Thread to move all the off-topic banter, name calling, repetitive GIFs, Memes, Copy/Paste Text, Political skews, Chest pounding posts.

Hash out your differences here... Save the other threads from becoming useless, usf-caliber dumpster fire ramble sessions.

This is literally what Mikes + 1-2 others do to every thread anyone they don't like (their 'target') posts in, over and over and over. It's pure 3-4 responses by Mikes and then a complete tangent with those 1-2 others, until someone else finally tells them knock it off (a potential new 'target') ... especially when they blame their 'target,' and get others riled up. It totally doubles and even triples a thread, taking over the finaly 1, 2 even 3+ pages.


I thought this thread was about a loan to a solar panel company?
It was until @UCFBS destroyed it
Lean / Six-Sigma process improvement events always include a "Parking Lot" to capture off-topic concepts to discuss at a later time, at a different event...

This WC board needs a Parking Lot sticky thread where insults, name calling, repetitive copy/paste text wars can be hashed out... So actual content, legitimate source references, and thoughtful opinions can be read/shared on a particular topic.
Yep, only me. Just like the other people you solely blame. Sigh ...

You're the a-hole on the playground that goes around hitting people you don't like, then runs to the teacher when someone finally decks you in return.

When I get decked, I take it like a man and don't act innocent. I own what I do and how I act. When will you? Again, you always want the last word ... if not 5 of them, plus 5 more a week later when someone even leaves the board.

Your credibility is sh--. The more someone proves you wrong, the worse it gets for them ... and the board. No one challengers you because you are relentless in your insults, especially the more wrong you are. Grow up.


Begin Mikey + 1 circle jerk ... (and a potential new 'target')

“Rivals Terms of Service”
You can’t ignore me. You cry that the ignore button doesn’t work. Just admit that you lack any Self awareness and mental discipline
And you have no credibility
@ homeland security @ fbi here is your next wacko who’ll wind up on the front page.

Thanks for taking over a week to respond me. You must have been busy planning the next devastating event in this country.

I’m asking you to leave me alone. I don’t tag you in posts and don’t bother you. What you are doing right now is harassment and a blatant violation of Rivals’ terms of service. I really try to keep toxic and crazy people who might do harm out of my life. I’m sorry that you have mental issues and thin skin. Please seek psychiatric help/treatment before you become the next mini-doc on HBO.

This is clearly his cry for help.
He’s showing all the signs. I can list them out. Basically hits all the red flags and check marks.
This to me, is the one that stands out the most:

"Many people have noted this to me in IM, PM and off-board, because they don't dare 'challenge' your cabal. That's why I take up their complaints."

Quite obviously, these are voices in his head. It reminds me of the portly guy in The Dark Knight who professes the exact same before his fat ass explodes, whale on a beach style, before God and everyone. This is why I just want to be left alone. I cannot have someone in my life who is toxic, crazy, and determined to do harm to others. I am a man of peace and love.

The thing that worries me the most is that he’s anti-government. Additionally, he lacks self-awareness and literary responds to a post 1 week later. Also, he has periods of EXTREME mania
100%. We probably should just start speaking in code about this situation so we are in the clear when the next disaster appears in the news.
Let's Parking Lot this off-topic banter


🍺🍺🍺🍺 😁👍
Stfu!!!!!!!!!

GO KNIGHTS!!!!!

CHARGE ON!!!!!!!!
I'm gonna need you to take this to the Parking Lot:


Meet me there.
We've had vigilantes just like you in the previous 20-year history of this glorious shit hole. I give you 2, maybe 3 weeks of good job, good effort before you toss your hands up in the air.
Be a part of the change... It takes a village.

Parking Lot!

Yeah, BS just posted in the parking lot. No way in hell am I going in there now.

I have to distance myself from crazy, toxic, and dangerous individuals who could potentially do harm to others. It messes with my dharma and peaceful inner spirit.
With that logic, you shouldn't be on this thread either.

How about you take your grievances to the Parking Lot.

