Accusing me of treating him, you and everyone else on the board poorly is a dirty tactic to get the board to side with him. He's pretending to be a superhero for the board because he doesn't like me for whatever reason.

I can: zeroHeadhunter wrote:I don’t care about being on the “good side” or who supports who. At all. When Jason is a bully to other people here, I’m going to call it out. I can’t count how many times he’s talked down to Zombie and J-Mac who are two of the nicest people here.
I'm basically saying that both you and I know where we stand on a majority of issues (we may not fully understand why each other has a particular stance, but we generally know the stance), so take any political issue (abortion rights, the death penalty, income inequality, immigration, taxation, foreign policy, etc.) and we're almost guaranteed to disagree.

can you separate what head says from what other people say? don't take it as a mob, but people with individual gripes, who may have some common experience, but not for the sake of just standing together or whatever.Jason wrote:Accusing me of treating him, you and everyone else on the board poorly is a dirty tactic to get the board to side with him.

No, just stop inventing things about me, applying it to how I treat others and using it as a springboard to attack me because you get triggered when I say I think you're being disingenuous.Headhunter wrote:There what goes?

I expect you to take offense to this, but I'll say it: you strike me as 100% homophobic. You may well have many gay friends, but I don't get a sense of understanding the trials that many in the gay community go through, and I certainly don't get much a sense of sympathy.Jason wrote:Excellent.

Do you think I hate gay people? And where do you think I stand on abortion exactly?
What have I invented? You bully and talk down to people in these threads and I’m no longer the only one who calls it out. Pretty much all my recent fights with you have been because you refuse to stop treating my friends like shit.Jason wrote:No, just stop inventing things about me, applying it to how I treat others and using it as a springboard to attack me because you get triggered when I say I think you're being disingenuous.Headhunter wrote:There what goes?

On abortion, I'd say "Pro-life." Whether or not you're for exceptions in cases of rape or incest, I don't know. Worth mentioning, you may be pro-life morally speaking, but not want to legislate against it, which is where my father was for most of his life on the issue.

He can outright dismiss my professed concern for my friends because of our past issues and it becomes a he said, he said. I guess that’s on me. But I swear on the life of everyone I love that this is about how Jason treats everyone else and my genuine issue with it. It isn’t about turning everyone against him or finding an excuse to prolong a feud. It really isn’t.
