Caution: Beware of China Scam (was forum=28)Follow
Alma, let me explain what just happened. BT's comment was made purely for the sake of being racist. It had nothing in particular to do with blacks; it had nothing in particular to do with you. There was no malice in it; he would have said the same even to people he likes. By taking it personally you've completely misunderstood the intent, believing he was in some way attacking you. This is why everyone said "whoosh."
It may be a probabilistic bet to assume that anything that could be interpreted as an antagonistic remark against you is intended as an antagonistic remark against you, but by doing so you preclude the occurrence of friendly jabs when people are extending you their own version of an olive branch.

I especially like it when he took BT's comment, and made a sweeping generalization about the whole forum. That gave me a tingly feeling in my pants.
It's called being trolled. BT pretty much excels at trolling, and you pretty much played right into his hands. Thanks for the amusement though.

Errr.. I know that.. hence the reason why I said "/woosh".

But hey, the aforementioned quote above clearly proves your stupidity, jokingly or not.
The problem with you people is that you think so low of me that you believe that I would react a certain way to certain comments just to amuse you. When I don't react that way, in your mind, you still believe that I did in order to make you feel better. I've made this point before.
I didn't get offended by his statement nor did I take it personally.

Key word is "provoking".
That sentence is translated into "This is actually quite embarrassing for allakhazam to allow posters to jokingly make racial slurs in attempt to anger someone on their websites.
Apparently, none of you all caught on to that and assumed that I was "offended", hence why I said "woosh"...
My argument is, it isn't tactful to make such comments regardless if you're joking or not. For example, you wouldn't make jokes of the death of someone's close friend or relative who passed away. Likewise, any mature person wouldn't joke with those types of words. I went on to say that those words show the maturity, ignorance and stupidity of some people.
Now joking about the loss of someone and racial slurs aren't the same, but the concept is.
Once again, you all have proven to have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Think again...read above... nice try though, maybe next time.. You're going to have to be much smarter than that to get me....

So long as you continue to endlessly defend yourself, you're always going to be presumed to have fallen for the troll. At some point, you have to say **** it and walk away, not caring what everyone else thinks of you. And don't tell me you don't, because if you didn't, you wouldn't continue to argue the same defense.
To you, they may look like the fools, but to them, you are too.

I don't care... for a few reasons
1. The proof is in the words... you can't argue against that. There is no other meaning to "Jokingly or not" other than, "I don't care if you are joking or not"
2. I'm not defending myself, WE are defending ourselves.. You all are doing the same exact thing that I'm doing. So you can't say that somehow me defending myself shows a sign of "weakness" where somehow your defensive counters empowers you. I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way...
Your quoted sentence is translated to "I have no counter to your previous post because you are indeed correct, but instead of admitting that we made a mistake, I will ridicule you for defending yourself in attempt to dodge the fact that we were wrong"

I've told you a million times already, this is a past time for me. Endlessly arguing over random stuff on the Internet is fun to me. So no, I don't care what you think about me. If I did, I wouldn't be posting anything at all. I would be a lurker. That is what a person who is afraid of ridicule would do, they wouldn't say anything or just agree with everyone.
Anything I say will be ridiculed on this forum, so if I gave a flying F what you people thought of me, then I wouldn't be continuously posting one post after another to only have to constantly defend myself. I surely wouldn't make a thread of me falling for a scam, given how I'm already seen as "stupid" if I truly cared what you all think.. The evidence is clear that I like to argue, so if anyone here is being trolled, it is definitely not me....
This supports my previous claim. People on this forum created this stupid persona of me and reacts as if I'm portraying it regardless if I am or not. This is all just to get people laughs. Just like in grade school when everyone likes to pick on that one person just because.

Bullying...Let me see
Usually an idiotic low self esteem person who cries for attention by picking on people who appears to be weaker than them when reality they are superior to them in order to make them self feel better.
Am I right?

Check my edit...
anyways,
You can call it "bullying" all you want, but that doesn't justify the accuracy in your statements. All you are doing is making up moot and/or irrelevant statements to avoid the fact that you were originally wrong....
Edit: so are you claiming that people are more likely to bully someone who appears superior to them rather than inferior?

The only statement I've made that may be wrong is And the rest of us will never know, because the only one who can prove me wrong is someone who's actions continually tell us otherwise.
Everything else is spot on. You encourage the treatment you receive.

I apologize. As I stated in previous threads, I reply to so many people that I tend to say "you" in a generic sense, so I've might not been referring to you directly.
What I was referring to is the belief that I was "/wooshed". I countered to say that I wasn't wooshed at all, but ironically it was "y'all". Instead of admitting that "y'all" misread my original post, "y'all" ridiculed me for being "defensive", which has nothing to do with the fact that "y'all" were wooshed and not me....
Simply changing the subject to avoid embarrassment.

Sure... as I always say, I can post a cure for cancer and get ridiculed. Just face it, "It's cool and protocol to pick on Alma" and that's what people do. There is no justification for about 95.738% of the stuff. I always admit to my wrong statements, so there is no encouragement other than the possible "trolling" of me saying things to argue about.
Ugly wrote:
I'm not claiming either way. Bullying does not require low or high self esteem. Bullying does not requires that the person be inferior to you. Bullying does not require that the person you are bullying is superior to you but perceived as inferior. Your statement, while at times may be true, is equally, if not more often, wrong.
That is true, but you do realize that I was purposely using that particular scenario, where it is sometimes true, to represent the people on this thread? Of course you wouldn't agree with my definition because you would be admitting to that claim...

I think you may be high on that number, but I will concede that often, there is no justification beyond "let's pick on Alma" for the first shot taken at you on any given thread. Once you reply to that first shot though, you bring it upon yourself.
I might be off slightly on my calculations...
What I "bring" upon myself and to others is simply opposition, nothing more nothing less. I don't expect anyone to agree with me. I don't want anyone to agree with me, because it's hard to argue with someone who agrees with you. There is no fun in that. The rest is simply ignorance and immaturity.
Anyway, it's past my bedtime..

Actually no. Bullies overall tend to be pretty well-adjusted psychologically. The whole "lashing out because of their own feelings of inadequacy" theory has turned out to be largely wrong.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Woosh!
Am I doing it right?

Damn Alma, I own you.
Get it?