How about you not mess with my chi?

Namaste, mother fukcer!!!!!
Check out this thread:


#Epic

😂
I’ll pass.

ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Honestly, reading this dude’s attempts are pretty funny. He’s so non confrontational.
We’re not used to this
He is trying hard. But I’m not posting in that time out thread with Mr. Toxic Lunatic with voices in his head playground shooter. I’m trying very hard to eliminate these types of terrible people from my aura of blue fukcing calm.
Perfect post for the Parking Lot...😂👍

What difference does it make where the back and forth name calling, meme filled, copy/paste text that you're engaged in is posted?

It does to those not participating.

I enjoy reading thoughtful view points from the different posters in here. It gets obnoxious trying to follow strings of thought, to be interrupted by pages of insults that have nothing to do with thread topic. Some are giggle-worthy, sure... Let's collect all that off-topic joy in the #ParkingLot !
I know you are trying but it's not happening.
BTW, among all those, this is my personal favorite from @KnighttimeJoe ...

... But I’m not posting in that time out thread with Mr. Toxic Lunatic with voices in his head playground shooter ...
Translation ...

"I'm not going to post my off-topic insults in a dedicated thread with Mr. Toxic Lunatic and others I spend my entire time insulting ... I'm going to only post in discussion threads with Mr. Toxic Lunatic and anyone else I want to insult, so I can tangent and keep anyone I disagree with and, eventually, everyone from even discussing that topic."

Of which you, @UCFloridaTech, see right through, among most others (my emphasis added) ...

In the past, like others, I used to eventually leave, just to give the board a break.

But @Ucfmikes and @KnighttimeJoe will tag me 2, 3 even 4 weeks later. It's funny to see their hypocrisy here ...
... Thanks for taking over a week to respond me ... I’m asking you to leave me alone. I don’t tag you in posts and don’t bother you ...
Ummm ... @KnighttimeJoe is tagging me.

He's someone who tags me all over threads, probably #2 to @Ucfmikes, especially now that (redacted, I'm not picking on him) no longer does it. He learned I, among other people, can hit the archives, and point out how wrong they are ... repeatedly. These guys do not. ;)

That's why even when I leave, I don't leave ... just like others. They get other people 'riled up' about me, or even posters who have been banned, when they aren't even posting, when they have us on ignore. They do it to everyone they dislike, especially the more they've been proven wrong, especially over time ...

They destroy threads this way. Which brings me to ...
The thing that worries me the most is that he’s anti-government ...
Yes, I'm anti-government by trying to get the voter to realize what they are supporting. Sigh ...

I guess I'm just such a horrible, allegedly homicidal person weilding classical American civics and pointing out how we're voting is becoming a compounding set of government 'please save me from other Americans' that is destroying our economy and then civil liberties in a vicious cycle of lack of opportunity followed by right to freedom.

Sigh ... if anything, I'm the one person following the aspect that we should change how we vote, to enact change. Meanwhile ... the two above are great at showcasing what's wrong with using the taxpayers' guns on the whim of the people to destroy the American dream and entrepreneurial foundation.

I don't understand the name calling aspect... I.e. pool guy or parrot? ...seems to discredit (potentially valid) content in a post. Trump did similar things, his points were lost when name calling was included... People focused on delivery vs content.

I don't know all the 'behind the scenes' interworkings, but I can tell you $4.69/gal suuuuuucks, on top of all these shortages, like wtf? UCF Finance/Economics professors preached, print money, increase money supply, devalue dollar, increase inflation. Regardless of the political spectrum, these are pretty basic concepts.

They say they are trolling, and people shouldn't take them seriously. But they do that after being proven wrong in some threads, especially from people like me that re-post not only their old posts, along with their new denials, but old expert articles, with new ones.

I'm not the only one they've done this too ... especially when they were extremely insulting many months, even over a year, ago. At some point, people just stop caring ... and posting. I'm one of the few a-holes who no longer stop responding ... and that's on-purpose.

