General / Rob, AKA NHArticleTen, we need to talk, no BS.

NHArticleTen Thinks I have admin powers.
*Sigh*
I am not an admin, Rob. I never deleted any of your posts. It didn't happen that way.
What happened was that I deleted the entire thread, and reposted it. Your posts weren't the only ones deleted. That's it. I don't have admin powers, and if I did, I wouldn't use them against you.
You don't understand me at all, and you never have, and you've never bothered to find out.
On the other hand, I understand you quite well. You see, I have a lot of experience with people who are disturbed, Rob. A lot. Both professionally, personally and politically. You're not crazy. I know that. At least, not crazy in the way you seem to think I mean.
You want to know why I have a problem with you? Honestly? Accusations of craziness aside?
1. You talk trash.
Macho talk about how you're gonna do x,y, and z and how you "ain't gonna take any shit from THE MAN" and how people need to rise up and start shooting government people and all of that stuff is a bunch of hot air, man. People who take action don't talk shit. They do it and keep their mouths shut. What they don't do is talk about all of their "professional training" and "extensive knowledge" and stuff like that. That's poser talk, Rob. Now, you actually go and show up to functions and take real action, from what I understand, so why the hell are you trash talking? There's no reason for it and it looks like internet bullshit, man.
2. You poison the well.
For whatever reason, (Poor writing skills, lack of lucidity, some sort of strategic affectation to appear harmless etc.) when you write a post, it is peppered with repetitive phrases and poor grammar. You come off as crazy. Crazy people draw negative attention. And I'm not talking about from the government. I'm talking about people who are interested in freedom and go to a place to learn more, and run into people who behave like yourself. They fucking leave, man. You have no responsibility to anyone else to behave in any particular way, but other people are gonna get pissed at all of the crazy talk. People like me and a few others. Your behavior gives freedom lovers a bad name.
3. No one understands you.
This is related to the last point. People don't know what you're going on about, Rob. You seem to have made a whole special language of your own, consisting mostly of catchphrases that you seem to have just made up at some point. And then you repeat them, over and over again. No one understands what you are trying to say. Are you trying to create a meme? Is there some sort of lexicon that I don't know about? No one knows, Rob. You pepper your sentences with ellipses, inferring that people draw some sort of implied logical conclusion from what you are saying, but nobody has any idea, and that leads to repeated misunderstandings. If people need a special key code to understand what you are saying, you are not communicating properly. If you choose not to communicate properly, why bother posting at all? It serves no purpose.
4. You continually make veiled threats.
This one is obvious. You aren't being super sneaky or slipping one by people. You make threats and people can tell. People get a creepy vibe from you, Rob. They think you aren't normal. If this is deliberate, no one else knows and you have succeeded in your efforts. You are a menacing person, and people are uncomfortable around you on the BBS. Some people are more tolerant about this than others, and some people just ignore it when you get all creepy. I'm certain that people will back me up on this.
So that's it.
Look, everyone has problems, alright? But you never seem to address yours when they are pointed out, or even acknowledge that they even exist. You just BLANK OUT when someone notices the crazy talk. I don't know if it's a compulsion or an obsession or what, but you aren't hiding it from anyone, if that's what you think.
My problem is engaging with people like yourself. People like you don't EVER stop, and for me, each person is a new, separate event. I have a hard time picking up on a behavior and generalizing enough to just ignore the wackjob as soon as I realize that they are a wackjob. It's probably a side effect of my dedication to individualism. I treat each person as a new case. Well, crazy is all the fucking same. There's no one home with a crazy person, you see. Takes me a while to figure out each time, because while I am frighteningly intelligent, the gears turn slowly.
And, of course, sometimes I have to learn my lesson more than once.
I know you won't really read this post, or understand it in the way I meant it if you do, but I didn't really write it for you. I wrote it for me. You see, I'll probably be able to ignore you for a while after this. It won't stop me from hating your fucking guts, (And you shouldn't even take that personally, it's not Rob I hate, it's the crazy talk motherfucker he hides behind.) but I'll probably be able to overlook it for a while.
So I've admitted something about myself. I have given you a criticism that was well written and thought out. I have been open and honest with you. How are you going to respond to this? Everything anyone needs to know about you will be clarified by your response. Or lack of one.
So cough it up, chump.
