Moderation on the "small and thin dick" thread

Hey, question for Nice — would you be a sweetheart and take a look through this thread? I’m trying to figure out if I can call people out on what they actually need when the urge hits, or if I’m allowed to tell someone they’re straight-up delusional (especially given all those other messy, overly personal posts floating around).

I mean, I’d love to vent a little too, since apparently the favorites get a free pass here.

Really hoping you guys don't let this thread turn into a total spam fest.

Didn't you basically start a mini flame war yourself by calling out more than five forum members to post their photos, or at least do it if they don't want this topic to stall? 🍿

Look, hasn't this thread hit 71 pages now? Isn't more than half the content just pure spam, trolling, or straight-up insults?

And let's be real—hasn't the expert team been dropping the same old "diagnoses," insults, and provocations for ages without anyone actually getting banned?

I made sure to report the specific posts tonight. I did my part.

Why is it that whenever someone holds a minority opinion on this topic, the majority just attacks them personally? It’s always the same style: 🙂 'Oh, if you're saying that, you probably need a microscope just to find it.' Or 🙂 'If you think that, you must be ugly, deformed, desperate, and then some...'

And why are comments like, 'Check out that avatar, it's hideous,' or 'Wow, that's actually cute, haha,' even allowed? 😕

It seems pretty logical that after seeing all that junk, you'd want to see who you're actually talking to—offering to show your own side, too.

Do those kinds of posts—which make up most of this thread—actually add any value to this forum?

Most importantly: are we all just going to start playing these petty games?

By the way—didn't I already reach out to Nice?

It’s the same thing you do—constantly throwing shade at anyone who doesn't see things exactly your way.

That’s irrelevant to what I was actually asking. Besides, people were already reporting your posts too.

Less meddling, please. You already said it’s about the proportions, not the face. It's pretty clear you weren't actually interested in "seeing" who you were talking to in the first place.

Look, let me be crystal clear: I moderate this PDF exactly how I see fit. You can't just bypass the moderators and try to jump straight to an Admin without us weighing in first. It’s all laid out right there—you handle your own business, and you do it by the book.

I don't recall anyone actually having the authority to set a rule like, "Either post your photos or this thread gets locked." It’s not like this is the first time you've tried to escalate things just to get the whole thread locked down.

You're delusional. 🤣

No, that’s not what I meant. I was just demonstrating how this "discussion" actually works. I just skimmed through the first quarter of the thread again to be sure, but I get the gist. The first "victim" who tried to offer a different perspective was von Teese. After getting mocked by the same little clique of users over and over, she just gave up. Then there was Velia. She ended up starting her own separate thread because she was clearly fed up with the trolling in this one. It’s funny how the provocations throughout the whole thread pretty much come from the same handful of people.

Then I jumped in. I stayed longer, tried to frame a different viewpoint. But everything kept being dragged down to a personal level. Other users chimed in too, including some kid whose small and thin dick is basically a psychological complex. He even started a poll because of this thread—and what happened? He backed off. No other choice. 🙂

There are certain posts here I'd rather not quote.

Do you honestly still think the way people are talking in this thread is okay? Or should users here learn that they're all replaceable? That they shouldn't "ripple" against the tide? It reminds me of "learned helplessness." It's that concept where you're never right unless you have actual power or belong to the majority. No matter what you write, you're wrong. 🙂

And let's not forget—I didn't set a condition. I made a suggestion. I did it specifically because of how this thread is playing out—just the same few people circling the drain over and over.

Delusional is just common slang (Someone who isn't seeing things clearly, or expects something to happen when it really won't. It's used for people clinging to an idea that's totally wrong or outdated.) and it isn't an insult or a medical diagnosis in everyday American conversation—kind of like saying "you're tripping" in casual talk. It's definitely not meant to be a slur. Just like how OMG girl, you're so crazy 😁 isn't a clinical diagnosis or the same thing as saying: I think you should see someone, because you have serious mental problems.