So, basically, domestic energy finally kickstarted started in the early '00s ... and became commodity by 2007, just as everyone predicted it eventually would back in the '70s-80s.

But it basically breaks down as follows ...
  • Early '00s - Foreign wars
    • Speculation drives prices
    • OPEC does not increase production, despite appeals
    • Western countries invest in Russia (OPEC+)
  • Mid '00s - Repeat, active hurricanes
    • Impact refining, driving shortages
    • Compounding speculation drives prices to $4+/gallon
    • Small, regional/local banks begin first investments into Shale in Canada, US
    • Growth is focus of new, domestic (Canadian, US) Shale
  • 2006-2007 - Critical Inflection Point
    • New Natural Gas glut -- by product of Shale extraction
    • Martin-Harper (CA), W. (US) and NATO governments agree to make the resulting, excess Natural Gas from Shale available to via a planned set of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) terminals for NATO
    • Canadian and US DoT re-publish studies that piplines are 50x safter, per volume, per mile, than rail, which is often along water
    • Canada begins massive, domestic pipeline building program, cross-country
    • Canada also begins Keystone Export (XL) Pipeline with US, leveraging existing Keystone and other US pipelines, for export to NATO
  • Late '00 - US CO2 output drops for first time in decades
    • Only part of it is due to the economic downturn
    • Coal, Petroleum and other usage in Power Plants (most newer are tri-fuel)
    • Gas prices remain $2+/gallon, OPEC does not see Shale as a threat
    • Prices keep investments into Shale profitable, with new investments
    • US increases use of rail, including through Canada, instead of new pipelines
  • Early '10s - Increasing EU Demand + Obama anti-Domestic Environmentalism
    • US becomes net exporter of petroleum
    • Natural gas glut increases -- coal now 4x as expensive
    • Fukushima causes Germany retire nuclear power, increasing coal imports
    • US becomes massive next exporter of coal, especially to Europe
    • Obama 1st administration sees 8% CO2 reduction due to Natural Gas alone
    • Ironically, Obama begins war on Shale
    • Keystone XL pipeline is under review, despite protests by Canada, NATO
    • Administration creates new penalties on domestic fossil fuels, over an order of magnitude
    • These penalties ironically do not affect imports, which don't provide Natural Gas, just domestic energy, which is responsible for Natural Gas glut
    • Domestic Shale becomes far less profitable, first bankruptcies occur
    • 2013 - Lac-Megantic, Canada - US Natural Gas Laden Shale train from North Dakota, shipping to Canadian pipelines and other terminals, explodes, incinerating parts of the town, immediately killing 47 people (and dozens after)
    • Canada begins lobbying for the US to build more pipelines, instead of using rail, often
  • Mid '10s - OPEC Price War, More Shale + New Bank Bankruptcies
    • US being a net exporter is affecting volume shipments by OPEC
    • OPEC begins price war against American Shale, OPEC+ joins OPEC
    • Floods market with cheaper light crude
    • Gas prices drop below $2/gallon
    • Smaller regional/local banks exposed from 5% to as much as 30%+ investments, up to 50% of Shale companies are now in bankrupcy
    • Remaining Shale and investors go lean, stop all new investments, drillling
  • Late '10s - Trump Penalty roll-back, domestic tax incentives
    • OPEC keeps up price war, keeping gas below $2/gallon
    • Cuts penalties back to pre-Obama levels
    • Heeds Canada, NATO, and restarted Keystone XL
    • German and other NATO nations are completely dependent on North American Natural Gas for CO2 emissions and environmental plan -- per Martin-Harper and W. agreements mid-to-late '00s
    • Domestic tax incentives, new tax code penalitize foreign investments, including Oil
    • New stabilize most, but not all, Shale and most banks
    • Remain Shale and investors remain lean, still no new investments
  • '20s - Lockdowns, Biden administration restores Obama penalties, cuts all grants
    • Lockdowns wipes out demand, gas remains under $2/gallon
    • Biden administration enters, over doubles Obama-era penalities by sacking domestic Shale/fossil fuels with penalties based on overall CO2 by all nations, not just the US, more Shale and investors bankrupt, sue Biden administration
    • Biden yanks all federal land and Gulf leases -- even those that can be issued by Mexico -- for energy, including in-progress
    • Several small energy companies in-progress bankrupt, other, larger entities that survive, write-off losses, banks and investors sue Biden administration
    • Biden administration ends Keystone XL
    • Biden tells NATO to get Natural Gas from Canada and Russia, not US
    • Canada finally gives up on Keystone XL ... permanently
    • EU and NATO have unchoice words for Biden administration as a result
    • US begins using more coal, no longer a net exporter of petroleum, Natural Gas prices over double
    • By summer 2021, with increased demand recovering from over a year of lockdowns, Biden administration asks OPEC to increase production -- as expected
    • OPEC rebukes Biden, but would only provide oil, not Natural Gas, so CO2 is rising
    • Biden gives OPEC+ (Russia) incentives, US increases its imporation almost an order of magnitude -- still small, but a signficant portion of Russian income (60% overall from all nations)
    • Judge rules Biden administration fossil fuel penalties can only use US domestic rates under interstate commerce law, and cannot penalize base on global output, pollution by China and others, reducing penalties to Obama-era
    • Another judge rules yanking leases to be ex-post-facto and Unconstitutitional, order immediate grant of new leases, review of losses to domestic energy companies
    • But damage is done, many energy companies either bankrupt or write-off in-progress ramp-up to extraction for yanked leases
    • Russia invades Ukraine, Biden administration makes plea to domestic energy
    • No domestic companies want to invest without 10+ years of guarantees not to yank leases or enact penalities against domestic energy after 14 years of it (sans 4 during Trump -- hence the guarantee)
    • Biden administration refuses to accept terms set by domestic energy, stalemate ensues
    • Without domestic energy investments now, prices will only increase and remain inflated for another 5-7 years
    • Biden pleads with OPEC, and OPEC finally agrees to small increases in output, but prices will still remain inflated for years to come without further increases
    • Shale / Natural Gas remains a Canadian only venture, at 1/10th the capability of prior, US investment to the 2nd Obama administration
    • NATO remains tied to Russian energy, even nuclear-heavy France (although less than most others)

