drama queen was the dude who brought up the redneck's comment history apropos of absolutely nothing.

the only time op's posting history is relevant is to call out a lie, a disabused fact.

pointing to op's history because you can't win an argument is childish, and rampant, but excused because people can't be blamed for following social scripts they can't see. avoided, but not blamed.

but pointing to op's history in a tier one comment is bullying and a witchhunt, us vs them drama at its worst, hivemind circlejerk at its most innocuous.

that guy should be as heavily downvoted as the racist.

i think i covered all the ground in my previous post.

this isn't an anonymous website. he doesn't get to goof around freely on the one hand and then post race hate on the other.

in an ideal world maybe every time he posted outside of shitstain racist subs people would try and educate him as to why his views are terrible. however, being blasted off the page everywhere is an acceptable compromise in my opinion.

If one or two people you meet in a day are assholes, you've had a bad day.

When everyone you meet is an asshole, it's time to consider an alternative theory...

then why bait me?

are you baiting me now? i keep saying, i expect more from a meta sub.

if you've been impressed with my insight thus far, why do you not also know that i take the internet exactly as seriously as i do real life?

why do you not know that everyone should?

we're not AI. these are not bots, behind the comments. some of the things i come across on here make me weep blood.

i think about it when i can't sleep. the stupidity i've encountered, over the course of the day. the amount of trash i've had to call out, the number of ops doing their special sack of sticks impression.

how do you not also know that if i proffer an opinion, it's thought through and educated, and it will fucking upset me if people dismiss it out of hand, without giving it the consideration i feel it's due?

how can you tell me it's "just the internet" in 2014?

i'm sorry i snapped at you, but don't say stupid shit.

Lol.

That's a terrible idea. 99℅ of all of it is fake.

Look, I'm not a professional doctor or anything, but if reddit is making you this upset, you may want to take a few steps back.

>how do you not also know that if i proffer an opinion, it's thought through and educated, and it will fucking upset me if people dismiss it out of hand, without giving it the consideration i feel it's due?

I mean, if your opinion is dumb, people aren't going to care how long you spent thinking it up. Should I get furious if I make a post and people don't care about it? What if my white power post isn't gaining the traction I feel it is due? Where should I complain?

>how can you tell me it's "just the internet" in 2014?

Because it is, bro. It sounds like you're spending too much time on it. Go read a book, join a club, go outside, whatever. It sounds pike you're spending waaaaaaaay too much time thinking about reddit.

hahn i know. the only reason i'm still in it is because this isn't a default. subredditdrama is supposed to be making fun of the average redditor.

doesn't this mean they should be more intelligent than the average redditor?

i'm not trying to win this one; this long after the fact, i've honestly forgotten about this one. the only thing bringing me back to it is new, sincere replies.

i just want them to fucking understand my point; that op's comment history has nothing to do with op's submission, and calling it out in a tier 1 comment is fucking bullshit.

What's wrong with bullying racists?

I mean, you seem to be proposing an Internet Law: everyone shall be allowed to say racist shit in some subreddits, then participate in other subreddits using the same account (because username and karma are important, but actual posting history is not somehow?) unfettered by anyone pointing out their history. What good will come from enacting this law? What bad will come from not doing that?

Also, what's wrong with having a social consensus about racism being bad, why do you call it a "hivemind circlejerk"?

A bunch of racists and general idiots cry when you delete their comments or ban them cuz 'censorship'.

They think they have to right to freeze peaches on a privately owned site. Because freedums

It's generally only used to defend rule infractions and angry hate-filled rants

i was halfway through typing "can you explain the etymology of freeze peaches though" and then thought i'd read it one more time and ok, i get it, a terk ur jerrbs shibboleth.

but no, this is not me defending an asshole's right to free speech at all here.

it's really fucking irritating that no one's seeing what's so fucking obvious to me.

i'm really starting to think i'm being trolled here. like some online... flashmob.

Yeah, bullshit. Irrelevant to the creepy post or whatever, but calling out someone based on their own words and opinions is not bullying at all.

It let other people know they were potentially arguing with a virulent racist. Which is almost always a waste of time.

I may be down voted, but I completely agree with you. It ruins the post and there is no reason to do it. But what I think is worse than bringing up people's history is down voting someone just because they have a different opinion like in your case, but hey this reddit for you. If we disagree with you we will down vote everything you say wheater it good or not.
