Yes, geezer. You read the whole ****ing thread and then post what you want to say. You don’t go line by line and reply to every single person like a psychopath.

This is how forums work.

Thanks for the info.

Quit being annoying and people will take you more seriously.

Or just be a twat and eventually get permabanned again, whatever.

Question for Mods: Can you folks change my undertitle to "Annoying Twat?" Thanking y'all in advance!

I don't see a big deal about it, but basically all you have to do is click the + for each post you want to reply to and once you get done with the thread, click Post Reply. A window will open with all the posts you want to reply to in one response window and you can reply to each one individually without making 10 separate posts.

Thank you! I actually didn't know I could do that.


by whatthejish

It's not even the absence of geezer using multiquote. If it's not an option for some layouts, then whatever (although that's still easy enough to do yourself manually with quote tags). My main annoyance is the rapid-fire responding to nearly EVERY single post since the last time he logged in. His need to weigh in on every individual comment is narcissistic and reads as a lot of

Question for Mods: Can y'all change whatthejish's undertitle to 'Cranky Nitpicker?' Thanks in advance.

I've asked that Luckbox's ban get shortened to 24 hours and here is an explanation why:I watched a US citizen get executed by federal agents a few days agoWe are restructuring at work, which always drives uncertaintiesThese two things lead me to take a "mental health" day to focus on other thingsThat is base acknowledgement that my stressors are too high to be dealing with cert

Very adult of you. You should offer this feature to crossnerd

Anyways posting about dog walks resulting in rage is the most 2p2 shit ever


Get back in your box, wan.


I feel like hole is more apropos


I’ll accept either or 😃


by Rococo

Yeah. I honestly have no idea wtf is going on in this thread.

You expect better? From mods?


LB is banned? I'm going to guess it might not have warranted one. But I'm probably in the minority camp on that one.


LB is not currently banned


by coordi

LB is not currently banned

I read up. It wasn't the most atrocious ban but I would have let the post go considering others have brought in family multiple times without action - which doesn't need to happen.

They won’t get run over because every normal person will take extreme measures to avoid running over dogs, like pulling their car off an embankment My girlfriend works in animal care and ran over a couple of dogs and she still has ptsd from them bolting out in front of her car going 45 mphBut lockbox is incapable of putting himself in other people’s shoes. We have k

Why was your girlfriend driving so fast? Sounds like she's not a normal person.

by Luckbox Inc

I mean I've already explained that the speed limits here are 25 mph and that both cars were already completely stopped but you can't help but make idiotic comments.

by coordi

You like to troll because you are a sociopath so I’m sure this is just sport for you.

by coordi

Speed limit was 45 as it was a main road

Untrained off leash dogs bolted across the street after dark

That your immediate response it to try and insult my girlfriend, really just drives home my point

I dunno man, maybe you don't like me, but being an irredeemable piece of **** to my girlfriend really isn't going to make me treat you better. Probably the opposite!

by Luckbox Inc

Hey I don't know your girlfriend but if she's dating a dipshit like you then I can only wonder.

by coordi

you are lucky im not deleting your account

Luckbox might join us in 30 days. I dunno, might get longer

Coordi,

I would have said the same thing if that story was about your mom, or your aunt, or a co-worker, or a neighbor.

Not sure what you would expect when you say "normal people don't hit dogs. My girlfriend hit two of them".

And my second post there was insulting you, not her. Again, I have no idea who she is, what she looks like, and I could pass her on the street tomorrow or next week and have no idea about her. So yes, banning me over those posts was ridiculous and everyone who was like "no problem with the ban but wow Coordi is great for being magnanimous" is equally ridiculous.

And again-- whatever happened with your girlfriend and the dogs she hit has absolutely nothing to do with my situation. I am on dirt roads in a neighborhood with 25mph speed limits. The cars that went into the ditch did not come flying around some corner and have to swerve-- instead they were fully stopped and decided to try to drive around the dogs by going into the ditch instead of just driving slow so that they would move. The first time actually they didn't even need to do that as they had their full lane available. And you knew all that yet you brought up your girlfriend hitting dogs anyways because you can't help but lie and misrepresent details. That makes you a horrible poster.

As far as you as a moderator goes-- I mostly appreciate your laissez faire approach and certainly under modding is better than over-modding. But you obviously went way too far here.

The most atrocious ban was when Victor was banned for a month because people came here to complain about him and the mods were like "ok sure".


Coordi, another example of think long, think wrong. 30 days in the hole reinstated.

I'm guessing he probably wasn't inviting you to ridicule his gf's mental health after a traumatic experience.

Maybe he shouldn't have brought up something that had nothing to do with my situation?

I guess you expect me to be actually sucking Coordi off after this as per his invitation but that's not going to happen.


You are universally viewed as a person of low logic and class

I'm gonna let you punch yourself out and hopefully you feel better champ

You don't have a free reign to do or say whatever you want though

I think, if you consider it, there might be a link between his gf being traumatized by dogs running off leash on the road and you letting your dogs run off leash on the road.

More importantly though, I'm not sure him mentioning the existence of his girlfriend is an invitation for you to start firing off insults aimed at her.

Have you considered the fact that not all roads are the same?

As far as 'insults' go-- get a grip there. That was hardly an insult. It was a softball that he lobbed up there for me. It was nothing

Like I said l-- I would have made that comment regardless of who it was it had nothing to do with the fact that it was his girlfriend--it could have been anyone he knew.

Oh we know.


I met this American girl in Colombia-- and she had been in Ecuador it might behave been Cuenca not sure-- and she told me "where I was if you don't have a dog following you around everywhere you go then you're not from there". That has always stuck with me her comment.

Having dogs off leash on rural dirt roads is the norm for most of the world. Because most of you are Americans or people from other first world places who live in cities or the suburbs and haven't travelled in other parts of the world you don't realize this, and that's fine. But the dogs that are getting hit and killed by cars are not going to be these dogs. They are going to be dogs that got lost, or escaped, and are out in busy populated areas running across high trafficked areas and that sounds like it was the case with Coordi's gf and that's tragic and I am genuinely sorry that that happened to her and that she had to experience that. It just has nothing to do with my situation and Coordi either knows that or should know it.


by Trolly McTrollson

Oh we know.

It doesn't seem like you do.



Anyways this was yesterday. The foremost dog went back with her owner yesterday and the golden is off to Aurora (Coordi's home town I believe) tomorrow so I'll be down to only 4 dogs to walk. Hard to get them all to pose for a photo or even in the same frame.
