Quote:Originally Posted by X51 Someone here mentioned there was a robust conversation at CGC on the Detective 359 thing, so I decided to check it out. While perusing the thread I saw that a guy named RockMyAmadeus had quoted something I said here, and then interpreted it there to mean I was unethical, and then called me unethical for saying what he imagined I said. So I called him out on it. He came back with a thousand individual objections, with ... well, you know how he is, right? You tell him he's beating a dead horse and he'll say, "First of all, I never said it was a horse-the-animal, you just jumped to that conclusion, because "horse" actually has 17 different meanings and sub-meanings depending on the context, and I could have easily been referring to the basketball game, because you have ABSOLUTELY NO WAY of knowing that I wasn't; and besides that the word "beating" is derogatory and defamatory with negative connotations and not even CLOSE to what I was actually doing, which was just using a stick to vigorously hit the side of a large animal that was laying there, in the middle of the road and not moving, not to mention that we're not even sure it's an animal, and you have no proof that it was dead." Anyway, it struck a chord. I came back over here and looked through the "banned" list, and Eureka! I figured out who he sounded like: DocBrown returneth! He's not only up to the same tricks over there, but is also apparently lurking over here. I will say one thing in defense of DocBrown, though, and that is: I think it was HILARIOUS that he donated $5 to the GoFundMe campaign of $5 to buy graders notes for the Detective 359. |

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 This may well be true, but there are a lot of different flavors of INTJ. His particular flavor, it seems to me, is not really able to admit when he is wrong. "For an INTJ truth is more important than simply being right, so they will readily admit errors or mistakes." I think he has a very strong cognitive bias against being wrong on facts or, in particular, interpretations. And so when he does get something wrong and you point it out to him, he resists, strongly resists, and rationalizes like crazy to "prove": even if maybe perhaps I was just a little bit wrong, it really wasn't my fault because anyone in my position would clearly have thought the same thing and besides I already admitted it so it's moot now and your fault for continuing to bring it up. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid An INTJ is not swayed by emotion, how you feel, or empirical data which he has already determined to be flawed or incomplete. You have to come up with a logically sound reason why he should change his mind. He will argue points that he does not even believe to be true just to shake the truth from a conversation. INTJ's are fact hungry. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Wraith For many people, he isn't. If you want to learn something, he is capable of coming up with some very intricate explanations for why things happen. I'm an INTJ myself, so I already have my own knowledge base which is more important than his. LOL! |

| I don't have any problems with RMA. He actually messaged me early on to help me deal with the Mods since I was getting warnings for seemingly nothing. If some people would simply "agree to disagree" I don't think we'd even be discussing the CGC boards. It'd be a perfectly fine place to post! |

| I don't know all the nuts and bolts of how this whole chat room works but, this one seems to be so much easier to traverse and use. The whole layout is way more intuitive and trying to find a previous thread is usually very easy to find. The CGC forum just seems too convoluted IMO. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster I prefer a board having different categories to segregate discussions, but the people who set them up don't always make the process intuitive or logical. Even segregating discussion between Silver Age and Golden Age is awkward because people define the eras differently. A late Golden Age comic may stimulate more responses in the Silver Age category. |

Quote:Originally Posted by theCapraAegagrus My biggest problem is with his long winded posts where he breaks up the original poster's post into multiple quote blocks to dissect them and respond to each point separately. Many board members struggle with the quote tags and it's annoying for me to weed through a reply and make sure the tags are correct and matching up properly so that my posts are formatted correctly. His style of response was actually cited on a trolling messageboard as a tactic to use when trolling a messageboard. Yes, there is or was a messageboard that taught people how to troll messageboards and disrupt conversation. Some people get joy out of that. When I see people using their methods, I get a little annoyed. Other than that, I respect his right to an opinion. If his responses get long winded, I just quit reading them. Overall though, only about 5% of his posts are highly informative to me. I appreciate that 5% highly, but sometimes his posts aren't worth the effort for me to read. |

