Dealing with Manchild Syndrome Part 2

Richard James2 said:Look, I don't really follow those specific threads. 🤷 But honestly, I know you're capable of starting your own topic 😁>, so if you think some absolute garbage has spread like wildfire, just sit down, gather your thoughts, and frame it into a formal complaint thread or whatever. I don't know what else to tell you. Getting a ban isn't necessarily the end of the world.

thanks Linda! 🙂

Good grief. And who’s the one constantly calling me out? You, Silas, and a handful of others. Every single subforum has some mindless comment like, "Where's ironscout56 to weigh in on this?" or "Hey ironscout56, what do you think about this?"—it's always something. Then, somehow, people turn around and complain about me. ☕ I genuinely try to help everyone out with questions regarding FOX or Discovery Channel—providing the latest updates and schedule changes, even acting as a bit of a bridge between you guys and the heads over at FOX. I'm not going to brag about being responsible for everything, obviously, but you'd be surprised by how much influence I actually have. So, I'm asking you please: stop picking on me and commenting on my every single post. Thanks.

Richard James2 said:Sure, you managed to do that, fair enough. But let’s be real: just being a mindless copy-paste machine doesn't make you someone worth debating. Personally, I think—and hey, maybe I'm wrong here—that you're either just padding your post count or you have this burning desire to nail something on this board that looks interesting to you, despite having zero actual stance or expertise on the subject. Again, you and posts like yours aren't "discussion starters" simply because they even made it onto the board. If that's the case, what's the point of a forum? We might as well just scroll through news portals and call it a day. Adios.

Look, you don't need to take this personally. Your style really grinds my gears—you have this constant, blatant disregard for the rules—but that doesn't mean I’m going to start cursing you out or telling you where to go every time I see your username pop up. 😁

Henry Hernandez7, look, you don't need to be the spice in every single dish.

What's that even for!?

So, my topic was considered offensive?
How fascinating.

Oh, for the love of everything holy, here we go again?! Yeah, we get it! Larry Walker24, you live for copy-pasting, and ironscout56, you’re obsessed with FOX. Both are irritating enough on their own without you two picking fights in every single thread. 😁

In all seriousness:

Larry Walker24:

I honestly don't know how many more people have to explain to you exactly what the issue is with your constant copy-pasting. Tell me, which part of this isn't clicking? Let's hammer it out right now so we can settle this once and for all. It genuinely hurts my soul to see you racking up such a massive pile of useless fluff.

ironscout56:

At least every other Wednesday, you can step away from the altar of FOX.

To both of you:

Nobody is denying that you’re decent people or active members here, and it's clear you're passionate about your opinions. People aren't annoyed by who you are or what you believe... they're annoyed by the endless repetition of the exact same thing over and over. Is it really necessary for the entire forum to recognize your usernames and immediately assume you only have one mode: either copy-paste or "FOX is the best." Personally, I think you're capable of much more. So prove it. Show us.

Look, personally, I actually like you. Seriously. 🙂 It’s just a shame that so much drama and useless noise gets dragged into this when it's something that could easily be avoided. It’s like a snowball effect... it starts because you annoyed someone, then people start bickering on Reddit... then a few more people notice... the cycle repeats... and suddenly, you get threads like this. The stuff you copy-paste actually has the potential to spark a high-quality discussion. They really do. The only thing missing from the whole equation is two, three, five, or seven sentences of your own regarding the topic... your actual opinion... the reasons why you even noticed the article and decided to share it in the first place. It doesn't need to be a 5,000-page dissertation. A brief introductory comment is plenty. If a text clearly cites its source and you provide a short or long commentary, nobody—and I mean absolutely nobody, no matter how much it irritates them—can stop you from participating in forum communication that way. In fact, they shouldn't, they have no reason to, and stubbornly complaining about it wouldn't be seen as a constructive critique; it would just look like personal antipathy. And that doesn't fly here.

