As much as I think I get the ad—looking at it from a business owner's perspective, not a customer's—I just can't wrap my head around all this white crap everywhere. You know, everything people have already screenshotted, plus this:

• white
• crap

And honestly, the fixed width makes even less sense to me. 🙂

Exactly.

If you're talking about that blogger, maybe just search for "blogger Miller" on Facebook.

And honestly, maybe a dentist (like an orthodontist) too.

vividtiger922 said:Well, since nobody’s really complained about what they allow over there until now, I don't see why things should change suddenly. Either we start cracking down on it, or maybe the moderators should just admit they aren't even sure what's allowed and what isn't.

It's tolerated in the linguistics section, but not in the rest of DZ. Unfortunately, we didn't include that in the sub-forum rules, but I guess the long-time members probably already know.

EDIT: Are we seriously debating this because of some cardboard that mysteriously vanished again? I've noticed a weird tendency for DZ folks to dig through yellow cards and merged posts for months, but this is getting pretty ridiculous.

Justin Newman38 said:You’re still using the exact same approach, and honestly, what makes it even worse is that you haven't changed your tone either—it's still exactly like the part I bolded here.

You wrote seven posts here that are just incredibly offensive toward Catch-22, and yet he’s still hanging around this forum. Plus, he hasn't even shown up to defend himself.

In your very first post on this thread, you wrote: What an idiot. It got banned.
In the second one: back when I was really struggling with... What an idiot.
3. then: Man, this guy just reeks. Seriously. Just look around you. Seriously.
So then: everyone can see that it's... What an idiot.
5. i: just because one... What an idiot.
Well, you actually added: he was dodging his way out of... Total garbage. I guess I’m just feeling a little blue today.
And finally: it took me a long time to realize that... Psychopath.I totally agree with... Breaking someone's nose..

So you’re basically calling him a psychopath, and I think everyone else here realizes he's actually dealing with a disability, yet you’re sitting there saying you agree with breaking his nose. I guess what you're really doing is suggesting that we should all treat people like that.

And you still haven't been sanctioned for those seven posts. I really hope you get what's coming to you.

So, where did all that pride you have in being European go, then? 🙂

Why do you buy into his self-diagnosis just because it makes people feel sorry for him? It seems like you don't give any weight to anyone else's diagnosis unless it pulls at the heartstrings. I mean, obviously you didn't see the deleted posts, but at least you can see that people are complaining about how long it took to get them taken down.

I don't think Asperger’s should be used as an excuse for being a jerk. Honestly, you see so many people self-diagnosing these days—it feels like everyone claims it—and even if someone actually has a diagnosis, that still doesn't give them a free pass to be rude or insulting to everyone around them. It just isn't a valid justification for acting like that.
Even if someone’s dealing with a disability, man, the country is just absolutely crawling with people suffering from PTSD these days. I mean, seriously, should we just adopt every single one of them onto Reddit so we can sit here and listen to them vent their rage all day? And honestly, maybe before anyone even tries to register, they should probably just go take their dose of Normabel first.

Arthur Anderson49 said:The absolute worst part is how we’re all left here—people who usually get along pretty well and actually respect one another—tearing each other apart and creating this toxic atmosphere. It's all happening just because one jerk (whether he’s actually malicious or just mentally unwell, I guess, it doesn't really matter since the fallout is the same) wasn't called out and didn't face any consequences when he should have.

It’s not helping anyone. Definitely not helping me. So, I think I’m going to step away from this. I don't have anything else to add that I haven't already said, and honestly, participating in this debate feels gross. There's zero point to it, and frankly, it just stinks.

slywolf45 said:For crying out loud, stop the drama! 🤦

See? That’s the voice of reason right there. 🙏

Justin Newman38 said:Because you're the only one left—out of the people he actually expressed sympathy toward. And we all saw how that turned out.

His second post on the "Bread..." thread was:

"Oh man, will anyone ever accept me on this subreddit? I'm just lonely, a small, pathetic little guy, and a narrow-minded person. What does a man have to do to be accepted by an online community?

The truth is, I'm just trying to communicate with you guys and not feel so isolated living in this damn middle-of-nowhere town.

I really like many of you: Judas, Arthur Anderson49, silvercyclist32, Hercules, Lester, etc. I feel a certain closeness with you guys (...). I just want to feel like I belong somewhere..."

Look, this is Reddit. Reddit isn't the place to worry about self-diagnosed mental health issues. All this talk about "closeness" and "please let me stay, I feel so safe with you all" is stuff I've heard from plenty of trolls and flamers before. It's the same old "oops, I insulted everyone but I didn't mean to, that's just how I am" routine. The moderators aren't doctors, therapists, or parents; I think they might be taking themselves a bit too seriously.
