I think it’s probably likely your perception of what you were trying to accomplish is quite different than how it ended up being received.

More directly, thinking you're not doing it for attention when in its essence that's basically exactly what it is

No need to get mean about it, I was just sharing a fun memory we all shared. It’s not like I used a gif you made without your express permission or anything like that.

It’s catty AF in this thread.

I use the ignore feature as a reminder to which posters have made my dislike list. Often times I still view post to see what crazy stuff is said this time, but I can’t mental remember them all.

That's how I felt at the time.

oh shi....there is a game on

CP's gotten a but too personal. Maybe we've all been here too long.

Let's get back to why we're all really here, to bash the Flames.

One of the best things about CP is that there are so many varying viewpoints.

I feel the same...those triggered by Yohos posts have very little faith in their fellow posters.

Everyone is smart here I doubt I'd even know who Yoho was if he didn't get so much attention. There's actually a genius to the trolling.

[OptimalTates]

Yoho, trolls, bots, I don’t care about none of that but i still can’t believe CP and it’s mods just let these Alanis Morissettes continue to get away with this:

Maybe if this was a forum dedicated to free speech. Otherwise almost the entirety of the history of censorship is about censoring something you disagree with. There’s no irony there.

My only issue with him is that he is besmeaching the name of one of the most gorgeous parks on the planet

Can't these trolls just pick a white trash username instead of dragging sweet nature into it?

Monsters.

JAG, shot in the Backlund, Yoho types are those posters that only spit gasoline while chronically lacking self awareness or accountability, or sense in general. They're deaf, blind and numb to it. They're like worms or maggots that will squeeze around you and burrow elsewhere. Like water, or sand that can't be grasped within your clenching fist.

They can be banned but will replicate in numbers. They can't be reasoned or bargained with. But if you simply ignore them or tune them out, they will shrivel up into a little ugly baby pennywises and their eyes will glaze over for a while

This is how we subdue these types. They feed off of the spotlight. Just don't give it to them, and then you just have the odd unsavory post once in while, rather than pages of them and the endless push back exchanges

People with unsavory views/opinions will always exist and share internet spaces with us. Cancelling them doesnt work on this medium and even if we could, it would make us weak. It would mean our resistance to differing/fringe opinions, however misled, is frail. We just have to thicken our hides and learn to deal with their existences effectively in order to minimize them.

A thread dedication is pretty well the opposite of how we ought to deal with them.

Some pretty strong repulsive language towards me and others, referring to me as a maggot. little ugly baby, Well done.

I share my opinion, provide support for my opinions, and converse with those against it in a polite and reasoned manner. Unsavoury opinions? Oh right, you mean opinions you disagree with. There is a lot to unpack about this malicious post. I would enjoy hearing your point of view on those topics I spit gasoline on, However, I really dont care either.

Can someone explain why CP has become so mean spirited? What happened?

We're all getting old and crotchety.

Seriously - the majority of regular users today have been on the site for 5-20yrs, with very little new/young registrations.

Kids today just don’t hang out on message boards. We used to be a real country.
