Who are your favorite forum posters?

To me, this indicates that you place value in every individual and that you believe it’s worthwhile to extract that value by building a rapport with that person.

Respectable outlook, and you’re probably right.

My outlook is likely more flawed, but it serves my interests better: “people with certain opinions don’t fit into my life, and I’m not going to try to make them fit.”

I can’t walk on eggshells and I can’t bite my tongue, so I just go ahead and burn bridges to anyone who expresses an incompatible worldview, because no matter how successfully I am able to relate to them or understand where they’re coming from, at the end of the day, we’ll still have a difference in opinion which will prove functionally disruptive to our lives and friendship.

Being best friends with someone who hates dogs, for example. Can’t happen. I have 3 huskies and I put their needs on the same level as the needs of my human children. If a person doesn’t like dogs, they can’t visit my home and I struggle to respect or like them anyway.

So I don’t even try. Do I miss out on some great people? Probably. But I would rather miss out on some great people than alienate great people already in my life by including new friends who are hostile towards them.

Pawzer is one of my favorite posters although we don’t always agree I still like the posts.
Celebrate (I believe that’s how it was on screen but I haven’t seen them in awhile so I don’t know for sure) had a troll Avatar.

There’s a dwarf too. Can’t remember the name because I don’t see them very often but an awesome poster.

I love all animals, except spiders, they’re God almighty’s drug induced mistake…

I think the angels dared him to make something ugly just to see if he could…

Aw I could never think you’re petty.

I don’t believe i’m petty either for never wanting to engage again with people who commented that women deserve to be harassed :woman_shrugging:

I love spiders, too, but I don’t keep them as pets so it’s fine when people don’t like them.

Just don’t kill the spiders in my house (if you see any) and we’re good. I like how they reduce the number of airborne pests. :slight_smile:

Same happened to me in BfA. I didn’t even login, let alone post for five months, yet I kept my TL. I’d had alpha/beta access previously though.

Yep I bounced a while back for like 6 months off the forums, came back and still can flood you all with my bad taste in gifs.

I’m in the same boat, but I don’t talk about it much because I don’t want Blizzard to change it.

Rule #1: NEVER allow Blizzard to detect your fun.

I’d worry if I thought there was any kind of actual moderation around here.

For better or for worse, this forum is moderated by a gang of untrained chimpanzees with a dartboard.

I dunno if you read what I put in discord not long ago but they aren’t even that advanced.

They can exist outside of my house, but not inside. We have an agreement. I don’t get a great deal many bugs in my house so they have no reason to be in here anyway.

I will even name the ones on my porch to cope with the fact that i have to walk past a minefield of webs every morning to get to my car. My favorite was Jennifer, who liked to thrash, but then my senile neighbor thought she was a bird and killed her, but that’s another story.

Also they can only exist outside my house as long as they do not exceed the diameter of a quarter (legs included). How australians cope with Huntsman spiders just chilling in their homes is beyond my comprehension. I would release a swarm of tarantula hawks into my house before i dealt with that

Oh god he highlighted a Humanbeak post :rofl:

I haven’t seen Humanbeak in a while.

Idk if this is sarcasm or serious? :woozy_face:

I am not at all surprised.

I love all you beautiful weirdos! <3
