When you finally get around to seeing a licensed psychiatrist about your depression, make sure you mention your paranoid tendencies, and the hallucinations.

It's different when he does it, in his mind.

I didn't see any of that happen (but we've established before my memory ain't that great) and this schtick has long gotten old.

Oh good.
Now we're to the point where people just make-up shit and claim I said it.
Here's some other things I said:
President Obama is actually a tree.
My cat won gold in Olympic basketball.
Vacuum cleaners miss the paper filters they used to require before that horrible cyclonic technology took them over.

I'm not taking that bet. I doubt you'd put up enough money to make it worth my while to fork Firefox and create one. :)

Then stop reading the thread where I type stuff if you don't want to fucking see it. Fuck off and leave me alone, we'd both be happier.

Whatever. It's not like facts ever matter when finding new reasons to hate me.

Good call.

@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:

I didn't say that. It doesn't add any value but it doesn't really hurt me. It makes you sound a little unhinged though.

Dude, this is the internet. You're posting stuff in public on the internet on a forum explicitly designed for people to discuss stuff. I assumed you did that so people could read your stuff and make comments, responses, comparisons and so on. By publishing your stuff here you are effectively inviting such commentary and in some cases I will accept your invitation.
Do you really not understand how these things work?
-
@another_sam said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:

Is it? I thought it was just here so people can tell me how wrong I am about everything. There's no "discussion" I see.
-
@ben_lubar He will, no doubt, claim that those are just words in a table, and he did not literally say you are the retard referred to by the word.
-
@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
"Blakeyrat you called me a retard!"
Only you would put the words "ben_lubar", "a", and "retard" together in that order and then claim you didn't mean "ben_lubar is a retard".
Well, maybe Donald Trump would, so that gives you something in common with him.
-
@HardwareGeek Except they are and I literally did not call Ben L a retard. You can see it right there in black and white.
I don't know how to respond to stuff like this. I'm being accused of doing something I didn't do, the "evidence" doesn't show me doing it, and yet everybody believes the accusation and nothing I say matters.
Look I know I'm a horrible terrible awful person, but if you're going to hate me, at least hate me for things I've actually done. Instead of making shit up.
-
@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:

If it helps, and I hated you--which I don't, and I'm sure you're glad to hear that--I wouldn't need to go looking for new reasons.
-
@another_sam said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:

He totally does, but remember, his goal's not necessarily a rational discussion. Sometimes he just wants to watch the world burn, and hey, if seeing that means he needs to splash a bunch of gasoline around, so be it.
-
@FrostCat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
Only you would put the words "ben_lubar",
NodeBB put that there, not me. I didn't type it. You know how this shitty forum works, you've used it as long as I have.
"name a retard" is not even a sentence. That's not calling name a retard, that's a string of nonsense gibberish. If I'd meant to call someone a retard, I would have actually called them a retard.
Of course why the fuck am I trying to defend myself? It's useless. Go ahead and believe it. Keep repeating it. Bring it up 6 months from now. Facts don't matter. It's a fact-free zone.

If only you had a functioning method of deleting it! Perhaps with a key that says "Delete" on it, or "Del", if that's how your keyboard's labeled.

I learned it from you.

Since the accusation is completely fact-free, it doesn't matter what I typed! I could have typed "my house is made of wood" and I'd be accused of calling him a retard! Why not! Everything I type is calling people retards! That last sentence undoubtedly just called the entire population of Spain retards! Why not!

That seems unlikely, but you keep trying to distract people from the fact that you started out with the insults.
@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
Or are you just being a stupid retarded moron right now?
Oh, I guess you were right--you didn't call ben a retard, you asked someone else if he was acting like one. Way to go with the kindergarten-level insults, btw. I bet your mom's proud of you.
-
@FrostCat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:

You've mastered the art of acting like Anjem Choudary, so congratulations, I guess.

Here's the facts as represented in the screenshot:
- @ben_lubar posted something. We can't tell what because the screenshot doesn't show the apparent post.
- @blakeyrat clicked the "reply" button without any selected text. By the hopefully well-known rules of the forum, this automatically puts in the username or the user you're replying to (along with a space) in the composer window.
- despite (probably) knowing about this, blakeyrat intentionally ignored this and started (presumably) typing away.
- blakeyrat consistently said he doesn't mention people unless he's talking to them, so by intentionally leaving the mention in the composer, it's obvious he was indeed talking to @ben_lubar .
- due to the satirical nature of the contents of the table, it is obvious the table content was meant to be read as a sentence, which, when combined with the mention, make a complete and syntactically correct sentence (yes, blakeyrat knows how to write).
- the interpretation of said sentence is clearly an insult, which (as a service to potential writers in the future) if it was not intended as such, should not have included the word "retard",or indeed any descriptive language at all, since it is not required to demonstrate formatting issues to fill the sample content with meaningful data.

You are sorely mistaken in both the purpose and end effect.
@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
There's no "discussion" I see.
Pointing out flaws in what you've said is a form of discussion. At this point I'm tempted to start calling you names, but that's less discussion and more flinging insults.

@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
It's more a "could we please stop installing really really shitty broken awful software on this forum" request.

Should have put money on it.

I literally did not call Ben L a retard.
Even if we grant that you did not literally call Ben a retard, given the context of the discussion and the arrangement of words in the post, you are literally the only person in the world who would not infer that the words "a retard" were directed at Ben.
@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
if you're going to hate me
I don't hate you. In fact, I even feel a certain affinity toward you as practically a next-door neighbor, at least compared to global scale of the internet. I find you entertaining, at least when you're not acting like an idiot — and I do think it's an act; you show intelligence and knowledge when you choose to — and sometimes even when you are.

@FrostCat That reminds me. Is there any documentation on Shoulder Aliens? I'd like to know if I guessed the correct interpretation of the term.

I agree with you. I got sick of having to wash and dry the foam and paper filters between the collection chamber and the pump on our shitty little cyclonic vac every time it forgot how to do its job, so I went and bought a shitty little canister vac that has old-school dust bags. Haven't had to clean a downstream filter in two years.

@HardwareGeek If you had to infer it, I didn't say it. I can't be held responsible for your brain putting your words in my mouth.

No you didn't, because the menu still shows up.
I guess you half-assed some buggy shit and are calling it a fix. But it's certainly not behaving correctly now.
You're welcome.

@aliceif said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:

I said something neutral and people are inferring (apparently) that I said something mean.
And now I'm being held responsible for text that I didn't even type.
Believe me, if I had meant to call Ben L a retard, I would have called him a retard. Without any grammatical errors.
I'm sorry that you people all have defective brains and are apparently incapable of reading what I actually typed, but that's not my fault, that's yours.
Anyway I say mean things all the time. But if you're going to get mad at me, at least get mad at me for something I actually said.

I'm not mad at you and if I was mad at you it wouldn't be because of you insulting @ben_lubar.
