Once on a gaming site I had an argument with several people including a couple of Mods over the meaning of "Irony".

It was no biggee, everyone was getting there own definitions from various sources. This site awarded posters military ranks according to their number of posts. I was a Major and the guy I was arguing with was like a Brigadier General. From that it kind of gives you a view of who you're talking to.

Anyway this went on and on - I was totally in the right of course - but it was only when I saw another post that I realised I'd been arguing for days with a 12y/o kid

Sometimes you do need to remember that its only the internet.

have you ever found yourself engaged in a feud/rivalry with any fellow posters around here? that one poster that rubs you up the wrong way for whatever reason? was it long standing and have any consequences? would you even be bothered engaging in such a feud?

none have crossed my path yet, however I feel like sometimes posters offer intentionally contrary opinions to other posters repeatedly over different topics just to get at them, which often starts off the hostility. and stuff like poster history being used against them etc. further causes mayhem. its interesting to watch.

I honestly never thought of it myself as interesting to watch two or more posters taking lumps out of each other and getting sneaky passive aggressive digs in at each other like both their brains would explode if they didn't come up with a searing put-down or a witty(less) retort.

As long as people are civil I could discuss all day, or they come back with a rebuttal that I have to hand it to them that was good. I don't really go in for petty sniping matches or bearing grudges against people. I could have my argument destroyed in a thread and still say fair play, as long as a poster made a fair argument.

The thing that always gets on my tits though are indeed post history trawlers who can't come up with a decent argument so stoop to undermining the poster directly, or spelling and grammar pedantry, or just outright caustic bitterness and abuse, so unnecessary.

Life's too short for feuds

There no PC you rabble rabble

Not a feud but constant amusement generated when I see him.

Menas · 03-05-2015 06:49PM

There are some posters I avoid because I don't like them...and a few because we have fallen out...but not really a fued.

hynesie08 · 03-05-2015 07:00PM

There was a poster who tended to drag threads off topic, several posters told them to stop but when i said it all hell broke loose, dredging through my post history to attack me, checking my profile to see when i was online and even trying to log into my account.

They've been sitebanned since for being a complete mental.

There's a particularly stupid poster on Boards who is ridiculed daily for their general moronic stupidity and naivete, but can't seem to get the message. Others are convinced it's an actual troll.

UCDVet · 03-05-2015 07:21PM

I wonder how many people are reading these and thinking, 'Ummm are they talking about me?!?'

This is not a thread for the paranoid.

There are 2 obvious possibilities i can think of, and they're in a boards feud with each other.

To be fair i can think of about 10 posters off the top of my head on Boards who'd fit that description.

That's what they want us to think!

I've found myself in one, well one stands out for me. Found out it was a male who seems rightly p!ssed off with me. Followed me around on varying threads I was posting on trying to pick a fight. He never got one.
Each time I would post something optimistic, he would refute that with negativity and always tried to find issue with what I was saying.

Never reacted to him, who-ever he is, kinda feel sad for him that his postings were so negative.

You should never argue with a stupid person. They will drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience!:pac:

03-05-2015 07:39PM

There was one poster who I actually thought had taken a strange dislike to me. I soon realised that she is in fact just a pedantic pat who would argue black is white for the sake of it.

Other than that, no. I get accused of disliking people quite regularly when the reality is I've only ever disliked a handful of people on here over the years and wouldn't ever take mod actioned based on that - I always ask another mod to review something if I don't feel I can look on it objectively.

LuckyLloyd · 03-05-2015 07:55PM

Your post history is fair game if it relates to the topic at hand imo.

I've had plenty of robust conversations on here but never been party to a long running one on one fued that I know of anyway.

cloud493 · 03-05-2015 08:00PM

There was a dude a couple of years ago who decided I was a troll, called himself the troll hunter, said he made youtube videos about how much of a troll I was (never saw them) and hounded me from thread to thread. Had to report him so many times eventually so he stopped.

RonanP77 · 03-05-2015 08:01PM

One particular poster took offence to something I said about 8 months ago and has followed me around since trying to keep things going on numerous threads. I rise to the bait at times and ignore it at other times, it depends on my mood. They're a long time poster and I've only been here for a year so they seem to get away with thing others wouldn't. They have lots of cronies to dish out the likes or thanks.

They finally agreed with me on something about two weeks ago and I haven't heard from them since.

4zn76tysfajdxp · 03-05-2015 08:07PM

I try not to engage in feuds but there is one poster in particular who tends to emerge from the woodwork every once in a while to immediately posts a potshot of some sort at me after I reply in a thread. I'm not sure where it stems from but I do have a vague memory of calling him out on his spoofing in threads a few years ago. Bit of a sad case, tbh, but I hope he's well.

Not really. There are a few who I really disagree with on a lot of things, but I kind of like seeing them pop up in a thread because it's a bit of craic to have a spirited discussion with them. They're civil, articulate, and clearly intelligent.

There are dozens more who I disagree with and who just vomit the usual soundbytes all over the screen, but you figure out pretty quickly there's no point engaging with them. Wouldn't even remember their names, let alone get into a feud with them.

My 2 cents.

I agree with Tyson Purple Oat. I like a spirited discussion but at the end of the day

we all have our viewpoints right or wrong. In general you won't change a

person's viewpoint by posting a post but I have seen many other angles and

points of view on topics when people have posted. So the information I gain

adds to my understanding of an issue.

Feuds are a bit pointless - no one gains anything except high blood pressure.

PopePalpatine · 03-05-2015 08:13PM

Yep, there's certain posters who I'd hate to get in an elevator with, usually the sort who think locking up unmarried pregnant women and subjecting them to hard labour is totally fine, sort of like unrapey and pious Josef Fritzls.

TheBeardedLady · 03-05-2015 08:24PM

I'm great for the auld scrapping but I used to be worse. There was one fella when I first registered on Boards in 2007 who had it in for me. He closed his account but I always wonder is he on here still. He was an awful prick.

Frigga_92 · 03-05-2015 08:30PM

2 different posters set up second accounts simply to comment in threads agreeing with themselves and arguing with me

They ended up in dispute resolution or prison, can't remember. I didn't even realise this was going on until a friend of mine pointed it out. It was very funny :pac: It's mad that anyone would let something bother them that much.

If I notice a poster "following" me around and posting to simply disagree with me, I just add them to the ignore list, that's what it's for.

That's so sad if you think about it.

It's the Little fights that make it more enjoyable,other-wise it's like an echo chamber.It's fun to see 2 boards heavyweights going toe to toe,as long as it doesn't end up in multi quote mini novels.

Ah no, I can't do that. It happened on my old account anyway.
