Jewish Conspiracies: Myths and/or Realities

[Searcher08]

Why not make AD a mod - to see what happens to RI?

Just to see what happens?

According to a new study on "high place phenomenon" published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. Researchers from Florida State University’s psychology department surveyed 431 college students, gauging their urges to jump from high places and whether those were tied to thoughts of suicide or depression.

In most cases the urge to jump had nothing to do with the Freudian "death wish." Actually it's quite the opposite. The study's authors think "an urge to jump affirms the urge to live."

The experience of a sudden urge to jump when in a high place has been speculated to be associated with suicidal ideation; however, scant data has informed this speculation. We termed this experience the high place phenomenon(HPP) and proposed that it stems from a misinterpreted safety signal (i.e., survival instinct).

That shit cray.

So basically if you're someone with "high anxiety sensitivity," that means you're more affected by the slightest threat, and your body goes into flight mode when presented with the slimmest chance of danger--like falling off of a secured bridge or slipping from a roof when your 10 feet from the edge. The urge to jump then might not be an urge at all, it's delayed reasoning for why you were so scared of being close to the edge in the first place.

Can I give you a tip, AD? Stop posting inflammatory garbage.

A tip for AD? That makes no sense dodger. What better tools are there for stifling conversations with emotive bullshit?

Sounds like you might be advocating for the centrality of a (putative) world jewish conspiracy, but without linking that to any sort of rigorous evidentiary argument whatsoever.

RI is good for unintentional humor though.

You seem to be spinning it in your mind as an accusation. It was not.

Quite so - your weasel word engineering is honed to a razor edge. It was merely an implication!

Sounds like you might be advocating for the centrality of a (putative) world jewish conspiracy, but without linking that to any sort of rigorous evidentiary argument whatsoever.

Sounds like you might be here with an unwavering agenda to convert RI into a struggle session administered by you! Not that I'm accusing you of anything, bud.

An agenda? Nah. You see, the RI resident bartender has repeatedly proclaimed AD's intentions are pure based on anecdotal feedback from an esteemed forum member. Y'all must be mistaken.

i took note of that myself. Seems to know more people in "irl" than anybody I know.

Interesting you took note of 82_28's second hand vouching for AD. You should get out more, old man, and maybe take a course in reading comprehension.
You'll meet more people and maybe improve your understanding of what you're reading.

I know for a fact 82's been truthful, at least in this instance.

There's a big difference in having someone here vouch for another's "wholesomeness" after having been informed by one who knows AD in real life, who is respected by all here, than in their saying, "I know he's ok, btia told me so."

"Vampires and Warewolves," indeed.

Let's face the truth of it. If AD was as Evil as some believe, he would have long ago been banned by Jeff, or any mods since.

Who are you addressing in your little ditty above?

Regardless, I've seen NO ONE refer to AD as "evil" -- that's more than a bit of a stretch, and also bestows more credit to AD than earned.

Allow me to clarify: my point is that it doesn't f'ing matter if 82 is being truthful, or if another "esteemed" forum member "vouched" for AD.

Whatever a forum member is/does in the "real world" does not provide that forum member a "free pass" and/or absolve them from certain behaviors/tactics in this message board. Quite silly to suggest otherwise.

In any event, back to the very topical and pressing OP.

[82_28]

Please don't drag me into this with the condescending "esteemed bartender" shit. So fucking what? In fact I really don't care at all. But leave your condescension at "the door" as it were. None of us have spent so much time here lo these many years in order to be ridiculed no matter how oblique. This goes for all members and the reason why I stick up for AD. His life and methods are none of my business.

[82_28]

Oh I guess you meant "esteemed member". Sorry. Don't worry. You'd know who he was if you've been here any amount of time. It's not up to me to reveal anyone because that is their business.

[Belligerent Savant]

.
82: you seem to be missing the point. No one is 'ridiculing' you or anyone here.

I simply can't get past the faulty argument/rationale you're offering.

The identity of this 'esteemed' member is irrelevant. AD's activities outside this board are also besides the point/not germane, at least with respect to the tactics he/she displays here.

Clearly, there are members here that disagree with AD's approach and are compelled enough to address it directly. There's no cause for you to intervene, if, as you say, you don't give a f#ck.

"Stick up for AD"?

If someone throws a rock (unprompted), and others ask why, would you then go and "stick up" for the rock thrower, particularly when the rock thrower generally ignores the inquiries of others?
(What's motivating the rock thrower? We can only speculate..)

I don't understand the logic your employing, but you're welcome to PM me "offlist" about it.

[82_28]

I really do not have a horse in the race. I do not mind American Dream's presence. That's it. Carry on. I will not argue for or against another member. However, I do not like being told how I should feel about someone due to opinion, thus I step up to a degree.

I spent years reading his shit before this became important all of a sudden. Didn't bother me, didn't change me, I just read what he had to say neutrally.

[Belligerent Savant]

.
Who's telling you how to feel? Point me to a single instance where a forum member instructed you how to feel about another forum member. IF anything, it's the converse: you insert yourself into the conversation asking why others 'pick on' AD, and that you're just totally fine with whatever AD chooses to type here, etc (projecting your own opinions and apparently expecting others to express similar sentiment).
Again: it's quite clear what YOUR stance is here. You may react neutrally to his comments. Others may not. Allow others to express their disagreements.
That is all.

(Full disclosure: in this instance, you only chimed into this thread after I alluded to one of your prior comments on another thread. I have myself to blame for this Purgatory.)

[coffin_dodger]

LOL priceless

[82_28]

I am only saying that it is useless to badger someone for something. I am also saying I do not give a shit. All of us are free to do what the fuck we want. AD poses no risk to my mind. It's just there.

On edit: Never mind. I'll fling my feces on my own time.

That's my kind of shit, right there! Hell yeah, bud. Cheers.
