No moderator in Alternative Medicine

So, was the topic really about our butts being red as tomatoes??? 😁

Check the links in my signature; that’s just a tiny sample since all your gems are disappearing, and honestly, I actually find these ones kind of endearing 👍

Look, here we go again—why are you lying? Did you actually call me that fat, greasy Kremenko who went along on Ibrahim's supposed little outing? Yes or No?

And did I just sit there and take that crap (I even put it in my profile description 😉), or did I let it slide?

Well, here we go again... looks like this thread is just turning into another dumping ground where monty-zg can vent all his bitterness, pour out his frustrations, and just take cheap shots at everyone else on the board. It’s pretty obvious from a mile away—he's been relentlessly picking on certain users for absolutely no reason, and honestly, he's been doing it for months now.
When does this even end????

By the way, let me clear up one more "crime" people keep accusing me of:

Call Klistirk whatever you want, but I’m just using the nickname from that trip we supposedly went on together.

It’s funny how the same person digs their own grave by citing some nurse in Aspen who isn't even a nurse—just like those various doctors and scientists that pseudo-alternative gurus love to quote, only for it to turn out they were faking their credentials or got totally discredited for lying. Honestly, that pathetic, unstable individual is the perfect symbol for the pseudo-science crowd trying to force their way in and act like experts on things they don't understand at all.

Ibrahim pointed to that one miserable, mentally unstable person in Aspen as proof that medicine is useless. Who did I offend by saying that? Am I sorry? Yes. Does it involve certain mental health issues? Sure. And who did I actually hurt? 🤷

On the flip side, pseudo-alternative types constantly point to weirdos who lied about their degrees or forged data. Whatever. ☕

Alright, now that my brain is actually functioning better than it was last night, I can finally give our friend Abraham Lincoln a proper, polite response right here in front of everyone.

Ethan Barrett22 said:What pot?
Which picture?
What data?

Since you're now publicly "playing dumb" (which is a violation of Rule 15 of the General Community Guidelines), and since I've realized that being totally clueless really messes with a person's cognitive abilities (it's like you can't even process what you've read), let me refresh your memory:

We are talking about THIS specific post and THIS photo—something you definitely couldn't have stumbled upon among the two billion daily images on the internet WITHOUT DIGGING THROUGH MY PRIVATE DATA. By doing that, you DIRECTLY violated Rules 1-5 and 10-13 of the Reddit community guidelines. Plus, you're playing the "clueless" card again.
The truth is, you're just acting out because I publicly poked fun at those "recipes" of yours for that unrefined, amateurish sauce that you claim "goes best with pasta or rice" (honestly, I could probably drop a link to that "masterpiece" too). You play this radical, anti-intellectual character and bash everyone else, then you lose your mind when you realize you got caught in a ridiculous lie regarding a recipe meant for cooked rice and pasta (you claim to be vegan, yet there are eggs in the dough, so you tried to pivot and say it was zucchini noodles, but we both know it was RICE).
You were so worked up by that that you decided to go on a personal vendetta using the little group you coordinate with to target other users on the site.

Ethan Barrett22 said:You're toast. 🤦

Actually, no—you're the one who's toast. You're breaking state laws, you're breaking Reddit rules, you're breaking basic standards of civilization, you're breaking the rules of decent behavior, and you're ignoring the unwritten rules of how people communicate on forums and the internet.

Ethan Barrett22 said:What non-profit organization?

Considering you openly posted about "how you went on a trip with friends" back when you mentioned those old tools, and I mean literally: "It just occurred to me regarding that...we were together some years ago as a little group and we frequently went on trips together, going swimming, hiking, and stuff like that.
And I even brought along a friend from the crew of some "new" guy in the group..., an acquaintance of mine who was quite chubby, hilarious, and honestly just a massive foodie.
Get this: the guy was such a glutton that whenever we went on hiking trips, he’d lug around a portable camping stove and a little pot just to cook up his own meals right there on the trail—all because of the very habits that made him so overweight. And yeah, we definitely poked fun at him for it.

It’s pretty funny how you didn't realize that trip was actually organized by a non-profit organization, and you weren't even a member of that group! So, here’s the deal: since I was part of the executive board of the non-profit and my friend brought you along, it makes sense why you were barely noticed. That’s exactly why we teased you about hiding behind a rock—you probably weren't even hanging out with us, you were the only one staying to ourselves.
See what happens when you try to roast a photo without knowing the backstory?