It's the same logic as calling someone's actions "perfidious" (sneaky or malicious). That's not an insult! It’s just a descriptive way to call out someone's words or deeds. (And yeah, I mentioned being called "perfidious" before as a problematic way to communicate)

Following that same logic, look at stuff like

Frank Williams7 said:because no sane person (except professionals and their clients) has sex with an object instead of a person.

That would be a (blatant) insult or a diagnosis, labeling everyone outside those parameters as "insane." Plus, it basically implies anyone who thinks differently is a slut.
Or even something like

Frank Williams7 said:I don't feel like explaining this to you since you can't grasp it anyway.

That's an insult by implying someone is mentally deficient. People would call that making it personal.

But honestly, none of this is an insult, nor should it be flagged as one. This kind of free-flowing, casual speech is totally standard for a forum or just regular American conversation. Like one user put it:

Frank Williams7 said:Instead of saying 'every sane person,' I could have just said 'most people.'

There's a whole list of terms and phrases used for observations, descriptions, arguments, whatever—all within the realm of normal, slightly edgy conversation, without being insults. Real (blatant) insults would be stuff like "you're stupid," "idiot," "slut," or "where did you crawl out from?" and so on. We don't allow that kind of stuff here.

Plus, the forum rules clearly state Intimate topics. Some subjects require language that might not be suitable for very young (or very old) audiences. Or sensitive topics, which has been mentioned a million times.

I'll definitely take a look at the topic, but give me a little bit of breathing room first. It's Easter, and I really want to focus on spending quality time with my family. I'll still be popping onto the forum to handle anything urgent or critical, but I just won't have the bandwidth to slog through 70+ pages of discussion over the next couple of days. Since this thread has been around for quite a while anyway, I'm sure it can wait a tiny bit.

Anyway, Happy Easter to you, and I wish everyone nothing but the best! 🙂

So, how did I end up being tagged just to answer my own post? (That was a rhetorical question, by the way.)

Look, my way of thinking is solid. It’s been field-tested. I wouldn't be able to hold down the job I have if I couldn't take a pile of raw data, tear it apart, synthesize it on the fly, and make the right call every single time. If I wasn't capable of that kind of quick, accurate analysis, I wouldn't be sitting here. Simple as that.

Just so we’re clear—my job isn't something I'm going to be discussing on this thread or any other. So, don't even bother trying to steer the conversation that way. Save your breath.

Basically, we're looking at a total shot in the dark here.

dustyranger64 said:So, what, am I supposed to just sit here and expect you not to be a total hypocrite? You aren't even trying to follow the rules; you’re basically living out a double standard.

Delusions about being followed? That’s some heavy-duty stuff right there. Honestly, that kind of thinking is exactly what you need a specific diagnosis for.

I’m worried you've gone off the deep end and started targeting some random person just because you're in one of your paranoid streaks.

This is a whole different ballgame. I mean, sure, there are some surface-level similarities to what I was saying before, but we’re talking about something entirely different here. We're talking about a diagnosis for a severe mental illness. That changes everything.

Question—do you actually have the credentials to be making claims like that?

If you actually are, how exactly are you handling your internship?

Would you actually pull this stunt at your job?

If not them, then who else here thinks they have a problem?

You're asking me the exact same thing I already complained about on this thread. Seriously?

dustyranger64 said:Look, I’m all for staying out of people's business. Mocking someone online just because they had a run of bad luck? Yeah, that's low, and I don't support it, nor will I ever. But honestly, I’m struggling to find the line here. At what point did the truth become socially unacceptable while feelings became a constitutionally protected right? I really don't know.

For most people, that’s the exact moment things hit a wall—the second the person on the other end says, "Hey, you offended me."

