External references - insults

Post #1

Post by JohnA »

Can a user post an external link (or reference to a book) to insult another user?
Is this tactic allowed?
Why would this not result in a Warning against the user that employs this tactic, especially when this user keeps on doing it?

Hi JohnA , It is the prophet Job, about whom it was said.



If the Book of Job reaches across two and a half millennia to teach anything to men and women who consider themselves normal, decent human beings, it is this: Human beings are sure to wander in ignorance and to fall into error, and it is better — more righteous in the eyes of God — for them to react by questioning rather than accepting. Confronted with inexplicable injustice, it is better to be irate than resigned.

—William Safire, The First Dissident

Thanks. But I fail to see the relevance.

Can you explain this in your own words please?

I am an idiot, and have nothing to say as one user said.

http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 500#608500

Another user implied I am a comedian:
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 418#608418
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 462#608462

This user thinks I am someone different to whom I am:
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 559#608559
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 791#608791

This user uses back hand tactics to infuriate:
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 586#608586
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 691#608691

This one says I have faulty logic and can not communicate (I confuse):
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 347#608347
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 181#608181

This user says I am dishonest (but fails to back it up):
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 742#608742

This user says I am neurotic (and now claims he did not):
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 267#608267

This user says he wouldn't disparage my obsession by calling it neurotic (Because I am?):
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 325#608325
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 455#608455

There are more, but why bother. The assassination of my character are being executed by, it seems to me, the old school in this forum because I exposed faulty reasoning.

You assume that a concerted group care about you, which they do not.
You childishly announce your preciousness as if you are within a faculty of excellence.
You waste a lot of people's valuable time. You are the kid whinging on the bus.
Grow up, debate or shut up and give us all a break. Let the mods do what they do.

One thing tho, which I admit I am occasionally guilty of. I think referring to bible verses as 'Matt 23:19' or 'Ez 21:15' is a pain, because it means having to look it up for 99% of people. I think the actual words should always be included, or for a long passage, the reference should be hyperlink to, say, biblegateway.com

And your Macbeth line reference is obviously excused from this, right? Or is it me that is excused from it?

Seems to me that assisigirl at least lived up to the Red bit of her post.
And the MPG donation is evidence, thanks DI.

What I do not get is how assisigirl could insult me before her faulty reasoning was exposed. At least the others insulted me after their faulty reasoning and biased were exposed. Which can be seen as a way of protecting themselves. Perhaps assisigirl's biblical orientation has something to do with this incoherence.

You are taking things far too seriously. Chill out, bro.

Keith,
Proving a line of a play to insult me, inferring that I'm idiot that has nothing to say is not something that I will skim over. Especially when mods are giving me unnecessary warnings/comments due to a clear personal prejudice; admitting that I am being targeted, ignoring other people breaking the rules and trolling me, ignoring my request for assistance.

This a known tactic of yours. You have done this a few times now to me. Why should this be allowed? Why should I get penalized with a personal attack when I refer to a 3rd fictitious person, but you can use this tactic and get away with it?

I am being targeted and being trolled. Mods are not helping me. All I can do is voice this in the open. When I did this before (posted an insulting pm/e-mail that user Danmark sent me), I ended up getting a warning for that.

How is that fair?

How is your back hand tactical insults fair?
How is Danmark's backhand insults fair?

How can users like Danmark troll me and get away with it?
How can Danmark make repeated unsupported illogical claims, and insult me directly and I get penalized indirectly for it?
Nickman insulted me, called me neurotic, but his post was approved by a mod. Is that fair?
NENB (no evidence no belief) insulted me ass well, but his post was approved by a mod. Is that fair?


Something is wrong here. And all I can do is bring out these facts and let people explain it to me.

Your answer of talking it too seriously is not a good one, because there are penalties being issues to me which will result in me being banned. The irony is that there is nothing that I can do to stop my posts from being target and me receiving unfair treatment, NOTHING. I have to resort to this now and open up and call out these, I have no choice. My guess is that this would not help me either, given your water of the ducks back response of "it is JohnA's fault - he takes it too serious". I find that disgusting, to be honest here. And it says more about you than it does about me.
Nickman called you neurotic? Please show me where.

What I said was that you "seem" to have a neurotic obsession with Danmark. I don't see how this is an insult. It is an observation based on your constant reference to Danmark when replying to other people. It is the same a me debating your post and then going off on a rant about Danmark. It is rather peculiar behavior.

That is not what you said. You said:
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 267#608267
Man, you have a neurotic obsession with Danmark
Firstly, you denied saying it.
Now you deny your own words.

How is that acceptable?

Danmark did troll me. He insulted me, back hand tactics. I asked the mods for help, but they did not. All I had left to do is open it up and tell people on this forum what is happening. And that is also why this thread is open. And people have the nerve to keep on insulting me. And I do see your denial and wasted attempt to justify your insult as fruitless.
You insulted me. You were lucky not to get a mod comment or warming for that.

Danmark attempted to apologize. But he broke the Trust that I provided unconditionally. And now he has to EARN is back. He is not doing a good job at that at all. I can not trust anything he says.
And you broke the Trust as well. And you deny it. That is worse than Danmark.
