A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

Oh, and you should see my ankles. I'm probably a Zika machine at this point.

The weather is fantastic, the people are crazy lol

I've been here since June, and I can say, with not a speck of doubt, the weather is not fantastic. I can't wait to go home to SD, where the weather truly is as close to perfect as possible.

South Dakota? Cool! 

Never heard people from there talk so nice about the weather but then there is no accounting for taste.

She does not like meanness or conflict. which I know is the only reason people come here.

Actually I come here to get away from conflict.

He kind of had me pegged on that one. I enjoy debating and picking apart arguments. It helps me form better ones. If it pisses someone off, even better.

Meh. I'm not likely to be convinced that if any of the popular members here said similar shit that Drich says, but said it about undesirables, anyone (apart from maybe CL) would bat an eye. The problem people have with Drich is that he says it directly to members of the forum who are popular. Well, that and he says a lot of shit that doesn't make any sense. Any one of us could (and lots likely have) say any old fucked up thing to Drich and it would be business as usual. Drich could say, "Fuck a goat, you stupid slut." to one of our female members and the white knights would rain down from the proverbial heavens. I could say, "Drich, I hope a goat rapes you in the bum." and you'd be lying if you said you would decry my behavior in anywhere near a similar way. Why? Because you don't like Drich. It's a bias. It can be completely natural or even morally correct, but it's still a bias. To deny it just plain silly.

Neither fully disagree nor full agree. But overall, Drich says nasty shit on a regular basis, rationalizes them, acts like a victim in the process, is condescending, and has a Messianic complex, thinking he's God's gift to all. So it's a combination of many uglies that Drich displays here. And I've yet to note such degree of uglies from any of the popular members here. Maybe that's why they're popular.

Can I be an overwhelming negative influence?

You show fits of brilliance and lots of promise but you've still got a way to go.  Get in touch with your inner curmudgeon.  Be the dick.

100% agree.

I've actually pointed that out before as well.

There was one member here who said the death of a theist is like squishing a bug. A few people expressed their disagreement, but imagine the outcry if Drich had said that about atheists.
