HARMONIC'S PROFILE

Skyborn's how I got "known" enough to break into the "real" game industry. Then I got bored making other peoples' games and am back to doing my own thing XD

How is it not bait if it's coming out of nowhere, not a direct response to anybody, seemingly addresses everybody "you", and is bringing up a previous post? Which previous post? Was that previous post negative? It clearly got a negative response from people. How could you not realize it might cause a problem. It totally comes off as douchey, moreso without context. If you have no intention of bickering, why post such a pointless and provocative thing? Considering how this thread has been going it doesn't seem like you are trying to avoid conflict. It seems like you know the climate here and said it on purpose to get a rise out of people. If it was meant as a joke, it's not a good one. I have no bias towards you and I don't care about the actual topic of this thread, I'm just saying how it looks to an outsider on neither side of this debate.

And now your shields are up, so I'm probably wasting my time.

Okay friends, I'm going to answer his questions. See his questions? Going to answer them objectively. They were asked in a guilty until proven innocent way, which makes this difficult, so please consider that. I am entitled to defend myself against these accusations and it will not involve baiting or bickering.

No, it was not bait. Why would I do that at this point? I'm under the microscope now.

No, it's not coming out of no where. I made a post earlier about the various ways elements of the left (no, not everyone on the left...okay?) trying to overturn the election.

Said post was not negative. It was on topic. You may disagree with it, but that doesn't make it negative.

No, it wasn't a dig at anyone. Why would I do that at this point? I'm under the microscope now.

No, it didn't get a "negative response" it got an opposed response which is fine.

No, it didn't "cause a problem." It caused disagreement, which is fine.

How is "licking your chops" provocative? Don't you think saying "I'm probably wasting my time" is provocative?

No, I'm not "trying to get a rise out of people." Why would I do that at this point? I'm under the microscope now.

In summary, literally every assertion and assumption in your post was inaccurate and unfair.

There. Answered his questions.

Now for my question.

Why, after everything that's happened, do you feel the need to do yet another public call out directed at me? This thread is not called the Harmonic call out thread. I brought up a legitimate topic about the FBI thing today, you ignored that, and came after me. The public call out thing has been warned against several times in this topic, yet, it continues.

Baiting? Jesus, who would be baited by that? Who has that much of an itchy trigger finger on the personal attack button?? Wait...

Anyway, SORRY.

On topic.

The FBI thinks Russia hacked. So maybe licking your chops will yield something this time. Damn Russians...

Listen harmonic. I agree there's been a lot of unneeded flak thrown your way and people have been insulting you, which is not helpful.

But this:

Just pointing out reality and facts.

is pretty hard to swallow. In this thread, half of your posts have been accusing "liberals" or "the mainstream left" of this and that, even after numerous people here, on various occasions, have explained that what you are describing is a vocal minority at best, and completely non-existant at worst. So I hope you can see why people get fed up with you if you keep saying the same things over and over again, even after people try to tell you that what you're saying is wholly unreasonable.

Now all of this isn't meant as an insult, and I won't defend the way people have treated you, but I hope you see why they have, and I hope you'll finally realize there's no such thing as the liberal boogeyman.

When I said I was pointing out reality and facts in that quote, I'm referring to the modus operandi of me stating opinion, and someone gets onery and decides to throw shit at me, make it personal, etc.

That said, thank you for actually arguing the topic and not calling me a stinky butt face.

I will say, though, you're not going to convince a person of anything if your tactic is to gaslight them. Can you point out specific things I've said that you think absolutely don't exist? I'll give you that many of them, possibly most of them, are a vocal minority.

there's been no conversation in here ever. its basically impossible when one party is only concerned with starting fires via willful misinterpretation and is given carte blanche to do so.

Basically, you have a problem with Soli moderating direct personal insults (btw, thanks for being fair, Soli.) And you prefer that they moderate my opinions for being not the right opinions.
