That's a personal clash Redway.

Happy to be annoying in just the right way then Redway. :shrug:

It's not an assumption - it's what you said. I understand why you might want to walk it back though; so...

If that's not what you were saying, what were you saying when you commented on;

- Not liking the style of my posts
- Thinking my posts are "too formal"
- Too academic
- Argue both sides too often
- Like a courtroom
- Thinking my posts "don't take a clear stance"
- Hoping I "learn that it doesn't have to be that way"
- Pointing out that "you manage to do it"
- (there was more but that's plenty)


If you weren't suggesting that 1) there's something wrong with it and also that 2) your way of doing things is inherently better...

...

What were you doing/saying?

I'm happy to wait for a decent answer; one that does in fact answer, and isn't just "Not that / no I wasn't!"

Until you can find a direct quote of me saying “I wish QB would post exactly like me and isn’t entitled to his own posting style, no-matter how much it irritates me”, you’re chatting air. Total air. This whole thread is a perfect example of you being annoying in the way I’m talking about and I keep saying it. But you do you. Let’s just leave it there.

Kids (the hyperactive, noisy ones) eating in pubs irritates me, likewise, but I’m not saying it’s right or wrong inherently. Waiting in long queues is annoying but it’s just part of life and the right thing to do. Polarising my opinion in terms of “Redway thinks this is either right or wrong” is just another example of what I’m talking about. An opinion can’t just be an opinion to you. There’s always gotta be a for-or-against, a question of absolute truth or “right” or not. That was not what I was saying. You can know the value or necessity of something or someone and still find it/them annoying personally. Do you know that?

Sounds like a plan :joker: we both know what you were doing, I doubt anyone else cares.

You've already mentioned feeling gaslit. Consider too up until this point, through your own posts it's like reading through a detailed manual for all other "interested" parties as to how to best find and press your buttons. This is how effective trolling works and some people have mastered it because they have more time than others, so it's not a simple skill. It's a massive energy investment. I have QB on ignore. I really recommend this.

Note: It's actually because I called out the blinkered Trump support but OK. I've quoted or referenced you a grand total of 28 times (easily searchable) and the only negative thing I've said to you, ever, has been about the Trump support. But if you have an example of this personal trolling, by all means share.

Note 2: Redway started this entire discussion in a now-deleted thread, completely unprompted, decided to tell me that he finds my posts irritating. Not my posts about or directed at him I hasten to add - just my random posts on the thread topics. He doesn't like 'em. It's all very sad for him? But apparently I'm so good at this that I can magic up other people starting beef out of thin air. That is quite impressive.

He’s just said he has you on ignore, fam. Not sure he’s reading.

Correcting slanderous disinformation isnt for the benefit of the person who posted it. That much should be fairly obvious.

Also she can see it now that you've quoted it because the vbulletin ignore function is trash.

With respect, you're a mod. Anyone making your time on here a misery is going to get banned. The rest of us have the useless ignore button.

... ... ... ... ... I'm fairly confident in saying if "making mods time on TiBB a misery" lead to being banned, there'd only be 3 or 4 members left :umm2:.

There'd be Ammi, Joey... umm... Benjamin? He seems quite unproblematic. I'm struggling now.

Livia 31-03-2025 11:29 AM

See? The ignore button is a waste of time when a person knows he's on ignore but has made it clear he will not stop quoting my posts, on the contrary, he will make it a mission even when I'm not talking to him.

user104658 31-03-2025 12:05 PM

I mean I feel like I've said in the past and still stand by, it's an ignore button, not a "you have to ignore me" button, it feels especially inappropriate to suggest that the thread starter should disregard people's posts on the thread they started :think: but if the intent is for it to be used for crafting echo chambres, I'm sure there's a vBulletin plug in that can do that.

As it goes;

I'd even be happy to stick with "pls don't talk to or reply to me" requests outside of SD's. The idea that anyone can pick-n-choose who can and cant reply to their comments in the debates section is ludicrous stuff. You can of course choose whose posts you read and choose to interact with, as the current function allows.

I tend not to use ignore either as it happens because I too am nosy and just end up clicking the "see post" button anyway. I'm more inclined to just rudely skip over or skim-read posts that I'm not interested in.

Livia 31-03-2025 12:12 PM

Irritant.

I would think that's a good trait to have as a moderator since you have to read most everything anyway.

I'm sorry if that's a disappointment for you :laugh: But I thought you of all people would've known, for some reason?... I've even posted about childbirth, I think. :laugh:

Nothing is homoerotic about childbirth,... much less anything-erotic.