When it comes to what people colloquially call a small and thin dick, things get complicated fast. Everyone on this thread seems to act like having one means you’re basically broken or non-functional. It’s a rigged game. If you’re reading this and you don't meet the "forum-approved" standard for size, you're stuck. You don't have a choice. Everyone else? They’ve got options. The heavy guys can lose weight, the skinny guys can bulk up, people can get breast surgery, nose jobs, whatever—they can tweak their look. But if you're dealing with that specific issue, there isn't a quick fix. You're just left sitting there.

That’s just plain wrong. Saying they aren't functional is a lie. Sexual dysfunction isn't some direct reflection of how long a guy is equipped, and performance issues hit everyone just the same, regardless of size. But I know if I say that out loud, I'm just asking for a mob mentality reaction. 🙂 "You've come here to explain things to us"—honestly, this whole thread feels like a bunch of thirteen-year-olds bickering during recess. It’s that exact level of immature back-and-forth, except it’s happening on a public platform where everyone can see it. Not exactly my finest hour.

dustyranger64 said:That kind of stuff isn't even allowed.

Once mod / Supermod, always a Mod/Supermod? This whole attitude—acting all high and mighty like "you mere mortals can't touch me"—that comes from you, Colbert, and ZgSash. It’s part of the recurring problem here. If you were relatively new to a forum, you’d definitely notice it, though that doesn't mean you'd actually fight back against that mindset. ZgSash takes it even further, smugly claiming that only losers would care about someone with a small and thin dick that doesn't meet certain "forum standards." Is that a public insult? Is there any sanction for that? Let's say some girl says she has a great body (if you can even call it that), but she has standards for the guy she sleeps with, and she won't settle for less—because, hey, knows she won't be satisfied that way. It’s pure mythology. And I hate myths, which is why I'm making such a big deal out of this.

I suggested we see who stands behind certain views because I think people might be surprised by the results.

dustyranger64 said:Or they're just overly sensitive, which has been said a million times.

That doesn't mean sensitive people aren't allowed to chime in on any topic. It just means they're going to get provoked in the exact same way, mostly by the same small group of people, of which you're one of the ringleaders.

Yeah, it's not. You don't even have to bother if you don't feel like it.

There's also the easy way out: I just walk away. I won't be the first or the last to do it. I'm still weighing whether it's the right move, but most likely it is, since my free time isn't exactly infinite anyway.

If you’re reading this and you don't meet the "forum-approved" standard for size, you're stuck. You don't have a choice. Everyone else? They’ve got options. The heavy guys can lose weight, the skinny guys can bulk up, people can get breast surgery, nose jobs, whatever—they can tweak their look. But if you're dealing with that specific issue, there isn't a quick fix. You're just left sitting there.

That’s just plain wrong. Saying they aren't functional is a lie. Sexual dysfunction isn't some direct reflection of how long a guy is equipped, and performance issues hit everyone just the same, regardless of size. But I know if I say that out loud, I'm just asking for a mob mentality reaction. 🙂 "You've come here to explain things to us"—honestly, this whole thread feels like a bunch of thirteen-year-olds bickering during recess. It’s that exact level of immature back-and-forth, except it’s happening on a public platform where everyone can see it. Not exactly my finest hour.

Once mod / Supermod, always a Mod/Supermod? This whole attitude—acting all high and mighty like "you mere mortals can't touch me"—that comes from you, Colbert, and ZgSash. It’s part of the recurring problem here. If you were relatively new to a forum, you’d definitely notice it, though that doesn't mean you'd actually fight back against that mindset. ZgSash takes it even further, smugly claiming that only losers would care about someone with a small and thin dick that doesn't meet certain "forum standards." Is that a public insult? Is there any sanction for that? Let's say some girl says she has a great body (if you can even call it that), but she has standards for the guy she sleeps with, and she won't settle for less—because, hey, knows she won't be satisfied that way. It’s pure mythology. And I hate myths, which is why I'm making such a big deal out of this.

I suggested we see who stands behind certain views because I think people might be surprised by the results.