Threads veer off-topic quite frequently?

It happens in every single thread I've ever seen here.
But should the thread be 50%+ insults that don't even tangent from thread topic itself, and no one else wants to discuss, by the same 2-5 people in that 'Cabal'?

It's not tangents from the topic itself. This isn't about off-topic. A lot of the board is tired of it. That's why I'm posting here instead.

The 'Cabal'? They want their 'audience.'

I agree... This parking lot thread is for the repetitve back and forth and back and forth name-calling posts that bloat a thread from 2 pages of decent content to 7 pages of insults.

"Let's take this to the parking lot"

Also, consolidating all insults in one spot would make for an entertaining read.

😁👍

Full disclosure... I had to google the definition.
I was going to use the term 'KAnon' who plot to overthrow the Dungeon's discord, but I figured it might not click well with some. So I just used 'Cabal.'

I don't know why Mikes thinks it's my new word. I've been using it for months now. But he seems like one those who were on the short bus to school.

He also only posted the word 20 times ... not 200 ... or even 2,000. So that's an improvement.

You try to act intelligent, but since you’re unstable, you’re a failure. You should have went with your original term, since that’s who you are
 
. But he seems like one those who were on the short bus to school.
All this education got you nowhere, because you have no sense of self-awareness. That’s why you can’t hold down a steady job

You still have the record for a 1150 word post, but I’m sure it’s much higher

This is why we can't have nice things.

A long time ago I once thought folks could come to this forum and discuss things rationally and with some philosophical view points. I quickly realized this is an impossibility here. The debate quickly devolves into mean spirited name calling. The WC here is like the Bilge on THT boating forum. It's just filled with insults. It's not remotely pleasant. If I was actual friends with folks here and we ragged on one another then it would be fun, like making fun of your buddy's mom in 9th grade kind of thing.

