ATS needs more people to step up, like you, and call them out too for bad behaviour.

I've done as much as I can do to call this out, but ive reached the limit of what i can say, and think I know.

This isn't your typical group of trolls. In fact, you might say, they're not trolls at all.

Throughout you will notice incongruities in posting. People won't make sense. Inconsistent treatment, weird interactions with certain people, it will just start to break down. You won't know what to believe.

More so, consider comfort zones. This place provided comfort. You had the regulars, usual bickering, the obligatory 15 page threads about evil transgender people, the same old flame wars. You had the stars and flags of a familiar echo chamber secure in posting to the familiar audience.

Things never really change that way, or that's the 'same' people wanted to see. The organic version slowly creeps along. To REALLY force change you need total adversity. You need upending of everything and being forced into the unknown to find a new path... or return to same path by any means necessary.

Like if you want the ants to build a new tunnel system you completely shake up their ant farm. And it might be a different when I gets built again. And I'm an ant too. Building a new tunnel system with my posts and assumptions as to what's going on.

I have yet to study social psychology but it's next on my list. I will take your advice as truth.

Lurking here and listning to people in person tak about similar subjects has Been my social experiment. Also getting a lot of inside to people's thinking. This site is amazing especially when you have people with such firm beliefs interacting.

I suppose I'd like to study dysfunctional social behaviour so I can identify those posters that don't deserve my time - not even a reply. To learn how people think, a great deal of time and interaction is required and with some members here the doors are closed right at the start.

Your very first step for studying dysfunctional social behavior should be a mirror.


And I don't mean that with any sarcasm. Understand yourself first.

Of course you mean that with /sarc. You can't help being you.

She's being an antagonist. A provocateur. Unless you have an angle for going on tilt, it's a recipe for internet self-immolation. Which will happen if you continue trying to counter.

It's a troll hiding intelligence and an inherent advantage. It's like a high school school pitcher throwing to Ohtani, or vise versa. No matter how many at bats, it's the same result. Ohtani wins. There's just too much competitive advantage.

I suppose the angle is to stand up to a member who gets their kicks out of trolling others and call them out on it. ATS needs more people to step up, like you, and call them out too for bad behaviour.

What exactly do you expect that to accomplish? Standing up? Calling out "bad behavior"? LoL. Pardon me, but, you sound like a child. Every thread will have endless pages of "calling out"? That's your idea of a solution? Make the site completely un-usable? Because you got your feefees hurt? Get real.

Yes...but we lost everything. Posts, threads, walls, pic, screen names, avatars.

Still here? All us friends+long+time now have new i.d.s....so in essence...we've lost everyone.

Never. Never. Never utilize without restraint social media. And USE NO ONES CLOUD for all your stuff. Save it to cheaper storage in your drawer.

So...we are still here friend...and this change was not at all unexpected. It was just when.

The who...we can only guess..

God bless ya, cya ✌️
