certain point where if the person doesn't change their behavior, they get labeled as a troll. A troll is an individual who only comes online to stir up trouble, and nobody wants those.
Let's cover what you've done so far and what's actually been going on:
1. You've accused anybody who ever says anything bad about you of having alts and removing your rep.
- The actual case here is that there's probably no alts even involved. Nobody appreciates your insulting behavior save for maybe a couple other known trolls (for example, Tauto) who like seeing trouble stirred up. You're getting derepped not because of your political views, but because of your behavior.
2. You've repeatedly insulted anybody who doesn't share your political views, and then refused to listen to their point of view, never bothering to look into their argument.
- You're not looking for a rational debate. What you want is somebody to agree with you. You want somebody to say "You're right", but that's not going to happen unless they already hold your views beforehand. It's preaching to the choir, much like rtcvb32's behavior here.
3. You've promoted piracy.
- This is illegal, and illegal acts are frowned upon everywhere except maybe in whatever small circles you're used to that accept them.
4. You've attempted to alter the blame whenever you're caught doing one of the above wrong behaviors.
- You seem to lack the capacity to either back down, act calmly, or even apologize, so instead you decide to use various methods of ad hominem arguments, such as the point with tinyE's cancer, which is...personally, about the lowest I could imagine somebody going, to mock them about a life-threatening illness they went through.
5. You've claimed to care about none of it, yet come back time and time again to point out such.
- Hypocritical behavior is another aspect of a troll.
So, in short:
If somebody shares your view, they're a good person. If not, they're a stupid, moronic individual who uses alts to scam you out of your rep and make your opinions (which are actually just insults) look bad.
In short, you have become a troll. Much like apehater did, much like rtcvb32 has started to turn into, much like dtgreene unintentionally became, much like Tauto always was, much like Kleetus was until he got tired of it.
You may want to examine yourself before you accuse others. And the sad part is, I suspect that none of this will get through to you and you'll simply insult me however you can, but at least I can know I tried my best to explain to you the situation.
