Sometimes people think they can bully you. With their words, with their friends, with their opinions.
I won’t stand for it. You accuse me of attacking you, but you are the one following me from thread to thread, interjecting yourself into discussions that you had no part in. You are the one initiating posts to me. When I referenced you in another post the other day, only as BP, you accused me of being a troll. Well what you are doing is 10x more direct, and I consider it, within my standard and apparently your own, trollish behaviour.
The reason why I continue to reply, is to leave no doubt in my or anyone else’s mind, including your own, what I think of you, and how I have no wish to debate with you. In the absence of an “ignore” function on this forum, I feel compelled to at least point out what is obvious trolling.
Now if you want to stop being “attacked” then stop following me around the board. If you want to keep crying and playing the victim, when you are the one initiating the conflict, then carry on. The other day when Jon recommended we take it to PM, the difference in our responses was telling. I apologized and was ready to move on, you still want to cry about how you have been wronged. I’m not interested in your self-immolation or attention seeking over my posts. I’m also not interested in your posts or opinion.
I’ve changed your troll game (just as I did to the Knight, and Nicky), and I define the victory conditions now. Step off. There are lots of other people here who will be incredibly impressed by your tactics, ability to debate and the depth of your knowledge. But I am not one of them.
@Juan - Send me a message if you want to continue our discussion later. I’m unsubscribing from this thread.
Interjecting one’s honest opinion in response to what one honestly disagrees with is not trolling. I hardly see how it is “bullying” to gasp engage in formal argumentation. I don’t go out of my way to follow you around the board - you just happen to make statements I disagree with more than most people here (and have consistantly stood in support behind the board’s true resident troll, maxliberty, simply because it was me argueing with them), and I have no issues with expressing such disagreements. Anyone with half their wits can look through the thread to clearly see that I’m not in the wrong here (I most certainly am not trolling, as trolling would require intellectual dishonesty) and that you’re either blatantly obfuscating or lack a full understanding of certain basic libertarian concepts. So good day to you then if you’re going to be like this.
BP… It’s better to use the term ‘aggression’ which inherently means initiatory force. ‘Coercion’ is a broader, more vague word that not only includes defensive and initiatory force but is also often used to refer to non-force forms of social oppression or pressure.
Aggression and political liberty ARE antithetical. But one can still rightfully coercive criminals.
