Just quit. Seriously, just quit. There's no way you're winning this one.

Chloe Moore5 said:You can tell just by your tone that you came here looking for a fight, trying to play the big man. Just drop the whole communist crimes routine and give a nod to the leaders who actually tried to wipe out fascism. We "powerless trolls" without any real arguments would love to dive into the actual title topic...

So, basically, you ban authors from suicide-by-curiosity until they hit a certain age, then suggest they skip the hanging or jumping off buildings and go straight for a dose of morphine instead. It’s much easier on everyone that way.
Until then, maybe try looking at things from our perspective...

From what I can tell, that’s actually what they’re attempting... treating thoughts about suicide as nothing more than a mental exercise. It reminds me of how Osho used to suggest his followers visualize their own deaths right before falling asleep just to drift off. Or like those ascetic types who wander through cremation grounds and drink from skulls. Even shamans "travel" to the afterlife to consult with deceased ancestors for advice on solving modern problems.

All of that is fine, I guess... but honestly, life here is interesting enough as it is, and death will find us when it finds us eventually.

neonmarlin39 said:Just because I’m trying to be logical and sane while dealing with trolls doesn't mean I'm the one starting this. It’s pretty obvious who's kicking things off, who's being insulting, and who's trolling. Like look at Joseph Bailey41 just hallucinating and trolling, then acting like nothing happened when someone points out those hallucinations. If anyone actually stays objective—unlike some people who clearly just hopped onto this thread specifically to hunt you down 😉—they'll see what's happening.

Honestly, I don't give a damn about all the atrocities—fascist, communist, capitalist, Nazi, whatever. We were mostly talking about Stalin and Mao Zedong if you really want to get into it, so I don't see why I should be thanking them. That's like saying I should thank Hitler. You're talking nonsense.

Whatever, go ahead. Feel free to post about the actual subject instead of making everything about me like you guys started doing (seriously, check the thread; some people haven't even touched the topic, they just swooped in with insults 😁)...

🥱

You can do better than that.

neonmarlin39 said:So you're just listing off whatever diagnoses come to mind now?

You think I'm annoying this small group of insecure trolls just because they're too helpless to actually make an argument. Just think back to that one thread where I was citing legit academic sources regarding the number of communist crimes—real analytical stuff—and you just started throwing insults. Seriously, take a look at yourself and remember all those times you've been trolling while spending 24 hours a day hanging out on this forum. Feel free to shut up; I know I'm bugging you since you've already lost every single fight you've picked with me. It's actually kind of sad. 😁

You don't annoy me; you actually make me laugh. (Except for those times when you try to be funny... your spontaneous slapstick fails are much more entertaining. 😉 )

neonmarlin39 said:Well, maybe to you and people like you. Honestly, if they don't make sense, just skip 'em next time. No point wasting your breath on stuff you can't wrap your head around anyway. Like, can you even make sense of post #24?

🤦 This is getting ridiculous 🤦
You aren't "seeing" anything, you're just talking nonsense and trolling like usual.

Fair enough. I'm not entirely sure what triggered such a heated reaction, but I think I see what you mean. Ajmoreć, I guess I just have a knack for getting under people's skin.

neonmarlin39 said:Here's another 🤣

About my posts. I can only answer for myself, not for you. My take is already laid out in my previous posts on this thread—just give them a read. Plus, that exact same question has already been asked before. Clearer now?

Your posts are honestly pretty hard to follow. At first, I thought you were just being a bad troll, but now I’m starting to worry that there might be some encouragement of self-harm buried in there.

Please, tell me I'm wrong about that second part. (And just to be clear, I'm not praying here; I'm making a plea.)

mistybison said:Happy Valentine's Day! 🙂

The love in this thread is absolutely overflowing! 😁

😘

neonmarlin39 said:Still way less than if you added up all your trolling on this board. Out of 22,009 posts, I bet there aren't even 10 where you aren't being a troll or picking at people. What do you think?

That's like ten million times over. 😲

Pretty big number, right?

neonmarlin39 said:Desperation, low blows, zero class, total lack of self-control... you name it.

