 I tire of the victim approach to conflict on GC. Man up and stop whining because "people don't like you."

As far as I'm concerned, posters need to recognize that their posting style plays into how they are percieved as the person tied to the username. If people are constantly throwing offhand and oftentimes offensive remarks into their posts, they're going to be percieved as an offensive poster.
For a poster to turn around and play the victim while ignoring their own offensive or, let's face it, just plain stupid, comments ties the association that the OP is obtuse to them for several months or years down the line.
In short: Deal with it and stop playing the m-fing victim.

Oh no, dear, I'm fully aware that my posting style and offhand remarks affect the views people have about me as a username. But you don't see me going around saying "wahhhh people are just disagreeing with me to disagree with me because it's me."
Stop playing the fucking victim. It was never cute.

It seems to me that you participate in a great many threads that don't devolve into personal attacks. I don't see that happening with Deepimpact. Every longish thread I've see DI becomes at least partially about DI's interactions with other users.
I think it's normal for an occasional interaction to be about "why are you being a jerk to me?" but the majority of the threads you're in shouldn't involve that issue.

I think as Bush's terms went on, Republicans were just as likely to be criticizing him as Democrats. This early in his first term, yeah, I think people assumed that his critics were Dems.
I think we're still at the stage that if the election were held again tomorrow, even the folks disappointed in Obama right now would vote the same way, assuming they voted for him in the first place.
He doesn't really have to be good for people to vote for him, he just has to appear to be better than the other major party candidate.

Yes but I've participated in a great many more threads than DI has, and have posted here a lot longer. There's something to be said to learning the tendencies of other posters, if only for the simple help at knowing who to engage in what way.

That's in my top 5 Michael Jackson songs. Behind "Dirty Diana" of course.

But this just proves that I think we are GC twins.

Geez. I think this thread has reached its trite remark limit now.
ETA: Kevin and I must've cross-posted. I'm in no way insinuating that his calling out of madmax's trollhood is a trite remark.