That doesn't mean sensitive people aren't allowed to chime in on any topic. It just means they're going to get provoked in the exact same way, mostly by the same small group of people, of which you're one of the ringleaders.

Yeah, it's not. You don't even have to bother if you don't feel like it.

There's also the easy way out: I just walk away. I won't be the first or the last to do it. I'm still weighing whether it's the right move, but most likely it is, since my free time isn't exactly infinite anyway.

Look, my way of thinking is solid. I know that because if it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to do my job. I have to be able to crunch data fast, make sense of it all on my own, and then actually make the right call based on what's in front of me. It works! Just a heads-up though—my profession isn't really something I’m going to dive into on this thread or any other. Not interested in taking things in that direction.

Frank Williams7 said:So, how did I end up being tagged just to answer my own post? (That was a rhetorical question, by the way.)

Look, my way of thinking is solid. It’s been field-tested. I wouldn't be able to hold down the job I have if I couldn't take a pile of raw data, tear it apart, synthesize it on the fly, and make the right call every single time. If I wasn't capable of that kind of quick, accurate analysis, I wouldn't be sitting here. Simple as that.

Just so we’re clear—my job isn't something I'm going to be discussing on this thread or any other. So, don't even bother trying to steer the conversation that way. Save your breath.

Basically, we're looking at a total shot in the dark here.

This is a whole different ballgame. I mean, sure, there are some surface-level similarities to what I was saying before, but we’re talking about something entirely different here. We're talking about a diagnosis for a severe mental illness. That changes everything.

Question—do you actually have the credentials to be making claims like that?

If you actually are, how exactly are you handling your internship?

Would you actually pull this stunt at your job?

If not them, then who else here thinks they have a problem?

You're asking me the exact same thing I already complained about on this thread. Seriously?

For most people, that’s the exact moment things hit a wall—the second the person on the other end says, "Hey, you offended me."

So, following that logic, if I just say that your presence on this forum—or even on this entire planet—offends me... or better yet, if you quote my posts just to say "good morning" or "I agree," then boom! My feelings are suddenly constitutionally protected. At that point, your posts get an automatic report because I claimed they hurt my feelings. Brilliant. Truly.

Looks like everyone on this thread—and anyone here who isn't part of the admin team—is just free to say whatever they want. Total freedom, right? Well, the admins should definitely feel free to comb through this topic and hand out penalties for any problematic posts, including mine. Go for it!

I said what I said. Just pointing out the flaws and those double standards. I'll just add this one part you quoted:

dustyranger64 said:I don't support attacking someone online just because of circumstances they were born into, but man, I honestly don't know at what point truth became socially unacceptable while feelings suddenly got constitutional protection.

Cheers!

Apophis. Just hearing the name makes my skin crawl a little. It’s one of those things that keeps you up at night if you think about it too long. You start looking at the sky, wondering if we're actually prepared for something like that hitting us. Most people just go about their day, grabbing a coffee at Starbucks or driving to work in Chicago, acting like nothing can touch them. But space doesn't care about our schedules. It's a heavy thought. A big, looming "what if" hanging over everything. kaže:
My way of thinking works just fine. I know that because if I couldn't independently crunch data, synthesize it quickly, and make the right call based on what's in front of me, I wouldn't be able to hold down my job. Simple as that. Just a heads-up—my profession isn't something I’m going to debate on this thread or any other. So, let's not even go there.

Give it a shot. And look, I’ll say it again just so we’re clear—I haven't exactly handed you a clinical diagnosis for "paranoia" or "delusions of persecution." You tell me.And that’s exactly where we differ. That's the whole damn point.

So, does that mean you actually have the credentials to be handing out diagnoses like candy? If you do, are you even sure you’ve landed on the right conclusion here? And if you are—and that’s a big if—would you actually have the guts to say that same thing while you're on the clock at work?