And sure, I'm sure there's a whole list of excuses ready for him. 😁

The "limit" happened basically at the jump because he hit it so fast. And let’s be real, it’s straight-up hypocritical to call someone an idiot while lecturing them about being rude or disrespectful when their posts are actually ten million times more civil than his constant insults.🙄

Do you even realize how much ten million times actually is?

neonmarlin39 said:So if I actually called someone an idiot, would that suddenly make me "polite" in your book? That was a rhetorical question—don't bother answering, because we both know what you'd say. Or better yet, Joseph Bailey41, no matter what I say or what anyone else says, I already know whose side you're gonna jump on. You just can't wait to start poking at me, right? It's not even the first time you've come for me like this, picking fights that have nothing to do with the actual topic and everything to do with just targeting whoever you've decided to mess with in the moment. 🙄

I'll type extra slow this time so you don't have to rush through reading it. Look, I don't support calling people names. As for the actual subject at hand, you're free to discuss it, and honestly, I have no idea what's stopping you.

neonmarlin39 said:Look, I already gave you a straight-up NO on that. I don't know why you're still dragging this out like it’s some big debate. And honestly? I’m totally lost—where did I even say it was from a movie or a show or whatever? I never said that. 🤔 See, now you get what I mean when I say you're totally hallucinating a little bit.

I’m not even trying to be hype, I'm just being real—this kind of nonsense doesn't fly with me. And honestly, you should take a look at your own track record. You've done plenty of trolling and throwing insults yourself, and it feels like you're still doing the exact same thing right now. Just scroll through the thread and read your own posts. 🤣 Either you’re totally blind to this—and let’s be real, we both know you’ve had trouble seeing certain facts before—or what? This guy just swerves into my life, calls me an idiot, and then has the nerve to turn it around and claim *I'm* the rude one? Now he's acting like I'm being insensitive? Give me a break.🤣Man, before that, you just see people jumping into the thread, guessing at what's being said, and typing whatever nonsense they want about razors or postage. Some lady actually took my random comment—I literally just asked, "Do you even realize how massive the universe is?"—and she somehow turned it into this whole massive debate we're stuck in right now...

Alright then... what was the actual point of that comment? Did you honestly believe that Chloe Moore5 had absolutely no concept of how vast the universe actually is, or...?🤔

BTW: I don't advocate calling people names... but do you really think you were being polite here?

Chloe Moore5 said:Don't fall for it. That's just how they work—spout a bunch of negativity, then immediately pivot to "I was just joking!" or "It's just humor, man, we're on a public forum."

Being on a forum doesn't give you a free pass to ignore basic decency. Honestly, it seems like some people just struggle with social cues. This could have actually been a productive conversation, but instead, it turned into neonmarlin39 making excuses for being insulting and condescending toward everyone else... which isn't really worth my time.

I don't know... I sometimes feel like he just struggles to express himself properly. For instance, you can see he mixes up basic words. Maybe he's dealing with dyslexia or something on the spectrum, and it wouldn't be right for us to judge him for that.

neonmarlin39 said:🤣 What is even happening here today?? Why is everyone losing their minds? Even the stuff on Reddit feels chill compared to this thread, with people just jumping in with all this nonsense and hallucinated garbage. It's wild 🤣 So what exactly are you tripping on right now? Come on, let me wrap you up too 😁

I'm not hallucinating anything. I was just asking a question. And I deleted the quoted post as soon as I saw you actually replied to me. I have no clue why you're so worked up today. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? 🤷

neonmarlin39 said:Nah. What's BBT? 🤔

The Big Bang Theory.

Where did that come from? Honestly, if we had some context, it would probably be a lot easier to follow what's going on here.

neonmarlin39 said:What are you even talking about?? Seriously, what is your deal? And honestly, with your little outbursts—or those weird rants from that Saturday Night Live guy up there where his post makes zero sense and he’s just trying to act smart while totally misinterpreting everything he quotes, which ends up looking ridiculous (since I clearly pointed out that suicide and sacrificing your life for a noble cause aren't the same thing, so I don't know what he's seeing or what he's on to be hallucinating like that)—or when someone quotes you for the first time asking "Do you know how big the universe is?" and you immediately start begging them not to mess with you, calling them rude and threatening to take the conversation elsewhere... like, what kind of reaction are you actually expecting here? A round of applause? A standing ovation? What exactly?

