It's because here downvotes don't push you to the bottom of the stack, and that needs to change. At least on Reddit you could bury the trolls.
Nah, don't hide the trash, let them be a public example and berate and shame them. Ban them if they get too rowdy. Society breeds civility through cowardice, stop being afraid to tell these people what you think, don't be offended; offence is taken not given, be offensive, berate their stupidity and ignorance, insult their lack of cognizance and competence, flex your belligerence in the face of theirs, call them on their bullshit and be fucking relentless.
Be a dick to an asshole; save a pussy.
Bruh I'm just trying to scroll through interesting posts and interact with people worth having a discussion with. If you get off putting people in their place all day then feel free to sort by lowest score or whatever mechanism eventually appears.
If you want to change someone's mind you aren't going to do it by putting them on the spot and belittling them for it. That just backs a person into the corner and makes them double down. The whole "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat" is perfect example of this.
If you want to make them change their ways then just ignore their desperate pleas for attention. Kids don't earn the right to sit at the grown up table by acting like kids, but eventually they mature and learn nuance and that earns them a seat.
I can't help it if you want to contribute willingly to conversations you don't want to be a part of, sounds fucking stupid to me,which we've already determined multiple times you are, and continue to prove by not being able to check your ego long enough to dissuade yourself from continuing to reply. I don't mind if it takes you a long time to learn a lesson, no skin off my nose to educate a belligerent, I was born for this.
If you think using big words and calling people childish names is making a coherent argument then there's really nothing to be done here...
I didn't say I didn't want to contribute willingly, I said I didn't want to spend my time engaging trolls and unsavory individuals. I'd rather they fade into obscurity and get on about my day.
Go ahead and reread it if you need proof, it's all up there.
Actions speak louder than words, if you don't want to spend your time engaging with trolls and unsavoury people, do what needs to be done to remove yourself from said conversations and fuck off. But you don't, you're a cuck begging to see more of your ego getting fucked by a stranger.
By your guidance I just took action, we'll see what comes of it.
Yeah, you came back like the unrelenting masochist begging for a slap. Let me guess, report my messages? Pathetic, you engaged willingly and couldn't put your ego in it's place long enough to walk away, and in response you result to actively trying to attack and harm me by inconveniencing me with a potential ban. You really are a weak minded pathetic example of a human.
I was right, someone should slap your father for not having the decency to wipe you on the curtains.
