This was a discussion about you behavior. You did not address this behavior in your post.

The links are okay, but your responses are ridiculous just like the one here. The passive aggressiveness is palpable.

The constant need to disproportionally defend yourself definitely is trollish.

If you wish to address this fine. Otherwise there is not much else to say. I wish you good luck in the future and do hope you will change.

So you’re saying I should just sit back and say nothing when people spread falsehoods about my motivations? What about when I’m accused of being Russian or not even living in the US—just let that slide too? What about that I am “multiple people” on this account because “no human could do that!” (which is hilarious by the way)

You’re literally advocating for me to be banned, and I shouldn’t respond to that? Really?

How about this: If people don’t want a response from me, or think that my responses are “trollish”, then maybe they should stop making accusations about me and just discuss the article.

A guy in this very thread, posts how many articles I post. And he does it every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. And he comes right out and says I shitpost. Now he is free to do that. My post history is public. But isn’t doing that sort of trying to get some response?

Him posting that and baiting me doesn’t get a rise out of me at all. But it’s obvious he’s targeting me and has been for some time. Feel free to check his post history and what he says to me. Again, he’s free to do that as much as he wants. But don’t I have a right to reply?

I had someone the other day, mention that they were responding to me ad nauseum to just increase the comment count for the post.

Is that in good faith?

If people just stopped responding to me, wouldn’t that pretty much eliminate all the drama?

Now, people TOTALLY have a right to respond to me and try to “call me out.” As often as they want, because it won’t stop me from posting. But if they have that right, don’t I have to right to respond?

My advice would be to only discuss the points of the article and stop trying to defend yourself in such a ridiculous manner. You don’t need to at all honestly and at this point it only further solidifies people’s perception of you.

You can only control yourself and pointing your finger at everyone else is never a good look.

Surely you can see what you have been doing is not working. Try something else.

Thanks for the advice. But I’ll defend myself and my views when I feel it necessary. Sometimes I ignore, sometimes I don’t. Depends on my mood. And though it was good for some discussion points to have with you, at the end of the day, I don’t really give a shit what angry Lemmy commenters say. lol

I gave you examples, but then you decide to not address those at all. So yeah, I’m not really gonna take your advice on this.

And for the record, I DID ignore all comments and only asked people to respond to the article and not make things personal, and everyone said I was a troll and/or a bot. In fact, I used to put it as a disclaimer when I posted. Caused WAY more uproar and drama than me responding. lolol That’s in my post history as well. So…

I’ll keep posting what I want, when I want, where I want, and respond to people how I want. Whether it is “working” or not. Thank you!

Also, let’s here’s a fun example. I just posted this: https://lemmy.world/post/20405177

It’s actually an anti-Stein/Pro-democrat article. Look at the downvotes of the article. And go read the comments. lol

It got downvoted because I posted it. People downvote me because they think I am a russian troll who wants Trump to win. But I have posted several pro-democrat articles. So how does that fit in with your narrative of me and my behavior? Serious question; not “trolling.”

Because my point is that I think people are actually mad because they are emotional that I’m not voting for Harris. And to explain it, they are quick to say that I have an “agenda” or that “I’m trollish.”

But if I post articles that are pro-democrat/pro-Harris/anti-Trump/anti-Stein, and people are still mad, then how does that fit the idea that I am the one with some agenda?