It's not a parking lot . You should have named it the 6th grade playground because that's how people behave. Don't like what somebody says , call them names, call them racist or make fun of their careers . Rinse, wash, repeat ....that's the WC in a nutshell and it's ruined ,truly ruined by a handful of folks.

Howabout killing people by spreading anti-vaxx propaganda. Just totally ignore that. That’s where this all started. Additionally, you added fuel to the fire, so stop acting all innocent

Yes, because you were proven continually wrong.

I personally loved it when you initially accused me of 'Cherry Picking' from The BMJ saying vaccines didn't reduce Secondary Transmission with any significance against even HuWuhan-1 and Alpha variants, and that's why they correctly predicted it was already heading to Endemic in early 2021. The Delta studies were even worse, and then the first studies of recovery v. vaccination made you go nuts.

Then you discredited yourself by saying 'Infection' and 'Disease' were two things I was making up, and tripled down when I sent you various medical sites for the definitions, all followed by your claim the CDC statistics for kids with Pneumonia were only worse than SARS-CoV-2, even 'Long COVID,' because there was no vaccine for Pneumonia, and we needed to lie about kids ages and get kids vaccinated to protect them and stop the spread. I then pointed you to the fact check that the kids on respirators in Florida in the media were in for Pneumonia (they actually contracted SARS in the hospital) and they all had their 4-shot regiments before age 5.

You just kept digging the hole from there.

I'm not anti-vax, I'm anti-bullshit.
I [re-]set expectations, not popular assumptions.


Just one shot of anything will keep the general population that are not immunocompromised off of oxygen. No FDA expert panel has ever recommended re-vaxxing for the general population, and most are now openingly questioning the narrative to the contrary.

Even some in FDA panels are directly stating they are tired of the FDA leadership meeting with 'industry' (Pharma) 'behind closed doors' and 'how that looks.'

Screaming and blaming people for this new, endemic-headed CoV, and barking at parents to get kids vaccinated, even lying about their age, is grossly irresponsible.

Nothing was ever going to stop it from going endemic other than an intra-nasal, IgA-predominant vaccine early... and we still don't have one even in trials that is effective today!

Intra-muscular, IgG-predominant vaccines look good in blood panels, but do not have jack to do with reducing spread or replication.


The only thing I'm guilty of is 'setting expectations.' I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear. But it is now the proven truth.

And that's why I get called for countless tech surges in SC, because I'm a detailed oriented guy that sets expectations, and doesn't tell people what they want to hear.

You and your Cabal screaming that I'm an anti-vaxxer is just getting old.

Oh, BTW, the independent FDA expert panel just recommended the traditional (non-mRNA) vaccine 21-0-1. Now let's see how much the patented mRNA-only Cabal had control over the 'messaging' from the FDA leadership. :)

The Parking Lot reference is associated with the concept utilized in Lean/Six-Sigma process improvement events, when discussions arise not related to the topic being addressed in the event, the facilitator captures the non-related content on a Parking Lot sheet, to be discussed at the conclusion of the event, or a later point in time.


I toyed with the idea of renaming to The Octagon, as a no-holds bar safe space for criticism, name calling, etc, with moderators keeping their backs turned.

Once again let me spell this out in a language that MAYBE A NARCISSIST CAN READ

YOU ARE AN ANTI-VAXER, ANTI-GOVERNMENT, ANTI-BIG PHARMA CONSPIRACY THEORIST WHO IS INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING COUNTLESS INNOCENT PEOPLE DUE TO SPREADING MISINFORMATION HERE AND THROUGHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU LACK SELF-AWARENESS AND HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE WRONG TIME AND TIME AGAIN REGARDING COVID
AND VACCINES. YOUR INCREDIBLE LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS AND EXTREME NARCISSISM DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SEE THAT

ADDITIONALLY, THE ABOVE TRAITS HAVE MADE POSSIBLY A ONCE PROMISING CAREER INTO A COMPLETE FAILURE. YOU’RE INSECURE ABOUT THAT, BUT WE ARE NOT FOOLED BY YOU

YOU’RE AN UNHEALTHY 400lb MAN WITH A FAILED CAREER WHO
LIVES IN A SHACK IN RURAL ALABAMA. YOU ARE NOW AT BEST A PART-TIME I.T. SPECIALIST WHO PERFORMS ODD JOBS
WHEN YOU CAN GET ONE AND KEEP IT UNTIL THEY CAN’T STAND YOU.

