what do they believe they are gaining by spending all their time here groaning mass posts?



what real effect do they believe they are creating?




exactly what punishment do they believe they are imparting on the posters they target?


its part of the reason I decided never to groan (or neg rep on some sites)



It just seems so completely meaningless

I will let the psychologists sort it out as to whether it stems from resentment, petty grievance, OCD, or other psychological afflictions.

I believe it should be considered a cry for help.

Instead of moaning and crying by themselves, they come here and cry and moan so others can see their pathetic lives.

Like, just the other day, ... I saw Dark Soul take Free 911 underwear, put it on his head, then run in circles screaming about Kavanaugh. It was sad. Maybe Dementia?

I was even working with him in discussion. I didn't call him obsessed once, and I stated the exact science of trees thriving off of CO2. I did like he asked, and he still groans. Apparently everything is just confirmation bias, since doing what he asks, but not agreeing with him is a big no no. https://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?103936-Rising-CO2-levels-are-re-GREENING-the-Earth-with-huge-gains-in-forest-coverage&p=2632764#post2632764 Next time I'll just say the trees are thriving off his hot air.

It might be a force of habit for him. I actually thought I was sort of agreeing with him, because it was a rare point worth discussing from him. He doesn't seem to want to discuss it like he said. He just wants to tout climate change as a hoax, and find people to agree with him. I was a little tiffed I even put the effort in. Next time I'll know better.

I had the same impression. I thought you two were on your way to a good conversation and then...Groan.

Well, I can't speak for him and Lord knows I've done my fair share of fucking with him but yeah...maybe he thought the fix was in. I thought you made a really good point about the trees.

Yeah, I don't get the groaning thing.

I guess there have been a couple of times I had the urge to groan a post, but then I always thought: Sheesh. It's so negative. What's the point? And do I really want to spoil a perfect record for that post? So I never did it.

I don't groan people - I just put 'em on Ignore. I don't do that lightly, but if I don't see a possible future of civil exchange with a poster they need to go on Ignore. The fact that I have this extra rule that Ignore is permanent causes me to make absolutely certain every time I have to do that.

I do get groaned. But it occurs to me that if I am saying controversial enough stuff, that is to be expected.

And I also see that a lot of the groans I get? They come from people I have placed on Ignore - as if that is all they are reduced to.

So I don't worry about how many groans I get. They can almost be treated as a badge of honor.

when you have nothing coherent to say, I suppose a groan helps you to feel better. I've never groaned at anyone. As I've said before, when I feel that exchanges between myself and another poster just turn in to boring 'you're another' slanging matches, I put them on 'Ignore', which causes, I think, quite a few of the groans I get. If it helps them, good! I genuinely don't notice nowadays.

Hello iolo,


Evince, I've always admired you for that: you have far more patience than I can aspire to.

I once considered it a source of pride to have nobody on Ignore. I participated in a chat room for over a decade like that until I began to wonder what that was really worth. After pondering the situation a bit, it occurred to me that the people who pooh pooh the Ignore feature the most are often the worst trolls. After that realization I never worried about it again.

I make sure I see their posts as an opportunity to impart humor and a perfect chance to REPEAT the actual facts


when one has the FACTS on their side they are happy to repeat those facts endlessly

If it helps them, good! I genuinely don't notice nowadays.

I consider it a matter of self-control and discipline to not groan any posters. For one thing, I make it a point to generally never read anyone I consider subpar, mediocre, dim witted, offensive, or just mind-numbingly boring. Furthermore, I cannot let anonymous posters who aren't my friends have the slightest chance of eliciting an emotional response from me.

At this point, groans, tepid insults, and impotent slurs and barbs directed at me from message board dupes have no effect on me. None whatsoever. I can't see how it would for any competent adult over the age of 18.