If you aren't even qualified to be handing out diagnoses like candy, then what exactly am I reading here? What's the point of your posts?

So, if I follow this logic, if I just stand up and say that I'm being offended... what happens then? What’s the move? Your presence on this forum? It’s basically its own little planet. Just floating out there in the void. Honestly, it's a lot to take in sometimes. I don't know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. But yeah, you've got your own orbit going on here. Look, if you’re going to quote my posts just to say "good morning" or "I agree," that’s it. That's where I draw the line. At that point, my feelings become a matter of constitutional protection, and your posts are basically subject to an automatic report because I’m officially stating they're offensive. Brilliant. Truly.

Look, if that attitude is coming from nothing more than a simple disagreement, then it’s totally overkill. That’s the whole point of these forums—to have different opinions clashing. If we all thought the same thing, we wouldn't bother showing up. Besides, there's still moderation in place to make sure things don't spiral into being completely inappropriate.

I said what I said. I pointed out the flaws and called out the double standards. Done.

Look, let’s get one thing straight—there’s no double standard here. When I said that any sane person has actual sexual relationships with people rather than just obsessing over porn, I was simply stating what most people do. That’s exactly what I told Phiber when we were going back and forth earlier.

Look, your posts are honestly just insults at this point. You’re doing nothing but trying to discredit what I have to say instead of actually talking. Can we please get back to reality? I’ve asked two very specific questions now, twice. Just answer them.

Frank Williams7 said:You're delusional. 🤣

No, that’s not what I meant. I was just demonstrating how this "discussion" actually works. I just skimmed through the first quarter of the thread again to be sure, but I get the gist. The first "victim" who tried to offer a different perspective was von Teese. After getting mocked by the same little clique of users over and over, she just gave up. Then there was Velia. She ended up starting her own separate thread because she was clearly fed up with the trolling in this one. It’s funny how the provocations throughout the whole thread pretty much come from the same handful of people.

Then I jumped in. I stayed longer, tried to frame a different viewpoint. But everything kept being dragged down to a personal level. Other users chimed in too, including some kid whose small and thin dick is basically a psychological complex. He even started a poll because of this thread—and what happened? He backed off. No other choice. 🙂

There are certain posts here I'd rather not quote.

Do you honestly still think the way people are talking in this thread is okay? Or should users here learn that they're all replaceable? That they shouldn't "ripple" against the tide? It reminds me of "learned helplessness." It's that concept where you're never right unless you have actual power or belong to the majority. No matter what you write, you're wrong. 🙂

And let's not forget—I didn't set a condition. I made a suggestion. I did it specifically because of how this thread is playing out—just the same few people circling the drain over and over.

I could easily play the victim here and report this for harassment, regardless of the emoji used, but like Apophis said—this isn't an insult, let alone a serious one.

I’d suggest you stop dragging other members into this to back up your point if they aren't actually chiming in. I have my doubts that Velia left because of any provocations, and honestly, I didn't get that impression from von Teese either.

Look, I get what you're saying about the "same old users," but honestly? It feels like most of the provocations around here usually start with you—like that last stunt where you were demanding everyone "post a picture."

If you come to this forum looking for help but expect everyone to agree with you—or worse, if you expect people to baby you with some patronizing attitude—then you’ve seriously misjudged how things work here. I’m not about to go around banning or deleting posts just because some guy is having a psychological meltdown over having a small and thin dick. If he isn't getting a "there, there, it'll be alright" pat on the head from everyone else, that's just life.

This forum is always going to have threads involving logical bifurcations, and because of that, people are eventually going to pick a side (if they feel forced to). If you decide on a position and stick to it—well, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to defend it.

Fair enough. If someone wants to turn themselves into a meme, they can, but the suggestion to lock the thread is rejected.

True. My bad. You just diagnosed a bunch of forum users with narcissistic ego trips and toxic views on love, all while backing it up with a quote from some psychology book written by a philosopher-economist who supposedly has narcissistic and schizoid personality disorders. And you think that's totally fine and not an insult at all. Edit due to a misunderstanding: There really isn't a difference here. My apology only counts if you apologize for your own diagnoses.