You have been proven wrong on multiple occasions and in multiple threads, but your extreme narcissism doesn’t allow you to realize it, see it, and admit it
 
You are a godamn moron. This is not an off topic statement, it is a summary of our debate. I might as well be debating a doorknob.

No one gives a shit about your whiny little bitch thread, stop being so goddamn stupid.

@Ucfmikes ...can you start a list of repetitive insults for other users? ....I've seen you list "parrot"

...this dude likes to use doorknob and (I think) toaster quite frequently.

The list for be certainly includes parking lot and independent.

I mean what am I supposed to do here? I posted an obviously satirical joke, assuming no one here is dumb enough to use it as their actual talking point, and then you come out and word-for-word restate the punch line as your actual no-shit belief.

I am flabbergasted.

How do we as a nation reconcile this problem with stupidity? I can't be expected to treat you as an equal when it comes to opinions and voting. It is legitimately terrifying to me that your vote counts the same as mine.

This is why Mikes not only laughs at fellow Dungeon Knights who have died from SARS-CoV-2 disease and pisses on their grave ...

But if a fellow Dungeon Knights had a daughter or son commit suicide, he'd repeatedly re-post their post about it over the years, trying to re-open old wounds.

It's even more pathetic when not just Mikes, but the entire 'Cabal,' will say someone has mental health issues, and do everything to prod, poke and otherwise try to get them to engage. They not only don't care if they really do have mental issues or not, but they'd get an even bigger kick if they did ... or had a horrible tragedy befall them too!

And when they won't 'engage,' they will repeatedly keep it up ... for weeks, even months. Total violation of Rival's Terms of Service, especially with purposely spamming the board over and over and over, and them blaming others for it ... to the total annoyance of the board.

I'm not the only ones that call them out on 'crossing lines.' There is trolling ... and then there's sickness. This is sickness and everyone should call him out on it. I thought they would during the pandemic, but ... it was only a few, and anyone who did was totally lambasted and spammed too.

I guess in this case ... KAnon actually does work better than Cabal?


I have a lot of anxiety about this christmas. After 2 suicidal episodes this year I am really uncomfortable with the idea of being around the in-laws. This year has also brought about changes with my girls. I got divorced 8 years ago and had full custody of my kids until this year. They moved in with their mom in january and things have been pretty difficult between us since then. Nobody, including my wife, has been terribly supportive of what I've been dealing with this year and I've been putting on a happy face whenever I'm asked how things are going because when I'm honest it makes things worse. I'm just tired of it and now its going to be in my face for the next few days. Nobody understands but everybody has a solution.

Sorry to vent. Merry christmas to everyone"

Easy there fella. I agree with some of what you are saying, but can’t agree with all of it. If you live in a blue area and he lives in a red area, his vote counts more. Not the same. Now, please continue.

@hemightbejeremy

I think this post emphasizes points I've made in the past, too many people pick political sides 1st, then join in on discussions on the same "team"...

Instead folks should consider themselves independent, assess individual issues from a neutral context, and arrive at their own conclusions.

Do you agree?

I've not only been harping on it too ...

But I volunteered to be banned with him for all the **** bombs I've been using once it reached an overt level by him, beyond what even Ninja was doing prior, to bring attention to the problem.

It's kinda a joke at this point ... which you proved to perfection ... when you got banned for taking his gay bashing and insensitivity in images and innuedo, and put it into words.

Regardless of our differences, I salute you for your direct approach to prove a point.
