EricTrommater replies on Mar 4, 2019:

@FrayedBear the fact that you brought The Scottish Workers Republican Party into a dispute over shitposts, in a shitposts group with an avatar clearly stating No Normies, would have poor John McLean turning in his grave. You are not a shitposter. You, obviously, have no appreciation for the art of shitposting. Why are you here other than to express your moral and intellectual superiority to shitposters? On second thought, don't answer that. I'd hate to have you drag some other, poor, dead historical figure into the fray. You made your point. You think you are better than we are. Awesome. Leave!

EricTrommater replies on Mar 4, 2019:

@FrayedBear "Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it." - E. B. White Who is the more stupid? To me, there is nothing more stupid than analysing a joke. I formed this group as a counter to the humorless group of Normies who I saw in the main posts on this website. Our avatar has stated that Normies were not allowed here for over a year. If a Normie accidentally wanders in here and wants to begin dissecting our memes, they should realize they are in OUR house. There are hundreds of places on this website for humorless Normies to congregate. This is not one of them. We built this house to get away from that kind of thing. Those who came to violate this house shall, in the words of that great 3,000 year old work of fiction, inherit the wind. Be gone Normie or I shall taunt you a second time :p

LetzGetReal comments on Mar 3, 2019:

My belief about this is we should VOTE on this, take a poll or whatever as this seems a bit extreme. How is one going to learn from an experience when they are totally cut off?

EricTrommater replies on Mar 3, 2019:

I disagree. More polling and voting seems to me the opposite of what is needed. IMHO these were tools being abused by certain members in order to exert control over discussions and shut them down by constantly wanting to put everything to a vote. We cannot let that happen again!

EricTrommater replies on Mar 3, 2019:

@Davethecave Your is the second person possessive adjective, used to describe something as belonging to you. Your is always followed by a noun or gerund. You're is the contraction of "you are" and is often followed by the present participle. To simplify: Your grammar is poor. Vs You're using poor grammar.

Seems to be a glitch.

Looks great. I would take out the "resign as moderator" clause. Why give up any bargaining tool until you have to?

EricTrommater replies on Feb 27, 2019:

@stinkeye_a except it's not a negotiation. It's a manifesto. We aren't asking for change. We want the status quo, thus offering to change the status quo in order to keep the status quo means we are negotiating against ourselves.

@Pralina1 ah 64 at 60....even worse. 4 miles of hell.

Sometimes I'll post a meme or two.

In your example it is likely you have made two pages of recent posts and considering you're at level nine 1,551 **total** posts, most of them with an inane number of grammatically incorrect ellipsis. You remember . . . ellipsis? When I see the overboard use of dot, dot, dot . . . I conclude it's ...

EricTrommater replies on Feb 27, 2019:

The ellipsis are meme short hand for "see picture bellow," after the statement or "this is my reaction to the meme" when the ellipsis are before the meme. They began as a way to fill up word limits to post memes on the old MySpace platform and became a universal language among memers.

I think you should add something that addressees something about people not commenting at all... Something like: **By reading this document and not commenting, you hereby agree to it's full contents**

EricTrommater replies on Feb 27, 2019:

@Cutiebeauty yes silence means consent but from a PR standpoint it will encourage only those apposing it to comment and give the appearance of drama. I'm just thinking like a troll would.

@phxbillcee fair enough but you are suggesting some culpability for those of us standing up to this bully. Ask yourself this, my friend (and you are and always will be my very good friend) what did I, @EricTrommater do to that woman to deserve to have my group polled in The Senate over a policy decision, as she well knew, I never made nor even tacitly endorsed? If you can answer that question for me I will gladly find something better to do with my time tomorrow. If not....pop some popcorn.

EricTrommater replies on Feb 27, 2019:

@phxbillcee as far as vengance goes...yes I want to put her through the same ringer she tried to put me through with that stupid poll. It was her poor judgement to put herself in charge of a commitee to fix the very excesses she is guilty of if she us unwilling to answer for her own past crimes. That poll was an act of hostility on a far grander scale than any she is complaining about now. This is a bully and you cannot stop a bully without standing up to them. It simply does not work that way. Silence in the face of a bully implies consent. I do not consent to having been bullied by her and I will not be silent!

@phxbillcee BB asked for suggestions on how to reduce hostility in The Senate and claims that is what this pow-wow is about. If so, there will be no drama. I will simply give my suggestions as to how to do so. She is supposed to be there to take notes.

EricTrommater replies on Feb 26, 2019:

@Cutiebeauty it was deleted of course. The poll asked if it was ok for a group to block members for reporting content if it wasn't written in their rules. She then inboxed me and told me about the poll. I told her I didn't give a crap about the issue (we are supposed to be offensive, if some of our posts aren't reported we aren't doing our job) but that I wasn't going to reverse my Moderator's decision. I also told her that she would be permanently blocked from the group if she continued to tell my Mods and me how to do our job. I went and commented exactly that and then she reported me for "stalking" by commenting on the poll she inboxed me and asked me to read. She then deleted the poll and all evidence in my inbox. She is smarter than we give her credit.
