"He has given me shit, completely unprovoked, many times."
Yeah, I have witnessed that a lot. Really odd. He also boasts about how academic he is; he told me that he has a PhD in philosophy or something. It's funny that that intellectual side of him never shines through his comments.

@Ryo1
Yes, he says he’s a practicing psychologist, but if that’s the case, I pity his patients. I think he’s just making it all up. It seems his only talent is belligerence.

@skado He truly is a sad case. I actually feel sorry for him.

@Ryo1
Yes, apparently he has suffered some terrible traumas in his life.

I never even had a disagreement with the guy. He just started talking crazy, mean shit. I think he's on meth and/ or lotsa alcohol.

No, you didn't block him. You loved his post yesterday.

Obviously I'm one of those who posts content of a political nature. In another age I might agree with you that such provocative content is not appropriate for a site like this one, but not in the world we inhabit today. Evangelical Christians practically voted as a single unit to burden us with one of the worst presidents of my lifetime, possibly of all time. Their religious beliefs had everything to do with their preference for the disgusting Cheato who continues to threaten our democracy. And one could argue that the cult of Trump is itself a religion. The war in Europe is also a relevant subject, as it is all about Putin's disbelief in the sovereign state of Ukraine, and his project to make all Russians believe what he wants them to believe. And the Cheato and his minions have deep ties with Putin, and support Putin's genocidal adventure in Ukraine. All these things are intricately related. So yeah, I think certain political content is appropriate here. I hope you enjoy my posts, because they're going to keep coming.

@Flyingsaucesir Appreciate your posts, but as I see it, the issue isn’t just about the Orange Man, it’s about electing Republicans in general. Electing Republicans inevitably leads to conservative judicial appointments, and the opinions we get from them are atrocious, particularly in their prioritization of the powerful over the powerless, and their deference to religion. Roe v. Wade is history, access to voting is being restricted and the church is being all but encouraged to intrude into affairs of state. As a nonbeliever, my personal freedoms to be free from religion are under assault by the Right, every day.

@p-nullifidian I agree, it's about the whole Party, but it's not the GOP we remember from our youth. It's now the Party of Don Cheato. Inasmuch as he is publicly discredited, it makes it harder for anyone paying homage to him to get elected in a general election. It's a big project; there's a lot if ground to cover. I hope you will join me in fighting these SOBs. Let's expose them for the abject hypocrites and liars they are!

A while back, I had a similar experience from him. I had no idea why he got ticked off with me at the time, and in a round about way told him. I avoided him for several months, and recently, he has become genial to me. His neighbor stories are hilariously entertaining. His wife story was frightening and psychotic. Is he rehearsing to be a crazy, funny, curmudgeonly, eccentric mad-hatter or does he suffer from dissociative identity disorder or schizophrenia? Who can guess correctly?

Did he make sense in the past, and is now getting worse? Maybe he has a form of dementia.

mass adhonium attacks on those who take taboo popsitions are a staple here on agnostics. physicians, cure yourselves

godlike delusions. He's an English & American hating outback Australian with delusions of godlike abilities. His only daughter died on him when 15. His wife left him.
He's aka as a well balanced bloke - he has bloody big chips on both shoulders.
This was probably due to catholic schooling if not seminary study & being Australian.
He has claimed to have qualified as a nurse, train driver & TNT truck driver. The latter resulted in a crater in the road that still has not been filled in after decades. The middle job left him with uncompensated badly burned lungs & nasal packages still weeping like Niagara falls from his nose following rescue of a workmate dying from toxic pressurised gas escaping from a faulty rail tanker valve. Acording to him the rail company stated he should have run 4 klms & back to get a gas mask before rescuing the body of what would, after that time, been a dead mate & huge dissipated gas cloud. Reason for anyone to have a chip on the shoulder.

He does not deny Australian FNP (aboriginal) heritage but frequently despises them.

@FrayedBear We ALL have shit happen, some have really bad shit happen. My level of shit happened is pretty mild but I do try really hard to NOT visit my shit happened on to others.

I too thought we were on a friendly basis. A year or so ago we pm'd concerning a thread on here

No one defended you, and that's part of the reason I made this post. No one should suffer his meanness alone. I'm on your side

@twill Thank you. I wanted to ask others how they felt about his rants, but I did not think that the question would be well received. I came to this site for comradery and it seemed like I had found it at first, but like a lot of places on the internet this site can sometimes be hostile, unfortunately. Thanks for bringing attention to a growing problem.

@MyTVC15 My Pleasure!

Forgot to take his meds?

I just looked at his profile, too. All of his posts and comments are there. Maybe he blocked YOU. (And, in my opinion, THAT would be indicative of somebody who is unhinged.)

@Fit50something

Ha! Thanks. No idea why he blocked me.

Maybe because I'm a Democrat, feminist and environmentalist.

If he blocked me, I would not be able to see his profile. Agnostic.com has been glitchy. Couldn't edit my posts the last few days.

@LiterateHiker He gets upset easily.

I have been told people in the psychology field are either crazy when they get into the field or become crazy from dealing with other crazy people. Seems to fit many people in this profession.

@JackPedigo One has to shop around just as with anything else.

No, he's not a psychologist but may have been a social worker or nurse.

@Gwendolyn2018 Wonder how much of a compliment that would be coming from someone who was not 'fixed.'

@Gwendolyn2018 So immaturely stable. Okay? I guess one out of two is better than none

@Cyklone I wonder if he was a psyche nurse? Many seem to end up off balance if they weren't already there at commencement of training.

They probably blocked you in their group because you are there to troll. You've responded to a few of my posts with a comment just to state your opinion but didn't want any back and forth. Don't be mad at others for not feeding the trolls.

@Tejas So trolling means you want to go on and on with a back and forth? That is called arguing. I might bring something to your attention but in doing so I understand that going back and forth forever will not change your mind. With that said, why argue?

@DenoPenno my sentiments exactly.

@DenoPenno I mean a few of my posts in biden pinata and the offensive memes only groups you comment with a mild insult, knowing full well what the groups are about. When I do that in Trump pinata or other related groups I'm told I'll be banned in said group if I continue. So I really don't know what you expected.

@Tejas You and others all need to know that comments can sometimes be an insult. Is it all about agreement and coddling each other? NO, it certainly is not. Fans of a certain post are not the only ones a post attracts.

@DenoPenno Open discussion is like kryptonite to that group, facts and logic make them go into a frenzy. Never wrestle with a pig, you'll just wind up with pig shit on you and the pigs don't mind.

@DenoPenno I understand that, I don't care and welcome whatever comments. But some groups on here ban people for what they consider trolling, and it goes both ways and from both sides.

@Garban yes to both

@Garban @Garban

I don't think that he is right wing, just openly hostile.

From the canned one and two-liners he was using with me, some decent and some not so much, I got the distinct impression they were like new toys for him which he would look for any excuse to play with. I didn't notice this in his interactions a year ago. And it also felt like he'd continue to send provocations my way just to see what my response might be, as if he was taking notes. Strange.

@Rossy92 Yeah, I've noticed that. He targets people. You drop just one harmless comment and you get a massive aggressive come back.

@Rossy92, @Ryo1 Nigerian scammer, CIA or ASIO?

I find his stories about his neighbour quite entertaining. I somehow doubt that anyone could be so stupid but the stories are funny anyway.

I agree. The stories about his neighbor are very amusing. I have a feeling though that they are just that. Stories. Most of the stuff I take with a grain of salt, and some of it I just don't believe.
