HiloJulie - the “NERD” in me did some extensive research.
Oh cool, research is neat - what you learn?
HiloJulie - turns out, “ironyak” is a “long time” PunaWeb TROLL.
Oh... oh, wow... (dear reader, I had thought "disingenuous" was the explanation, but turns out it was "brick". Called that one wrong, goes to show what I know. Hanlon's razor strikes again! Feel a bit bad...)
HiloJulie - finding that this tactic employed by “ironyak” has been repeated several times in the past.
I do have a bit of a "beat them over the head with facts" schtick and while to be fair we all have our peccadillos, I don't want to end up a rusty old punatic running over the same old ground so maybe I'll mix it up in the future. Engage only in Socratic dialog, or post only in haiku, something pithy. Notes accepted!
HiloJulie - I found “ironyak” to be one of the several posters here on PunaWeb who in their posts will either tell Rob how to moderate his own website
Guilty as charged. I was there 3000 years ago on the slopes of the Mount BBS's and have seen the strength of (wo)men fail, time and time again. You can't really expect users to enforce the rules especially when some won't listen and DGAF for community norms. Given that there's apparently been a TROLL here on PW for 15 years, I'd say that's proof enough of Rob being delinquent in his moderation duties. ;)
At the end of the day it's Rob's sandbox, only he can make sure people play nice, but I know he's got other projects keeping him busy.
HiloJulie - there were days where “ironyak” was making over 20 plus posts a day for weeks on end.
lol - yeah. While the numbers sound hyperbolic, I have gone on some tears here. However, when other contributors pointed out that both the number and length of my posts were a bit much to follow along, I switched styles to quote less, only post once or twice a day, use links instead of excerpts, and so forth, as the goal is to actually provide accessible information and engage in discussion. This whole streamlined format and approach is all thanks to listening to feedback from other contributors.
As the foremost scholar of my PW oeuvre, HiloJulie, perhaps you can provide some examples of this transformation in my work? Thanks!
TomK - Why would I include other stuff if I discussed the straw man fallacy?
You noted the strawman arguments and said "Maybe my next thread will be about PW's greatest logical fallacies" which could cover all sorts. Just don't want you to leave yourself out of the running as you've got plenty of chances to win as well!
TomK - I also don't care about all the other stuff you posted. I know it must have taken you some time to write your post, but only you care.
Well, HiloJulie cares, as she bothered to read everything I've ever posted here and only in like a day or so - that's dedication! I doubt anyone ever read all your posts in a day - so nani nani boo boo to you.