Just a heads-up—my profession isn't something I’m going to debate on this thread or any other. So, let's not even go there.

Give it a shot. And look, I’ll say it again just so we’re clear—I haven't exactly handed you a clinical diagnosis for "paranoia" or "delusions of persecution." You tell me.And that’s exactly where we differ. That's the whole damn point.

So, does that mean you actually have the credentials to be handing out diagnoses like candy? If you do, are you even sure you’ve landed on the right conclusion here? And if you are—and that’s a big if—would you actually have the guts to say that same thing while you're on the clock at work?

If you aren't even qualified to be handing out diagnoses like candy, then what exactly am I reading here? What's the point of your posts?

So, if I follow this logic, if I just stand up and say that I'm being offended... what happens then? What’s the move? Your presence on this forum? It’s basically its own little planet. Just floating out there in the void. Honestly, it's a lot to take in sometimes. I don't know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. But yeah, you've got your own orbit going on here. Look, if you’re going to quote my posts just to say "good morning" or "I agree," that’s it. That's where I draw the line. At that point, my feelings become a matter of constitutional protection, and your posts are basically subject to an automatic report because I’m officially stating they're offensive. Brilliant. Truly.

Look, if that attitude is coming from nothing more than a simple disagreement, then it’s totally overkill. That’s the whole point of these forums—to have different opinions clashing. If we all thought the same thing, we wouldn't bother showing up. Besides, there's still moderation in place to make sure things don't spiral into being completely inappropriate.

I said what I said. I pointed out the flaws and called out the double standards. Done.

Look, let’s get one thing straight—there’s no double standard here. When I said that any sane person has actual sexual relationships with people rather than just obsessing over porn, I was simply stating what most people do. That’s exactly what I told Phiber when we were going back and forth earlier.

Look, your posts are honestly just insults at this point. You’re doing nothing but trying to discredit what I have to say instead of actually talking. Can we please get back to reality? I’ve asked two very specific questions now, twice. Just answer them.

The site admins can look through them, along with this whole thread, to see how your posts and behavior actually triggered these comments. Then they can decide if it's "heavy insulting" or not and act according to the forum rules.

Apophis. Just hearing the name makes my skin crawl a little. It’s one of those things that keeps you up at night if you think about it too long. You start looking at the sky, wondering if we're actually prepared for something like that hitting us. Most people just go about their day, grabbing a coffee at Starbucks or driving to work in Chicago, acting like nothing can touch them. But space doesn't care about our schedules. It's a heavy thought. A big, looming "what if" hanging over everything. kaže:

How is it that a whole group of people, including myself, have been left hanging without answers to direct questions on this topic and over on LJS multiple times?
It’s not some special diagnosis.
But hey, when someone claims they are being "followed and persecuted" where there's zero evidence, or when mentioning "fortune telling with spoons" in a thread about dicks is seen as an attack on >s, certain conclusions are just forced. Someone with top-tier analytical skills surely understands that.
Especially since this is a person who diagnoses others with narcissistic personality disorder, which obviously makes them an expert.
Otherwise, it's just hypocrisy and double standards.

I was just trying to show the other side of things—that the insults were clearly mutual, or maybe they weren't even insults at all.
The admins will handle the rest. Best.

Sophia Thomas7 said:I could easily play the victim here and report this for harassment, regardless of the emoji used, but like Apophis said—this isn't an insult, let alone a serious one.

I’d suggest you stop dragging other members into this to back up your point if they aren't actually chiming in. I have my doubts that Velia left because of any provocations, and honestly, I didn't get that impression from von Teese either.

Look, I get what you're saying about the "same old users," but honestly? It feels like most of the provocations around here usually start with you—like that last stunt where you were demanding everyone "post a picture."

