Okay. So I was thinking about this today.
The nicest things people have said about me: Jack says I'm humble, I don't think its true, I fake it okay for short periods, but I don't think I'm a particularly humble person. Jack also says other good things about me that I would like to think are true. People say that even though I may not agree with them they think I'm someone who cares about people essentially. I feel this is true. I do care about people, they're all that really matters for the most part, relationships are what matters when you boil life down.
As for the bad things: People say I'm passive agressive. I've thought about that one since it happened last March, I didn't really understand what that means but I think I finally get it. And now that I understand what it means I think I can agree that I'm a bit passive aggressive, but not to a problematic level, I don't think a bit of it hurts anyone. Why is it such an insult to be told you're passive aggressive? What's wrong with it in moderation?
I've been told that I'm a goody two shoes, what is the etimology of that one anyways? Whether that is true remains to be seen. In some ways I'm prudish and in some ways I'm crude, it all depends on the topic really and what people define as prude and crude, I've got both going on.
People think its "sad" that I believe some of the things I do. If they seriously think that's sad then they should go experience real life for a spell and they'll see what sad is. So I can't agree there. I believe what I believe, it is what it is, I'm an adult with the right to believe and live my life as I see fit, y'all can believe how you wish too, its a free verse.
Others? What are the best, and worse, things you recall off the top of your head people saying to you on this forum? Do you think they are true?

Pretty much anything most folks here say about me is pure fiction, posted out of sheer spite, and zero credibility.
Getting complements is not why I come here.

I make it a point to say the worst things about me. As an attempt to mitigate the effect of insults so I don't keep gnawing through my own leash, teeth all sharpened to shark points like the berserkers of old, foaming at the mouth with beady orange eyes and a sickly pallor.
This rarely works. Crazed hyena laughter echoes through the board - it is only a matter of time.
Anyway. I eventually got used to passive aggressive, now I'm wound up about rape-enabling. Because I guess I do that? OR SOMETHING.
Worst thing I ever said to someone else is I called Niki a Left Wing Operative once, and I regularly accuse people of insincerity. Most of the time I piss people off just by being my abrasive self, I don't really have to insult people.

Riona, I can't really answer your question. I've had a lot of negative things said about me, and I've posted the very worst of them before. I don't keep track of who says what except for those, which were quite memorable.
I can recall some good things, but not who said them. I think I was called RELATIVELY fair-minded by someone--that's compared to some others here. I think I was told my posts were intelligent and that I really did try to have civil debates... No, I can't do this. I can't remember the specific wording, so trying to paraphrase what was said might get it wrong. Sorry.
Yes, there IS nothing wrong with being passive-aggressive in moderation, you're right. Many of us do it...ironically, I'm passive-aggressive in real life (try not to be), but not here, I don't think so anyway. If you look up passive-aggressive, you will probably find explanations for it and yes, taken to extremes, it can be pretty awful on those around one. But many, many of us are unconsciously so to a degree. Few here, I might say.
I think people call you Goody Two Shoes because your consistent "goodness" seems faked to them--just guessing here. The best definition I could find is Quote:
Belittling and insulting term for a person who won't do anything that can be regarded as "wrong" or "immoral". A male or female who perceives him/herself (or is believed to perceive him/herself) as morally superior - often also God-fearing and full-bloodedly American.
Everyone thinks it comes from an old children's tale, but it actually predates that--you can easily find information on it by googling it. It's a pretty outdated term, tho' some of us still use it.
I THINK some of the feeling is because it's hard to imagine anyone who doesn't get pissed at others much, who doesn't SEEM to take strong stances on issues that they're willing to debate, and who is always complimenting or being extra kind to others. That's not common here, so it stands out and people are suspicious of it. Again, just guessing.
I'm probably one of those who feels your intense religiosity is "sad". I won't go into that unless you want further, but I'm confused as to "experience real life for a spell and they'll see what sad is" -- who here do you think doesn't experience real life? I don't understand.

Hmmm, lets see. Not a lot leaps to mind.... Niki said I was handsome once after I posted a pic. That's true of course, as I am dead-sexy.
Rappy (and in the past, Kaneman and Whozit) have called me all sorts of things - but really, who gives a shit?

A new challenger appears. A battle royale ensues over insults against girl, society, and nature itself.
We go now to the scene of the dispute:

And death settles the whole shebang. Oh well.

It is the board consensus that they, also, think that you are attractive. There is speculation about the reverse.

LOL. Well done.
I cannot comment on their attractiveness, as to my knowledge, none of them has ever posted any images. Of course, there are faces I have mentally attributed to them. Rappy generally looks something like this:

I contribute to discord where I can. And see no better conclusion to this thread than escalating attempts from everyone on the board to top improbable insults.
Among, perhaps, other kinds of topping. But that is an idea that does not bear close examination, apart to say:
This thread smells like a troll orgy.
...Nice legs.
