I Am Worthless

@Arorin I was trying to defend myself against stones. @SW-User was throwing them, and then other people stoned me for responding. Therefore, I must deserve it.

@LordShadowfire I've seen you go to other people post and attack them for religion, personal beliefs, or whatever else. If you are going to be that way you should get some thicker skin.

@Arorin that's true.

But for objectivity , he's had many go to his posts and attack him.

Its just, he's new ,and has less supporters .

No one is an angel here, we all fuck up at some point.

And considering some of the trolly posts favoured users make ....its hard for a newbie to get clear footing here .

@Arorin If you are referring to my posts about Christianity, I try to shine a light on its flaws. People take that personally. Politically? Mud gets slung both ways, and quite a bit of it hits me.

@BoobooSnafu Thank you. I can't help but feel I must seem horrible.

@BoobooSnafu kicked out of my house when I was 7, grew up around abusive alcoholics my whole life, am a combat vet, worked a farm since I was little. If we are going to talk about what is hard let's actually talk about what is hard.

Two wrongs don't make a right. This dude has came to me in comments trying to provoke me. I was very tame in my replies to his provokes. If you are going to be that way get ready for someone to fire back it is cause and effect that is all we are talking about here.

Others coming to his post to pick a fight is unrelated to that. Can block and move on, can ignore, can kill with kindness, etc... The most common thing I reply on is pointing out the flaws in a bad argument and throwing a pitty party after being the center and causing drama is a pretty hypocritical thing to do. At least grow some thick skin and own the drama you create.

@Arorin I don't remember trying to provoke you. Nor do I usually (at least by intent) set out simply to provoke. A lot of Christians think that's what I'm trying to do, and so do a lot of conservatives.
(Although I admit to deliberately fucking with Sunsporter...)

@LordShadowfire a person strong in their faith shouldn't be phazed by you. Looking back on thousands of years of society people have fought wars over religion. Killed others over religion it should be common sense the reaction you would get by approaching someone you have no repor with talking about the flaws you see in either them or their faith.

How people react to this sort of thing isn't some grand mystery its a very common reaction. As I said two wrongs don't make a right and they should be secure, but we know they aren't, and we know what happens when poking the hornets nest, so you have to have some shred of accountability.

@Arorin I approach people who would preach Christianity as I do for that reason. "Do not suffer a witch to live." Which means in the past, I would have been stoned or hanged for even existing. So let's talk accountability.

@LordShadowfire Then maybe you are lacking a certain skill set in social skills. Many people have some social awkwardness to them that can get people upset.

@Arorin yes, I agree ones.slon has to be thick here.

I also know that some forget to use their emojis and show they're not being serious.

I can't comment on what he said to you as i didn't see it .

All I'm saying is....he's come from Yahoo, it was a different playground.

There trolling nature is pretty intense.


But fair comment , I just think that everyone deserves a chance, but also everyone deserves to speak their mind as you have done .

In a place like this , its maybe a bit quick to judge a total person on one post .

I've had days where I've seen myself be all negative.

And yes , real life is way harder....remembering that really does put perspective on the value of this place .

@MarmeeMarch I'll show you a weiner...


Wait, I'd better not. Might get deleted.

@Arorin Yeah. Ya got me. Never been able to not engage people who talk trash.

@LordShadowfire now that's the spirit🤣

@LordShadowfire well, if that's the case , just be careful how you trash .

At some point things only become enflamed .

The art is to perhaps keep the heat going , without creating a bonfire 🤷‍♀️

@BoobooSnafu not saying he doesn't deserve a chance. I am saying how you initially approach people usually is going to determine the reaction you get from them. Either he has a set of social skills that understands that or he doesn't. If the goal is truly to just be expressive and build a repor then some tact has to be made.

Like "hey buddy you tattoos look like shit vs not really my style but cool you like them."

@Arorin I can't deny that is true .

But you must admit , online life is bizarre sometimes.

There are people who manage to be accepted for their often abrupt expression.

I'm not saying he's right at all , and I partially agree with you.

I think he just needs time to find his feet .

Its conversations like this that help.

Maybe this will help guide him to a better middle ground.

@BoobooSnafu yeah maybe so but the pitty party is a bad look and I can't think of how to say that with more tact. No matter who a person is in life we have to have our own aspiration. No one defines us.

@Arorin You're right. But I keep doing it, and I don't know why.

@Arorin That is true.

We define ourselves.


And we all can have moments of weakness.

Maybe this was just one of those moments 🤷‍♀️

@BoobooSnafu guess it all comes down to how you define a moment of weakness. For me a moment of weakness is getting stressed and consuming one of my favorite coffee drinks that I limit because it's high calorie. I do understand not everyone is as strong as I am, but that is why I tried to bring some tact to this and not completely shit on the guy like many would.
