Bored - But AIBU

[MrSpoc]

If you have a difference of opinion with a poster on a thread is it U to expect that it gets left on a thread or do people then ignore/snub cause rows with the person just because they dont like them? Do they then find it hard to agree with the same views as the poster?

I am bored by the way.

In my case, no, because I agreed with you (though not in person) on the reverse-racism thread, while disagreeing with you on other threads.

I have said before though that I find your views tend to lack credibility and you seem to have an agenda to push, rather than come at threads from a neutral standpoint yourself. You are also one of the easiest posters to remember, not because of your spelling, but because of your writing style, which is rather non-empathetic and blinkered.

Of course it should be left on the thread, gets into the realms of stalkerish behaviour to keep bringing it up on other threads.

I suppose if you found someone elses views extreme and distasteful then you're not going to single them out for best MN buddies, so not answering them might not be ignoring but rather just avoiding any shit that might get thrown as a result of you knowing you're going to clash.

Who have you been having differences of opinion with then?

And why are you bored?

You also have a tendency to call other posters unpleasant names, which may make them wary of you.

i dont remember any posters except the real weirdos, mentioning no names, so i just say what i think regardless. some of their points i agree with, some i wont, such is life

Are you saying posters have to come at threads from a neutral standpoint nijinsky?

I don't.

"Are you saying posters have to come at threads from a neutral standpoint nijinsky?"

No, I didn't say that. See above.

nijinsky - so true nijinsky. i dont have any agender but i do have strong views. if my mind gets changed or I am wrong i will always hold my hands up.

AgentZigzag - im always having difference of opinions with people (Im not always right but have strong views). Nothing this time though.

Im bored because its a slow day.

'I find your views tend to lack credibility and you seem to have an agenda to push, rather than come at threads from a neutral standpoint yourself.'

I've re-read it and can only understand it as you saying OP lacks credibility because he has an agenda to push, rather than coming to threads with a neutral standpoint.

What have I missed?

I have a very poor memory

so you could call me all the names under the sun and wish infected piles upon me and i would chat merrily away with you the next day.

If I had a better memory, I would certainly hold a grudge

I'm not one of these people who go through past threads but I have somehow formed the opinion, rightly or wrongly, that Mr Spoc's agenda is that of wronged fathers in divorce, and that he is a bit of a misogynist. I also don't find him that credible in some of the things he claims. Have I said that before?

how can someones views lack credibility? Surley it is just someones views and the point is to try and persuade them that it is wrong and why?

I have never been divorced.

I thought everyone came on MN with their own viewpoints and experiences based on what they've been through in life nijinsky.

That's the point of the forum isn't it?

And you say you're not the kind of person to go through past threads, but then go on to base your judgment of the OP on the past threads you've been on.

Disagreements should be left on a thread. Rudeness and unprovoked offensive comments tend to stick in the mind.

You are the only poster on here OP whom I would normally seek to avoid, since I find you very aggressive and unable to consider even for a moment that you might actually be wrong.

AgentZigZag are you deliberately misunderstanding me, or do you have no attention to detail?

I do not trawl through past threads, bringing up statements made 3 months ago. I can however, through the normal facilities of my memory, recall occasional posts made by certain posters. And for the reasons stated above, I can recall some posts made by Mr Spoc.

His views do stand out due to a tendency towards wide generalisations, sweeping claims, and to name-calling.

I don't think there's any need for implying I'm deliberately misunderstanding you or pay not attention to detail nijinsky.

I've just tried to clarify what you're saying.

Maybe you should be clearer?

If you don't think mrspocs posts are credible because you disagree with his views then just say it, rather than going round about the houses.

Bit prickly aren't you?

Err, why is everyone having a go at the OP?

He only asked a question, he didn't ask everyone if they hated him or not.

everyone isn't.

Go sit in the corner until you learn that it's naughty to make sweeping statements.

go on.

face the wall.

I haven't had a go at the OP jane, or said I hate him/her.

And hecate was just inviting people to slag her off, so she/he didn't either.

Going to have to put that on my spreadsheet

x-posts hecate

The OP seems to me to be about bearing grudges after disagreeing with posters on certain threads. I think it is relevant to the question to say that the OP has a rather distinctive style of 'disagreeing' with people which, in my experience, tends to involve unwarranted and unprovoked personal attacks and an aggressive insistence that he is right and knows better than you.

So maybe that comes across as 'having a go' JaneFonda, but I wouldn't worry, the OP is more than capable of dishing worse stuff than anything on this thread.

she/he? what are you implying?

hehe hecate.

I don't like to make sweeping statements