If you come to this forum looking for help but expect everyone to agree with you—or worse, if you expect people to baby you with some patronizing attitude—then you’ve seriously misjudged how things work here. I’m not about to go around banning or deleting posts just because some guy is having a psychological meltdown over having a small and thin dick. If he isn't getting a "there, there, it'll be alright" pat on the head from everyone else, that's just life.

This forum is always going to have threads involving logical bifurcations, and because of that, people are eventually going to pick a side (if they feel forced to). If you decide on a position and stick to it—well, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to defend it.

Fair enough. If someone wants to turn themselves into a meme, they can, but the suggestion to lock the thread is rejected.

No, they aren't. If I followed your logic, I would have banned your posts ages ago, but I don't because I don't consider them insulting. As for discrediting other people's views, you're doing the exact same thing.

Sure, someone could try to twist my words or take them out of context to make me look bad, but since calling someone "delusional" isn't technically an insult, I shouldn't be getting hit with a ban or a warning for it. Thanks.

I’ve got my doubts about Velia leaving just because someone poked the bear. As for VonTeese, I didn't really get that vibe from them.

She started this thread because she was basically calling out colbert's posts, but hey, if Velia wants to clear things up, she can. VonTeese could weigh in too, if they feel like it.

Look, I'm with you on that whole "same old users" thing. Honestly, most of the trolling around here seems to start with you anyway—just like that last stunt where you were begging everyone to "post a picture."

Why is everyone calling this a provocation? I even offered to post my own photo. Seriously. A thread dedicated to voting on who has the smallest junk is a provocation. Bringing up eunuchs after I just spent all that time laying out my actual stance is a provocation. And those condescending little comments calling my points "clichés" or "empty phrases"? Yeah, those are provocations too.

If you come to this forum looking for help but expect everyone to agree with you or play nice, you’re living in some kind of fantasy land. I'm not about to go around banning people or deleting posts just because some kid with a small and thin dick is having a psychological meltdown over his size. I'm not going to sit here and pat him on the shoulder like, "there there, it will all be okay." Not happening.

Niko didn't even ask for this. Honestly, we could probably cut down on the constant obsession with inches—you know, that weird habit where people assume a lack of size automatically means a lack of function. And let’s stop calling people "losers" just because they don't make length their top priority in the bedroom. It's exhausting.

Fair enough. If you want to turn into a picture, go right ahead. But if you're asking me why they won't just lock the thread? Well, because they won't. Simple as that.

Works for me.

You’re doing the exact same thing when it comes to trashing everyone else's opinions.

Where’s the smear campaign?

dustyranger64 said:True. My bad. You just diagnosed a bunch of forum users with narcissistic ego trips and toxic views on love, all while backing it up with a quote from some psychology book written by a philosopher-economist who supposedly has narcissistic and schizoid personality disorders. And you think that's totally fine and not an insult at all. Edit due to a misunderstanding: There really isn't a difference here. My apology only counts if you apologize for your own diagnoses.

Back then, you claimed the guy had been to prison. In my next post, I deleted that link and explained how I’d actually found it. Look, I’m not perfect, but I’m not too incompetent to admit when I messed up.

But I didn't go around diagnosing you with a psychotic disorder.

Apophis, what you're saying goes way beyond this forum. 🙂

It’s not some special diagnosis.

Are you writing this as just another user, or are you claiming to be qualified to make these calls?

I mean, when someone claims they're being "stalked and followed" where nothing is happening, or when mentioning "fortune telling" in a thread about dicks is seen as an attack on Canadians, certain conclusions are just forced upon you. Someone with actual analytical skills should be able to see that.
Especially since this person is out here diagnosing others with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which clearly makes them an expert.
Otherwise, it's just hypocrisy and double standards.

What are you getting at? Are you still standing by all this? 🙂

On one thread, I said a user showed plenty of signs of NPD. But I realized I was wrong, and I told him straight to his face.

