The punishment is him being made to be of an obsequious posture whilst enduring the non compos mentis rantings of the philistines who are of notable abundance on these forums.

Only 429 more pages to go!

I don't think he's gonna make it.  So low energy.  Sad!

Vulcanlogician, during our dialectical interchange we, together, elucidated the most fundamentally beautiful and powerful three little words ever written, and, here we are, now, back to being totally devastated by members' radically intent pursuit of their insane project to constitute me a troll, come hell or high water; repeatedly babbling about something regarding 400 pages, absent explanation of what that is all about. It is so clear to me now that forum members live for, get their kicks, by grinding Newbies down, via intense and ongoing insults, et.al., into reacting to them such that they can say, Oh, see,  precisely as I thought, he's a troll.  Wow, look, he is a troll, run, run, run, he really is a troll !  Via our recent interaction we gave members the best of the beautiful, and, here these members are, right back to their troll-constituting work.

Vulcanlogician, let us in the spirit of Marcus Aurelius, stoically, in the presence of cave dwelling philistines, simply peripatetically step past the schizophrenogenic misconduct of other, neurotic, members, and, pursue knowledge and truth via calm, rational dialectic...What say you ? What is of interest to you, now, within the realm of ideas ?  Negatio.

I prefer plain English, I genuinely do not know what you mean. What I do know is that he was not punished by staff, we gave him an official warning. That’s it.

Kevin, I recently wrote a very extensive account/explanation of what I am doing here; I think it was to Abaddon_ire, I'll look back in the thread for it. However, as an existentialist thinker I know that I am not obligated to give excuse or justification for any civil, decent social acts which I do.

Wow, Kevin, you must be Deity, you were going to give me a fresh start, and, now you wash your hands of me !  Too bad, I was just beginning to fathom your personality, and enjoy interaction with you !  I have had emjay, Abaddon-ire; and, Vulvanlogician, wash their hands of me, and two out of three of those  members and I are getting along famously, Abaddon_ire is publicly enacting some kind of role as a foil, and is buddy buddy in private.  I know the good spirit of your offer, and, I did not understand, I thought you were asking my why, when I first got on the forum, I did not posit introduction, so, I answered you accordingly.  Catch you later, I hope. Negatio.

I was intentionally using large, obtuse words... like our friend

Sorry, I thought you'd get a chuckle.


BTW... I'm out this thread. Y'all have fun, okay?

I wanted to chuckle but I didn’t know what that meant so I really wanted to know lol! I won’t quote you anymore so as not to drag you back into the thread.

I don't believe he's a troll or poe, and whatever WIFOM I had about that originally, I no longer have. But I know my opinion is in the minority; first impressions are hard to change, and unfortunately his first impressions were mostly bad. And now he's paying the price for those bad first impressions even though I believe they were simply the result of him being a complete newbie to the world of online forums, both in terms of technical understanding, and etiquette. But he's improving on the technical side, and fighting an uphill struggle against the general perception of troll. So from that POV it's understandable that he feels angry and paranoid, including about the staff and the nature of punishment here. Basically he feels overwhelmed; he jumped in at the deep end of a new experience... and unfortunately floundered. That's how I see it.