| Just wanted to jump in here and say something. RMA/DocBrown is banned from this forum. Because he is, he is not able to respond to anything said about him. He has said numerous things about me on the CGC forum and I choose not to engage him. It isn't worth my time. I'd suggest that we all move past his comments. This thread does make me feel great!! One of the things that was made clear to me and the other mods from the get go was that CBCS did not want a CGC board atmosphere here. I'm happy that everybody here has pretty much said that we have achieved that goal. As has been stated, there is a lot of good people and great information that can be found on the CGC boards. Out of respect for them, lets be careful with our comments here. Peace |

| And I'll add that all online communities certainly have "cliques" within them. It's totally inherent of any community. Not everyone has to like everyone else, and people with similar interests are going to be drawn together and form friendships. I do want everyone to enjoy themselves and engage in conversations on our forum, but I do not want it to turn into a pile-on, especially on someone who does not have the ability to come here and defend himself. So chat, discuss, bond, but be respectful of others, even if you don't care for a particular person. |

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 Well, you see, that's why I don't think he's a pure INTJ. He very much cares about being right. In the Detective Comics discussion here, I said I thought CGC got it wrong and the comic wasn't restored. I then said I would LOVE to buy that comic for $1000, and send it back in for proper grading, get the windfall for going back to a blue label. Look at that, he said, Tedsaid wants to slip it past the graders, cheat the system on a comic he knows is restored. "That's crossing the line." Hilariously, when I challenged him on it, he admitted I didn't actually SAY I wanted to cheat the system, but I "walked right up to the line." What line? What does that even mean? Either I said I wanted to cheat the system or I didn't. There is no "line" there. You can't be a little bit pregnant. Anyway, that's just one of many examples where he will tie himself into knots to keep from backing down. But I get what you are saying. A lot of the INTJ does fit. By the way, he is hopping mad right now that we are talking about him and he can't participate.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 I've just read Steve's and Jesse's comments and I'm happy to move on, but thought I would add one item in defense of this practice. It actually harks back to the old listserv days, where in-line comments like this were the easiest and most intuitive way to make multiple comments. These had the ability to split off into their own discussions, and it made it much easier to read and follow these distinct conversations. Newbies would often post a whole email-like response on all the different points, and others would often complain of the "wall of text" this would create. So it might not be done purposefully, as a disruption tactic, even though this forum obviously doesn't split into multiple threads and such. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid He'll live. In any case, I limit my forum time over there. I'm not pleased with how some members treat new people on the CGC forum, and I don't care for the dog piling that can occur for having a different opinion. As others have stated, not everyone is going to like or agree with everyone. It's part of what makes us human. Differences of opinion are great for engaging in the discussion of ideas. I'm probably biased but I do find this forum more welcoming and open. I like that the CBCS team interacts with its clientele (CGC might, not sure though). The forum here could probably use some improvements like a separate section for buying, selling, and trading. Other than that, it's easy to navigate in my opinion. I have another 90 minutes to go on my work day, so if you all could post more stuff to read, I'd appreciate it. |

Marximus private msg quote post Address this user | |
| In real life, we can shun the cluster Bs, or in many ways avoid them if we so choose. On-line forums draw the cluster Bs like honey draws gnats. It's their dream environment to obtain their narcissistic supply and ego kibbles. Our only defense to their incessant trouble-making is the mods. We can't physically shun or avoid them here. And it's hard to ignore them because of their walls of text. When I joined here a year or so ago, we had around half a dozen Cluster Bs that made the environment unpleasant, Doc Brown included. Since that time, Jesse and the mods have done a nice job banning them. Good job mods! Keep up the good work. |

| I never understood the Wall Of Text problem. If a thread page has 20 posts averaging 20 words, and the next page has 10 posts averaging 40 words... I think the real problem is the 'not wanting to read someone's post'. That's when 'moving on' works best. Demanding (complaing) that someone reduces the word count is wrong. If I see more words than I care to read, or if they're words I've read before, I use my ignore function (will power), and don't read them, and I don't tell anyone to stop posting so many words. At least I don't think I do. |
