I meant the Serbian Socialist Party, if it's not obvious. In the same post, which I linked to and quoted many times, and I will do it again, as I seem to do nothing but repeat myself to your kind, you claimed not to be a member of SSP and later you claimed to be a non-Serbian member of it.

If you are going to post here again, explain how is that not contradictory and proof you are writing gibberish.

You know, in my Latin textbook (Hereditas Linguae Latinae), there is a saying that applies to you here: Stulti semper sic statuuntur, quae non intellegunt, aspernantur et abutuntur.

You still haven't explained what "SSP" means. And my kind? My kind? Is that supposed to refer to Serbians? So you admit that you are prejudiced against Serbians

Well, how is it contradictory?

Ok in all seriousness:

I have indeed been trolling and talking gibberish as a way of getting teo123 to respond to posts that I have no investment in, purely to wind him up and get him angry. I have no opinion on computer scientists and I simply couldn't care less. However, it doesn't matter because no matter how ridiculous my response is, teo has responded up until now. I'm honestly quite surprised that he's finally given up because of the fact that there have been multiple points where I have typed out things and thought "This is so ridiculous. He's obviously going to recognise that I'm taking the piss." However, he still responded.

The way I see it, I've been providing the forum a service. In the 13 days he's been responding to my gibberish, he has barely had time to annoy other forum members. If I get banned, I don't really care. Whichever moderator chooses to ban me will ultimately just be harming themselves at the end of the day as teo will be allowed to run rampant throughout the forum being a complete pain in the arse.

Well, that's the Poe's Law in action here. Don't assume people on the Internet will be able to tell when you aren't being serious.
Also, claiming that studying computer science makes you susceptible to White Supremacist beliefs isn't just annoying, it's very insulting.

Actually, it isn't. Poe's Law refers to actual viewpoints people hold that are so ridiculous that it would be impossible to parody them without being indistinguishable from somebody who sincerely holds those viewpoints.

There isn't a single person who holds all of the viewpoints I claimed to have held throughout this thread. As well as that, even if you did think I was being serious, you still would have had no reason to continue the discussion. The fact that you believed I was being serious when I ranted about having an obsession with Pac-Man and when I said that I supported transhumanism because I wanted a robot dick makes me think that you are very gullible. The fact that you not only believed I was serious, but thought it a worthwhile use of your time to respond for SEVEN MOTHERFUCKING PAGES, makes me think that you really ought to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror.

Well, you've said multiple insulting things many times on this forum, so I really couldn't care less if you feel insulted. But I'll say this: nobody believes that studying computer sciences makes you susceptible to white supremacist beliefs. The fact that you thought I was being serious, combined with the fact that you thought Poe's law is a good way to justify the fact that you thought I was being serious, is completely ridiculous because of this.

Around Christmas, somebody on Twitter claimed that they ran a Starbucks where they fired any employees who wished there customers "Merry Christmas", and that they did this because they personally disliked conservative Christians. This person was obviously taking the piss, and making fun of the paranoia about the "War on Christmas", however, a whole bunch of conservatives took the bait and genuinely believed that people at Starbucks were being fired. This indicates to me that a lot of American conservatives are unreasonably paranoid. The fact that you fell for obvious bait in the same manner as they did makes me believe that you too are unreasonably paranoid about people trying to stop you from studying computer science. If so, you need to get over yourself. Nobody thinks you're evil for studying computer science. Nobody is going to call you a white supremacist for studying computer science. Nobody even cares.

By the way, just to clarify, I knew from the very beginning that you weren't the one who prevented me from posting earlier. As a matter of fact, I know who did prevent me from posting. I think that their reason of disapproving it for "containing links to illegal or pirated software" was likely due to the links that you posted that I quoted, although I'm not quite sure why.

Anyway, teo, I thank you kindly for allowing me to waste your time. You have provided much amusement and entertainment to me. I hope that if somebody on this forum is ever bothered by your nonsense, they will take a leaf out of my book and respond to you in a similar fashion to how I did. They would be very wise to turn their misguided efforts to attempt to educate you into a delightful fun activity of posting inane gibberish and seeing how long it takes you to realise that they're just mocking you.

Lads, I've set the record at 60 posts! Let's see if anybody can get a higher score!

You claimed that Posadas was right in supposedly suggesting that we need to get rid of capitalism with a global nuclear war, that computer science is very easy to do, that computer science is nearly useless and that studying computer science somehow makes people hold racist beliefs. And when I try to slap some reality into your face, it's somehow my fault for not realizing you are joking. What kind of twisted logic is that?

Are you really a member of Serbian Socialist Party? I would like a sincere answer to what members of Serbian Socialist Party think of Mate Kapović'es Bleiburg revisionism and about Vukovar revisionism. But now I can't trust you to give me a sincere answer to that, since you have a track record of being insincere.

Yes. Yes it is your fault. Any sensible people would have looked at all those statements and realised that I was joking. How on earth could you have thought that I was being serious, and even if I was being serious, why would you have thought it a worthwhile use of your time to respond? Why are you even responding to me now?

Of course not.
But now I can't trust you to give me a sincere answer to that, since you have a track record of being insincere.
Then why are you still responding to me?

Because I am not sure "Don't feed the troll." is a good principle. Some people, which appear to be trolls, are just genuinely misinformed. And dismissing them as trolls will just reinforce their beliefs.
JReg wrote:Why are you even responding to me now?
Because I thought you might want to have a reasonable discussion.
JReg wrote:Of course not.
Then why did you state, in your introduction post, that you were? That post wasn't directed to me, you made ALL forum members think you hold a political position which you don't actually hold.
