You accused me of wanting a clique. Then I pulled up a quote from literally the very previous post where you literally said the words "You guys want a clique." Just say "My bad" and keep it moving. That's seems to be a foreign language to you. Your self-awareness is in the bushes somewhere.



I don't know who's in the minority or majority and neither do you, but I still stand by my points.



I didn't launch any ad hominem attacks on you. You routinely launch ad hominem attacks on the majority of the board you're supposed to be moderating.


:what: I said the rest of the board was stupid? What the fukk are you even talking about?

Breh, I PMed you saying I was going to try to get other people in here and you basically said that it's useless because the people aren't all there. I'm not about to go find the PM. Furthermore, it was a typo, and you know it was a typo because I straight up said that I get lumped into that same grouping and I disagree. Everything else you said, you're just wrong man. I know it for a fact. The mods and admins do too, but you're not behind closed doors. This is the problem, you overstate what you know and you assume that the trolling issue hasn't been addressed.

What's hilarious is just yesterday people complained to houston about trolling all day in the coli and he responded the same way I just did here. I once got called out for a fellow mod for telling them they were being too loose, and so on. The point, the Coli is not SOHH. I'm acting how the big homies want me to moderate. We literally have had group discussions on everything you just posted about. That's why I'm looking @ you like this: :bert: because you honestly just don't know what you're talking about. If you wanted to say that there's a communication vacuum then that's another thing. But you can't say that we haven't acted in good faith to respond to everything. shyt, I helped come out with that HL header so I really think you need to slow down for a second and recognize the facts that you're not capable of having.

Just today, SafeForWork got banned immediately from HL. All that other stuff is just your hubris, please stop making everything about you. If you really have an issue after this post, PM brook or bk. You always find a way. I'm not empowering that anymore.

YOu can't find it because it doesn't exist. Don't remember it, but I'm 100% sure I never said or implied that people on this site are dumb. You're lying...pure and simple.

Furthermore, it was a typo, and you know it was a typo because I straight up said that I get lumped into that same grouping and I disagree.

:what: It wasn't a typo. You literally said "you guys want a clique" in context, and even expounded on the point by saying that people here don't want to here differing viewpoints. You also called HL a "circle jerk." Was that a typo too?

Whatever...you'll never admit you were wrong about anything or you contradicted yourself about anything, so fukk it.

Everything else you said, you're just wrong man. I know it for a fact. The mods and admins do too, but you're not behind closed doors. This is the problem, you overstate what you know and you assume that the trolling issue hasn't been addressed.

I ain't even tripping about the trolling. Your general tone and tenor toward the people who post here is unbecoming of a mod imo.

I don't know what the fellow mods tell you, but I'm pretty sure they don't tell you to get all insulting and lecture-y to the people who comprise forum every time there's some concern about the general state of the forum raised.
The point, the Coli is not SOHH.

I know. Now stop acting like FemmeFatale.

I've felt the same way since peeping KTL on SOHH: I'd be posting here every single day, multiple times... but there are only 3-5 posters who consistently show any depth and a dozen who are garden variety buffoons. KTL was a bootleg HuffPo, and most of the discourse in Higher Learning is about as rigorous and enlightened as a random Harlem incense stand in the 90s.

That being said, if this place ever got its shyt together, distilled the dregs, and got militant about eliminating trolling, I'd be inclined to visit on a daily basis.

:manny:

I know. Now stop acting like FemmeFatale.

First off, what I said about the PMs is true, it was clearly when I was telling you that I think I could get some more people from TLR and other places in here. I won't bother bk or brook with asking them if it's possible to find my deleted PMs, but I assume that now you know exactly what PM I was talking about. Look @Walt, smart guy, really good poster. Never comes in HL.

Here's the last post of this thread. Most of the people you named or tried to @ I'm cool with and they've pulled me to the side once or twice and said I was coming off aggy about a thing or two. But they also know why. But it's also not one approach, I requested that people ignore Forrazeli and that alias faded off the map, I actually had to ban Tom. Banning someone from a forum is not something that is done lightly on the Coli. On balance, you're just incorrect, I'm sorry. As far as circle-jerk, that's true but that's different from the clique talk. That was me referencing how HL is pretty liberal in a thread where acri was asking for conservative posters. The "circle-jerk" reference when pretty uncontested by most people. If you don't believe that it's a typo, that's your prerogative. Bottom line is this, the concerns of everyone in here are taken into consideration. You feel a certain way and that's fine. You don't know me very well and it shows, and I'm sorry that you feel the way you feel but I can't change that. The good that comes from this is that, now I know what thread needs to be upped, the original suggestions thread. Look out for it, town-hall style suggestions. But this type of interaction between the two of us is toxic and I promise this is my last time getting involved. My fault @bk and @Brooklynzson for even getting involved. Everyone has said what they have to say, I'll up that suggestions thread in a second.

i really like HL...i see it for what it is and a see it for what it can be.

i don't post in here very often but when i do i try to drop some gems and ask genuine questions.


HL is a microcosm for the real world...it's educational, annoying, stimulating, boring and sometimes it makes you get sexually aroused.

*reads through rest of thread* :huhldup:

Seriously. I was going to reply to @BarNone, but I just don't have the energy to step in between him and VVD right now. Exams and papers in the morning and all that. Personal reading to sneak in, too.

I wrote my piece...just gonna step away for now...
