This is suspicious behavior. Sadly, I won't be giving names... because I CAN'T.



And yet, I feel that is the very purpose of calling someone a disinfo agent, to start a witch-hunt, to cast doubt on everything a member does, and to insulate yourself from having your beliefs and claims challenged. It is an attempt to derail the conversation when the weak-minded are unable to defend their claims. It is arrogant and immature to assume someone cannot have a legitimate or reasonable disagreement without being a disinformation agent.

And saying you cannot give names is, frankly, a cop-out. Otherwise, you would have to defend your claims, for which there is typically no proof for other than you have a nasty disagreement with someone. I find it quite suspicious that members have no problem calling someone a disinfo-agent during a discussion, but during a thread about that very subject, those members are scared to name names.

There is a member on there that goes by SaviorComplex, the fight starts on pg 2, a mod steps in at pg 8, fight ends on pg 9. SaviorComplex got outnumbered, didn't even leave another post after that. Hope you check it out...But in the end he folded.



You are lying. That was not derailing, I was on topic the ENTIRE post. Only in your immaturity do you think that disagreement is "derailing." You wanted an echo-chamber, wanted everyone to agree with you, and when they didn't (I wasn't the only one disagreeing) you demanded they leave, called them materialistic (in the face of your own materialism and hypocracy), ignorant, disinformation agents, etc and now claim they were trying to derail.

You suggest the mod stepped in solely because of me. He didn't. You are right, I did leave the conversation, but I did not "fold" as you suggest (or rather, lie about). Folding implies that I gave in and agreed with you. I left because the personal attacks did not stop after the mod stepped in, and because much like you claimed about me over and over, I saw your minds were made up and continued discussion was pointless.