My goal was just to show the other side of things—that the insults were clearly mutual, if there even were any.

You promised a photo, yet you haven't actually uploaded anything. Are you really expecting five or more people to strip down just so you, one single person, will finally show yours? Is your photo somehow worth more than what someone from Dell would provide?

Frank Williams7 said:You're delusional. 🤣

No, that’s not what I meant. I was just demonstrating how this "discussion" actually works. I just skimmed through the first quarter of the thread again to be sure, but I get the gist. The first "victim" who tried to offer a different perspective was von Teese. After getting mocked by the same little clique of users over and over, she just gave up. Then there was Velia. She ended up starting her own separate thread because she was clearly fed up with the trolling in this one. It’s funny how the provocations throughout the whole thread pretty much come from the same handful of people.

Then I jumped in. I stayed longer, tried to frame a different viewpoint. But everything kept being dragged down to a personal level. Other users chimed in too, including some kid whose small and thin dick is basically a psychological complex. He even started a poll because of this thread—and what happened? He backed off. No other choice. 🙂

There are certain posts here I'd rather not quote.

Do you honestly still think the way people are talking in this thread is okay? Or should users here learn that they're all replaceable? That they shouldn't "ripple" against the tide? It reminds me of "learned helplessness." It's that concept where you're never right unless you have actual power or belong to the majority. No matter what you write, you're wrong. 🙂

And let's not forget—I didn't set a condition. I made a suggestion. I did it specifically because of how this thread is playing out—just the same few people circling the drain over and over.

Where exactly did you feel insulted by me?

I didn't walk away from that thread because of provocations. I left for the same reason I leave almost every discussion on LES (like that one about the unwritten rules for men)—because people either lack the will or the actual brainpower to argue using logic instead of just taking cheap shots at someone personally.
Look, I know I'm an idiot. Every once in a while, some topic on LES catches my eye and I dive in, only to end up regretting it every single time. 😳

As for the thread I started, that was triggered by the general vibe of users on LES lately—everyone acting like they're some god-tier lover or a perfect, insatiable pro. It wasn't specifically because of colbert. Honestly, I didn't even see her posts aimed at me as a provocation, even though I usually disagree with her.

Since I'm still lurking in that thread, I'll answer here: that's Dell in the photo, and if you saw Phibsov's and Apophis's photo, it would probably shatter your preconceptions even more, assuming Dell managed to pull it off with his. 😉

rapidhawk22 said:You promised a photo, yet you haven't actually uploaded anything. Are you really expecting five or more people to strip down just so you, one single person, will finally show yours? Is your photo somehow worth more than what someone from Dell would provide?

It doesn't. This whole thread is about something else entirely, and honestly, that idea didn't fly with the loudest critics here anyway. I've already laid out my own positions clearly enough.

Can we please stop diluting the discussion?

In that case, it was nothing more than a provocation.

And once again, you completely dodged the question I directed specifically at you.

You're telling me. Seriously. 🙂

As for the topic I brought up, I only really started that whole thing because of how people have been acting over on LJES lately. Where did everyone go? All the goddamn legends and those perfect, insatiable vixens—where'd they all vanish to?It wasn't even about Charles Davis88. To be honest, I didn't even take her posts on that topic personally when she was aiming them at me. Even though most of what she said was totally off base and I disagreed with pretty much all of it.

Honestly, after being away from this forum for months, I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was reading when I finally logged back in. It’s wild. I seriously need to work on building up some mental and emotional distance so I don't let this nonsense get to me again.

Since I'm still following this thread, I’ll weigh in here: that’s definitely Del in the photo. Honestly, if you saw the shot of Phibsov and Apophisov, it would blow your mind even more—especially if Del actually pulled that off with his own. 😉

Alright, fine. Let's get to it.

It wasn't meant to be a provocation, but the forum Council pretty much decided that it was a bad call.
