Joe Kidd Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I saw a meme that struck me funny. It read, How do you get attacked online? Express an opinion and wait. As an articulate man I'd much rather resolve a disagreement via communication but if it turns to custard, I will go where it takes me. Would never in five lifetimes say anything online or over the phone that I wouldn't happily repeat offline. To me this is about personal integrity. If you're not prepared to repeat your perspective offline, you shouldn't being doing so online. I can categorically assure you, this is not the case with everyone online. There we have zeros becoming 8 ft bullet proof Arnold Schwarzenegger's free of any sort of consequence to personally attack and ridicule to their hearts desire. Each time they escape consequence they become more confident in their pretend world. Their favourite method is passive aggressive ridiculing jabs that they fire off at will and then wait for a hit. That modus operandi is seen on most online forums but every time you catch up with them offline, their response is invariably exactly the same. "Oh look I'm really really sorry, it's just a big misunderstanding". I shit on those people. Trolls worthy only of contempt. I saw the impact they had on beautiful Charlotte Dawson and a young lady my family treasured and adored. I've had my two youngest daughters trolled online by absolute maggots and have had two of my businesses attacked by piss ants that I fortunately caught up with but not before they had cost me many thousands of dollars and slurs on my business integrity that still linger. Online trolls are like sunburn on sunburn to me. Sterile vanilla communication online has limited value as does direct conflict. Sooner or later both will put you to sleep. Most definitely the sterile boring communication will result in you counting sheep sooner. Interesting subjects with a bit of colourful communication is the right balance to my eye. Will own the fact I have nothing but contempt for the oxidation pond. The cartoon dog is bereft of a backbone and has allowed the site he took over to become a place where hypocrisy, fake news and favourtisim rule. Their highlight these days is sad arse Ted the misogynistic troll. They do have some excellent members but they are a minority. JJ and his cute little friends from the oxidation pond are eunuchs. Right from the off they signposted what they are and their desire to turn this site into oxidation pond 2. This came about with me over the ridiculing of anyone who dared express reasonable reservation over the long term ramifications of the All Star domination of the high value harness races in NZ. I'm also not a fan of choreographed musical chairs in high value races when the AS have multiple runners. This invariably results in them having control of races while conserving as much energy as possible. The outcome in almost all of these races is inevitable. It's light years away from a level playing field. One small group of owners will be delighted season after season. A much larger and growing group are becoming disillusioned and that's not good news for the future of our sport. Happy to acknowledge the magnificent achievements of the AS but I never lose sight of the much bigger picture. To witness this unfold every season but say nothing and turn a blind eye to the ramifications is in my opinion, tacit approval and an enormous error. It's becoming a divisive subject. In the red corner you have those who doff their hat to the AS but are becoming increasing concerned about the bigger picture long term. In the blue corner you have AS cheerleaders. They won't hear a word spoken against their heroes. Anyone who has the audacity to express concern is attacked and ridiculed. They are invariably described as grumpy, envious and ignorant losers. This line of attack is clearly designed to shut down the subject and those expressing a perspective contrary to their own. The AS are as pure as driven snow and that's all there is to it. The AS cheerleaders are not remotely interested in discussing / debating the subject. Attacking, misrepresenting and ridiculing is their MO. This is divisive and not going away any time soon. JJ is the quintessential blue cheerleader so his welcome departure will help restore colourful but positive communication here....until his brave boyfriends slide out from their holes. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
