[Official] The Vinny G. Thread

[thesummerqueen]

You guys are just pissed that I'm funnier than he is.

[falls to the office floor, rolling and laughing until crying]

You're right - just then, you WERE funnier than him. Enjoy the moment while it lasts.

No, actually, it's because Min takes potshots at Christianity in general - very rarely at specific names. You guys are ALWAYS saying his name, rarely just atheists in general.

[John V]

minimalist might call you stupid and/or other things because of your beliefs and how you express them in your posts and threads.

But I dont think that he would make and ever made the kind of disgusting remarks a Vincent makes towards a individuals apperance.

I really know nothing about Vinny, except that he made a post devoted to himself...which is enough.

OK, now you've taken the crown. Good one!

That link's to a search on keyword "drippy" by username Minimalist. It's four pages long, and that's just on one nickname for one Christian.

Min takes shots at everyone. Don't take it so personally.

[thesummerqueen]

Is it because he's addressing someone in particular in his response? I'm not clicking that link unless you tell me it's because he specifically mentions someone in a generalized comment when the person wasn't addressing him directly beforehand.

Wow, you guys really don't get it. I'm just joking around. Minnie himself probably isn't bothered by it at all, as I'm not bothered by him. It's just trash talk for fun.

The first three posts meet those criteria. Two of them also reference a GC. I'm not checking four pages.

I realize the urge to ban burns in you like a fire and it takes a lot of self-control to talk to me without wanting to snap my neck and defecate down my throat.

If you do get banned, then just remember that it will be a consequence of your own actions. Therefore, you can't blame anyone or anything else but yourself.

If I am banned, I won't complain. You got it straight from me.

That being said, I will also give you the benefit of doubt that maybe you are, in reality, more honest than people in this forum perceive you to be.

This is an environment where the moment someone doesn't like what you have to say, you are flamed, even if what you say is true. You'll be hard pressed to convince me to feel any sense of obligation towards people here.

This thread was an example of unrequited good faith. Because I wanted to give it, not because I felt I ought to. And true to form, a few posts were made to make me regret this thread. But self-control prevailed.

[Jackalope]

But self-control prevailed.

Sure did.

So, I guess when you said you were going to be less of an asshat, you were funnin' us?

Fuck off you twat.

[Vincenzo Vinny G.]

This is starting to sound suspiciously like Rev's assertions that there was a conspiracy.

I said it was a trap because if people DID say they wanted him to leave, he'd probably go to his secret forum and say "see?!!?!"

If you can learn to handle the heat with a little more grace, then stay. You've been a complete cock up until now, most of the time for totally unnecessary reasons.

You said I made good points in my "Dear Atheist Forums" thread - if that was a real assertion of your opinion, well the reason I've changed a bit now is because I've realized a certain subset of people on this forum have no desire to have productive, happy discussion and are much more satisfied with someone to antagonize. So you if you want to continue to be a cock and bear the brunt of that, I'm not going to try and hold back the tide - it keeps the troll-baiters busy. If, on the other hand, you actually want to stay and do some good, then quit making attention-whoring threads like this and do it. No one gives a shit as long as you're not breaking the rules or disrupting the forum too much. It'd be nice to see your vocabulary and imagination bent towards something more constructive than elaborate insults.

You've been a bit of an idiot yourself, and I'll take this brief moment to be honest and not bite my tongue when I say that.

But on reflection, the problem is when there are overly lax rules and regulations, the expectation of productive discourse goes by the wayside.

Even people who are genial and friendly and cool and smart turn into turds, because that's the status quo in a toilet bowl.

This is something that needs to be said to the mods, not to you. But your "Dear Atheist" letter brought it up very eloquently.

Being permissive with conduct works to a point. But then it just descends into flamebaiting and trolling. Which can only be met with flamebaiting and trolling. You can't be the sheep that walks into a wolf's den. You gotta be another wolf.

And the good guys, like you (and I know you'll laugh, but me, or the side of me that likes to have stimulating conversations), have no place to go. This is a lesson to learn for people interested in managing communities.

But far be it from the mods to consider a point made by the loathsome "Non Trollare Mai".

You don't get to decide when and where I engage you in good faith. I do.

You're a grown man. I expect more from you than I do from the others.

This is an environment where the moment someone doesn't like what you have to say, you are flamed, even if what you say is true.

Says the one who was flaming.

And the reason that you've been getting such a negative reaction from members here is much more than because of "not liking what you have to say."

Who gives a shit about me? I'm a mutha fuckin patty, I love dat flame broil!

But I lurked on this forum for a while before I joined. I saw the way others were treated.

Maybe you ought to hire Daniel here as a consultant.

edit: I also wanna put a picture up, but knowing my haters...