I'm certain you posted every single article here precisely because you formed an opinion on it. Put that opinion in the post. If not for any other reason, do it so the debate can head toward your views and stances, rather than just being about whoever wrote the article. Let him promote his own work. 😉

Thanks a million! 🙂🙂

Don't mention it. 🙂

Good grief, it’s like they’re crucified on a cross. Honestly, if I were a moderator, I’d be tempted to bash my own head against a wall just having to explain such elementary concepts in this language 🙂 😁

🤣 Look, 😬

It isn't hard to explain something to someone when you genuinely believe they aren't being malicious; the issue is always what gets lost in translation. We all have those moments where we just miss the point... not because we're stupid or acting out of spite, but just—well, things happen. The least I can do, since I've apparently taken on this role, is try to find some common ground. But I'll only bother if I'm truly convinced it was just a communication glitch and not someone intentionally trying to mess with me. Because if it's the latter, I am absolutely livid. 😈

The fact that I might get banned doesn't change the reality that Larry Walker24 is nothing more than a useless spam generator. At the end of the day, how much stupidity one perceives is entirely subjective.

Just a reminder: bans, strikes, or whatever else you throw at me don't mean a damn thing.

I'm done. After a mountain of PMs—maybe even dozens at this point—and trying to explain myself over and over, I finally get it. There’s just no point in fighting this battle... nothing left for me here...

It all boils down to this:

Larry Walker24 said:fine

Larry Walker24 said:thanks Linda! 🙂

Larry Walker24 said:Thanks a million! 🙂🙂

And just like that, we’re back to the same old crap... I don't care what anyone says, this whole thing is a mess. Absolute disaster. People acting like everything is fine when it clearly isn't... total joke. Just more of the same nonsense we see all the time. Honestly, I'm done with it... just totally done.

This guy just doesn't read anything. He’s stuck in his own little echo chamber, spending all day just skimming headlines and Googling stuff just so he can paste some random text onto some random thread. I tried telling him to just start a blog and find himself a life, but he’s convinced he’s on some grand mission to "improve" this forum... like what he's doing is actually helping us... seriously... 🤷

Check out this killer idea:

I’ve had enough of this nonsense. Honestly, how can people be this dense? It's like talking to a brick wall sometimes... just total brain dead behavior from everyone involved. Seriously, get it together.

Simpsolina said:Then you open it yourself... 🍿

Just copy and paste some description from somewhere and boom... there you go.

👍

Larry Walker24 said:Yeah, true enough...

No, no, no... that's just straight up false.

There are just so many threads here... honestly, so many killer, well-argued, and legit posts from people on this board that deserve way more eyes than they get. Moving this stuff over to Facebook to reach a bigger audience would be a massive move...

Flip the script... Copy from the forum instead of onto the forum...Hey, go promote us on Facebook. Make that your new full-time job. Just imagine how many new users we’d pull onto the forum if you actually did something about it... 👍

enjoy

is this legit

A decision on whether toll prices will go up won't be made until after May 25th. Until then, the management teams at both HAC and the I-15 corridor have to hand over their full restructuring plans to the Department of Transportation, according to Siniša Hajdaš Dončić.

He pointed out that if they do end up hiking the tolls, it won't apply to regular commuters using the ENC system. He thinks that way they can keep things competitive for truckers, shipping companies, and anyone else who lives on the highway.

They aren't just going to hike prices without doing a deep dive first. Right now, the total debt for HAC and the I-15 operators sits at roughly $4.8 billion. These companies don't have the cash left to invest in anything new—they can barely even maintain what they currently have without some serious restructuring.

my take:
as soon as a new administration takes over, gas prices shoot up immediately, even though everything was running fine before.

how the hell are you even supposed to post links on this damn forum?!

Not quite right, it should look like this:

They aren't making any price hikes without a deep dive first. Right now, the total debt for HAC and the I-15 authorities sits at 27 billion dollars. These companies don't have the cash to invest in anything new—they can barely even maintain what they've already got without some serious restructuring.

Your comment really should’ve been a lot longer if you're gonna start a whole new thread. You could've dropped that gas price complaint in any other thread about price hikes, since clearly you didn't have anything to say besides one single sentence. Just C/P a news link and one dry-ass sentence isn't enough, and it definitely shouldn't be used to kick off a new topic.

And honestly, I'm done explaining how to post links or quotes. Use Google, just Google it!

sorry, but I’m just too dumb to wrap my head around that quote

Didn't I already explain how to use the multi-quote feature to you? 🙂

Here we go.

I probably would've ended up with a red card anyway!
