Wordforge Hasn't Turned Into A Far-Left Board

Yes, I'm sure the searing political savagery of CaptainWacky wounded you mortally.

You answered a tap with a carpet bombing. And you loved doing it. You still refuse to get it.

You're damned right I did, and you know that about me, and have known that about me for years. I don't know why you seem so surprised to discover what you've known for this long.

Throw a turd, I drop a shit truck. This is not news.

Do you also often show up uninvited to parties in real life, just to scream in people's ears?

 

[The Question]

Apples to oranges. I've been at this party for years, and I didn't say political boo in the MF 'til somebody else did. If you aim a kick at a random crotch, it's not exactly plain dealing to yell when somebody gives you a retaliatory boot right back, is it.

If you don't want it, don't deal it. That's easy enough, is it not?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I heard you the first three times. It still doesn't mean it's gonna go down the way you want it to.

So, congrats I guess, on still not being banned after all this time. Or something. Woo hoo.

 

[The Question]

I heard you the first three times.

I really don't think you did, or you'd have, by now, said something along the lines of, "Okay. Yep. I get it. Shots were fired, we should have expected return fire. I get it."

Doesn't look to me like you get it.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I'm going to bed.

I hate to admit it, but I do spend at least a minute or two there at least once a day. Mostly it's because I have a kind of blog/diary in their Blue Room, and to see just how koo-koo it's gotten.

But here's the interesting thing (at least to me): I've been looking at the posts from my perspective. And from my perspective they are barking batshit insane. But I've also been reading Scott Adams writing on perception filters and cognitive dissonance and for some reason I was able to look at one post while putting myself into the shoes of the typical present Wordforgian. And if you deeply believe 1 or 2 of the fundamental things that they believe, the things they post there are the only rational way to explain the world around them that doesn't mean that they're crazy, stupid, or at the very least wrong. If you look at it from the starting point that Trump is bad or socialism is good or guns are evil or some combination of the 3, it makes perfect sense to say the things they say there. In fact that's the only way things make sense.

The interesting thing will be to see how long they can keep building this house of cards. But probably indefinitely. After all, I'm told there are people who believe in a hollow earth, filled with lizard people. And probably a flat, hollow earth to boot. There are people who believe humans cause the climate on this planet. Heck, I guess we caused the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on them. Although it seems like they were pretty wrong about the poor drowning polar bears over a decade ago.

Furthermore, this is why efforts to get GTurner unbanned were pointless. Because his posts were irrefutable and attacked the reality that they've constructed to shelter themselves there, he literally posed an existential threat to the posters that are there now. From their perspective they were absolutely correct to ban him and any attempts to reason about the ban were futile.

Yep. "If you can't beat 'em, delete 'em."

I'm still farting out some Burger King I had for lunch on Friday.

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

The gift that keeps on giving, kind of like Wordforge LOL.

 

[The Question]

I dunno if I'd equate them to BK. More like Taco Bell. That first growler speaks up, you laugh uproariously... until the smell hits.

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

BONC!

 

[Volpone]

I wish White Castle would unfuck their drive-thru window. Seriously. They're slower than McDonalds. Well maybe not slower. But as slow. And I feel like I shouldn't have to wait for hamburgers of White Castle quality. It should be like an Indy 500 pit stop. You should be fishing those evil little sliders out of their nested boxes as you peel out onto the street in under 12 seconds.

It's not easy enough for Anc. He likes to dish it out but can't take it, I guess.

 

[The Question]

That wasn't me, shit-hats.

 

[Anna]

Sure, Jan

 

[The Question]

Yeah, you all just keep banning every new poster who shows up, then turn around and bitch about declining traffic. Because nothing is the fault of you fragile-ego having fuckbats.

You know, there's a word for people with fragile egos and limited intellectual development who take responsibility for absolutely nothing:

Children is that word. Communists is another one, but that's probably beyond your intellectual reach.

I wonder why you care so much, sometimes. Here's what will happen, it will turn into yet another echo chamber and die off once they realize they have nothing else to say to one another, much like every other online experiment ever. I mean, the people in charge there don't seem to care one way or another about that. Neither does this place. Neither does TBBS. It always happens that way.
