Thinking about quitting

Post Reply New Topic

I think i m going here. 95 % of the replies to my posts are negative or insulting or disgusting.
Quatermass, a mod, wrote a text on this site to me: words fail me ......

Its the same everywhere. The bulk of Humans are disgusting.

We all have to learn with it. Or from it.
Do with the 5% left to your heart Plotinus.

So they are. Our problem is to make a nice quiet part of the world a good place for us to live in.

We cannot solve the problems of the world. All we can do is try to keep our own heads above water.

you are wrong.
people have been to you, as theyve been to everyone else.
theyve dissaggreed with you, and you take it as an insult and report them to the mods.
you're being pretentious, people tell you, and you report them to the mods.

if anyones being annoying here, its you. go on report this to the mods as well.

ALL you have to do, is ALLOW people to have their own opinion, without regarding it as a personal insult. you got issues.

And the documented evidence is . . . . ?

Which is why he came here in the first place. Can't you just say "I'm sorry if I made you feel bad" to each other, and take it from there?

Plotinus:
If you already have decided to leave, then I would like to wish you good luck with the future.

this is not his first "confrontation" with this idea. there is another thread, that i know of, where he accuses everyone of conspiring against him. people also try to reach through to him in the debate threads where he proclaims his superiority to everyone, and then claims to be insulted.
he has some sort of royalty complex, and now hes done _this_ demonstrative thread, where he keeps blaming everyone for insulting him.

we ALL have "issues" in THAT sense, and none of us are being idiots about it. hes been told that nobody intends to insult, yet he keeps reporting every post he doesnt enjoy to the mods AND telling people about it come on...

plotinus: you need to chill.

I'm with zena on this one Plotinus. Stay for the 5%, which is probably more like 50+ %. .. Look at it this way...

First of all, barring extremely unusual circumstances, you will never be able to delete your account....just like the rest of WP members have not deleted their accounts. There are 30,000 WP members (almost). Of those 30,000 members, most of them don't post a whole lot.

The people you have had trouble with, many of them are the high post count people. And while they may have the lion's share of the posts, they DO NOT represent the majority of WP members. They probably represent far less than 50%. They speak the most and the loudest---but they don't speak for everyone. Far from it.

On the basis of this argument, you are being urged to stay. Your perspective is needed and welcome, as are all the divergent perspectives presented on WP. Just one word of advice: Play by the rules and realize that it is counterproductive to antagonize the mods.

He might be bipolar and/or schizophrenic. I wouldn't blaim anyone. If what you say is true, I can imagine some of his problems, and I can see why people (in here too) are mad at him. I still wish him good luck though.

That's true.. it's still frustrating for the rest of us, though.. Several people have made a quite an effort to be understanding and try to figure out what's going on with him and if there's a way to work through it, and he responds with insults. It may very well not be his fault, but when he insists that anybody who disagrees with him is insulting him, and and then dives right into heated debates in PPR, you also can't fault anybody who gets angry with him. Plotinus has been seeming to sling insults at everybody here, and then whenever someone tries to politely disagree with him, he says that he is being insulting. Several of us have put a lot of effort into trying to find out why he's doing this, but that "insults" him too. Everyone here has trouble understanding where others are coming from, but when someone refuses to consider the possibility that any of the error at all could be on their own part, how do we deal with that? And how do we tell the difference between someone who comes here harboring anger because they've been rejected elsewhere and someone who comes here wanting to just be mean?
Personally, when I have aggression issues about a topic, I try to put disclaimers into anything I say about it.. Like just tell people straight out that I'm angry about an issue and not at them, so they at least know that it's not them that I'm angry at.
I also tend to avoid the PPR forum because it does get too heated for me, and usually I can't really take it. I don't really understand why somebody who doesn't want to be contradicted would go to those discussions, because everybody is criticized there. I keep trying to ask these questions and find out why, but then he says that I'm just being mean to him. I don't think it's mean to try to understand why somebody is doing what they're doing. I do think it's mean for someone to get nasty when somebody tries to understand them.
Having issues and hurting doesn't give somebody the right to treat others like crap.
Sometimes aspies do it accidentally, but most are willing to apologize when they find out that somebody has been offended by something that they said... that's something that we encounter here a lot.
In my time at WP so far, I've learned that somebody who caused offense accidentally almost always wants to know a) that what they said was offensive and b) why it was considered offensive.
If they don't.. what do you do?

I think the special kid might be bipolar and maggiedoll might be schizophrenic.

What specialkid just said with that was "Don't blame him too hard, it might not be his intention to sound rude."

3, 2, 1, your a troll.

Hey I tried being nice and supportive of you Plotinus that is up until you affronted me with a rude comment.

The bulk is on you man.

You mean like this?


Sometimes this kind of thing comes from deep seated feelings of insecurity valueless-ness.
I wonder . . .

Thank you.

I see the problem now.
How can he call me bipolar, just from what I wrote there.

(Just for the record, I'm not)