But hey, you're still clearly fuming! You decided to go digging and somehow tracked down a phone number (which has been listed in the directory for years now) and started sending these absolutely disgusting messages. Only problem is, you sent them to the wrong person. When I tell you THAT YOU ARE TRASH FOR BEING A 40-YEAR-OLD MAN SENDING FILTH TO A 70-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FROM A HIDDEN NUMBER, you still think you can act tough here? Give me a break.

Ethan Barrett22 said:Your accusations are just as brilliant as your logic.
And honestly, that attempt you made through the Democratic Party was just laughable; I knew it was you immediately because of your constant attacks and hateful rhetoric. 😁
Are you going to try that again?

Listen, I AM NOW PUBLICLY GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO POST EVERY SINGLE PRIVATE MESSAGE I EVER SENT YOU. I WANT YOU TO POST THEM ALL PUBLICLY FOR EVERYONE TO SEE SO WE CAN ALL WITNESS THE "HATE SPEECH" I SUPPOSEDLY DIRECTED AT YOU.
But I am telling you, you are blatantly LYING. You're backed into a corner, caught red-handed, and just snapping wildly because you've been exposed. But the truth is, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO POST.

So please, bring those messages into the light!!

Ethan Barrett22 said:Look, people of your caliber don't offend me, and you really should have realized that by now—even though you've spent about a year trying your absolute hardest to insult me in every way possible.
You simply can't, get it? 🙂

It's not even that I want to insult you. When I insult people, I usually still hold some level of respect for them. But you? I don't respect you one bit. Honestly, the biggest insult is just being yourself. You've shown everyone exactly who you are, and that's more than enough for the next few years. Besides, the people "moderating" this thread certainly have plenty of material to work with regarding you and your posts.

Seriously, when does this end????

It ends when the people actually starting these fights are finally held accountable. People need to realize that just because some threads aren't being moderated doesn't mean they have a free pass to act however they want.

By the way, if we're looking at this specific thread, the whole mess was kicked off by THIS post. Who even wrote it? It was someone who decided to reignite everything without any provocation, even after @body_halleck ALREADY CLOSED a similar thread. They just went on a targeted rant against the same group of users who clearly rub them the wrong way. Plus, it's kind of funny how YOU supported the thread getting trashed, but now you're calling people out for doing the exact same thing.

But yeah, I totally agree that enough is enough. We really need to make this platform a true alternative instead of some chaotic psych-session for people talking nonsense.
🍿

Ethan Barrett22 said:Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue what they even based that on!
Never! Hey, just to be clear—I wasn't quoting anyone I have on my ignore list!
Who on earth is claiming that? Seriously, they’ve clearly lost their marbles! That’s just plain wrong.
Ugh, here we go again with yet another baseless insinuation. Seriously? It’s just one of those things that you can't really prove, no matter how hard you try!

Ethan Brooks59 said:Beyond that, the data they shared makes it crystal clear that Ibrahim-Pr has been going on these wild, frantic hunting trips across the web and various other forums. They’re basically stalking users to dig up private info just so they can weaponize it in different threads. It's all part of this pattern where they throw out cheap ad hominem attacks, banking on the fact that there's zero moderation around here to actually hold them accountable!

So, where am I even supposed to present them? I'm totally stumped!
Hey there! Honestly, I totally get why you're asking—it can definitely be a little frustrating when you're looking for more info and don't see a direct path to it! I really should have included those links if they were available, so my bad on that one. I’ll try to be much more diligent about dropping them in moving forward so nobody has to go hunting for the details like I sometimes do! Thanks for keeping me on my toes! 🐔
As you can see, I’ve laid everything out right there for you! Back it up with some links!

And it says it RIGHT THERE in my signature, loud and clear!
I've gone ahead and cleared that list out for you! Everything is set.

What else can I even say? Honestly, I’m at a bit of a loss here! 🤦

I honestly don't know how I ever functioned without this! It’s like I’ve been walking around in a fog, and suddenly someone just flipped a switch and turned on all the lights. Everything feels so much clearer now. It’s actually kind of hilarious looking back at how much I was struggling with things that should have been simple. I feel like a total amateur, but hey, better late than never, right? I am absolutely buzzing with excitement to finally dive into this properly! kaže:
Oh man, come on now! Don't go picking and choosing only the parts of my argument that suit you—that’s just selective quoting! Are you seriously trying to claim I started some kind of ridiculous crusade against people's rear ends? That is wild! 😁
So, have you guys actually started with those vivid descriptions of crap and turds yet? Honestly, I feel a little awkward even bringing up everything you all have written here! 😉

stormyrider28 said:Nope.
...
Look, you’ve never actually stuck to the topic anyway! You just spend the whole time making jokes and throwing insults around instead of actually contributing. Honestly!Hey, if you’ve got any links lying around, toss them my way! I'd love to see what you've found.

