Not everyone has that bubbling beneath the surface. That shit comes from somewhere. Actually posting that shit was a deliberate hurtful act each time. It speaks to a certain kind of character. It doesn't speak kind things

Beyond that if it was some random incident how can anyone trust that it won't happen again

This is also a fair question. But Foxx, I was attacked recently (I would argue rightfully so, even though I disagree with a lot of the dissent's arguments), are you saying I deserved that? Are you saying that coming back and leading with an apology doesn't mean even if they were serious(they being the one to apologize, you beyond this edit meaning...you), you could convert a bigoted racist? Are you saying they can't have their mind changed, or that you don't want to change their mind?

Don't fight hate with hate except as a last resort. Don't be them.

More simply Treat others the way you yourself would like to be treated

Everyone that gives you grief on this board does so because of the you communicate with others. Deal with it.

The first line makes sense to me. IDK what you mean with the next line.

What you said and what happened with you is not at all on the same level there. You apologized immediately and people weren't mad at you. Annoyed at most. They were making fun.

This was some dark shit. I hope he is feeling better but a warm welcome should not be expected

For what its worth, I am someone who believes people can change and learn and grow. If you truly have moved past that then thats great. And an apology is a good start. But the next step is showing you understand what you did and taking steps that it never happens again.

And like I dont sit here stewing about it. Bloke is not the worst thing Ive been called. But it felt pretty barbed considering you and I had conversations where you asked me about my transition before. So I dont know. It isnt like the Judgmenl thing where I have never received a sincere apology and he still feels hes the victim. But it definitely isnt fine and dandy either.

Ill be keeping an eye on this.

That's....I cannot argue that. Hell, I took your advice and changed my sig anyway. Because if I'm being honest, it was kinda funny.

Doctor Foxx posted...

I hope he doesn't expect a warm welcome, in spite of what some have said. I think it's misplaced, misguided, and undeserved. But I also think outright rejection is the wrong way to go. He should be given a chance to realize his mistake, if he hasn't realized it already. If he wants to change, we should help him.

I don't agree with what he did. Not at all, he was definitely in the wrong. I also don't think we should ignore the possibility that this is insincere and he'll do it again. But on the off-chance he is being sincere and actually apologetic (unfortunately very difficult to tell on a text-based board like this) shouldn't we help him to realize his toxic mistake, realize he was wrong, and improve? Aren't we almost obligated to defend ourselves, but also lower our guard and try to accept that he may understand? Especially given his circumstances at the time, which might have made him angry and much more radical? He probably believed those things, but negative emotion changes a person for the worst too. You're a psychology major, right? You have to know how people react negatively to bad situations and how he's already displayed a very desirable willingness to change and grow from that.

I'm nice, generous and helpful to as many people as possible. I don't need a tax right off to pretend I'm kind.

For fuck's sake, it's a 'write-off'. A tax 'write-off'. For your word choice, the correct usage would be as follows: now I can tell right off the bat that you dont do anything for charity.

Personally, I don't consider what happened my normal personality. My dad had just died and I was furious with the world. Like Shark pointed out, I was nice for years before that happened - I'd like to think that's because I am a nice person. My mistake was not going to the gym and exercising the anger out or something, instead of lashing out at people here. And letting PotD get to me, of course.

I don't agree with Schmen that I was an arsehole beforehand, but then his criteria for me being an arsehole are very specific.

I don't. But I also didn't rail into other posters while pretending my charitable contributions were based in human generosity and kindness. His "charity" is self-serving, nothing more.

Schmen donates to or set up an animal welfare shelter, I think I remember him saying. We may be total opposites and such, but that is awesome, if true.


His donations are simply to offset his solo business taxes. He doesn't do it out of kindness, just capitalist necessity.


bro, my donations are because i like animals more than i like people.

people are supposed to know better. animals legitimately dont.

also, i dont make so much fucking money that i need to offset the fucking taxes lol. im not the goddamn monopoly guy. i do OK.

my "chairty" is hardly self serving. the money i give to the dumb friends league does exactly jack shit for me aside from a warm fuzzy feeling. might save me about a grand on taxes, but i put a lot more than that in. the money i give to the MS society is going to do jack shit within my lifetime, but in the slightly more likely scenario my daughter ends up with it it MAY help her.

i know it just kills your ass to think i can be altruistic, but i can

im just not with you, because i think you are a pretty terrible person.

I can relate to Arctic because if I gave enough of a shit and I was as ar(c)ticulate as he was, I would tear most of you a new arsehole.

But secretly, I appreciate every one of you PotDers as being part of my formative years, even if you're all some of the worst people I've ever met.

Such left-wing intolerance here.


It speaks to the problematic tendencies of the far left which, despite virtue-signaling acceptance and giving people second chances, is more obsessed with the notion of irredeemability than even the hardest Bible-thumpers. Granted, a lot of that plays into the fascistic qualities which come so naturally to the left -- such as the notion of thought-crime.

Doctor Foxx posted...
As angry as I've ever been I would never use those traits to attack people like that


And I would never rob anybody. But does that mean that we shouldn't give thieves a chance to reform and rejoin society just because *I* wouldn't do something like that? While it would be great if people never did horrible things in the first place, sometimes it's enough that they never do them again.

Doctor Foxx posted...

Beyond that if it was some random incident how can anyone trust that it won't happen again


Or, you know, you could give him the benefit of the doubt instead of automatically assuming some sinister hypothetical is on the way. And, frankly, what changes in either case? Do you gain anything by not trying to have him rehabilitate himself? What's the end game here?

Imagine if there's someone you're pissed off at, so you call them ugly or fat. You know however, that this individual is extremely attractive, so...ugly or fat isn't a real flaw they have, but you call them that because you're pissed off, you know they're sensitive to it and that they'll get offended if you call them ugly or fat.
I believe Arctic when he says he doesn't actually believe the cruel beliefs he communicated. It was a meltdown from being provoked by other posters, that's all there is to it.
Also, you all shouldn't be obsessing over what he did in the past right now. Don't throw rocks at someone who is climbing a mountain. He's progressing with his mental health right now and none of you should have a right to provoke him.

Strange that a person who complains about replies as being evidence of harassment would go out of his way to antagonize the person he claims is harassing him not even a day after his initial complaint. It's almost like the whole thing was hokum designed to exploit the moderation system to harass a poster he dislikes.

More importantly, the left's terrible tendencies are among the reasons why I limit my affiliation with them. And, of course, ideologically I tend to fall right around the middle anyway.
