At a point all the folks complaining about dog-piling, witch hunts, and chilling effects clearly have an agenda.
The agenda being, remove the toxicity that has been previously allowed and encouraged on NeoGAF. You know, the dissent squashing you like when it serves you and your interests.
We have numerous accounts of the chilling effect on this forum. You yourself admit to, and fear, a silent but now vocal group of people with opposing viewpoints to your own. But you are unable to explain just why these people have been silent all this time if there was no pressure to be silent, no chilling effect, no witch hunts. You pretend at knowing the inner reasoning, motivations, and purpose for literally EVERYONE you disagree with, but then deny them their own assertions, declare them to be false and agenda driven, all while stating that we never listen to YOU.
Delusional.
See, y'all say we never listen to reason but y'all never listen to us. Y'all except us just to listen to guys and accept your word. Every ban story brought up has been refuted. Y'all can't fool us.
I like how your folksy "y'alls" seemingly come out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly.
For you, literally everyone who is complaining is a LIAR who never was banned for the reasons they state, but was banned because they must have spouted HATE/BIGOTRY/RACISM. Anyone claiming a chilling effect or witch hunts existed is a LIAR with an agenda, an agenda that you can't specify or show proof for in any way, but supposedly it exists nonetheless. And this ultimately is hate/bigotry/racism based. You claim that no one ever falsely makes accusations about racism for ANYONE, but also that racism is actually one of the "real" reasons behind everyone that you disagree with. "y'all" just won't admit to it. But oh my gosh why haven't you listened to me. *cry* *cry* YOU ARE HATE FILLED LIARS WHO SPOUT LIES AND THEN CLAIM NOT TO HAVE SPOUTED LIES BUT WHY WON'T YOU JUST LISTEN AND AGREE TO MY "YOU ARE ALL LIARS" PREMISE?!?
Delusional.
Like, at this point who are you trying to convince? I've been on GAF long enough to post 9k+ times and participated many different types of threads to know a lot of what you guys are saying is BS.
Wow. Join Date: 12-01-2014. That makes you an old timer, or something. And 9k+?! It's like an epic saga! A whole 3+ years, 9,126 posts!! And you gained the wisdom and forum proficiency to
call everyone who disagrees with you about toxicity on NeoGAF and a chilling effect/witch hunts nothing more than liars with an agenda trying to hide the real supposed hate/racism/bigotry based reasons for their reactions
.
Delusional.
Like, why can't a lot of you actually accept you said some hateful stuff and were banned / hated by members of the community for it? Grow up and accept your issues or else you won't have the respect of the people who you truly admire and chase after.
Wow. Literally wow. Why don't we all just accept your proposal that we are nothing more than liars who spouted "hateful stuff and were banned / hated by members of the community for it"? Because we DIDN'T. Where is your proof for any of your claims? My god you actually asked this question seriously.
Delusional.
There's a reason y'all came out of the woodwork recently: the people who held you accountable left. You feel emboldened now because everyone who you despised left now you can convince whoever is left to believe you were oppressed. Those who you are trying to convince don't buy it.
We came out of the woodwork because the owner of your beloved progressive circle jerk of an echo chamber got his comeuppance after shoving his support for Social Justice and Identity Politics motivated standards down the throats of users here, and then was outed for violating those very standards. A level of hypocrisy that you should appreciate, as big of a hypocrite as you seem to be.
People like the ability to pursue their hobbies without constant preaching or having total wastes of humanity, like yourself, throwing accusations of racism/bigotry/hate/misogyny/xenophobia/homophobia/transphobia/ableism/patriarchy, or whatever other label you want to use to denigrate and dismiss people and ideas you dislike. People dislike hate motivated hypocrites, like yourself, that pretend at holier-than-thou tolerance and diversity of opinions, while being decidedly intolerant and being motivated by hate towards anyone and any idea you don't agree with or like personally. You aren't even clever about it, just thuggish and fascistic in tone and action.
I have no illusions. I fully expect that Malka will survive this, or find a way to profit from a sale. And he or your new benevolent only to progressives dictatorship will add me to a ban list and find a reason to enact it later when they can come up with an excuse. My coming out of the woodwork is a final defiance after a long period of silence which I chose because of the decidedly chilling effect I myself experienced more and more over the recent years.
But you don't even make an allowance for that, you are so decidedly arrogant in your own progressive ignorance. That someone could FEEL something that you don't make an allowance for. That the forum could have toxicity that created a chilling effect, FOR SOMEONE ELSE. Like I said before, you are a waste of a conversation. You learn nothing, you see nothing, you hear nothing. Nothing but the sound of your own slack jawed mouth breathing. What person with any sense of decency could even take pleasure in the sad state that you will continue to exist in? You refuse to make the most basic of allowances for anyone who disagrees with you to be anything more than a hate filled liar with an agenda. What a sad twisted embittered existence you relegate yourself to.
Grow up and gain some basic human decency, you arrogant wretch.