So, you’re basically telling me that you're lying to GNU!

Hey, GNU! This one’s for you—everyone, take a good look! GNU Magic!
Just a quick heads-up: the topic we're diving into is... Vaccination!Anyway, I’m totally veering off on a tangent here!

Linda Harris44 said:So, yep, looks like this thread is turning into another dumping ground where monty-zg can just vent his bitterness and start insulting people. It’s honestly so obvious from an airplane view—he’s been relentlessly attacking certain users for absolutely no reason for months now.
When does it actually end????

It’s never going to end. Every single time I tried to point out when people were breaking the rules on these American forums, the threads just got locked. And don't even get me started on the insults.

Kimberly Ward said:It honestly feels like a never-ending cycle because every time I’ve tried to point out when people are breaking the community guidelines, the threads just get locked up.And don't even get me started on the personal insults..

Did someone call you a psychopath? Or an old hag? Or something along those lines? I didn't see it myself, but I certainly saw this:""Oh Mr. Psychopath, why don't you tell us all about your time in the asylum? Since I'm actually out here living my life," and "I hope you haven't lost your mind to rage yet," "the issue is really you and your sheer stupidity," "your problem," or "What an absolute moron." You’re just cycling through the same tired insults whenever it suits you. And honestly, you've managed to come across as nothing more than a total loser or some grumpy old fossil. You have all the tolerance of a concrete sidewalk, yet your eyes are practically radiating fury. You spend all this time putting yourself on a pedestal, but you're acting worse than a toddler having a meltdown.."

No, no, no...🙄

Ethan Barrett22 said:You got a link?

But even if I did—so what?

What on earth does that have to do with the actual topic?

Look, you constantly start your sentences with lowercase letters, which means you're making at least one mistake in every single thing you write. 🙂

And you think radise is actually correct? 😂

Elementary school, buddy, elementary school level stuff right there... 🥱

🙂

😬 look, Ibrahim-Pr, don't be an idiot again. I always type in lowercase on this forum, and even my username is all lowercase. Besides, I know exactly what infinitesimal means. Anyway, just look at what SusFerox told you:

urbangull90 said:That's the difference, Ibrice, between a simple typo (like hitting the wrong key 😬) and straight-up ignorance. 😒

SF

Besides, the jab about the bad grammar was only meant to stop you from using a word when you clearly don't even know what it means.

Ethan Barrett22 said:Honestly, I have absolutely no clue what on earth Jerry White29 is pulling out of thin air here.
It would be the decent thing to do if he just came clean for once.

Abraham Lincoln, you’re becoming a pathetic figure to watch. Are you planning on apologizing to Monty for calling his cell phone? Or maybe you'll apologize to him for those ridiculous claims about whether he's my clone or I'm his? How about an apology to Jedounumlj?
Actually, what I really want to know is if you're ever going to apologize to everyone on this board for dropping links to total garbage from those bottom-tier tabloid sites.

Ethan Barrett22 said:I HAVE NEVER quoted anyone who is currently on my ignore list.

Anyone claiming otherwise is either completely delusional or straight-up lying.

Maybe not directly, but you certainly did it indirectly.

Ethan Barrett22 said:Can I make a polite request here?

...
If you disagree with someone, just say so clearly, calmly, and civilly, backed up by actual facts, without resorting to insults or acting like a Neanderthal.
Is it really too much to ask for people to communicate without being abusive?

Here’s another perfect example of what I was talking about earlier:
you linked this page
which claims to be citing certain "scientific studies."
The problem is, the journal they’re referencing—which means you’re indirectly doing the same—doesn't even exist.
So basically, you linked to a lie.
Look, regardless of what your actual opinion is, your post isn't constructive because the article you shared relies on research that was never actually conducted. That is a falsehood.
It wouldn't have hurt to mention that the "scientific journal" cited doesn't exist and never has. I went ahead and searched through major American scientific databases myself, and that journal is nowhere to be found. The entire article you linked, Abraham Lincoln, is nothing more than a massive fabrication.