And how would we talk "differently"? Like, do you even get my answer to your request? Is everything clear and following the rules? You could have just ignored me if you didn't like it and that's that...
If you think something is rude or breaks the site rules, just hit the report button, it's that simple. Then you can see if the mods agree with you. You can't really demand that people stop quoting your posts just because you feel like it, especially when you call them rude for explaining basic forum etiquette. Honestly, it makes no sense to expect people on a public American forum not to quote you in a thread. If you don't want that, then just don't post, problem solved... it should be obvious, and we wouldn't even need to be having this whole conversation.

Elvis Presley 🤣 Okay... you didn't get what I was getting at at all when I asked if you knew how big the universe was. Whatever, doesn't matter anymore.

What exactly am I "not getting"? Seriously, look at how this conversation actually went down.

Everyone getting all worked up over this topic... 🤣

Is that a joke from a show? Like, The Big Bang Theory? 🤔

neonmarlin39 said:Getting a little heavy today, huh? Do you even know what humor is, let alone how to spot it—especially when it involves 😁 at the end?

Hallucinating after they're gone? Or are you talking about someone taking a lethal dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms to end it all? 😁

Btw, I'm actually curious if there's ever been a single case where someone committed suicide just out of pure curiosity. Usually, Suicide prevention awareness tells us it's an act done while someone is in a really bad headspace. Like, if you jump in front of a bullet to save a loved one, that's not suicide in that sense, that's just being a hero. Maybe this author's curiosity is just a cover for some kind of negative mental state?

Hmm... does irony and sarcasm count as humor? Asking for a friend. 😁

What I mean is that visions of heaven and hell are just hallucinations. Like those tunnels, the light at the end, seeing deceased great-grandmas, and all that jazz. Just images the brain produces right before it shuts down. So, if he's really at that point, he might as well just trip on some acid or something and see a funny frog or whatever.

I tried asking him exactly what's going on, but he doesn't seem very interested in talking. Maybe he's just satisfied with the attention his morbid posts get, maybe he really intends to check out for reasons only he knows, or maybe he's just lost in the woods. Who knows.

neonmarlin39 said:It's probably gonna go down like 😁

Will it? As far as I know, a person's cognitive abilities pretty much stop working after a successful suicide... and even an unsuccessful attempt can leave you a bit damaged. 🤷

They won't be able to know for sure. They might just hallucinate. And there are plenty of mushrooms or other things out there that could cause that.

From what I can tell, this fixation you have on death has been going on for years... honestly, it feels like there's something deeper at play here than just simple curiosity. What was it that originally drew you into this subject?

David Vaughn75 said:Look, Flying is just one of those forum trolls who posts memes and laughs at people; I didn't see her explaining a single thing to me

But whatever, let's look at her little story and what I was actually getting at: imagine some Zen master tells a Warrior, "Just maintain a good state of consciousness and you'll find paradise." The Warrior would probably ask if the guy had eaten some bad mushrooms. The whole story loses its entire meaning if the Warrior doesn't lose his cool and draw his sword😉. That's my whole damn point

It’s a story. It had to unfold exactly the way the author envisioned it in order to get the message across. If they had just written, "paradise is a state of mind," it wouldn't have created that necessary emotional impact for the reader. None of this has anything to do with the idea that "you have to experience hell to know what heaven is"—because that's nonsense. You don't need to eat styrofoam to realize that chocolate tastes good.

Look, I know I can be a bit snarky sometimes... but I really didn't mean it that way this time. I was just building on what Thor said because I agree with him, and I didn't feel like writing an entire manifesto. You don't always have to take everything so personally. I mean, sure, you can if it makes you happy... some people just love being outraged; for them, that isn't hell, it's, I don't know, Valhalla... but I'm really not the type to tell other people how they should think or feel.

David Vaughn75 said:I think I actually nailed the point I was trying to make

Fair enough. 🤣 👍

But I don't think you actually caught the essence of the story. 🕺
