@Ghost This idea. I've done it. Not as great as it sounds in theory.

Done it.

It's too bad he grew up; being able to fuck people is what fucked him up, I think.

Sounds like pretty much any post-adolescent male.

But now, I suppose, people are well and free to choose to partake in whisper campaigns of their own as residual fallout of this highly public dumpster fire.

I think a whisper campaign about whisper campaigns would be a bit too meta for me.

All that said, some seriousness.

If people are annoying you, or whatever, and you block them - that is cool. Shouting how you've blocked them like they've won a prize - that is not cool.

Block, and disengage. Don't talk to them, about them, around them, or interact with or to them in any way.

If you block me, I don't care. I honestly don't. You do you, be the bigger person, whatever. Don't make a fuss about it, and don't constantly fucking remind everyone "oh you're blocked I'm not going to read your replies." It makes you look like a fuckstick.

@tek There Is No Cabal.

Gods, I wonder how many folks even remember that joke...

@Meg It's okay, I'll debate philosophy with this super secret attacky cabal I'm apparently part of.

I'm sort of curious, now, as to what a whisper attack actually is. Is every single instance of talking about someone without them being involved a whisper attack, now? Do such things have to meet the broad definition of libel or slander? Do they absolutely have to be untrue to be an attack?

I'm somewhat confused as to how this is, at all, constructive. The overall idea of ending "whisper game attacks" is a fine discussion to have, but it has simply descended into accusations and counter-accusations.

@thesuntsar Except he did.

Damn, but y'all missed your calling as attorneys.

Don't attorneys have to wear pants, though? And do any sort of due diligence, and follow ethics, and do paperwork?

I'll add my two cents in, even though you won't read it Surr, because this circus needs more monkeys.

I am also not part of any whisper campaign against you. If I have a problem with something you said or did, I say it publicly. Here. Where all can see. I do this regularly, even when I'm wrong. I also don't think you're a bigot, and have no idea where that bullshit came from. I do, however, think you're prone to histrionics about even the most minor of subjects. I don't need to whisper to make fun of you, I do it in public all of the time.

as it's someone's better nature to be protective of someone who has been wronged or out someone who is seeking to do harm to others

I think it's less this, and far more tribal - for lack of a better term. Someone is in my tribe, so clearly they are always right when compared with someone outside of the tribe. The louder the outsider's voice becomes when protesting, the more secure one becomes that their tribe was right and the more vicious the attacks.

I think I would take anyone's stories about other people's sex lives well salted

So you do know about my sex life.

@RightMeow Always assume people are going to be at least a little shitty. You're usually right, and when you're wrong it's a pleasant surprise.

@RightMeow said in RL Anger:

I tend to always think better of people.

@RightMeow Why is any of this a surprise to you? Some people around here really are as scummy and fucked up as they pretend to be.

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

I must be seriously unpopular. Nobody tells me anything about anyone else's personal life.

Careful what you wish for...

Please. I'm immune to this sort of shit thanks to my stunning personality.
