This is not even DF but Zooville suggestions etc. I also wonder why this has not already been moved to DF.

Doesn't just moving a thread to the dumpster fire every time a group of users continuously haze someone, just encourage them to take down any thread(s) they collectively don't like, without any repercussions? Then they're free to continue in a gloves off environment whether or not the OP is wanting to?

Now you’re just being mean.
I’ve not been mean to you. I’ve been direct, I’ve been blunt, but I never directly insulted you or your existence

lol, that's the same, "poke the bear" or "I'm not touching you" aka antagonization/blame-shifting method(s) so many use until the target/victim, understandably, becomes angry, frustrated, and/or emotional in response to his mistreatment. Then use the target/victim's reaction as "proof" that the victim is the abusive one, turning the situation around to portray themselves as the victim.

He's guilty of defending himself plain and simple. Because we all know here if the consensus is your guilty well then that means you're guilty right. We had people in here trying to say he was a ban evader based on absolutely nothing.
And y'all do this kind of stuff for fun. Everybody wants to be the sarcastic King of the internet. Can you have a place to do that you have an outlet called the dumpster fire. That's where you go to be a douche. Hurling baseless accusations around on the open forum is annoying but also Troublesome because then it invites more of that type of behavior. Humans are creatures of habit and you're inviting more b******* by perpetuating this nonsense. Two wrongs don't make a right guys he was wrong but you are also wrong.

I Agree with @Sumpup on this one.
 
It is curious how people look for a new episode of that... hum... do you like cheap reality shows ? I think they they can be more degrading than bad vanilla porn.
 
So silent here now. What is wrong? Nothing?
Edit button and Caps lock works again?
No argumentation for unbanning of a nameless underageposterfriend?
No page 9 yet?
 
The sarcasm was not noticed according to these.

In every second thread, trans people whine about why the topic is moved to DF. Then they say the magical truth: the moderators are transphobic.

Fact you need to pick up on: Sarcasm in a forum post *RARELY* gets noticed these days unless it's laid on so thick that not even the dumbest moron can possibly miss it, even after having had his eyes gouged out with a rusty spoon, or it's explicitly tagged as being sarcasm. And even when it's laid on real thick, it can (and in MANY cases DOES) get missed due to the concept of "So many people online means that there are a shitload of them who *ARE NOT BEING EVEN A LITTLE BIT SARCASTIC* when they say something as incredibly over-the-top as "Let's go round up every lesbian we can get our hands on, run them through a wood-chipper feet-first, and use what comes out the other end to repave Highway 29".

Put another way, it's become an accepted fact that the online population has reached the point where it's a given that if you look around, it won't take long before you find some fruitcake who *ACTUALLY THINKS THE EXAMPLE SCENARIO GIVEN ABOVE IS PERFECTLY VALID AND HONESTLY WANTS THE PROJECT TO START FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING*.

In other words, the line between "This guy's just being sarcastic - NOBODY is actually *THAT* insane!" and "Holy shit! This raving nutcase is *COMPLETELY SERIOUS* - QUICK! CALL THE COPS!!!" has become so blurred that unless there's a clear indication that something is sarcasm, it's very likely going to be accepted at face value until further clarification is found. ESPECIALLY when it's delivered dead-pan in a thread that's mostly (if not entirely) serious.

It's a variation on the whole "The Sky is Falling!" or "OMG, there's a wolf!" concept - we've gotten so accustomed to the nutcases who are completely serious when they say "Tomorrow, I'm gonna shoot the president" that trying to sort the sarcastic from the serious has become nearly impossible without a "warning label".
